"Can you sayyyyy... HELLO?" Freddie asked his daughter eagerly. She was so small seating on his chest, she weighed like a feather to him.
"Yello..." Elle cried back. Alice leaned to the side of the door, a grin formed on her face. Freddie could comm...
Freddie was in the car with a guy, he then asked the guy to stop the car a few doors away from Garden Lodge. A quick peck on the lips and Freddie exited the car and walked up to a neighbor's gate, he acted as if he was opening the gate while waving the guy away. As the car slowly disappeared, he casually walked across the street to enter his own home.
As Freddie closed the door, he was greeted by Alice who greeted him with a cold look. Her face was red, her arms folded to her chest. "You alright?" Freddie nervously said to her as he approached her to kiss her cheeks. "I went out for a drink with the boys after the recording session. Why didn't you call?"
Alice licked her lips looking as if she's choosing her words carefully, "Did someone drop you off?"
"Yeah," Freddie replied steadily.
"Yeah. Who?" Alice asked composed never breaking eye contact with him. Her nose red, it was obvious she had just cried. There was no whiff of booze under her breath but she was obviously agitated. The ring Freddie gave her felt suddenly tight on her ring finger
Glancing to her nervously Freddie answered, "One of the sound engineers."
"One of the sound engineers ei?" Alice retorted back defensively. She studied him carefully, "Then why did he drop you across the street?"

"No reason, I just prefer my colleagues to not know where I actually live." Freddie swallowed nervously. He did not think Alice would actually peer at the window while waiting for him that night.
"Really?" Alice nodded cautiously pursing her lips. As they were anticipating for baby number two, she thought Freddie would change his partying ways, more so with Paul Prenter joining the picture recently.
Freddie loosened up a bit. He giggled to ease the tense atmosphere, "Why are we so tense though?"
Alice eyes began to water, his answer did not matter as she knows they are all lies. She licked her lips to prepare herself and asked, "Who was the guy?"
Freddie who was looking down peered slowly to meet Alice's eyes, "Who?"
"The guy who dropped you off," Alice repeated visibly annoyed. She wanted to smack him so bad she had to calm herself with a deep breath.
"The sound engineer---" Freddie could feel her rage rise up; that this was turning into a proper fight.
"You think I'm stupid?!" she cut him off, studying him with a disgusted look.
Freddie swallowed a lump on his throat, his face red. He felt his mouth was open but nothing came out.
"You think I didn't see?" Alice folded her arms.
"He is the sound engineer I swear---"
"How long have you been seeing him?" Alice went straight to the point.
