The Other Woman

4. MAXWELL

It's Saturday morning and I have golf with the boys. June wakes up ahead to prepare Colton and Andrew, I vaguely remember her saying something about them hanging out with Alfred till noon or evening. I will make sure to ask for details later. I get down from the bed and walk into the bathroom, I pick up my toothbrush and begin to brush my teeth. Honestly, my family means everything to me and I really need to stop daydreaming about a certain red hair. True to her words she has neither messaged me or called. This is an itch that I must not itch, the consequences are too much and I won't want to cause June so much pain. I look around me and get into the shower, don't know how long I spend in there but once I'm out I see June in our master bedroom and she comes to give me kiss and asks what my schedule is like for today. I tell her just golf and I have plans on taking her out this evening. I see how her eyes sparkle as I say that and then I added "dress sexy" Colton and Andrew are twins, they're just seven year olds and they can be a handful at times, I kiss her on the lips and head towards the closet.

I pick up the gray shorts and white polo I got at Nellview Boutique and I decided that during the week I'll go there, hopefully I meet Giselle the red hair again. I haven't seen her for over a month and the thrill of it is something I should not encourage but I want to see where this goes "Just one night" I say to myself after this the itch will go, I hope and pray. I dressed up and carried my golf bag to the golf course. I got there and tried contacting Micheal, he's my friend and business partner, still scrolling on phone then I hear a loud and familiar laugh I turn my head so fast and I could not believe my eyes. She's here, the woman I've been daydreaming about is here. She is not alone, I see her with another girl and a guy, the guy says something and she laughs loudly again, I begin to get irritated and I don't know what is the cause of the irritation.

I put my phone into my pocket and move over to where she was, God help me to sound cool and collected. "Hello Giselle, we meet again" She turns and the priceless shock on her face is something I will pay to see happen again. She replies "Maxwell, I didn't think I'll be seeing you here, how have you been" she says all these will giving me one of those high socialite kisses on the cheek which I know is for formality sake. "I've been good and well, how have you been" I know she has been well but it's nice to ask right? She says "Oh, I've been quite ok just really busy, well let me introduce you to my friends" "Meet Ashley my best friend and George" Why is there no tag attached to George? Who is he to her? Is he Ashley's boyfriend or what exactly? She should explain further. I said "Hello Ashley" while shaking her hand and I shake George also. Ashley goes on to say "Oh George is my boyfriend, we accompanied him to play golf today and have a little girls chat while he's busy talking business" Thank you Ashley for that explanation. I smile widely and say "So, Gigi based on our agreement your going to give me a call because we meet again" Her eyes widened and just like I guessed she has forgotten about what she said or she hoped that I wouldn't remember.

I sight Micheal from afar and wave him over, when he comes I introduce him to Giselle and her friends. Micheal saw it "wise" to invite George to our course. George will not certainly turn down a meeting with Maxwell Bjor because I'm good for business. I don't like to brag but I'm a wealthy man. After the three of us set out I began asking questions "George, how do you know Gigi" he looked at me warily and said "Ashley is her best friend so I can say I met her from Ashley" Michael was quite lost on why in asking about Gigi but I'll fill him later on it. I ask George again "How is her life like? How would you describe her"Micheal raised his eyebrows but said nothing. George said "She's quite adventurous and stubborn but she has a good heart, which is the most beautiful thing about her" I decided to stop asking questions about Gigi. "George what do you do?" He said "I'm an investment banker" I love that. He's smart and knows how to be tight lipped then. I replied "Crazy work hours that you guys have" He smiled wide and said "I really love that aspect of my job because then nobody is disturbing me and I'm just working".

It's over two hours and we're done playing golf, I jog to where Gigi is and hand over my phone to her "Put your number in here" and as expected she always has a rebuttal for me "Why? You don't trust that I still have your card?" The answer is Yes, I think she has lost it but I said "Not really, I plan on getting my one date that you owe me, I don't deal well with debtors" she smiled and took the phone and put in her digit. I smiled and asked if she has a ride home. I know she does but it's not out of my way to drop her. She said she does and I bid her farewell.

I get home to find June on i********: Live, that's the thing with my wife, she's a lifestyle content Creator and I honestly don't get why she does that. Maybe it's to brag or mount untold pressure on others but she's talking about the new Hermes bag I just got her, showing it off and squealing. I feel a bit of pride as I say "that's my girl, go big or go home" . She ends the live when she sees me and ask what time is the date. I tell her by 7pm and it's just 3pm

Hours go by and it's finally 7pm, I made a reservation at Le Cruset Restaurant. It's a French restaurant, June comes down in a black short dress with fishnet socks, I see the mules she has on and I feel like a caveman. I just want to rip it off her but right now we need to have dinner.

We get into the Mercedes as Stefan drives us to Le Cruset Restaurant, the doorman takes our coat and we guided to our table by the waitress. it feels good to be out with June like this, no kids and all. I live towards her seat and pull out the chair for her and she sits while saying "Thank you". I sit down and the waitress comes around, I ask her to give us give minutes to decide and she bows gently and exit. June picks a Rosè and what is it with women and sweet alcohol? I opt for whisky and for meals I pick the Medium cooked steak, June is watching her weight or so she said because she opts for salad. We eat in absolute silence I decide to ask how the boys are . She said they're still being good and asks me to spend more time with them, I oblige.
