DRUG

Chapter ~2A

Love is a drug. You want more and demand stronger. You become an abuser and if it isn't at your reception,you take it forcefully.

The clock arm was pointing roughly at the 7th hour,PM that is. Chris wasn't home yet, a typical scene. He wouldn't be home for the next hour or so. Ever since his promotion as the Pharmacist manager at Medi-Clinic, he's been having late knock offs with the excuse of trying to maintain his promotion. It's quite frustrating as he has no time for me. He draws distant by the day.

Either way, I made dinner to pass time. Pork fillet with chicken liver. Cooking had become a hobby. Something I actually looked forward to doing in our home.

I remembered that I hadn't touched my phone since morning,I probably had texts from work colleagues about my sudden disappearance from work. After browsing around the living room,which is practically attached to the kitchen and dining area,a very open and minimal apartment we have, I spotted it on the counter. Memories of how it got there started to flood back. I had my blouse already half unbuttoned by the time I carelessly threw it there.

Chris? Dammit Natalie! She just had to involve him.

My text back to her:

Relax bum! I had the day off. I had a stomach bug. Did you have to involve Chris though?

"Baby?"

"Dani,get up."

His smile widened the moment my eyes dilated fully,though they contracted a little because of the bright light in the living room. I had fallen asleep there.
