She Spits Fire(Completed)

Chapter 9

"Have breakfast with me princess." He whispered smoothly into my ears.
I turned in his arms and looked at him.
"Can you please let go of me?" I said trying to break loose from his tight hug.He sure was way stronger than me. His grip on me made me look very fragile.
"Not until you agree to eat with me." He told me,looking into my eyes.
In as much as I wanted to reject to having breakfast with him, a part of me didn't want to miss how the delicious looking cocoyam porridge would taste, so I gave in.
We walked into the dining room and he pulled a chair for me to sit. It drew to my attention that we've not sat to eat together as a couple. I can't be blamed as a bad wife since I wasn't in support of this union in the first place. We ate in total silence. He sure was a very good cook. I know he knew my favorite local porridge because his mom always made some for me when I visited. I finished everything on my plate and he offered his to me.
"You can have mine" he said stretching his plate to me. Could it be that he was staring? I noticed he hadn't touched his food. Why hasn't he touched his food? Is it because his mistress wasn't able join him for breakfast and that he has lose appetite by having breakfast with me? I felt my heartclench at the thought of the possibility and I bent my head down in sadness. If I had been a better wife, I wouldn't have pushed my husband into the arms of another woman for a month by acting like a child. Now I'm feeling what my friends had warned me about all this while. I don't know what I'm feeling but I just don't know how I'll be able to take it if I see Lexis with another woman. Suddenly, I'd lost appetite to eat more.
"I'm full thanks" I muttered in a low voice, I could bearly hear myself.
"Hey why that face?" He asked concerned
"Nothing I'll just tidy the table and wash the plates." I stood up getting the plates.
"No no need for that dear, I'll do it" He said stopping me. Why didn't I realize how gentil he is since childhood?

"No, that's just my way of saying thank you for the food" I told him
"Natalie, you're my wife so there's no need to thank me for this" He said sincerely.
"I'm your wife but there's no love that binds us. Our marriage is strictly by paper and family orders" I told him and walked to the kitchen to put the plates in the sink. He still sat at where I'd left him when I returned back to to dining room.
"You're right, there's nothing that binds us but a piece of shit called paper." He said in a deep angry voice and stormed out of the dining room and headed towards the direction of his office. I felt a sudden throb of disappointment because for the first time, I  didn't hear him say those words he kept assuring me of every time, after I tell him our wedding means nothing me and that it was a piece of paper. The Lexis I married has changed. He didn't even repeat his favorite line, "Natalie, I know you don't love me but I love you and I'll make you love me too no matter how long it takes." I hated it whenever he repeated his clichéd lines but now I really wanted to hear it. Whoever that woman is, she must be very lucky. I now see why I was called lucky girl way back in school.
I went to the room Lexis and I share after tidying up both the kitchen and dining room. Just as I stepped into the bedroom room, the door bell rung and I hurried downstairs. Knowing well that Lexis was in a bad mood to open doors.....
I opened the door and was greeted by two crochety  ladies. The ones I call best friends
"Hey?" I greeted cheerily knowing I've sold myself into trouble.
"The last time I checked, I'm not on hey terms with you." Celia said with her hands folds on her chest. I gave a slight chuckle and ignored her.
"How are you my dashing Arisca?" I tried my magic on Arisca.
"Girl, all your charms on me have lose it's powers. Excuse me." She said and pushed me to walk inside. She sniffed the air like a wolf and Celia did same. They exchange suspicious looks and turned to me.
"What's that masculine scent I'm smelling" Celia asked double annoyed.
"Which masculine scent?" I asked lost.
"Don't play dumb with me...us,Natalie." Arisca said in fury.
"Natalie," Celia began. "I love you so much but I'm beginning to lose my love and respect for you. When will you begin to accept the fact that you have a handsome husband who is well developed and will travel lengths to make you happy? How could you bring another guy into your matrimonial home when you sacked your man from your house by acting like brat?"
"To think of the fact that it was because of him that she didn't call us when she got home yesterday gets me sick." Arisca added.
Now, I understood them but they were ranting way too much.
"Enough of the nagging!!!" I shouted frustratedly and there was silence.
"First of all I apologize for not calling you girls when I got home but that was because I had other engagements which made me forget everything"
"Yeah yeah, the hard banging of your toy boy" Arisca said and rolled her eyes at me but I gave her a shrug and continued...
"But if you think you can come to my home and talk to me anyhow, that's where you're mistaking. The toy boy you said was banging me, is my husband and he's in his library and he's also the owner of the masculine scent." They both exchanged surprised looks as I broke the news to them. "As for having a loving husband, I think that's history now and it's heartbreaking that there's no one on my side because I'm to be blamed for all my misfortune." I broke into tears. All the tears I'd held from my disappointments and observations ran down my cheeks. They both ran to my side and led me to to sit on the couch.
"Ok we both know the pictures incident was wrong but what misfortune are you talking about?" Celia asked straightening my pony tail.
"He has a mistress" I told them frantically.
"Who are you talking about?" Arisca asked troubled. I guess it was because my crying got intense. One thing she hated most was to see me cry.
"It...it's Lexis he was with his mis..t... mistress all this while."
I managed to spill my imagination between sobs.
"What!!!!" Celia said and stood up. "Where the fuck is he?" She asked but as if she had been possessed, she sat down abruptly.
"What am I even angry for? I don't blame him for having a mistress. No one is to be blamed but you,Natalie Miltmore." She pointed her under finger at me accusingly.
"Natalie you don't, even deserve his surname and that's the blant truth. You've been married to this man for almost four months now and you've denied him your body, your pussy. Putting love aside, the other reason for a man to take a bold step such as getting married is sex and comfort but you've failed to give him all these three vital things. Even in the middle of the cold nights. Lexis has suffered enough and if he was my brother, you would have been my worst enemy. Do you know the number of women out there to to have the kindness Lexis Miltmore to sweep them of their feet? No you wouldn't know, because your heart is frozen. You have a heart of a dead body, you feel nothing" Arisca added her plain thoughts and my sobs turned to hard cry. I put my face in my palm and the tears were my palm. Whatever Lexis was doing inside his library, it must be serious for he not hearing our voices and my cries.

"Seriously Natalie, I don't know why you're here crying. You've made us understand on several occasions that you don't love him and you can never love him as a matter of fact so I suggest you leave him. File for a divorce so you both can live your separate lives in peace!" Celia spoke this time around but her annoyance was evident in her voice.
