Keeping Each Other

FIVE

Guys, I'm so happy. My other book which is also my first Wattpad story(Finally found love!) just got up to 2k reads.

DAMIEN'S POV

"Welcome" Juliet said when she opened the front door for me and turned to start walking away. It's unlike her to welcome me this way, she wasn't even smiling, she looked dull like she isn't feeling well or something.

"Hey dear" I pecked her on her cheeks. "You okay?"

"Not really. I'm just not feeling my self."

"You stress your self too much. I'll advice you go for check up."

"I'm fine really. I just need rest." she sat down next to Jason and Jasmine with their books spread out, probably helping them with their assignments.

"Okay, if you say so. Is my food ready?"

"Yes, it's served on the dinning. Go freshen up and come eat."

"Thanks dear. You're the best." I pecked her again but she didn't respond with a smile or anything like she normally does.

By the time I was done with dinner, she was done with helping the kids with their assignments so I went inside the room to relax while she took them to their room and bathe them.

"Daddy J" she called the moment she walked into the room.

"Just call me daddy" I told her with a smirk and a winked, raising my brows in a flirtatious manner.

She didn't even smile or call me a spoilt brat or tease me, she just shrugged it off and continued;

"I'm tired, just help me spend time with the kids before they fall asleep."

What's bothering her?

"You don't have to say help. They are my kids too and I'll gladly spend time with them."

I stood up and walked over to where she was standing, held her hands, looked into her eyes and said;

"I'm your husband, I'm supposed to share in your burden. You keep saying everything is fine but from mere looking at you, I know you're bothered. I won't force you to spill anything, I just want you to know that I'm always here, to listen. Like I've always done." With that, I walked out of the room to spend time with my kids and make sure they fall asleep before leaving them just like Juliet always does.

When I went back to the room, she was already fast asleep or maybe pretending to be asleep, I know my wife too well, there's something bothering her.

I laid on the bed covered myself with the blanket and slept.

*********

It was exactly 5:05am when the knock on the door woke me up. It's either Jason or Jasmine. That's their normal routine when they wake up before their mom and I.

Juliet was still fast asleep so I decided not to wake her up considering how she was before she slept last night.

I stood up and opened the door, we said a short prayer and I took them to their room and bathe them, afterwards prepared bread and tea for them as breakfast and quickly prepared fried indomie for them to take to school for lunch.

Yea, I know. I'm a good cook.

Reasons why Juliet fell for me. *Winks*

They were still eating when I finished with the indomie. I decided to take my bath before wearing them their uniforms.

Juliet was still asleep and I had no intentions of waking her up. After taking my bath, I realized that she was no longer in the room.

I found her in the children's room, helping them wear their uniforms.

"Jasmine baby" she called our four years old daughter

"Yes mommy" Jasmine replied.

"Be a good girl okay."

"yes mommy"

"And you Jason, I don't want to hear any negative reports from your teachers okay. Be a good boy and take care of your baby sister."

"Yes mom."

She turned and saw me standing by the door already dressed.

"hey, good morning."

"Morning dear, how was your night?"

"It was fine. So sorry I didn't wake up early."

"It's okay. Body nor be fire wood, sometimes you need rest."

"Thanks." she replied.

She walked the children to the car and waved them goodbye before I drove out of the compound.

JULIET'S POV.

After they had left, I felt lonely as usual. I have to start cleaning the house and all the mess they had made before they left.

I had almost finished with the work when a text message came in.

Aunty Juliet, how is your body now?
Hope you've rested enough?
I'm so sorry about yesterday.
If the headache still persist,
Please visit the clinic.
Juliana.

Yesterday, after Damien had lied to me on the phone, I became so upset not coming to terms with the fact that someone I've been faithful to for the past ten years, dated for three years and married to for seven years is cheating on me.

When Juliana finally came around, I got angry at every little thing she did or snap at anything that happened around me.

Juliana is my sister and she has known me for as long as she can remember, she knows me to be a woman of little patience so she eventually concluded that the reason I was being paranoid is because of the fact that she kept me waiting. She decided that I go back home to rest and we would shop for the jewelries another day when I'm feeling better. She also promised not to keep me waiting.

I drove to the children's school, picked them then drove Juliana to her house before going home.

I feel bad because she thinks she's the cause of my paranoid state when she isn't. She had called to apologize yesterday already and now she's texting again. I guess I'll just reply her to let her know that I'm fine and that she should stop worrying.

On the other hand, Damien was trying to be a supportive and caring husband in front of me yesterday meanwhile he's a cheat in my back.

I'm really confused.

So even if Damien wanted to cheat on me, it's Mercy? Mercy his secretary?

What does she have that I don't have??

She's a working class lady and you're a full time house wife.. A voice in my head answered.

"Working class lady my foot. She is my husband's employee". I said out loud.

She spends majority of her time during the day with your husband, he's bound to get attracted. The voice spoke again.

"And so, she wears glasses." I replied.

Glasses makes her look hot. The voice answered again.

I'm going crazy. I'm having a conversation with my head. If anyone hears me now, they'll think I'm going gaga.

This has to stop. I'll talk to Damien about it when he comes back.

What do you guys think??
