Cami
I went along with my ordinary day. I went to the café and got my an expresso and no sugar dark coffee. Then i sat in traffic commute while i head to work. I didn’t work close to home. As i like to enjoy my day both morning and sometimes near late evenings. I enjoy the long drive.
That way sometime i get the rare accession to see the transition of sun to moon. I feel like, i am driving into the sunset or sunrise. It openly sets my mood for the day. Even at night, i could be having a tough day and just the sight of the sunset changes everything for me. I don’t know if thats odd or what. But i enjoy it really.
Work was causally today, i try not to think about Mark or Eve at all. As there are hundred of stuff going through my head.
I mean after everything, something doesn’t feel quite right. One of the two ate lying yo me about the other. Or maybe their both lying to me and i’m just a sick hoke to them both.
“Ugh no Cami, don’t think like that. Some people have good intentions.” Thinking out loud to my self.
As the day goes by, i keep a clear eye on my phone for Jason call. He normal will call in a day. If there’s not much he find he will call at the end of the day.
I want to believe that the man i have fallen for it who i believe he his. I want to believe so bad that he hasn’t been lying to me this whole time and is still lying about things.
I would never be able to look at him the same after that.
Just the though made me sad. But i am at work and i suck it.
I had made it home and it was near 10:00pm and Jason hasn’t call me yet
“Maybe he will call me in the morning with some news” i settle down as i make my way through the house.
I try to see if there was any sign of Mark present.
Nope nothing.
The house looks the same as i left it this morning. The house seem different as i walk through it. Again i try bot to thing think about anything. So i got ready for bed instead.
I took a nice hot shower and put on a long t-shirt with some graphic boy shorts undies on, and for tonight i felt like i wanted to wear some fuzzy socks. So i grab some from my sock drawer and put them on. I brush my hair and lotion up my body. I got into bed and throw my self on to it. Like kid just jump straight on my back and close my eyes.
*loudly exhale*
“Ahh nice and cold mmhh”
What is it when you have a long day. That all you think a out is going to bed and sleep. And then when the moment come to finally get in to that loving bed. It’s like heaven. Everything you go through the day, just seems to melt away.
My bed is like my best friend.
Then reality sets in and break through my brain and reck my mood.
“Maybe he got held up with bill” think back to the morning
“Maybe i should text him or call really quick” a grab my phone to call Mark and his phone goes straight to voicemail
“His phone has mainly going straight to voicemail all day.” Rolling my eyes at frustrated towards Mark ignoring me.
I even try to call Mark a few times today but he never answer me. I even texted him and he send just a small quick reply’s.
After a call twice, i send Mark a small text.
(Hey baby, i know you must be busy. I was wondering of you be making it home tonight.
Well i’m head off to sleep. Wake me up when you get here.
I love you Mark xoxox)
A lay on the bed and lay there waiting. Hoping he will come home any time now. He wasn’t suppose to be working late anymore. He promised me that he will start coming home sooner. And he missed the cake tasting too. Will after her didn’t pick up his phone i just cancelled it.
I know i could held picking out the cake for the wedding myself. But that wasn’t the point. Planning the wedding was to be a special thing we do together. I was really looking forward to that dated. He now i have to wait another week to set it up.
How could Mark not show up. It wasn’t like him to not call me ahead if he wasn’t going to make it. Everything was going so smoothie until this morning.
*buuzzz buzzz*
As my phone vibrated it took me out my trances of thoughts.
(Ohh i am so sorry baby. I have to stay in late and fix Bill mess. You know how he is. I will just get a hotel.
I also have to step out of town to a meeting with a new big client so i won’t be home for a few days.
I will call you. I love you Cami Bear)
A tear drip down my cheek as i read his text.I wasn’t sad. But it was.. i don’t know.
I just throw my phone to the other side if the bed and got ready to sleep.
My mind kept telling me something was off with his text.
After everything with Eve, today all together. It was like my life was getting out of place. It was starting to get off trace.
“Maybe it’s all in my head. My Eve is psycho like Mark say.” Throwing all the extra throw pillows to the floor.
“Maybe she hear about the wedding and she just want to mess with my head.” There had to be more to the story
“But what if thats not the case”
As more and more pros and cons to the situation pop in my head and slowing drown to sleep.
*Morning*
Woke up to a empty bedside next to me.
I couldn’t help but feel alone this morning.
*sigh*
“I hope he miss sleeping next to me as i did last night” i rub Mark side if bed as my head thinks of the last night i woke up next to him.
“I will text him on my way out the door today” i throw the covers off of me and go ready for the day.
I put a big black butterfly clip in my hair to get most my hair up. But still leaving about half on clip. I worm in a grey dress the meets to my knees and a small coat that goes with it matching the grey pattern on it. I match the outfit with black pumps and basic make on.
I sleep in a little more the usual today. So no time to make breakfast and read the papers.
I got in the car and stop for my expresso and dark coffee no sugar. Traffic seem to not be so bad today so i made it to the office at good time. As i rode the elevator up to my floor i send Mark a Good morning text.
(Good morning baby, miss you all night. Hope to see you face soon.
When you get back we need to set up a new date to do cake tasting.Have a safe trip, iI love you Mark xoxoxo)
As i got out the elevator and walk into my office. Mark text me back almost right away.
(Good morning my Cami bear. Yes i miss you too. And your lips all night. The both of your lips keep me up, i couldn’t stop thinking about the both of you. ;)
I’m sorry i forget about the cake tasting. I will make it up to you.
I love you Cami Bear)
Seeing Mark’s text send chill up my spine. I was in a good way. I hated when he goes away for long but it was understanding with the line of work he has. I just learn to get use to it. Which i am, but i still would rather have him in my bed and not at a hotel.
I settle in to work and go throw my emails. Replying to clients and coworkers. And getting all papers aline. My phone rang.
*BEEEEP BEEEEP*
(Incoming call Jason)
A relief went over my head when i say Jason calling me back.
“I hope it’s good news”
*exhaling*
“Hey Jason, what you got for me?” Lending against my desk with my elbows
The suspension was killing me, as i wait on the other line of the call. Waiting to hear the good and the bad. Listen to the past records of the one person i thought is my soulmate. The one man that i jump the bridge for.
I did everything right. Everything right, that came towards him. Every since the day we met, i plan the future for us. A June wedding with our most dearest friends and love ones. Buy a house on the hill in a small town. You know the one where everyone know everyone. It may be annoying how everyone knows everybody’s business but they do it out of love.
Have two dogs and some kind of other pet. Anything really, maybe a rabbit or something. Then when finance is good, we will start having out beautiful kids. 2 kids the least. If we had a third one, it be the unplanned but still love the same. And they all would look like him.
Every morning i will see his eyes, my nose, his ears, my lips and etc. All mix together in little from.
Thats what i was thinking of when i pick up Jason call. I was dissipating the aspected of my future in seconds. My heart clumping to my chest to wait for rock to crack the screen.
This was the moment where i find out who was telling the truth and whom was lying to me.
“Sorry i took long. I had to wait for a report to pop in from a guy. But I got everything one both the Samford’s” he spoke in a fast pace but i couldn’t tell by his tone if he found something good or bad
“No you’re fine.” Licking my lips as i feel like getting dry
“Who would you like to hear first, Eve’s or Mark’s? Eve’s will being a quick run through.” Hearing Jason option i choices the one that gives me a clear statement on the other
“What you find on this Eve chick?” Speaking a strict tone
“Alright well Ms. Eve had an average life. She graduate with all A’s from EastHeart High. Went to college in the same town but didn’t graduate. It looks like she was 2 semesters short. Around that time it looks like she got married to Mark Samford and change her last name to his. No work history after that. So my guess is she a stay at home wife. On an annual online post show her honoring a death of a friend whom died in high school. One post shows her in her cap and grown at the grave.No kids, no pets, no family history really. Umm ohh it does look like she had great credit from work she did before marriage. She did and internship her last year in a half. She was in 2 wreak in her life. Came out on the green side, from her medical records. No arrest of any kind.” I hear Jason typing some stuff on a computer as her finish talking.
“Uumm yeah thats it on her. Average life as i can see” Say Jason
I don’t know what i aspect to hear about Eve. I guess something showing why she went crazy like what Mark had said to me. I was surprise there was no police record. I thought Mark called the cops on Eve at one of her’s violence outburst.
“Okay and what did you find out about Mark Samford?” As the words left my mouth i took a deep breath in.
Preparing my self to hear any bad news to come out. I just hope its not full of total bulls***.
(Jason Clearing throat)
“Alright well he is a whole other story, you ready to hear this s***?”
“Yeah just tell me Jason” i was just ready to ripe off the bandaid
“Alright so Mark seem to graduated from the same school’s as Eve. Looks like they meet in high school and then married in college. He graduate with honor roll with great resume’s from professor which lead him to have the job her excels now. Has great credit and great seems to make a load of money. He has tons of investment under his name. Even one to a stripe club haha wow what a guy” Jason chuckle
“Yeah yeah school boy keep going” rolling my eye at him. Even through he can’t see me
“Okay yeah, umm he seem to be a really rebel of a trouble maker up until college. Got in a lot of fight as a kid. Even broke two kids arm, leg. And crack one boys head open. Woof seem to be a hot head of a man.
He does have a few police records for speeding, and DUI. Also has one for brutally beaten a young male at the age of 20 very severe way. And it looks like police spoke to Ms. Eve about the beaten.Overall he seem to be clean with his temper.
He does have a few bank accounts to where Ms. Eve is not co sign to. As well as some mortgages. He seem be on tons of vacations doing side work. No information on what kind.
He spends quiet some time in fancy hotels. Usually reported to be seen with a women. Mainly different women’s from the hotel. He seem to be a using the same one multiple time. He looks to be a man w***.
Good for my man, he gets a lot of p*** even out the county i see here” gross i almost throw up at the Jason comment
“He seem to be close to family and have a ton of friends. But no kids nor pet’s either. He not a social media person so i didn’t find much there on him. But he does seem like a guy who know people and is always on the move.”
“Do you see anything saying he got a divorce from Eve?” One of the main question i wanted to know
I hear more typing and random noise before he spoke. “Umm nope they have not divorce. No showing of separation either. But it does look like they had a 10 year wedding anniversary a few days again.”
“And do you have their main address?” Holding back tears
“Mmhh yeah they seem to share that as well. Report shows a average marriage couple. He just seem to be a dog. Who knows if the wife knows. It could be an open marriage but she seem to show no male friends.” Hear a click of his tongue
“Umm okay thanks, anything else?”
“Nah but i’ll sent you all the information to you. That way you see for your self. I will highlight the address for you” a few second later i received an email from Jason
“Alright great i got it, thank Jason.”i try to end the call buy Jason noisey self had to ask a question
“Cami, may I ask if this is the same Mark you’re marring” i hear a a his voice soften up
“Yes, it him” swallowing a lump in my throat
“Ahh f*** Cami, should if told me. D**^ girl my bad...”
“No no worries. I needed to know the truth. I don’t want to marry him if he’s hiding s*** from me” cutting him off
“Alright, i know you can do better. Let know if you need me to kick a***. I know a guy who knows a guy that can take care of him.” Jason always look out for me since we meet. He was a very close friend. Had one fling but neither of us wanted to be committed.
“I can handle this myself. Just know the wedding so f***ing off” laughing a little as i speak
“I know you can Cami, have a good one”
“Thank Jason” i end the call after that
My body start to shake as i throw my staple to the wall in rage.
“F*****!!” I throw my head back at the words of everything relive in my head.
“How can i be so f***ing stupid” i hate myself at not knowing how much of a dog Mark is.
At least now i know who i can trust. Well i know for sure its not Mark.
