vows we exchanged

Chapter4

Moses's pov

I was eagerly waiting for Jessica on our wedding night when I got a call from the office seeking for my immediate attention tomorrow early in the morning. Damm!! I also applied for leave for a full week so that I can spend sometime with my wife.But also I cannot say no to my boss.

"Okey madam,but you have to not disturb me after this okey? You have to understand the feelings of a newly married man."I said with pleading so that she understands my sitution.

"Just once Moses then I won't bother you. You know right how important this project is for company." she said making me helpless."Okey, I will be there at around 8 done? I asked with a small smile. My boss, Madam Shalini is not only my boss but a friend also.

"Done and by the way congratulations on your wedding and wedding night but don't forget to use protection see you tomorrow." with a laugh she ended the call before I could open my mouth.

She very well knows if I should reach office by 8 and work on the project I have to sacrifice my wedding night for sleep. Hell I planned so much for tonight but I think God has other plans. I wonder what Jessica will feel when I blast the breaking news. Will she think I am a work worm? Leaving the negative thoughts I dialed her number.yes I first gift I gave to my wife is a phone but she is not lifting the call. Maybe the sim has not activated yet.

Without any other choice I dialed her father's number and explained him the situation and he gladly understood it. The next morning I hurriedly went to the office and completed the task. By the time I was done with work it was evening. I hurried to go home. I live in a three bedroom flat. Me and my friend James got the flat in reasonable price. James stays in the fifth floor as I stay in fourth floor. He tried so hard to get the flat beside mine but someone already brought house saying it was his lovers wish. They have not yet settled in the flat as now it is empty.

I hurried my steps as I know Jessica might have come home by now. When I went inside the house and started looking for her. Finally I found her staring at her name which I craved during construction of the apartment.

I couldn't stop my feelings and hugged her from behind and peeked on her cheek. I saw the cheeks redden . I thought she blushed but she turned facing me I could see anger in her face. Before I could ask her the reason I felt my right cheek. She slapped me.

"DON'T DARE TOUCH ME!!"she yelled on top of her lungs. Those words hurt me."Are you okey? What's wrong?" I couldn't help from asking her.

"You, this marriage everything is wrong." she answered as tears rolled down her eyes. " You and my dad left me without any choice. I can't forget him. Please I can't do this.I can't keep someone in heart and pretend to be happy with you. I can't be a sex doll who fulfils your pleasure" she sobbed falling on the floor.

Did she like so low of me? Did she say she can't be mine? That thought brought unknown tears in my eyes. " I -I not only wish for your b-body." with that I couldn't stop my tears so I run out of the house to the terrace. I sobbed for being so selfish, selfish for not talking to her, selfish for not asking her choice face to face. When her father said she agreed I was of a nine cloud to not confirm her feelings.

After what felt like an hour, I felt a hand on my shoulder. Turning my head to see Jessica with red eyes. Lowing her head she said " I am sorry for accusing you, its just that fate was not always in my favour." I didn't know her pain but I wanted to hold her in my arms and reassure her. "Did you love someone else?" I don't know how the words slipped out of my mind. She simply nodded without meeting eyes. "Do you want to talk about it?"she shook her head negatively. And I don't want to press on the topic so I remained quiet. The silence was broken by the grumbling of my stomach. "What is that sound?" she asked all of a sudden meeting my gaze. "um...I..I think I am hungry?" I answered more like questioned. She raised the eyebrow questioning me. And I gave in"Yes, I am a foodie so I can't bear hunger for long thats why my stupid stomach is crying to fill in" I instantly covered my mouth with hands shocked by sudden out blast. I felt ashamed because when I am hungry, my brain doesn't work properly just like motu in motupatlu cartoon. I lowered my head in shame. I heard her chuckle with lightened the tensed mood. "But there is no food as we didn't cook." she said after containing herself. "um...Can ..Can you boil rice I will get the curry from my friend James." I suggested to which she nodded.

We parted ways as she went into the apartment and I rang the door bell of James' apartment. After sometime the door opened by James who was wearing a vest and a sweatpant holding a spoon in one hand. "Why couldn't you wear a shirt?" I couldn't stop asking " My body,my clothes , my choice." was his his cult answer. He doesn't admit that he is to lasy to search for a shirt. " What are you doing here?" He asked in a bored tone. "Would you help me with some curry?"I asked as we like Indian aunties share curries and other things . You know friends with benefits. He eyed me with curious look and made a face of understanding and said yes. He went inside the kitchen and came out with a box of dal. Thanking him I went inside my apartment. Jessica boiled rice and we ate in silence. "You sleep in the bedroom, I will sleep in the guest room" She said after cleaning the dishes. Lack of sleep felt me no choice but to agree. I drifted to sleep with happy face of Jessica.
