1505 Words
I don't think I remember the last time we actually kissed,hugged or made love I looked at him sitting there on his high and mighty chair being serious."As you can see the stocks for this month are growing rapidly this new product is rocking the internet and people are loving it I mean who wouldn't??"Laughter erupted in the room and he smiled so genuinely more than he does for me these days I couldn't help but smirk."Meeting will be dismissed for now let's meet next week for more confirmation on the launching date."everyone got up from their seats and gave him a handshake applauding him for his genius plans what no one knew is that I was always the one pitching the ideas to him, he got this far because of my ideas but I had no problem with it because i love him so much,everyone soon got out and I started my work immediately and cleaned the room as quietly as I could ,waiting for all of them to get out so I could talk to him.As soon as they did I slowly walked up to him but he didn't even glance at me,he carried on punching his computer as if I didn't exist"Congratulations Ethan"He stopped typing and gave a loud sigh"Thanks!!."and said nothing more ,I wanted to say more but I could tell how annoyed he was so I just carried on sweeping and walked out the door.I wonder how things got to be like this I remember back in high school we used to be so in love he would buy me the finest things and take me out on dates with no end. He showered me with all the love he had and I felt as though my future was secure but looking at where I am now,I realize I'm just forcing myself onto him.Deep down I can tell he's no longer the same but I just can't let go.....I..don't want him to leave me all by myself..he's all I've ever known and all I wish to always have.i always convince my myself that it's just a phase in marriage that we'll move past it but I know it's all a lie created by my own heart.Its been three years already that we have married but still nothing has changed it has gone from bad to worse.Everything was perfect in high school but ever since we got married all i thought I knew about him has turned on me.i quickly walked back to my started working immediately so I could get off early and make him his dinner,although he never eats it anymore but I'll keep trying until he does.As soon as I got off work i rushed to catch a cab even though he has so many cars he rarely spares giving me a ride on one of them it's been decades since I last got into them,just as I was about to hail the cab I heard a voice shouting my name from a distance and the one person I really wish I didn't have to see suddenly stepped"Emily....Emily wait up!!!!"I wanted to quickly get into the cab and pretend I didn't see her but I guess I was too late since someone had already entered and it drove off.i felt devastation taking over my body because I know how much of a nuisance she can be,I quickly faked a genuine smile and waited"Hey girlie why are running so fast......wait...let..me..catch my ...breathe"we stood there for a few minutes while she struggled to catch her breathe and the whole time my thoughts were on how I don't want to talk to her today"You got off early today ,why is there any special occasion that's making you run this fast?"Ooh boy here we go "Not really I just want to go home early and rest.I'm really tired so can we talk some other time."She only stared at me trying to read my eyes but I kept them stern to avoid her asking unnecessary questions"Okay,I can take you home you don't have to use a cab you know.."I needed to find an excuse fast because I really don't want us to do any 'catch up'"You don't have to worry about it ,I don't mind and there's also somewhere I have to go to before home and it's probably gonna be a bother to you , I'll just see you tomorrow."I could tell that she could see I was trying to get rid of her "I heard Ethan really impressed the board members today and next week we might be launching"Just as I had feared she has already mentioned his name,the one thing I was avoiding"Yes he did and I'm so proud of him."She looked at me sternly"I see,so how are you now??"I glared at her "I'm fine thank you for asking."she reached out to touch my shoulder but I just shrugged her hand off"Is he still not going to tell anyone that you're married??"Exactly why I didn't want to talk to her because she always talks about this.We've been friends for 2 years and I made the mistake of telling her about my love life and now she always tries to interfere with it.Although I may have been the one nagging her about almost everything that had Ethan in it but now I really don't like how she's always trying to tell me how manage my marriage. One time Ethan went out on a dinner party and asked his secretary to be his date instead of me, his wife and i literally stalked them but since I couldn't get in I had to ask her for help so I could infiltrate the party and make sure he wasn't cheating on me,and another time he didn't come home for 2 days and I begged her to help me look for him only to find out he was relaxing in a hotel with one of his male clients and even now the reason I got the job at my husband's company is because of her."He hasn't yet but he will."She looked at me defeated"How long are you going to do this to yourself??..You kno__"i already knew what she was going to say and I didn't want to hear it since she's said it more times than I can remember so i gave her the shut up glare and she kept quite "If you don't mind Lara I'd like to go home now and please stop asking me about my marriage we're fine,I'll see you tomorrow and goodbye."She tried to stop me but luckily the cab stopped in time and I got in ,I sat down and sighed because although I might not want to hear what she says but I know that most of it is true"Can you take me to the Arma residence please."I quickly got home and took a shower and got ready to make dinner, Ethan knocks off at 7:00 so I had to finish his food before that.I made him his favorite beef stew and rice it's always been his favorite ,I waited for him until midnight and he didn't come home.and just as I was about to go to sleep I heard the knob turn I quickly got up and made my way to it,I put on my biggest smile ready to welcome him home but that quickly faded in less than a minute"Hi??"I was curious as to who he brought along and why would he bring her at our home in the middle of the night.He looked at me without any interests and briefly answered me as if talking to one of his workers"This is Nicole,we'll be working late so please don't bother us."and with that they walked towards his office. I just stood there like a complete fool not knowing what do.i tried bringing them food but he refused saying he doesn't want any disturbances so I went to sleep with a troubled heart,I wanted to shout at him and ask him who she was but the last time I did something like that he walked out the door and didn't come home for 2 weeks.So I didn't dare.i forced myself as best as I could to not take it to heart and sleep soundly so I could wake up to a brighter day since it is our 3rd anniversary tomorrow.I don't know what I was hoping for but I knew that he might not even celebrate it. I woke up the next day ready to wish him a happy anniversary,I rushed down the stairs with a bright smile but what I saw was not something to be happy about"Ooh and who do we have here ,you finally decided to wake up???and while you snore like a pig who is suppose to be making me breakfast??."I stood there frozen for some time.there was no one who gave me chills like his mother ,I was wondering when she came back.I was about to answer her but then noticed that Nicole from yesterday was already up for the job.
