Love In Relationship

Chapter seven

Vanessa smiled and dropped her cutleries "if I tell you, you won't believe me" she picked her napkin and dabbed at her mouth before looking at Sasha with a smile.

Sasha looked thoughtful for a while before saying "try me."

Vanessa smiled "Michael told me."

Sasha dropped her fork in shock while staring at Vanessa frozen.

Vanessa chuckled at that "he told me and he also told me that you didn't check in with his name but as Sasha White and also your room number, that was why it wasn't hard getting the receptionist to call you."

Rather than recovering from her shock, Sasha sunk deeper in it, after a while she said "he knows."

"Yes" Vanessa nodded "he knows you are here and he also know you went to a club last night. When I brought it up, he said he knew."

Sasha stared at her mother in law in shock "will I ever get away from him? Is it possible for me to go to a place without him knowing?"

Vanessa smiled faintly "I don't think so" she sighed "one day, when he was still fifteen. I had an issue with his father and l left home, I left the country actually believing no one will find me but in the middle of the night, I was awoken by a knock at the door, I was surprised because I didn't tell anyone where I was, I peeked through the peephole and was shocked to see him standing outside, in the cold. I opened the door immediately and ushered him inside, his hands were cold and he was dressed in nothing but little clothing. It was winter then, so I made him sit by the fire and made coffee for him.

When I have gotten his temperature to normal, I asked him how he found me, he said 'no one I want to know their whereabout can hide from me' I was shocked, I mean he was just fifteen and was in school when I had the issue with his father. He had his backpack with him which meant he came directly from school. The next day, he left, I thought he was gone but in the night he returned again, when I asked him why he left when he knew he will still return, he said he went to school.

I mean I couldn't believe he went to school from there, the next day, he did the same. I got worried because of the excess traveling, I told him to go home but he refused, he said I'm his mother and he is going to be anywhere that I am" she smiled "I felt warm that day honestly, I now told him, then if it's like that, why don't he go and tell his dad where I am, he said 'I'm not the one to find his wife for him, if he needs his wife, he should find her himself'" Vanessa laughed softly then.

"We both stayed there for a week, and he attended school and always go home to change his clothes, but not once did he tell his dad that he spends every night with me, I was the one that got worried for his wellbeing and during the weekend I returned home with him, his dad had been shocked when he heard he was with me and wondered how he was able to find me when he didn't" she looked at Sasha "so I guess, he knows what he wants to know."

Sasha sighed as she digested the story "he loves you."

"Yes, and one thing I have come to know of him is that, when he loves someone, he gives his all."

Sasha nodded "yes, I have noticed that too."

Vanessa grabbed her hand "I have a feeling Michael likes you. I mean, if he still went ahead to know where you are, it means he cares."

Sasha bit her lip "or maybe he just wants to know because I'm still his wife" she sighed "I envy the girl he loves."

"Don't, your own love will come to you" Vanessa smiled and she returned the smile. After the meal, Vanessa left, promising to keep in touch. Sasha returned to her room and found out that her friends had left and Janet left her a text message. She read it and fell on the bed, what will she be doing today? She thought back to the story Vanessa told her and wondered how it will feel should there be a knock on her door and when she opens it, she will find him there and he will say to her 'you are my wife, wherever you are is where I will be' she sighed, how sweet will that be but too bad it's just a thought for her.

She sighed and got out her warmer, it will be snowing soon and the whether is already so cold. Christmas was approaching and she found herself wishing that she would reconcile with her husband before it finally arrive, she left her room with her car key, she can't stay at home all day or she will kill herself with thoughts, so she will rather spend the rest of the day at the office.

She got to the underground parking lot and saw a familiar silhouette, she smiled and greeted "hi Craig."

Craig turned and looked at her "hey, how are you?"

"I'm okay" she sighed "the name is Sasha, I guess I wasn't too friendly last night."

"Nope, you were not" he scratched his dirty blonde hair "but you are making up for it now."

Sasha smiled "I guess I am" she bit her lip "okay then, I will see you around" she intend to walk away when he stopped her.

"Are you busy? How about a cup of coffee? The whether is cold and all that after all."

Sasha thought about it and thinks, it's not so bad right? Or is it? After all, she is married but having issues with her husband, that doesn't mean she has to make out with someone else a day after right? "Maybe some other time. I need to get to the office."

"I will hold you to that" Craig smiled and she returned the smile.

"Sure" she dropped and walked to her car, she got in and he waved at her while she was driving out and she waved back.

She got to the office and her friends all looked like hell, she almost laughed out loud when she saw Agatha sleeping in her office. She walked into her own office and sat down, a thought crossed her mind and she sat up, that's true, she can't afford to be living in a hotel for two months, and besides she doesn't even know if Michael will come for her but she will like to think he will and also hope but staying in a hotel for two months is really going to drain her savings.

After thinking about it, she came to a conclusion and searched a magazine lying on her desk, she had seen something like an agent when she was casually flipping through it one time, after about three pages, she saw it and copied out the number. She gave the person a call and was surprised to hear that a house was currently free.

She fixed an appointment with him immediately and left her office almost after to meet with him. She met him in a cafe shop not too far from her office and they both left in her car to see the house. After twenty minutes drive, they arrived at a nice bungalow, it was a two room and a parlour, with kitchen. Sasha fell in love with it almost immediately, it was just like her former resident before she married Michael and it's perfect for her.

They left the house after checking if everything was working, Sasha went with him to his company to do all the necessaries and they told her to come back tomorrow to finalize everything. Sasha left the office in high spirit cause she knows the house was already hers and it was affordable, very very affordable that she was surprised why a house as beautiful as it should be that cheap, she felt it was a steal but whatever, she didn't hold them on gunpoint to give it her, so rather than kill herself with thoughts, she should just enjoy her luck, she thought and walked back to her car.
