Mr. President's Wife

Chapter 15; Wrong timing

(Roxette pov)

Until I was leaning on the headboard and he was kneeling in front of me, my legs were between his knees.

He took the towel I had thrown earlier on the side table and then placed it on my head. He started rubbing my hair with the towel and I had no reaction, I just let him do what he was doing.

He knelt in front of me and dried my hair with a towel. I couldn’t see his face because I bent down as he gently dried my hair.

"You get a headache when you sleep with wet hair.'

What a pleasant voice to hear.

I looked up at him as he removed the towel from my head.

A few strands of wet hair were still scattered on my face.

Why do I feel like this? I felt the heat flow all over my body as I turned to look at him.

His mouth was slightly open as he stared at me so I could almost feel every breath he took.

I hope he doesn’t hear the loud thumps in my chest.

I saw his forehead frown slightly as he stared at me.

His hand started to move, I'm not sure where it will land, in my hair? not maybe on my cheek."

The seconds seemed too slow as I waited for his palm to land.

The loud pounding in my chest makes it difficult for me to breathe.

I could almost feel his hand on the back of my head when suddenly the doorbell rang.

We both looked at the door where the noise was coming from.

"Coz ?! Are you asleep?

I saw Ralf sigh when he heard Irish's voice outside our room. He placed one of his hands behind his head as he stood up and got off the bed.

I got up and fixed my hair then I went to the door and faced Irish.

“Hey W-whats up?

I stuttered as I am currently recovering from breathing.

I saw Irish's face form a smirk.

“Am I bothering you? Did I knock at the wrong time?'

She smirks at the question as if still hesitating.

"Of course Not! Actually I was just going to sleep when you suddenly knocked.

I said, trying to hide my annoyance at her sudden appearance.

"What is it? I frowned because she didn't seem to be satisfied with what I said.

"Nothing, I just want to say that we have to meet at 6 pm at the resto bar.

She replied then glanced at Ralf who was sitting on the side of the bed.

"All right, let's meet later.

"Is that all?

Before she could speak again I proceeded to speak.

"You know what? I'm a little hungry, let's go find a snack? I said, jus to escape the ambience between me and Ralf.

"Again? You just had lunch, do you have a monster in your stomach?

I ignored what she said and got my slippers that were placed down beside the door and pulled her by the arm and I closed the door.

(Ralf pov)

She left me a loud slam on the door.

I let out a deep sigh and started walking around the room.

Am I disgusted? Why?

"God Damn it! '

I exclaimed in great annoyance.

I'm disgusted but why? Is it because what should have happened just now didn't happen?

I rubbed my palm against my face in great annoyance.

My whole body feels tense and it makes me uncomfortable.

I was sweating from the heat inside me so,

I took off the shirt I was wearing to cool me down.

When the tension I was feeling had somewhat subsided, I placed one hand on my waist and the other held my mouth.

I slightly bit my lip as I held it.

I can't forget the lip of her that had just been in front of me earlier.

It was red and definitely soft like cotton and surely sweet as I once tasted.

"What am I thinking? '

"Fu*k!' fix yourself Ralf.

"She's your wife but she's not the woman you want, that's not her.

I whispered to myself, trying to erase in my mind the things that had driven me crazy.

I sat on the side of the bed and dropped my body with full weight.

"I'll just go sleep, it's gone after a nap.

I closed my eyes and forced myself to sleep.

After a few hours…..

I opened my eyes when I felt a numbness in my arm that was placed under me while sleeping on my side. I realized it was already dark when I looked out the veranda. Only grayish blue can be seen on the outside.

I felt so much weight my body was when I got up and sat for a moment on the end of the bed.

I hover my sight once across the room and "She had not returned yet.'

I went to the bathroom and washed to finally wake up my spirit. I also changed clothes, Board shorts and a printed summer polo shirt that I found in the clothes that Roxette prepared for me.

Then I decided to go out not to look for her but to breathe some fresh air while walking by the sea.

I take my time walking and feeling the priceless air slapping my face.

It was dark and there were some bonfires with a group of people.

But they weren’t there so I thought maybe they were at the resto bar.

One of my hands was inside my shorts pocket as I was heading in the resto bar when suddenly there were arms wrapped around mine.

I stopped and looked at who it was.

"Cindy? '

I frowned when I saw her

"What? ' Why do you seem surprised?

We used to be like this, right?

I backed away slightly when his foul breath reached my face.

“Oh you stink!

"Why? Did you hate me for this? That's why you're ignoring me all day. I waited for your call but you didn't call even once!

She says sobbing.

"Cindy, what are you saying? We've already talked about this.

I said as I tried to pull my arm back from her grip.

She looked up at me and spoke in tears.

"I don't want to! I won't break up with you just because you said so!

"I can't afford to lose! Please don't do this to me.'

She exclaimed as her tears flowed.

People passing by began to look at us.

"That's enough! Cindy!

I told her emphatically because I didn't want to get people's attention.

“Please, please come back to me!

She didn’t seem to hear my words and she just kept going.

And what really surprised me was when she suddenly pulled my neck so that I could bend down and she could reach my lips and kiss me in front of many people.

I don’t know what I should feel in these moments. My mind was blank and I was even more embarrassed when I noticed the couple of people around looking at us.

But from which corner of that place my eyes caught Roxette, standing and frowning.

"Why? Is she crying?

In my mind when I saw there seemed to be a series of liquids dripping from her eyes. My heart start beating so fast as she turned her back and run away.
