The Secret Life of Mrs. de Silva

Chapter 5- Kidnap

"Kidnap me
   from my reality
   and crushed pieces
   in my soul,
   color me
   outside the lines
   until my shuttered
   heart is whole."

Danielle's POV

The man officially turned mad this morning. I swear some bad spirit has possessed him. Or was it because of my voodoo dolls? Yes, I have them. But I never stick needles on them. Cross my heart. Those are only my collections.

I thought he's already gone to New York this morning. I was excited to start my day. I have plans, lots of them. And that plan does not include him. Never. Nada. Period.

But please someone kill me now because my dear husband has plans of his own. And would you believed it? I'm part of his plan. In fact, I'm the center of it.

Why? Because he's with me right now. At work. In the library. My robot of a husband escorted me at work. And he has no plans whatsoever to leave me in peace.

He's wearing his favorite outfit. You try to guess. Bingo! That's what he's wearing.  A three-piece black suit, which fitted him perfectly, like a second skin. He's wearing a light gray tie, the color of his eyes. I'm sure it's Armani. Who wears Armani suit in a public library? Only my husband.

He's kinda out of place but kinda own the place. He's really comfortable in his own skin. Who wouldn't be? With a face and body like that?

He's getting everybody's attention. Most students especially the girls are giggling while gawking at him. They probably want to research about him rather than their school papers. Even my coworkers are doing the same. In fact, even I, myself got the disease. I can't seem to concentrate all because I'm so bothered with his presence. I can feel his eyes on me sometimes. Or I'm just being delusional? And he tried to kiss me in the car. Or maybe I'm completely out of my mind? Why would he?

I'm arranging the books in the shelves and I tried to take a peek. But damn, he caught me. And he winked. My robot of a husband just winked and smiled at me teasingly! Holy Mary mother of god, if that's not a miracle, please enlighten me what is!

I feel my heart expanded three times it's size and the book slipped out of my grip because of that wink. Or maybe that flirty smile. Either way it made my cheeks feel hot with embarrassment. And I heard the man chuckled with amusement.

See, my embarrassment is his happiness.

I so want to pick up the book and throw it at his handsome face. Thanks god my cellphone rang. And it's the doctor. I smell trouble coming.

I hide myself in a corner before taking the call.

"Hey. I can't make it today." I whispered trying to make as little noise as I can.

"Why not? And why are you whispering?"

"I was taken hostage." I whispered again and I earned a rather amused laugh from the other line. What so amusing?

"And who's the villain?" He whispered back and I can't help myself not to chuckle with that. He's patronizing me and it's somewhat laughable. I thought it's only the racer and the vocalist who have craziness in them. It seems the doctor has a little bit of it as well.

"The robot. He's with me right now."

"Do you want me to kidnap you?" And he's a joker too.

"You're kidnapping who?" I heard someone asked on the other line. I'm sure it's the racer. I thought he's out of the country. It seems the crazy man is back.
