Shouldn't Have Kissed You.

chapter 29

Dedicated to @YashikaSinha24

The light from the thin curtains at the window woke Maya up. It took her a few minutes before she could load why she was on the couch. She remembered her talk with Chris and her giving him the seven months to do right by her side.

Maya got up from the couch and looked at the time from her phone. It seven thirty, meaning she was late to go to the hospital. She rushed to the bathroom and took a quick shower before walking out with a towel since she had even forgotten to take her clothes with her. Maya settled on a official suit along with black flat shoes. She run back in the bathroom to dress up since she didn't want to risk Chris walking in and finding her nude or half way dressed.

Thinking of Chris, she hadn't seen him in the room since she walk up. But again, there is no day she ever walk up to find him there. It was his routine and she had gotten used to it. But that helped her think that he was avoiding her before. The morning jogging?

Maya hoped that after that talk everything will be normal. Normal in a way that they wouldn't need to avoid each other each time they're in the same roof. She wanted their marriage to be like the normal ones.

Where one can make a comment about their partner and no hard feelings for each other. Where you can say whatever you wish in which ever way you want to say it. And most of them all, their should be no secret between the two of them. She had none.

Maya had told Chris everything about her life. Everything that he needed to know. He knew about her father's relationship. Her brother whom she hadn't seen since highschool. Her messed up life. All of it and her friends too. He knew about Kyle and he also knows about Leonel. She might have told him in different circumstances before but he knew everything that there was to tell about her life.

Maya moved to take her toothbrush. Her mind was way too far as she did her morning routine. Yes, she knew everything about marriage or she thought she knew because that's what she wanted from her marriage. A faithful husband, a friend to could tell all her problem, a partner in crime, someone that she would be able to call first when there was need to do that. That is what she wanted.

She might have grown up in a single parent environment, but she knew what she wanted in her marriage. And that was everyone's happiness. Maya walked out of the bathroom all dressed up and everything. She took the handbag that she didn't remember bring up stairs and put what she needed to carry.

Maya looked at her watch again and it was quarter passed eight. She was about to open the door when it dawned on her that her car was in the parking lot of the hospital. Yesterday Leonel brought her home and promised to pick her up in the morning.

She dialed his number thing of how she won't have her morning coffee as she listen to it while ringing. Just at the third ring, Leonel answered.

"I just knew you're in love with me."

What was she expecting again? A good morning greetings? That was Leonel. The guy who doesn't let his ego go to waste. She smiled even though she knew he couldn't see her. She didn't want to get started with him. At least not when her patients were waiting for her.

"Very good morning to you too, Leo and my night was great that's why I'm late," she looked away from the door. "Now in case you forgot, can you please pick me up from the mansion?"

"Just take another car Maya, I mean from your husband, he has allot."

"Haha... Very funny. Then what? I'll fill the hospital parking lot with cars?"

She knew he was smirking when he said what he said next.

"Even the hospital needs decoration from time to time."
