Christmas' Misery

Chapter sixteen

[Christmas]

Ring! Ring!

“Hello, Duke,” I started as I answered his call. He might be on his way home now.

“How is my Baby, hmm?” he asked.

“I'm fine. Are you on your way now?”

“I'm still here in the factory. I'm going to wait first the new machines before I go home,” he explained.

“So, you won't make here in our dinner?” I asked, looking at the food I cooked in the dining table.

“I'm going to have dinner with you. I'm just waiting for the machines then I will go home right away. Don't be sad there okay?”

“I'm not sad,” I replied.

“But you sounded.”

“I'm just tired that's it,” I lied but I'm not really sad. There is just something running on my head.

“Did you go to the grocery with our neighbor?” His voice is always in a calm like he doesn't have any problem.

“Yea, I already bought our food that is good for two weeks.”

“Hmm, okay. I think you should take a rest for now. I will call you again later if I'm already on my way there. I'm just checking you that's why I called.”

“Okay, you take care there.” I already ended the call before he could talk. I heaved a deep sigh and leaned at the headboard of the couch I am sitting in now.

It's 7:30 in the evening now and I'm already done cooking our dinner. I cooked veggies today because we just ate meat yesterday and tomorrow we are going to have meat again then in the next day veggies again. That is how the cycle of our food everyday. I just covered our food in the dining table because I am resting here in the couch. It seems the whole thing about the grocery drained all my energy but is it really the grocery?

I started massaging my both temple to ease the pain of my head. My mind now are filled of thoughts and it seems like I'm going to explode anytime. I am now hearing the cry of a baby again and even I never heard her cry, I know it was her making me feel guilty for being a neglectful woman. This is wasn't what I am imagining that is going to happen. This is all my fault.

Ring! Ring!

“Hmm.” I slowly opened my eyes when my phone ring at the top of the coffee table in front me. I fell asleep here in the couch and my back was slightly in pain because I am only sitting here. “Hello.” I started as I answered the call.

“Baby I am now on my way,” Duke answered in the other line.

I looked at the clock and it is already 8:30 in the evening and he needs to travel two hours before he gets home. “Okay, take care.”

“See you later. I love you,” he said in the other line and ended the call.

I placed back my phone at the coffee table and stood up to check our food. It must be already cold by now. I will just cook it again in the oven so that once Duke arrive, the foods are hot again.

It was 10:00 when I heard the horn of his car outside that's why I immediately goes out the house to meet him. I opened the door of our garage and guide him entering the car inside. I waited him to get out of his car and give him a hug as he goes out.

“Woah! It seems my baby miss me, huh?” Duke said as he hug me back.

“I am always,” I replied and start walking inside the house with him, “Are you hungry?”

“Yea, what did my wife cook, hmm?” he asked while holding my hand.

“I made you your favorite, vegetable pasta,” I answered and helped him in taking off his coat. I placed it in the couch and faced at him back.

He gave me a smile. “I can't wait to eat you cooked.”

“But before that, you should change first upstairs,” I said.

Duke pouted, taking off his necktie. “Can we eat first before I change?”

“Hmm.” I placed my hand on my chin, acting that I am thinking. “No, you change first upstairs.” I chuckled.

“Okay the go with me upstairs.” Before I could speak, Duke held my hand and bring me upstair.

“Duke, I'm going to prepare the table,” I said but he just laughed at me.

Duke didn't reply on me and as we reached in our room, he pinned me on the wall and start kissing me. “I miss you.” He said between our kisses, holding my both wrists at my both sides.

“I miss you too,” I replied, responding on his flammable kisses, “But Duke let's eat first before we continue this.”

“No, let's continue this first.” He bit my lower lip and his lips are going down to my neck.

I didn't do anything and let him to continue what he is doing. I can't help it anyway. He already aroused me and my whole nerves already enjoying this moment. Duke starts undressing me and so am I to him. As we get both naked, he brought me on the bed and goes to my top. I opened my legs widely to meet his huge c**k and I closed my eyes as I feel the head of him, trying to enter me.

“I really love entering you,” he moaned and start thrusting it in and out at my p***y.

I grasped my hand tightly on the bed sheet, moaning crazily while I am looking at him. My hips are moving, joining every thrust he is making. Duke came close to me and started sucking my boobs while he still keeps on thrusting.

“Duke, faster. You already make me c*m! Ahh! Ahh!” I said between my moan and I don't where I should tilted my head in so much pleasure.

“Wait for me, Baby. Let's c*m together.” Duke made his thrust deeper that almost reached at my end point inside.

The room filled our moans and the bed is almost creaking in our movements. As we got to our climax, Duke fell on my top, catching his breath and so am I. His face was on my boobs and his c**k is still inside my p***y. I can feel his c*m meeting mine inside.

“I love you,” he whispered, rubbing his face on my boobs.

I chuckled. “I love you too.” I replied.

After a minutes of resting in our bed, I goes back in the kitchen and left Duke changing in our room. I am now preparing the table for our late dinner and I filled our glass with milk so we can easily get to sleep. We used to drink milk whenever it's dinner.

“So, how was your day at the company and in the factory?” I asked in the middle of eating our food.

“It's just the same as yesterday and the other yesterday, Baby,” he answered.

I nodded. “By the way, recently at the grocery.” I paused.

He looked at me. “What? Did something happened to you there?”

“Ahm, yea?” I answered in question. “I met your ex-fiancee, Lysias.”

“What?!” He dropped his utensils. “What did she do to you? Did she hurt you? Tell me.”

I shook my head quickly. “No, she isn't. We just have quick talk then she left that quick as well.”

His forehead knotted. “What did she tell you? What did you talked to?”

Flashback...

My forehead knotted. “How did you know my name?”

She smirked. “How I wouldn't know? You are my ex-fiancee's wife.”

I was surprised on what she answered. “You-you are Lysias?” I confirmed to make sure if it's really her.

She rolled her eyes. “It's La-yi-sa not Lay-si-yas. You pronounce it wrong!”

“But that's what Duke pronounced it.”

“Tsk. He used to be like that but it's La-yi-sa.” She flipped her hair. “Anyway, how does being a wife to Duke, hmm? I bet you and him already had a child by now?”

“We-we don't have a child yet,” I answered in the lower of my voice.

“Hahaha! Yet? As far as I remembered your child die. How was it?”

I stunned on what she just said. She is really impossible. “How did you know that? We never tell it to anyone.”

Lysias walk closer to me together with her cart. “I know everything, Christmas. Even the darkest side of Duke that you didn't know, I knew. He wasn't the way you think he is.” She whispered that made my forehead in knotted.

“What are you talking about?” I asked as her words confused me.

She arched her brow as she grinned on me. “You are interested, huh? Why? Are you now doubting, Duke?”

“What?! I'm not doubting him!” I didn't stop myself in shouting her. We are still here in the middle of can goods section and my voice caught the attention of the people around us. “You are playing my head!” I yelled silently.

She laughed. “Why would I do that, huh? It's because I'm the ex-fiancee who met his wife, hmm? Is that what you were thinking, Christmas?”

“What do you want?” I asked instead of answering her question.

Lysias shrugged her shoulder. “I just want to help you that's it.” She said that made my forehead more knotted. “If you are deadly curious about what I'm saying, I'm always free to have little chitchat with you.” She took a card inside her back and give it to me. “That is where I am living and you can go there anytime.” She added. “Bye, Christmas. See you soon.”

I blinked my eyes as Lysias passed me but she left her cart with me. Don't tell me she isn't really here to buy? She is here because of me?

End of flashback...

“Baby?”

“Huh? What?” I asked as I got back on my senses.

“I am asking you what did she told you?” he repeated his question.

“Lysias told me to say her a hello to you,” I lied and I know this is wrong but I want to know what she is talking about recently. I can sense that there is something that I need to know.

“Is that it?” He arched his brow.

“She also thought that we already had a baby and she knew that our child died.” I smiled bitterly and continued eating my food in my plate. “I am wondering how did she knew? It was only you, me and your mom knows about it.”

He hissed. “It must be mom the one who told her. That two are so much close and I know they are still seeing each other.” He shook his head.

I faked a laugh. “They are that close, huh? I hope we are also but it's impossible because your mom doesn't like me in the first place. It was always Lysias that she wants for you.”

Duke suddenly stopped eating and placed down his utensils. “Baby, don't say that. If mom doesn't like you then let her be. The important is we are here together and no one can set us apart even my mom.”

“But my relationship to your mom is important to me, Duke. I want to be close to her but I don't know what will she going to like in me. She hates everything about me especially knowing that you just married a laundry girl.”

Duke heaved a sigh. “I'm sorry if you aren't close to my mom but don't worry I will help you to get close to her.” He assured.

A smile formed in me. “Really? You are going to help me?”

“Of course, Baby I will help. It's between you and my mom and you are both important to me. That's why I want to see you with her in good terms.” He took my hand and squeezed it. “It is suck to see that she is acting that you are just a stranger.”

“Your mom doesn't like your wife that's why she is like that to me,” I said and heaved a sigh.

“I know and will help you on that.”
