A Payment To Live

Silence & Pride

We never had a talk after that night. It was two straight weeks now. Last week he went to check the expansion of his business. This week he attended a seminar. He calls every now and then talking to the twins but never to me. The twins even asked me once why did their father never bother to call me. I only reason again that his busy and he will call at night when their asleep. Of course I lied, I don't want to make them sad.
"Mommy, Daddy said take care of yourself for his coming home soon" Wyzr said while playing with his brush on his hands. I'm trying to teach them how to paint today.

I look at my twins. And asked them "Is Ms. Victoria kind with the both of you?" I said
"She is  Mommy, We like her Cakes but we like your cakes more Mommy" Xymr said lively.

She is kind. She is beautiful. They make a good couple and a business partner. And now their together on that seminar.
The first month I was here. He avoided to eat every food I cook, every invitation activities to be with our two kids. Never bothers to make a conversation with me. Even to look at me. He walks out when I'm around as if I have a deadly disease. I was stop by my thoughts.

"Hello everybody! Grandmamas here!"  Mrs. Evans shouted.
"Grandma!" The twins said in unison and run towards their Grandmother.
"I bought you Pizza! Come on! let's all go down stairs" she said leading us all to the living room.
We're watching Minions when Mrs. Evans held my hand and tell me to walk with her outside. Leaving the children and ask Annie to look over them for awhile.
"How was my Son treating you nowadays? She suddenly ask. I didn't answer for I'm not quite sure if I should tell her.
"You know my Son can sometimes be stubborn. Please have more patient at him" she said facing me.
And so I tell her anyway of our situation lately.
"Then you try to avoid him too. Show him how he treated you. I'm telling you he will approach you in less than a week" she said smiling
"But--" I was cut
"Just give it a try" she said.

He came late at night. I did not sleep at the Masters Bedroom instead I sleep with my children. I didn't bother preparing his Office clothes and never bothered to prepare him breakfast. Even his daily vitamins. I was quite good in this acting for 3 days now and he looks to much frustrated and irritated everytime we look at each other and I was the first one to let go. I hope I can still manage. But it's 3 days now and yet his not approaching me. Could her Mother be correct with this strategy?

Drew POV

I'am so ready to reconcile with her since the day I knew that she's not carrying a child from that guy and there only business partners. I was so ready for it but I waited for more affection from her side. I just wanted to know if what they all say that she loves me but I never seem to see and feel that. And yes shes responding with the same intimate action with all my kisses but lust is so far different with love. But my childhood friend Vicky said I was a Jerk if I let go of her. She said Amanda is inlove with me but I never seem to realize that.
But I can't see it! I can't feel it. She only love the Twins but not me. And this action of avoiding me lately. It is killing me. I miss her cooking, the way he keeps my things in order. Are those action a sign of love or she simply do it for the twins? Well she said it once that we need to do it for our children. Oww men I really don't know now. I really don't know if I should push with this. I don't want to have a one sided love.

Amanda POV
They said Actions Speaks Louder than Words. I guess I need more action to make him mine. I don't know if I'm doing the right thing here but there's only one way to know it and that's to seduce him. If this does not affect him in anyway then it's totally over between us. I'm ready to let go. I will let him have the full custody of our  twins and leave after the 3yr Bday Celebration.

I heard the opening and the closing of our Masters Bedroom. I exhaled hard going out of the Shower with only a towel wrapping my still wet body and hair. My step number one of seduction. This really takes a lot of Courage. I turn the doorknob and take a step out of the Bathroom. "OopsS! Good evening Mr. Evans I didn't know you came in the room early" slowly stepping in the closet and closing the doors behind me. Acting success! First Step Success.
I saw his curious look but changes into desire as he look at me up and down then his Adam apple move suddenly. I heard him taking a shower for I heard the water. Step number two. I'm brushing my long chestnut hair infront of the mirror wearing my wardrobe on me while slightly sliding the cloth showing my one right shoulder. I saw him walk in the room out of the Bathroom with only towel covering his lower body. I was staring at his chest but I have to clear my lustful mind. We look at each other in the Mirror in awhile then suddenly I cleared my throat "The Kids and I starting to conceptualize their upcoming Bday. That's one week from now if you have time maybe you can join us" I said still looking at him while he look at me like sizing me up.
"I'll go check my schedule for this week" he said plain and walks in the closet. I'm not sure if step 2 is a success but I guess the act was right but the conversation is wrong. Step number three bring him Coffee at his Office wearing one of his TShirt. I knock gently opening the Door. "I brought you Coffee I know you'll be working late again. And I'm wearing one of your Shirt, I hope you don't mind for I don't have extra anymore. I will go shopping tomorrow rest assured. Good night" walking out of the room triumphant.
"Weew! That was close. I hope I'm not obvious" I murmur to myself. I saw his face turning red and his eyes full of desire awhile ago. I wanted to laugh for I know his controlling his self too much already since I walk out of the Bathroom. This must have hurt him so much. I'm smiling mischievously.
Now the last step. Sleep with no Blanket showing off your legs and butt a lil' bit. Let's see what he will do this time for cold shower, breathing in and out, and avoiding eye contact is not applicable anymore.
