Mrs. Konecki : The Battered Wife

PETER

I smile as I saw what Laura sent me. We're texting earlier, she told me she'll be out with Adele for food shopping and for catching up as well. I left Louie with Wendy, she's the old caretaker of the beach houses, I offered her to live on my house so that Adele won't be suspicious when she came back here. I have to ensure her safety. She's not good at disguising herself, she thinks that without those make-ups and just a sunglass would cover the fact that she is Adele.

Laura sent me pictures of her. She's so perfect, they were on her car and according to my tracker they're on the same mall as two weeks ago. This two loves shopping. I remembered Adele tries to escape one of her shows and went on Target across the venue only with her robe on... she just looks around and spend 250£, she bought things she didn't really need at all, she even got a cat food to think that her pet is a dog...she says she doesn't really know why she pick that. Luckily, papz were too busy waiting for her in the venue, they didn't even think Adele will be our here so we manage to get back without a single photograph taken.

I just followed them with Laura still texting me. I wonder how can she get away with it while she's with Adele. Adele hates it, she's a busy person and she rarely finds time for her friends so she demands their full attention when she's with them.

I received a chain of messages from Laura. What is her problem?

Peter, she's upset.

She asked me where Louie is so I told her you took him.

She asks me where you'll take him thou I know she wants to know where you are...

She's sulking 'cause I told her you're looking for a new mum for Louie.

And also, I think her asshole husband told her to comb her hair because she pulls it on a messy bun.

I look at them, they're on the dairy section. Adele's busy reading the labels of two different brand of milk. I smile, she's really something. Laura smirks at me, I didn't tell her I am here.

Laura, don't tell her alright, I'm just securing her safety. I texted her. She's still smirking at me then I saw Adele smack the back of her head, I can't help myself but laugh.

"Laura, you keep on texting! I told you don't do that when you're with me... it isn't an emergency for sure." She said a bit annoyed.

"Fine, donut come on, Daniel requests biscuits he often got hungry in the middle of the night." Really, Laura? I am here at the racks of biscuits and breads, I immediately walk fast on the other side.

"Which of these biscuits Lau?" Adele asks her. I can smell her fragrance... I miss being around her.

"Hmmm... what do you think taste good babe?" Laura ask her. I continue listening to them while pretending to look over different cookies in front of me. I move a little as I felt someone was beside me.

"Laura, these cookies were amazing. Peter always had this with him." she says as she reached for my favorite cookies. "I often steal some from the car's box." She cackles. I smile while slowly stepping back. Thank God, I forgot to use my body spray or she'll smell me. "I have to steal so when I ask for it, he'll give me more." She continues putting a dozen pack on her cart. Of course I know she's stealing some, I know my stocks but I am just too in love with her to worry about the cookies.

"Really? Peter is a cookie monster then... Right Peter?" I am doomed! Why have I ever trust Laura? She can't keep any secret... I saw Adele lifts her head to look at Laura who happens to hold on to my arms to that I won't escape. Her face turns bright red.
