1548 Words
Eve I don’t know when Mark will come back. His trips are never as long as he says they are. It can be 2 days, 4 days or even weeks now. They are usually never so long. But his excuses are always the same. Unexpected mis have, meet a new client at lunch. Helping coworkers with a big case. Whatever it was, it seemed to make sense for him to be away for so long. Now take advance of it and find out some truth. All his lies will surface now. Last night was our anniversary and I knew he had forgotten about it. He would normally take the next flight out in the morning to just spend time with me. But now he can’t wait to leave fast enough. It was f***ing irritating, as s****! Let’s just face it. Last night was a test to see how he reacts towards the card from Cami. HE FAIL. He got so angry and I tried to talk about it. He would never shut down like that before. We would hardly even fight. Why the h*** did he get so defensive about it? If it was really just a client, he had no reason to be so mad. “I will find out who this Cami really is.”He has been gone for awhile now, so I got time to find her. I don't care how long it takes, I will find out Mark's little secret. What if she really is an old lady he helps out? Then he wouldn’t have been so angry last night about it. No harm, no foal right! “RIGHT!!” I went downstairs to grab the envelope from where I left it. Did he really think I was gonna let this be? Ohh please. I remember there being a second address on it. I found the store's name and decided to drive up there. Walking to the small closet by my front door where I kept our shoes, coats and other items that we had grabbed for the day out. Putting on my black lace-up high top boots. I was wearing army green mid-rise jeans and white too, where the small ruffle sleeves fell just below my shoulders. I had my hair slicked back for today with my small golden earrings. Grabbing my keys, I locked the door and headed to my car. I started to drive off once I got this god for sake. GPS to work. Why the f*** does this thing never works! Why is it whenever someone is in a rush , the gps wants to act up? Like you got one job. Do it right. After a good minute, the gps started to work. "It says it takes about 2 hours to get there." Looking at the city’s name. I noticed we had never been to this place before, nor had I heard Mark talk about it. This wasn't in our town. "Whatever I may be over thinking." Shaking my head. After 2 long hours, I finally made it to an outside shopping mall. It was busy since it was the weekend. But I was able to find parking not far away. “Wow, this place is nice. I have never been here before.” It is one of those nice outdoor malls where teenagers try so hard to work out. It's like a real life movie here. Friends and family walking laughing. Enjoying each others company. Ugh, it seemed a bit annoying after a while. Yeah, after an hour or so this s*** gives me a headache. Mmhh i smell cinnamon buns. Let get some! Not yet brain, I got to find this store first. I found out if this Cami chick really is an elderly lady or not. Buuzzz…Phone ringing Mark is calling. See what that s**** head has to say after his show s*** last night. “Hi sweetie, I just want to check on you and see how you are doing on this fine day?” He seemed so happy. “Ohh I’m well hunny. I just got my normal errands to do today.” I’m not lying. I do have errands to do. Like finding the truth behind this Cami chick. Yes, that is what I am talking about BRAIN. What else would I be talking about? Don’t argue with me. I ain’t the one hiding s***. Ugh. I roll my eyes trying to ignore my annoying a** brain comment. “I hope I didn’t ruined your night's sleep, last night. I shouldn’t have raised my voice at you. I am sorry sweetie. I know it was our special night.” Try to sound so apologetic. “Ohh it's fine hunny, I know I can be a bit pushy and..” he cut me off to finish his excuse. “ No sweetie, I shouldn’t have ended the night like that. I was just so tried after a long day at the office. I had a stubborn client that was dealing with all day. And I just snapped.” I can feel my brain rolling its eyes at his apology. If the brain had eyes. “So hear me out. When I get back, I will make it up to you. I will take you out to your all-time favorite places. Go shopping and all.” He is trying to get you to forget his childlike tantrum. “Sure, hunny, I look forward to it. I can’t wait. Well, I don’t want to hold you up. I know you got more busy stuff to do.” Trying to sound normal and not in a rush to hang up on him. “ Oh yes, I am just about to head out my hotel in a few minutes. I just wanted to clear the air with my favorite girl in the world. Bye sweetie.” Does he really believe that we can act like a d****b** and think we will forget all about it? We’re not a child, he can’t just shut us up like that.I have already gotten tired of his childiness. I am just gonna ignore it just the same. I know something is up. And this is the envelope and card that is gonna lead me to the truth behind Marks' Playboy scam. Gezze where is this d*** store? “ Where is this place?” I feel like I was walking backwards. "Ugh, come on. Where are you?" I said to myself in a low whisper. I found a directory and it showed me the store was on the other side, 4 stores down on the right. Ugh great more walking. We’re almost there, so knock it off. Whatever God I had an active brain. Does anyone else's brain talk this much? *Thanks All Around* “ Finally!” As soon as I walked in, a smell of flowers hit my nose. Ugh god it stinks in here.At least the store looks clean. And the flowers are real. “Wow, this store is huge. I guess you got everything in here to gift someone.” As I walked in, a voice came from the side and made me jump.“ Welcome to Thanks All Around, is there anything I can help you look for today, ma’am?” A young employee spoke out with a huge grin on her face.Young and beautiful, told you guys just like a movie. Both of us let out a smiling laugh at my gasp. “Ohh yes, I have this card that was purchased here. And to see who brought it?” I asked “Yes, ma’am, I can look that up for you.” Keeping a gentle smile on her face.She scans and types a few things until she retraces the information.“ Looks like a woman named Cami Bennet bought the card with a few other items and asked for them to be delivered to an office building, under the name Mark Samford.” The lady said. “Do you remember how old this woman was or anything about her?” Not trying to sound suspicious. “ Ohh yes, I remember her. A young, very pretty woman came in and asked to have these items sent to her boyfriend.”Her boyfriend, ohh h**** no!!! I am not gonna show my anger in front of this lady. Got to act normal here. Can I see what other items my sister has purchased on my card? Your sister? Now you’re becoming a lair. Shhh I got her to show me Cami's address, you i***t. Ohh smart lady “let out a brain laugh” “Yes ma’am,” she went a head and flips the screen towards me. “Here are all the items she purchased. She ordered some common items.” using her finger to show me all the items .There you see that, her card information. There was an address on it. “I see, yes. Okay, mhh thank you so much for your help”, smiling at the employee for your great help. “Yes ma’am glad to help you.” Putting that hug grin on her face again.“Thank you so much,” letting on more gratitude to the nice lady. Now let's go. We got her address.
