GOOD WIFE OR BETTER MISTRESS

welcome back home

Nicole sat at the kitchen table and looked up when alexandro entered the room. She had been sleeping when he went to bed the night before and she was still asleep when he got up in the morning.

Nicole said nothing as she poured herself a cup of coffee and glanced at the morning paper sitting on the counter.

"We should probably talk about finances," alexandro said. "With your volunteer unannounced job change, your income level has taken a dramatic drop we should fix that".

"Don't worry about it," Nicole replied, not bothering to look at him.

"We're going to need to up that because you are my wife,you should be using all of my money to spoil yourself" alexandro said.

"I don't need the money honey because I don't go out anymore," she reasoned. "The cars are paid for. My closet is manageable."

"What about your night out with your friends?"

"They have their own money for that," Nicole said. he looked coldly at Nicole. "Don't try to make me feel guilty for having a late meeting."

"I won't"she said softly.

"I'm going to bed," he announced as he headed up the stairs.

Nicole rolled her eyes glancing at the VCR clock. It was only 8:30 in the morning.

She followed her husband up the stairs and she placed her hands on her hips as she stood in the doorway.

"can't you have breakfast with me once alexandro" She asked.

alexandro ignored her as he stepped into the closet and changed in there where she couldn't see him, he didn't want her to see anything suspicious from last night with gabriela.

"why are you so eager to take a shower?" She asked.

"why cant I nicole?" he replied.

"we still having a conversation honey I miss you," she pointed out.

"You know I work hard nicole for us, right now am tired just wanna shower and rest a bit."

"can I join you then and give you a back scrab honey" she said.

alexandro went inside without answering her, she heard the water turned on.

he didn't look at her as he came out of the shower and went straight to the closet, and dressed in his summer pajamas.

"This house is suddenly very large and full of your family members,I wang some me time with you alex"Nicole remarked.

"I'm too tired to argue with you so early in the morning, Nicole," alexandro replied with disinterest as he sat on the bed and turned on the remote.

"Okay, good sleep," Nicole sighed.

He didn't answer so she closed the door and went back downstairs.

She went into the downstairs half bath, opened the curtains and stood in front of the mirror pondering her reflection. She was getting thinner and it felt like life was passing her by. Her eyes looked tired, her face was drawn, and her hair was growing long at the roots . she rubbed her eyes and groaned wondering if she'd ever have a normal relationship with her husband.

She began going through some files for one of the hospitals she voluteer for,and by the time she went to their bedroom alex was fast asleep.

By the time Nicole made it upstairs, alexandro was asleep (or faking that he was asleep). alexandro would slip into bed and he would usually turn his back to her and they wouldn't say much if anything to the other. She was used to the routine and her mostly sleepless nights because her husband refused to have s*x with her had ended. Now she slept with a certain degree of acceptance and sometimes when she awoke, her hands were around her husband.

they both woke up in the middle of the night when they heard a knock on the door.dreadfuly exhausted, both were

unable to move from the bed of

paradise."nicole mother is calling you"he said having his back faced towards her, with the blanket sheet covering her.she said"honey maybe your mom wants you its been long since you ate dinner with the family".

he moved closer to towards his wife and hold her waist softly caressing her back, and said my love.you understand how tired I am right, he placed his lips gently on her neck and kissed it twice with is lips placed on her warm neck.he spoke softly I love you my wife, and she was up, already making her way to her mother in law.

his words never failed.

damn its so late I forgot my dinner date with gabby, we were suppose to meet at hotel so no one can recognise me.

perhaps it was because of her unconditional love for him, perhaps that was the reason she never objected.there were too many perhaps, but strangely so all those perhaps seemed true.it was because she loved him fully.thats why she never objected and demanded anwers, even when she was overly stressed from her seemingly piling work, she never complained.....
