Finding My Husband's Heart

Chapter 10: realisations

Seeing him get affected by me was new. Yeah, definitely new. I just continued walking towards him, I smiled, a little at first and then the fluttery feeling in my stomach forced me to grin. He pursed his lips into a thin line and bent down to pick his phone. He looked up at me again and I could say the look was completely opposite to the one he gave a little while ago. His cold stare up and down my body made me look at myself in pity. Why god? Why did I have to look so ugly? I couldn't impress him for more longer than a second. I saw him waiting by the door already. How did he get there? I hurried towards him and he slightly pushed me out and told me to get in the car and I obediently did.

The ride was quick. He made a turn into a parking space, turned off the engine and looked at me. I met his eyes, they broke away from my gaze to give me a fleeting look and he scrunched up his nose in disgust. I couldn't take it anymore so I got out and a second later he did too.

I saw Noel walking towards him in open arms of welcome, friendship and brotherhood and he gracefully accepted it. They broke apart immediately and Noel nodded at me and said, "Hey" and I replied in a sufficient "Hey" as well. He took his chance to run his eyes all over me which made me feel uncomfortable. Jacka**. I noticed that Keith noticed Noel's interest in me and like an instinct he moved closer to me and slipped his arm around my waist. I heard Noel chuckle softly. My head was buzzing. My husband got jealous!!! He felt possessive over me...

Noel turned his back to us to greet some other old friend and as if on cue I felt a stinging pick on my waist. I stifled the cry that almost escaped my lips. I looked into his eyes and they were dark and unforgiving. Yeah, somethings never change for instance my husband. We walked in and I took my seat and he went to stand near his friend as one of the best "men". I could see all of it happen I front of my eyes in a blur, the bride walking down the aisle, the vows, the kiss, the promise and my thoughts swayed to the beautiful future the newly married couple in front of me would have. On those thoughts my eyes shifted to Keith's young face looking happy for his friend. His eyes moved to meet my gaze and I saw nothing in them for my future except darkness and pain...
