The mistress

Chapter 5

Yoselyn's POV

I opened my MACBook for the nth time today but still, no message from her. I turned it off again after checking if she's online but no, she isn't. Alex, what are you doing?

I didn't have the chance to talk to her for weeks and I don't really know what happened or what's her reason for leaving me hanging just like that.

"She's not going to contact you. I told you that everything she did was just a play. She was just bored that time." Noah who saw me checking again my laptop and entered my room then he sat beside me on my bed.

"Did she tell you? Oh, you know her but you didn't tell me." I said in full sarcasm. I even rolled my eyes.

"I didn't but I already know those kinds of techniques. She's going to say any flowery words and blah blah blah when you meet then after that, when you are already away from each other, she'll not bother talk to you again. Some people don't want LDR." He said and lie down on my bed.

"She's not like that. We called each other for--"

"For three days?" Then he laughed. "You topped to the whole class when we're in high school and college but you'll get your hopes high with just a short meeting? You're not so you." He said while tickling me on my side.

I stood up. "I'm not hoping for anything. I just... trusted her because she said that we'll continue our communication after I leave Barcelona." I threw him the pillow and left the room.

"That's what I'm saying. People like her will gain your trust then break it after!" He shouted but I ignored Noah. He's so annoying lately.

I went downstairs and I saw Love watching a Pokemon on the television so I sat beside her and hugged her side.

"Ya, Noah's right. You need to forget that woman. Just think that she's just a stranger who you met in a board exam. You will not see her again because she didn't pass it but you did." She said while eating popcorn. Her eyes are focused on the tv.

"Huh? That's not even enough close to my situation. Isn't it? Or I just don't get it?" I said while still hugging her.

"I said I'm Love, I am weird." She munched her popcorn so I shook my head. Why these people? My god!

"I am very very very lucky to have a sister like you." I stood up. "I'm so blessed!" I said loudly and sighed. No one is helping right now.

"Your sister is!" She thumbs up so I left her. Why they are like this? When will I have a conversation to a person who's not weird and dumb?.

I sat on the dining table and thinking again about Alex. What happened to you now? Is Noah right? That it's just because of boredom?

Yeah, I need to focus on work instead of thinking about her. She's not going to LA anymore and if she did, I don't need to give a damn because I won't see her. I should focus on my restaurant.

Alex's POV

"Damn." I cursed as I massage the temples on each side of my forehead. I've been working in front of my laptop and a lots of paper works. I rested my back on the chair and removed my reading glass. "So much work for the fcking whole week."

"Want a cup of black coffee?"

I averted my eyes on the woman with her silk pink robe and with her hair pony tailed. "I want you to go to your room and never disturb me." I wanted to say that I want her to disappear forever but I know it's too much.

"I'm standing here for an hour, just watching you work. I waited for you to rest so that I can approach you because you look so focused with those papers." She said and walked towards the coffee maker. "Reports?"

"Yeah." I said. I don't want to argue with her because I'm really tired and not in the mood.

"I'll make you sandwiches." She said.

"Don't bother. Make yours instead." I said in a bored tone then wore my reading glass again and got back to those bullshit papers. I love doing works but not in the middle of the night.
Fuck, I need to rest too!

After few minutes, she served me the coffee in a white cup and a clubhouse sandwich on the other side. I didn't thank her because... I just don't like it. Any problem?

"You should rest for a moment." She said as she sat on the other chair in front of me. I'm working here at the kitchen table because I don't want to stay in the bedroom with her. She'll just distract me with her unending stories and her sweet moves.

I ignored her last statement and took a sip of my black coffee. It's hot but I'm used to it. I'm drinking coffee since college because it makes me feel relax. "Shit." I hissed because the smoke of the coffee blurred my reading glass.
The moist covered the frame of my glass.

She quickly walked towards me and carefully grabbed my reading glass then she wiped it with a piece of cotton cloth. I just watched her doing that then she gave it to me after.
"Thanks." I said then went back to work.

"Aren't you sleepy, babe?"

Babe.... I hate it when she calls me that.

"No."

"I am not too. I'm.... wide awake." She really tried to fool me with her words. Even though I'm not looking at her, I know she's sleepy.

I didn't answer and continued my work so I didn't notice the time. 30 minutes passed that fast? I'm wearing my pajamas and a gray sweater but it's still cold. When I lifted my head, I saw her sleeping with her arms as her pillow. She's sleeping peacefully.

I removed my reading glass again and stood up.
I walked towards her and tapped her shoulder.
"Hey." I tried to wake her up but I failed. She's in a deep sleep. "Not again." I shook my head as I gently pulled her body to rest at the back of the chair so I can surely carry her. I put my hand on her back and the other one on the back of her legs then I began to carry her.

I walked slowly and I felt her arms wrapped around my neck. She's still sleeping peacefully.
I entered the bedroom with her on my arms and gently put her down on the bed. I saw that her robe revealed some parts of her white delicate skin so I pulled the comforter to wrapped around her body.

I stopped moving when my eyes scanned her face again. "Why do you keep insisting when I already told you to stop?" I whispered.

I sat down on the bed while looking at her angelic face. "Your love for me just made you stupid. If you just listened to me and not to them, maybe we're still in good terms as best friends now." I wiped a mayonnaise on the side of her lips. "You're still a kid." I whispered and shook my head.

I stood up and let her sleep in peace. It's already 2:30am but I still have lot of works to do.

THE WIFE'S POV

I slowly opened my eyes after I heard the door closed and tears started to fall. I sat down and wiped those tears. I'm used to this. I used to cry whenever she's leaving me behind. I used to cry every night, thinking why all of these happened.
I'm still missing all the times we spent together because we were so happy back then. I'm still dreaming every night with her beautiful smile and laughs.

Is it really my fault that I fell in love with you?

Is it really my fault that I chose you over everything?

Is it really fault to love someone who can't love you back?

I just did what I needed to do. I thought that everything will be fine but no. I did a mistake.

But there's something inside me that still hoping that someday, she will love me back and I'll do everything to make her fall in love with me. I'm her wife, I have every chances to take even if they call me dumb and idiot. Alex will love me back, I'm praying that everyday.
