The Trio

Chapter 11

Chapter 11

After James woke up he put on his boxers and went downstairs and cooked a nice breakfast for his wife Victoria, he then plated up and put it on a lap tray with freshly squeezed orange juice and a cup of herbal tea.  He walked up the stairs and into the bedroom and gently woke her up and kissed her on the forehead then she stirred and slowly pulled herself up and sat up.  James then placed the tray of food on her lap and kissed her on the lips and sat with her for a while before cleaning up.

When James went downstairs he cleaned up in the kitchen first and mopped the grease off the floor then he thought to himself that he hasn’t been in his garden for a while so he decided not to go into work today as it was not necessary.  So he put on his gardening trousers and t-shirt and he started to mow the lawn, as he pruned the hedges he started to get a little hot and sweaty so he took his shirt off and had a quick rest and a drink of water then he pulled out a few weeds and watered the plants and flowers.

It wasn’t till about 12pm that James was finishing up in the garden to have a quick shower downstairs before making lunch for his wife and himself.  They both ate in the bedroom which was pasta in pesto sauce with a little of pancetta.

Afterwards James put the tray of empty plates on the floor and started to kiss Victoria passionately on the neck then on her lips.  As James pulled off his boxers the phone rang so he ran down the stairs and answered the phone.

“Hello, James speaking” he said,

“Hi James, how are you doing? It’s Edward” Edward replied,

“Yes I know, I recognise your voice, now why are you calling me, I told you not to call and that I will call when I can” James whispered down the phone,

“yes I know you did, but I was just missing you a lot” said Edward passionately guilty,

“As sweet as that sounds, I really have to go, Victoria is waiting upstairs.  Bye.” Said James then he hung up and ran back upstairs to Victoria.

“Sorry My Love, that was my work colleague asking me some questions about my designs, so I told him I will talk with him tomorrow afternoon as I’m busy at home” James said with a passionate apology.

“Oh that’s ok James, you’re here now and with me” said Victoria hormonally softly.

So as James lay next to Victoria on the bed, he stared into her eyes like he’s staring into the world and whispered in her ear “I will love you forever, through time and space and everything its place, we shall be forever united.  These are my vows to you and no one else”.

As those words sunk into Victoria’s brain and through her blood stream, her eyes had filled with tears then it trickled down her face, so James pulled a tissue out and wiped her tears away and let her relax and fall asleep.

James crept quietly out of the bedroom and went downstairs and went to swim some lengths in the pool for a couple of hours to help him relax and to help focus his mind on other things besides choosing between his loving wife and is carrying his child or his best friend, his on truelove.  After swimming 80 lengths he took stopped on one side of the pool and climbed out sitting on the edge.

When he looked up he started looking around to see what the time was as soon as he saw it was almost 8 o’clock he stood up and dried himself off and started cooking dinner and trying not to make too much noise and disturb his loving wife.

Just then Victoria walked in to the kitchen and sat down at the table watching James in his underwear and slippers cooking dinner and he was oblivious of her sudden appearance into the room till he smelt a familiar smell, so he turned around to plate his chicken chow mein and said “Hello darling, I was going to take these up to you, so you can relax”.

She then replied “Aw James you are so sweet, I almost forgot why I married you, I married you because you are so lovingly caring to me and others and I didn’t want you to do everything for me, you do so much already”.

The other night when James and Victoria had that argument and the last thing James said Victoria had time to think and realised he was right, but she could not stop picturing Edward manipulating James as if it was happening all over again.  She did not want James to see her sad so she kept a happy face as did Jam
