Love In Relationship

Chapter eight

A young man was sitting in the back seat of a Mercedes Benz, he kept staring at the entrance of the hotel opposite him when his phone rang, he looked at the phone screen and picked the call "speak."

"Good evening Mr Brown, I just want to let you know that it was our office that she contacted" a man spoke from the other side.

"So?"

"I showed her the one we have according to her description..." The man was saying.

Michael interrupted "did she like it?"

"Oh she is in love with it" the man replied.

A sweet smile curved on Michael's lips "are you sure?" He asks in a more gentler tone.

"One hundred percent."

"So, how did you give it to her? The price I mean."

"Oh Sir, it was a steal. I could see it on her face when I told her the price, she looked shocked. Perhaps not expecting a house like that to be so affordable."

"Hope you didn't make it suspicious?"

"No sir I didn't, I told her that that's the price, no discount."

"Good. Forward me your account details, I will transfer to you the remains and again, send me the address, I want to have a look at it. I will meet you there."

"Yes sir, I will do just that. You will see me there in twenty" the man said and Michael hung up. His eyes went to the hotel again and he sighed, a message tone sounded and he opened it to see the address and account details.

He showed the address to Gary "drive" he ordered and Gary started the car and drove off. They arrived at the house twenty five minutes later and a man was already waiting for them. When he saw the car entering the driveway, he rushed to it. Gary came down from the car and retrieved Michael's wheelchair from the trunk, he opened the door for him and helped him sit on it before pushing him to the front door and the man trailing after them.

"I'm telling you Mr Brown, Miss Sasha fell in love with it at first sight..."

"She is a Mrs" Michael corrected.

"Ah yes, yes. How could I forget?" He laughed nervously and walked ahead to open the door. When they got in, Michael raised his eyebrow in appraisal "you see sir? Isn't it befitting for your wife?"

"It's too cheap. She will suspect" Michael frowned.

"Of course not sir, how will she know that you called all the agents in Los Angeles and told them to give a beautiful house to her and at a low price? Even a soothsayer wouldn't know this" the man chuckled.

"His right boss. Mistress will never know you went to such trouble and that you are indirectly buying a house for her" Gary added.

Michael was silent for a while before wheeling himself into a bedroom, he loved the structure of the room and for a second, he pictured himself lying on a bed with her in the room, he shook his head at the thought, she left him, there is no future for them and besides, he doubts if she will come back to him, the only thing he can do is love her from the shadows as he had always been doing, there is no need forcing nature to bring them together, she is gone now and it's for the best, hopefully she will marry again and be happy, he wish her that for he can never have her.

"So what do you think sir? It's okay right?" The man's voice interrupted his thought and he sighed before nodding.

"It's okay but I thought she will be going for something bigger" Michael said.

"Boss, mistress don't know you will be the one paying for the house, so she will go for the one she believes she can afford" Gary told him and he nodded rather sadly.

"You are right" Michael turned to the man "you are handing her the keys tomorrow aren't you?"

"Yes sir, I would have given it to her today but I just want to tell you first and for you to see the house."

"Good" Michael sighed "I'm glad I called earlier, I didn't even know she will be looking for a house so soon" he smiled bitterly, somehow he had hoped she would come back and then his mom had visited today and it's a must that she will come to see her, he looked at Gary "let's go."

They left the house and Michael paid the man for the house, tomorrow, Sasha will pay the little she was told to pay and then sign the documents, the house will then become hers. The man also gave Michael some papers to sign as evidence that he paid more than half the money, Michael handed the document to Gary after and he helped him into the car before they left the house.

When he got home, he took a shower and after that, he wheeled himself to the balcony, his mind was running wild and it was not helping that all he was thinking about was her, the one woman he doesn't want to think about anymore, he sighed and went back into his room, he took out a cigarette and a lighter from his side cabinet and went back to the balcony, he lit a cigarette stick and as he brought it closer to his lips, he remembered her yet again 'you smoke? It's not good for your health. Well, I'm not the only one that knows it's not good for the body, even the manufactures said so, look at that pack you are holding, it's written right there, smokers are liable to die young'.

Michael sighed and tossed the cigarette stick into the ashtray, he buried his face in his palms and heaved another deep sigh. He wheeled himself back into the room and helped himself into the bed and then forced himself to sleep.

Waking up the next day, he was surprised when he looked out the window and saw that everywhere was covered in white foam, it was snowing, the first snow of the year, he watched the snowflakes fall from the sky and without knowing, he watched it far longer than he thought. His life was boring and lonely, well his life has always been boring and lonely only that it seemed to be worse now. He has been staying in this house for more than three years but now it feels so big and empty, like a vacuum with nothing to fill it with.

He knew the reason, although he refused to admit it but he knows that it had became like that from the day she left and he miss her, he miss her a lot. It wouldn't have been that difficult if not for his disability, he sighed and stared at his legs, the last time he went for his checkup, his doctor said he will be able to walk again in four or five months time, it is a hope but he was tired of having to sit in a wheelchair for a full day let to talk of for the four months he had sat on it already, he wants to feel his legs again, he wants to walk again, maybe if he was walking, she wouldn't have left him.
