Shouldn't Have Kissed You.

chapter 20

Dedicated to @ser-waa

Chris felt his wife shiver as she called out her dad's name. It came out as surprise or hurt but he didn't care. At that time all he thought about was himself. Him scoring this time and not her and with the way she felt beside him, he was already beginning to win. He never thought that it would be that easy.

When he called the old man in the first place and asked him for dinner, he had other plans. He wanted to humiliate her in front of the old man but it seems he isn't going to break a sweat here. With her shaking beside him, was more than enough. He just knew that he was the one who was going to call the shots the whole night. And that had him smirk.

"Mr. Freeman," he called pushing his wife towards the old man. "Sorry for keeping you waiting, you know women and their dressing."

Of course, he was going to blame her for being late. It wasn't her fault but his. When he went to the music room, he lost track of time and by the time he got ready, Maya was waiting for him in the living room but he wasn't going to let that out.

That was the reason he was there anyway. To make his wife pay. Pay for his mother not talking to him for a whole week and for his best friend being mad at him. And the night was still young if you asked him.

"It's okay," Mr. Freeman said shaking Chris' hand. "I actually thought it was traffic that kept you."

Chris pulled a seat for his wife after she said hey to her dad. She just kept her head held low and her dad didn't even respond to her greetings. He was actually acting like she wasn't around which had him thinking again. He sat down too.

"You've done so much for this county," Chris said looking at the old man. "And one of them is ensuring that there is no traffic like before."

It was true. Mr. Freeman had done so much for the county as the governor. He had build hospital everywhere and made sure that they were advanced ones. Schools were the best with enough materials and staff and every kid could access the school. As for roads, he had build them hence reducing traffic something the previous governors had failed to do.

And for that, he was grateful to him because he could be to somewhere he wanted to be in time. The only thing he hated about the old man was that he forced him to a marriage. A marriage that he never wanted and for that, his blood boils every time he hears his name.

"I appreciate that, son."

Just when Chris was about to speak the waiter came to take their orders.

"Please get us a bottle of champagne," Chris said looking at the waiter whose eyes where on his wife.

She wore a black dress that showed her cleavage and he didn't like the lust he saw on the young boy's eyes. So Chris did what he thought was the best thing at that moment. And that was clearing his throat to get the attention of the waiter.

His hands where in fist when he spoke up, "If you don't get the hell out of here and get what I asked, I'll make sure you get fired."

"Sorry Sir, please excuse me," he said walking away but not before he looked at Maya.

Once the waiter was gone, Chris placed his hand on her hand that was on the thigh and squeezed it. It felt good to hold her hand mostly when she looked up at him with those green eyes that were filled with confusion.

"So, why did you want us to meet for dinner?" Mr. Freeman asked breaking the thoughts that wanted to invent in Chris's mind.

Chris pulled his hand away and looked at the man that he was about to forget he existed for a moment there. Those green eyes had a way of having him want to do thing that he himself was afraid to admit. That's why he didn't look at them but when he saw the way the waiter was eyeing her, he couldn't help himself...
