Love After Marriage

5

I woke up later in the night with two missed calls. It was already late I thought, looking at the time to see it's already 11pm. I thought of if I should call back but decided to text her. What if she has already slept off and I wake her up

Hey so I just woke up now to see your calls. And it's pretty late so I didn't wanna call". I sent it getting up to remove the dress I wore to the dinner. I entered the bathroom bathing quickly with cold water. When I came out I saw that my phone screen is still on. I pick it up to see that a message entered just now. I thought it might be Claire, and I really hope she's the one

I opened the notification to see it's just some random stuff. I sighed drying myself up and wearing a loose singlets and short. I climbed back on my bed remembering what Frank said to me. I didn't wanna cry again. My phone bing again and I thought of ignoring it but decided to check who texted me.

Hey

Hi I replied covering myself with the bed covers

Oh you still awake" it wasn't a question but a statement. But I felt the need to reply.

So how was dinner? I sighed remembering all that happened tonight

Fine I guess better than last time" last time Frank and Zeus faught eachother. I guess I can consider this night better

Okay so any kids? She asked. If it was another person that asked this, I wouldn't have replied. She's someone that makes me want to tell her every part of my life

No

Why you don't want kids? It felt okay for me to tell her but I didn't want to do it over the phone.

I'm feeling kind of sleepy, have a busy day tomorrow I lied knowing I wasn't doing anything tomorrow

CLAIRE: Oh okay sorry

JULIA: No problem. Chat later?

CLAIRE: Sure take care

JULIA: You too Goodnight

CLAIRE: Goodnight

I dropped my phone on the bedside table dropping my head on the pillow. God I sound so put off, I hope she doesn't feel like I avoided telling her, I mean I did cause I didn't want to do it over chatting. I was already feel drowsy already and slept off almost immediately. I guess I didn't lie about feeling sleepy to her.

CLAIRE

I was on the sitting room, just finished watching The good doctors when I decided to go through my phone to see Julia messages. It hasn't been long she dropped it which means he's probably still awake. I opened the message having that same feeling I always have whenever I do something that has to do with her. I replied her message hoping she wouldn't be asleep now. I felt this pang of joy when she replied.

Everything was going smoothly until I decided to ruin everything by asking too much question. I should have noticed earlier but no I didn't and I ended up fucking it up. I sighed getting up from the sofa feeling a little wobbly. I drank only two glasses of wine and I'm already feeling somehow. I took my glass in the kitchen,washing the them. I went up to my room, my husband was already asleep snoring deeply which normally causes me sleepless nights

I knew very well why I married him. Being the only child of a very wealthy family, I was bound to inherit my father's Company. I didn't want to cause my dream was to be a photographer but I couldn't then. The only option I had was to marry Mark and continue my dream while he manages our company and my plan was fine till lately

I tapped him telling him to shift which he did sleepily. I lay beside him giving a gap between us. He turned snuggling into me. I shrugged him off offing the light lamp before getting comfortable

I lay for a while thinking about my growing infastution to one certain black haired woman. I have always been interested in girls, that wasn't new. My parents knew, even my husband. I had dated girls even but it all ended when I was asked to get married inorder to continue my dream.

Right I know what you guys are thinking, I would have rebelled against them or run away but I couldn't, not after my dad got into an accident which almost killed him. I knew if I didn't do something, the company would either close up or be sold out. My dad might have survived the accident but I knew he wouldn't survive all his youth hardworks. I got married  after a month, continued my passion which is being a photographer, my dad got a son in law and also someone who can continue his legacy, my mom got to see her grandchild. I thought I made the right choice, I mean everyone was happy. But now I'm beginning to wonder if I really did cause I can think about these few weeks was Lauren but she was married and I am too so why do I wish to change that. Yawning already tired from thinking, I slept off
