A Beautiful Creation

part 42 Here Comes the Other One

She beat Luke from waking up that early morning. Feeling a little sore but she needs to get up to ask for her son's well being. She went into Luke's closet to borrow a shirt big enough for her. She saw a dark blue tshirt on top of everything and picked it up

Christine stopped when she saw Frida's text, asking for a report on whatever happened last night. Frida's very excited she woke up that early for a text?

Does the bee finally sipped those heavily concentrated nectars?

She shook her head smiling and dialled Ms. Candy's number instead of replying Frida. The girl might slept on Jb's bed again last night being exhausted with a long drive. If she replied something about last night, all hell break lose on that girl. All the screams and squealed from that small girl and Jb would wring her neck

"Hi Candy, how's Charlie?", she hushed on her phone as she took it outside the room, careful not waking up Luke. She planned on making him breakfast before he wakes.

"He's still asleep Tin. It seems you enjoyed your date last night, you didn't came home", Candy teased on the other line

"Sorry Candy for waiting for me through the night", Tin shyly said

"No, I didn't wait. I expected it", Candy laughed, "Tin, enjoy the rest of your day. You deserve it. I'll take care of Charlie"

Then she saw his apartment much clearly now. His kitchen is bland, all of it were bland actually. It feels like she's standing at a huge box of grey area and she's not even talking about a brain.

The conversation ended so she searched into the guy's fridge and cupboards. No food? She asked herself. Only beers and wine. She exhaled, it's not like her brother's kitchen that occupied mostly of his aparment but at least it should have been a place where people can live through their mouth

Two arms encircled her waist from her back, "Good morning babe. I'm sorry I don't have food here for now." It was Luke. Already caught whatever she thought

She turned her face to looked at him smiling, "Good morning babe, what are you eating here?"

"None, I eat outside or deliver or asked for Dianne to send me some", Luke replied

"Dianne been here already?"

"Christine, are you jealous?", he asked as reply

She slit her eyes, "Why? Don't I have the right?"

He laughed at her, "Of course you have, but I want to remind you that Dianne is nothing but a very efficient assistant of mine and babe?"

"Babe, by the way, you made my shirt look so much better", Luke shared. She went closer to him to showed him some early dose of love.

Luke offered to get some breakfast from a cafe at the ground floor so that she can get ready for the world

The door opened as early as she expected so she run there in her wet hair. She was surprised by the presence of a woman holding a key

"Who the fucking are you?", the girl asked her. She thought about it for a moment because she knew she saw the girl from somewhere.

"I'm Christine, Luke's….", she swallowed a lump on her throat, "fiancee"

The girl who looks younger than her laughed that almost reverberated in floor ceiling.

"Are you ok? It's not possible. I'm his girlfriend. See this?", she said showing the keys, "I have an extra key. How about you?"

Blonde, check

Svelte body, check

Looking like an actress somewhere, check

It is really Luke's type

She can't believe it, this is happening… Again

The door opened again and in came Luke with coffees on hand and stopped dead track seeing the two pair of eyes looking at him.

"Trixie? What are you doing here?", Luke asked the new girl with a raised voice

"So she's saying the truth?", Christine uttered

The guy looked at her nervously, "Tin, let me explain. It's not what you're thinking"

"Explain it then Luke, why she has an extra key to your apartment?", she glared

"I didn't know you have an extra key Trixie", Luke faced the other blonde

"I'm your girlfriend, of course I have to have an extra key. Took this on your drawer one time. Sweetheart, I want to surprise you. I know you've been angry since I have no time for you these days, I have a lot of commitments", the Trixie girl explained sweetly while trying to hang her arms on Luke's shoulder

Luke removed the girl's arms with his free hands, "Trixie, we don't have any relationship other than meeting on my bed!"

"Oh my God", Tin almost yelled to herself and walked towards the room where she shared lovemaking just last night with Luke. She felt disgust  seeping through her skin as she remembered what happened through those tears in her eyes.

"When will I ever learn?", she asked herself loudly

She took her clutch bag and run as fast as she can towards the door, not looking at the two people still shouting at the living room

Tin was at the main building lobby when Luke finally reached her by hugging her from her back, "Tin let me explain"

She forced herself out of the guy's hug and walk outside of the building as fast as she can. Seeing a cab turning at the road, she flagged it down. She opened the cab door but Luke slammed it close again, preventing her.

"Tin, I need you to trust me please. It's not what you think", he pleaded

"I'm always giving that bullshit of a chance to make it right but we are always going back to square one. What is it now?", she said while still holding the cab's door

"Trixie is just someone I'm always with if I need to…."

"If you need a release? Shit, what kind of man are you?", Tin hissed at him

"Are you taking my cab or what?", the driver asked in irritation

"No!", Luke shouted and pulled Christine out of the curb with his arms. "I refuse to let you go without talking to me Christine"

She exhaled to clear her mind and asked calmy. "What is it now Luke? What's your explanation this time", she asked on a gritted teeth. There's too many people walking already on that street. Most got leash for it's early, a better time to walk their dogs.

And she's tempted to snatch some leash to grip the neck of the guy in front of her

"You're right. I did that. You knew my past and that happened again when I lost you. I know it's wrong of me to do that, but I only have sex with girls who knows my boundaries and make it clear to them that I don't do commitment! But it all change because of you and Charlie. I want this… this feeling of having you around waiting for me with so much caring and love."

"But what? You still had that... that girl on the side as a fall back if we didn't accept you?", Tin asked in angered tone

"No! I forgot about her. I don't know why, ok? Maybe because my thoughts now is always be about you and Charlie. In my office I want the time to fly so fast to come home to have you two. I know it's wrong of me and I'm sorry", Luke pleaded

She shook her head, "I don't know Luke, I don't know if I can trust you anymore. There might be some skeleton in your closet that I'm afraid will surprise me in the future"

He kneeled at her in the middle of the road and hugged her thighs, "Please Tin, forgive me. This is all of me now."

She felt a heat on her thighs and she knew the reason when he looked up to her. In the midst of a people running and walking about he was crying. "Tin, I love you. I promise, this will be the last thing. I'm changed"

She breathe slowly and nodded. Luke stands when he saw that and hugged her. But there's still that feeling of reluctancy in her heart
