A Crush On My Husband

50. A Crush On My Husband

ANASTASIA'S POV :

I reached the empty apartment. Aura offered to sleep at my place but i turned down the offer. Right now, i wanted to be alone. Just alone. I don't want anyone's shoulder to cry on. I wanted the place for myself and Aura happened to understand me so she accepted my decision.

I went to the washroom. I looked at myself in the mirror and i could say that i looked like a dead rat. My face was swollen cause of the crying. My eyelids were puffed up and to top it my hair was such a mess.

I got myself out of my clothes and allowed my hair to fall below my waist and got into the bath tub. I turned on the shower to let the sharp,icy, cold water hit my bare skin. At first i quivered but later i let the chill get me. I stood under the shower for quite some time, thinking if whatever happened was real or if it was just playing in my head. But at some point of time i realised, i wasn't dreaming and the realisation made me weep more.

Nearly after 45 minutes i got out of the bathroom, looking exhausted rather than feeling fresh. I fall on my bed and checked my mobile.

Had a message and a number of missed calls from Drake..

'Pick the calls Ana. Please. It's not what you think. Give me a chance to explain. I never lied to you. '

At this moment, i didn't want to reply as its just going to make it hard for me. I swiped the message to the right, allowing it to disappear. All of a sudden my mobile rings. It was Issa.

"Hey.. "

" Ana?...Is everything alright? You sound like you have been crying.. "

" No.. No I'm not... What's up? "

" Ana you're not fine...Wait. Give me 10 minutes. I'll get back to you. "

Laying on the bed made me think more about Drake and the whole incident. I needed a distraction. And my only distraction is my kitchen. I went in and began to clean the table top. I rearranged the bowls and plates though they were neatly in place. In 15 minutes, i redid the entire kitchen. Just when i felt like it was time to switch on the TV,my doorbell rang. I couldn't help but freak out.

Is that Drake?
Has he left everything to come for me? No he shouldn't cause i wouldn't forgive myself for Leo.

But secretly i did hope for Drake.

The door bell rang for the second time. It made me breathless. I was being suffocated at my own place. Immediately, i ran to the door and opened the door in one go without thinking much.
But the moment i saw the person in front of me... I was so relaxed. I was far more than relaxed. I pulled him in for a huge hug and began to cry hard. I thought i didn't want anyone's shoulder to cry on but the truth is, i wanted and now i have.

"Aniee..." He carried me inside while i was still hugging him. Since he was taller than me, and my feet was off the floor, it was easy for him to take me inside the apartment.

"Shh... Don't cry, Anie. It's making me sad. " he whispered when we were in the corridor.

He tried to look at me but i snuggled back, not wanting to be questioned. He understood and allowed me to hug him for a longer time. He rubbed my back soothing me and whispering
" It's alright. Everything is going to be fine. " His sunshine words comforted me a little.

When i was ready to face him, i broke our hugs.
When he noticed me, his eyes were too big to go unnoticed.

" You look so not-Aniee. Your eyes,.. they are red as hell and your cheeks.., they are swollen...Anie, do you want to talk about it? " He asked me just to make sure if i was ready to. I nodded.
He led me to the hall and brought a glass of water from the kitchen.
