The Runaway Wife

His lips met hers as they exploring each other's mouth and his hands went inside of her oversized shirt, making her moan a bit, as his exploring her body, and gently guide her head resting the bed, as he hovers on the top of her, she blushed like a teenager when he met his passionate, fiery eyes pierced to his eyes at me, and flashes a smirk on his lips, as he leaned down as his kisses-

"Alisa!" I plugged out my earphone on my ears, somebody throws a pillow at me, and it was Kyla, my roommate, here in my friends' condo, she chuckled, I looked at her, giving her intimidate stare

"Hey! I was calling five times in a row, but you so focus on your book!" Kyla said in defense, she knows when I give that look- I'm irritated. 5 times? I am too busy with my erotica book? Sorry!

"Fine, I'll let that pass one! What is it?" I sighed and asked her

"I am going to the 7/11 downstairs, do you need anything?" She asked. That's it? I want to strangle her! I am on the 'exciting part', I fished out my wallet, and opened it, I bite my lips and hesitate my last money, I gave up, in the end, I handed her my last money.

"A coke, please!" I said, And Coke is your dinner right now, boo! I wanna put something on my brain, a random thought keeps popping randomly.

"Ah. Mismo?" she asked, Miss? Yes, I do... I do miss him.

"What? I heard that! Who's that?" She said, teasing me, I blushed Did she heard me?

I cleared my throat and smiles. "I said what is mismo?" I asked, she is Filipino, working here in America as assistant to some famous local artist here, and I'm learning some Filipino phrases like kamusta and banyo and this girl good at cooking, I commend her to that!

"Oh, sorry!" and gave a small laugh at me "Mismo is like a coke in a bottle, unlike here, in here-in a can." She said, grab her thick jacket, it is December right now, it's cold and freezing outside

"Tell me, if you need anything, okay?" As she rushed out of the door, What I am thinking? Are you dumb, Alisa Grey? You're missing that guy, that stupid guy? Okay, stop thinking about him! Quit it! As I closed my eyes, and I heard the door, shut close. As I can see his face, happy and kind, he held my eyes, and as his eyes change, looking fiesty and angry.

"Leave the outta here!" His voice rumbles, echoing on his house. I opened my eyes, I just shut my eyes, and he was my dream, I grabbed my towel and decided to finish my body, feeling so fresh, but, keeps thinking about my dream earlier.

It was 5 years ago. Time passes, our lives changed, for me - drastically, I went to my closet, cheap-looking, it has boring colors, that suit for old people, that's what the cheapest in the store, that's why I brought it, I scanned my clothes, looking so identical but the difference is the color, my life flopped hard.

I grabbed the mint green and caught my oversized to pair it, it is December right now, so I have to double or triple my jackets or turn on the heater. I went to my bed, put my phone aside, looking at the ceiling, I startled a bit when my phone starts to beep. I smiled when I see the name.

"Hey," I answered his call. "How are you?" I heard him chuckle.

"I am fine, I'm freezing right here in Sentosa!" He said in his British accent. God! I miss his voice! I wish go back here in the States, I really miss his guidance!

"You're Singapore?" I asked, surprisingly, put him on speaker, and starting to change my clothes. I put it on the speaker phone while I am changing.

"Yes, you want to visit in Denver!" he asked, "I can drop by," he added.

"Sure, I'll be waiting," I said, smiling.

"How are you?" He asked, "I can sense you in misery again, what's the problem?"

"Nothing! I should be sleeping right now! I have a job interview tomorrow!" I said, he sighed in relief

"Should I give some mo-" I cut him right off

"No! You don't need to, you know, I have to do this! Okay? Don't worry about me! Okay?" I reassured him

"Okay, if you say so, but if something happens! Call me! I'm one call away!" he said, making me secure.

Thank you isn't enough for him, he's been helping me all these years, my life been a wreck in five years, I forgot to introduce him, he is Harvey Samuel, he owns this condo, he's working as a model and currently based on Singapore.

"Oh-! Shit! Gotta go!" he curses, and immediately hangs up the phone, I checked my phone clock, it been ten minutes, I lay on my bed, staring at my ceiling, my tummy is growled. I am hungry. Where is she why she took to buy some foods for us? I went out of the room, I smelled unfamiliar smell, it was the combination of soy sauce and vinegar, I followed the scent and I saw Kyla in the kitchen, cooking something, as I noticed cute pink ribbon, too, as I watched her to cook.

"What is that?" The smell is kinda good, this is the first I've to smell this food! It has chicken and its color brown, too!

"Hey! That chicken is kinda cooked right now," I said, she shook her head

"Not yet," and pour some water and the soy sauce became the main soup

"What is it called?" I asked, I was always amazed by Kyla's cooking skill, she's gonna be a good wife to his future husband and kids.

"It's called adobo," she said and while stirring it the ingredients inside the pot, smelling so delicious! I am excited to taste it. I'm not a stranger to Filipino cuisine, Kyla is ALWAYS craving Filipino food, weekly she's cooking Filipino food here and I'm not complaining, it is really good! My favorite is: turon and ube halaya

She waits that to simmer and smiled at me

"Hungry?" Kyla asked

"Uhm, I thought you were gonna go the 7/11?" I asked, she hizzed at me and rolled her eyes went I mentioned 7-11

"That's fake 7-11, I am an Asian! I know the real one! For real! Don't come out to me!" She said, and I laughed, which is true, when I am watching Korean mukbanger and I saw their stores, it was good and inviting and convenient, and we got here, it's flopped.

"And I noticed you ordered coke again. You're broke again!" she laughed, and she back to her cooking and I sat at the dining table and waiting for the table in the table.

"Thank you, Kyla! You own me one again!" I said and looked at her, and give a thumbs up, to cheer me up.

"Dinner is ready!" she announced, she turned off the stove and get some gloves and get the pan in the dining and serve our adobo for tonight, I helped her by getting plates and spoon and fork, and give it to Kyla, and put a handful of rice in my plate

"Thanks!" I said, and dip on the soup of adobo in my spoon, It was good, a bit oily, but the combination of sweet and sour complement each other!

Kyla smiled at me. "Eat, there's plenty of adobos there," and I started to eat it and eventually we eat together that night.

---

The next day, 3 p.m

I opened the condo door, and lazily walked inside, and sat on the couch, and I'm still unemploy! I sighed in confusion, my head hurts because of the sun heat I encountered. I closed my eyes for a minute

"Hey!" I heard Kyla's soft voice and opened my eyes again

"Hey..." I greeted, with a weak smile.

"You look pale, are you okay?" Kyla worriedly asked

"I'm still fine," I wish okay! I lied and stared at me

"Do you want water?" I nodded, I feel so thirsty, I need to calm down! She gave a me glass of water, I mouthed thank you, she gave a nod in return.

"By the way? How's your applying? Did you get a job?" she said. "Do you me to refer to my-"

"Kyla, it's okay! Well, still unemployed! They always say we are gonna call you bullshit and stuff." I said in my tired tone

"That's adulting, my pal. Been there, done that!" she patted my head, I smiled

"I know! It's hard!" I whined, pouting, I grabbed my bag "I'll just go to my room, all right?" and walked to my room again, opened the door, I drop my bag on my desk, and flop to my bed.

In 23 years of existence in the world, when I stepped out in the "real world" I know job hunting will be the hardest, but I don't overthink that because I went to a very private school from kindergarten to college, my qualifications are over the top - or I thought so, I am relaxed when the first step out, but, here I am, broke but, still beautiful and that's important, kidding! Of course! You need money, and yes, money can buy happiness! Who says that money can't buy happiness, I will smack his/her face! My monologue about MY real-life experience is cut off with this call. I sighed and answers it.

"Hello?" I answered the call

"Hello, may I speak to Miss Alisa Grey? This is Tara, the Human Resources from TH Company!" she said, I quickly stand up, my hands are shaking again.

"Yes! Speaking!" I said

"Report tomorrow on the company, you're hired!" She said on the other line

"Really? This is not a prank call, right?" I re-assured

She laughed. "No! It's not, please wear something casual, okay? See you tomorrow!" she said, then she hanged up, and I smiled widely and ran outside and tell Kyla what happened

"Bitch! That's a call for a celebration! Let's go to the bar!" Kyla said, pursuing me

"But-" I am gonna say I am no money...yet!

"It's my treat! So, are you up tonight?" she said, I nodded.

"Let's rock that bar down!" I smiled.

Bye young and broke, Alisa Grey,

Hello, corporate Alisa!

---

By 10 p.m that night, we put on our best dresses, Kyla wearing a black tight tube dress that exposed his legs and d pair of blue high heels and she ironed her hair, and I wear my outdated Gucci dress and pair with a Dior bag, and suede boots. Kyla goes first in the club, looking for a seat, my phone is vibrating, somebody is calling, I wished it is Harvey, I have good news to tell him. I checked it was an unknown number. Another company? Omg!

"Hello?" I said, aloud because the music inside is booming.

"Miss me?"

Shivers ran to my spine, familiar fear I thought I forgot is haunting me again, it was his voice, nothing else.

"Fuck you! Go to hell, jerk!" I hang up and I can feel my heart beating so loudly.

No... After all these years of suffering. No more please, I had enough...

My phone beeped again. I drop my jaw at his message.

I'm back.

Who is he?

He's the guy, who broke me, five years ago.

My knees when weak and sat on the ground, the familiar fear that felt before-it's coming back again, my body is shaking and feeling numb and feel my throat went dry the suffocating feeling, the anxiety relives my body again! Please, make it stop! Make it stop! I'm begging! I feel like shouting but I can't utter some words, I want to escape this situation, with the blurry vision of my tears streaming off my face I dialed Harvey's number, it was ringing. Please, pick up... Pick up... I said in silence but cannot be reached, I need help. Someone? Help me!

"Alisa!" I heard Kyla's voice and wipes my tears away and looked at her

"Kyla..." I said in my weakest voice, she looks so worried

"Hey, did something happen? Did someone touch you?" she asked repeatedly. I shook my head, and wiping away my tears and smiled at her. And slowly standing up, and she holds my wrist and tries to smile at her.

"Are you okay? Do you wanna get back in the condo?" she asked. I tapped her shoulder.

"No need, Kyla. I'm-I'm completely fine," I said, assuring her. I don't wanna the night for her, this the night we will have fun, and I will not let that man suckup my excitement tonight!

"Let's go inside?" I said, and Kyla agrees, and we both walked into the bar. The smell of cigarettes and alcohol is all over in the air, and some are making out, getting too drunk and needy. We found our table, it was small round table fits perfectly for 2 or 3 persons we sit on the stool, as the music goes loud and the lights go wild we heard a lot of screaming and... moaning.

"Uhm, one bottle of Tequila, please!" Kyla ordered, I widen my eyes, gently slapping her hands for ordering that.

"What?" She looks at me, "Alisa! We are not teenagers anymore, we don't our parents' to drink this kind of drink, don't think too much." She assured me and after a while, our bottle of Tequila came to our table, she opened it and she fills her cups, and does the same for me as the 'spirit' of the first drink came down to my throat.

I wasn't a stranger to drinking, I do start drinking alcohol when I was 16 my close friends bring a beer using his tumbler and we started to share that drink passing out in our circle, until one of our 'good' classmate, tattle tale to our teacher and we got a 3 weeks suspension after that, good ol' days.

"Hey!" Kyla calling out my attention, quickly divert my attention to hers.

"What do you think, that guy is hot, right?" he secretly points to the man he was talking about: a perfect built for the model, tall must be 6-foot inches, his hair is long, so he did a 'man' bun, I can't deny, he's oozing with sex appeal, I can see why girls are attracted to him - but not to me!

"He is okay," I said bluntly, "I've seen better," I added, and fill up my glasses with a tequila again. Then another guy winked at us, Kyla squeals like a teenager which irritates at one point.

"Girl, chill!" I whispered and I looked at her, I am right, she's not listening to me, one of the guys gestured that Kyla goes to their table, I tried to stop her, but I didn't win. I rolled my eyes and checking Kyla at the other table, laughing, squealing, and drink my glass full of tequila. But, just one gesture of that guy she stormed off to their table and leaving me alone, I tried to stop her in the end - she won. I shook my head, drinking alone at our table and checking Kyla, and drinking few shots. I don't wanna be so drunk, I still have work tomorrow.

Work. I smiled at that thought. For the first time, I feel so productive and feel like an adult. Still, I'm struggling for my everyday life, but this time, I'm stronger... and have more money. I checked my phone, my fingers clicked on the call history, and seeing his number making me so nervous and anxious I sighed heavily

Starting tomorrow, I will relive myself, I will live my life happier with contentment. A waiter stopped at my table and put down a Bloody Mary.

"Uhm, Sir. I haven't ordered anything!" I protested. Who ordered this? Kyla? Bloody mary kinda hefty-

"Somebody gave it to you, Ma'am! Have fun!" the waiter said, nods to me before he exit. It is a red drink but I can smell the alcohol and a note.

I like your smiles.

I get that a lot, nothing new. People I encounter always said to me: "you have nice teeth" or "you have beautiful lips" not to be boastful or what, I'm just stating a fact, and according to them or mine. I started to taste the drink. Woah! This is strong for me! As I said, I'm not a heavy drinker, occasionally or when I am super stressed-I'm drinking. But this is too much for me but isn't it rude to throw away might as well take a sip again, and Kyla came to our table again, pulling the guy and man bun guy.

"Alisa! This is Keith and this is Travis. Boys, my most beautiful friend and roommate, Alisa!" Kyla said, and Keith is Kyla's man for tonight and Travis is the man bun guy. Keith waved at me, and Travis gave a silent treatment, he nods. I smile small, and we began drinking again while Kyla and Keith are lowkey flirting, I just shook my head and silently drinking, and my eyes went stare secretly at Travis, he is more handsome! What a pointed nose! And his lips are red and might I want a kiss that-Wait, what? I wanna slap myself for thinking that thought Are you fangirling to this guy? Really? At your age? Geez!

"What is that?" Is that Travis? And I looked at him, staring at me

"Huh? What?" We both answered our questions with question

"What you saying earlier?" He asked, he sounded so curious.

"Nothing, I'm talking to myself," I answered and looks away. Dumb answer! Dumb answer! You are talking to yourself, he thinks now that you're weird and that!

"Oh, I see, you're an intrapersonal person," he replied, then smiled at me.

I smiled awkwardly. "Y-Yeah..." And take a sip again.

This is gonna one awkward night! And gonna be fun, too!

---

A loud alarm wake me up I set a five-alarm to make sure, I'm not late for my first day of work, the HR texted me again to go to their office to get my ID. I washed my face, and when down to the kitchen to find some breakfast and I forgot bread and mayonnaise and start to eat that and after that, I do a quick shower and goes to my room, put on some light makeup, and do my hair, I ironed my hair on my first day to look my self presentable first impressions lasts I always believe that and went down to the kitchen to make some soup for Kyla, cause she is drunk he had 25 shots of Tequila, 10 shots of beer, and 4 shots of Margarita after that I went to my room and packed my bags, I saw my older designer bags like 2015 collection of D&G. I don't want to flaunt my 'riches' way back, I'm done grooming myself and went out and hails a cab, and on my way to my work.

---

I went to the HR office first and take a picture for my I.D and give some quick learning about the company and its old owners and CEO after two minutes of learning we went to the 24th floor and open the door for me.

"Mil! New trainee, Alisa!" One of the HR said Mil is wearing powder blue long office shirt pair with a black long formal pencil cut skirt, looking her more superior than us.

"Good morning, Ma'am!" I greeted. I hear the door shut and Miss Mil checking me out from head to toe, what is her problem?

"Follow me," she said with an authority, she walked first and I followed her, there's a lot of computers in here. I'm excited kind of job that I'm taking in.

"Here's your work area," she said, she gives a bit dusty work area, the computer looks outdated and broken chair.

"You can clean things up before you start, and welcome here." She said, grinning I smiled but in my mind, I want to strangle her neck! What a bitchy manager! I said in my mind, sighing, gonna find some cleaning materials.

"Hello there!" I turned on my back, she smiling at me sweetly, she's wearing a beautiful light pink dress that complements her short blonde hair and with stilettos.

"Hey!" I greeted them back and I hope she can help me!

"Need any help?" An angel. Yes! She asked and she gave her mini cleaning materials

"Thank you for this!" I wanna hug her, she's so sweet!

"Welcome!" She replied before she exited, and I do some cleaning to my area, after 5 minutes I finished my work, I found a new chair! And opened my computer and starts to work.

---

It is 8 pm, it's too dark outside, I am waiting for a ride home, my phone beeped, and fished out my phone, and smile when I saw the message.

'Sis, where are you? I miss you'

'I got a new work! Just waiting for a ride home, why?'

'Let's meet, please! Pretty sis!'

I smile. How can I say no to this?

'Text me where you at'

Did I mention? I ran away from my family. I came from a wealthy family but things when downhill and some decisions are made, I fed up, I choose to run away for my sake my sanity. But I didn't abandon my little brother! I just can't! My phone beeped again and he texted me the address and hail a cab and tell I am going.

---

The location came to a fancy restaurant my dress code didn't fit the ambiance, I just look a waiter more like a guest than go the front desk.

"Hello, a reservation for Grey's family?" I asked.

"Ma'am. Follow me," the girl at the front desk said and I did follow her, and we went to a room. She opened the door for me, and my body started to numb, I feel I am gonna cry anytime.

"Miss me?"

A shiver went down my spine.

No... This can't happen.

"... Wife,"

"Aren't you happy to see me?" the jerk asked, I want to run away but my knees are weak to do that. After five years - he is here, he is moving closer, my fear and anxiety pushing into their limits, he touches my arm and I pushed him away gather some myself and run away as I do five years ago, while the tears in my eyes are rushing over my cheeks, I quickly hailed a cab before he can follow me, I went inside of the cab and I found myself crying.

Yes, he is my husband

But, I run away from him. I didn't want to marry him, it was my father's choice but I want to impress my father, soon I obey him then we get married. And the nightmares started to happen. I said to the cab driver to stop and I found it in the convenience store, I went inside that store, wiping my tears while I am facing the glass pane then somebody gave me a cup of noodles.

"For you," a guy in the mask said, his voice is really low, it like edited or something, but I didn't complain. The cup noodle looks delicious it has little crab and naruto chips swimming in the soup, is it milky seafood flavor

"Thank you..." I said in my little voice, they always look out for strangers they might do something wrong. But in my case - it was false. Some strangers people are fun to talk to, no judgments, no complaints, they just listen to you till your heart content.

"A pretty girl is crying? What is wrong?" I sighed heavily, sobbing, he gave me his handkerchief

"Thank you, but I have a tissue here." I retorted and he chuckles

"What's bugging you?" he asked, and I heard slurping his noodles

"My life..." I trailed off. "I thought life was rainbow and sunshine, and everyone is in control. But, I was completely wrong, this is real-life: it has full of rejection, bad people, it gives me anxiety, too! And no matter what I do I always ended up losing, and I hate losing. I wish I just am a child again. I'm in my downfall this past five years, yet, the worse is yet to come..." I said, looking down, smiling bitterly I feel bad for myself! I thought I was strong, I wasn't... yet I'm still weak and fragile.

"Uhm. How can I put this..." He started "Based on what you've said: you been gaslight all the time, and your right... This is the real world, this is a cruel world, you have so many predators that disguise as an angel but I know you're strong and have the presence of mind to do a thing, that will make you happy. If you think that running away from the problem is the best for you, I respect it! But sooner or later, you still have to face it, be strong. Always." He said, his words hit me hard, I am the person who always the first to run away with my problems I know that is selfishness but I always thought of myself but the people around me.

"You don't put poison here, right?" I asked in a very playful tone.

"Then, we both died," he said, assuring me, I take a sip of the noodles. I wasn't of seafood ramens but this is one-just perfect to me.

"It's good!" I said, smiling at him, take a few slurping of the noodles, I almost forgot I haven't dinner, I feel so full right now.

"Thanks. I'm glad that you liked it! That is one of my favorite." He finished his noodles and opened his sausage and stand up then pat my head.

"You'll be alright, okay?" Before he disappeared on my eyes and I finished the noodles before going out again and goes to the waiting shed to waits for a taxi. I opened my phone, my little brother apologized to me I sighed

'It's okay.' When I send that, I turned off my phone and hailed a cab, and goes inside the cab, I feel my head feels heavy throbbing in pain I want to bang my head. When we get to the condo I gave him my fare and quickly goes inside the building the condo and when inside the elevator and pressed the 25th floor, I tried to close my eyes to relax my system, and went I hear the elevator opens I stormed out and I stand in front of the door and getting my keys in my bags and push the key inside and I went inside, the condo is pitch black, I try to find the light switch and I pressed the top one - it was open.

I went to the sofa, groaning in pain, and stand up again, walks inside the bathroom to look for some medicine inside the medicine kit in the bathroom. Luckily, I found one gets it and went to the kitchen to grab a glass of water and open the capsule medicine and I drink the water first then follows the capsule

"I think I am okay now," I said to myself and grab my bag and went inside my room and closes the door, I dropped my bag on my coffee table and I went to the bathroom to change my clothes. It was a long day for me, I didn't expect him to shown after 5 years without anything then now? What does he want from me? I changed my clothes and I am wearing a PJ right now. I flopped to my bed, getting ready to sleep I feel my eyes are heavy right now.

'I miss you,' I quickly opened my eyes when I heard his voice on my mind. Shit! Shit! No! You don't miss him! Get a grip of that, will ya? He just wants you and uses you again, and you don't allow that, right? And I just chose to sleep then argue to my intra, but the curiosity kills the cat? I mean, it's been five years. He looks so mature right now, I'm sure he changed - drastically. I wish...

And finally closes my eyes and drifted away from my sleep.

---

Early in the morning, I started my day in the office, ordered a coffee in the cafeteria here and he gave me my change and I got my first coffee here. I feel like an early person and a mature woman. I am not a coffee person, I like tea more but it's more relaxing. But like the smell of new brew coffee in the morning, I went inside of our office and go to my workplace and goes to my-doo lists. We are jam-packed right now and I am still a newbie here, I wanna impress the bosses and managers and finally have recognition for it.

"Hey, beautiful! Good morning!" The girl who helped me greeted me.

"Good morning, too! And what's your name again?" I asked. I haven't got her name before I finished cleaning she was too busy.

"I'm Giselle Rose. But you can call me Gis. And you?" She introduced herself and with a sweet smile plastered on her face.

"Me? I am Alisa Grey." I smiled. We both shake our hands, and I noticed her little bow.

"Cute bow, Gis!" I said and then she chuckles

"Thank you! I haven't this bow for months, thinking I wasn't suited for my style!" she pouted.

"No! Don't think about that, it suits you! You look cute!" I assured her and smiled at me and hold slightly my hands and pulling out quickly cause Miss Mil arrived went in a sour mood around her.

"I have an announcement to make, listen to all of you!" She said with an authority. She staring at us finding who not putting attention to her.

"Good! Mr. Dewbrick announced his retirement to the company," she said, Mr. Dewbrick is currently the CEO of the company, he owned the company for 8 years. The rumors say: he was the game player of the industry and putting high-risk deal and eventually won. But who's taking his job right now?

"I know, I know! Mr. Dewbrick is a great loss to our company but he wants to spend time with our family and living a normal life. The director and us managers and higher manager meet the new CEO, he is quite intimating. Yes is the young and came to a rich family." I rolled my eyes, not another bastard taking a company because he wants to, that bastard wants this company because he wants to have authority over people been there, done that.

Miss Mil goes to his office and my co-worker started to whispering gossip.

"Told you! He's young and I bet he's hot!"

"He's hot, girl! Look at this! See? Such a physique! He can pass to be a model!"

I didn't want to eavesdrop but their voices are a bit loud, and just focus on my to-do list, not minding businesses. So what if he hot? Does that hotness can pay your bills and you're sent to your home? These girls need to chill and holy water! I uttered inside of my mind and focus now on my work.

---

My back is hurting right now. It was 9 pm. Miss Mil has extra errands for us and I don't know if there any taxi around here. Should I text Kyla? I saw a sea of people in the parking lot. Does the company organize a live band? Curiosity kills the cat and eavesdrops on what is happening in the parking lot.

I am a tall person but I couldn't see a thing, and went inside of the front, making my way.

"Excuse me! Passing! Coming thru! Ops!" as I went to the front, leaning to his Ferrari, and his suit and tie and waiting for someone. The fear caught me up again. I was going back and I feel somebody just lifted me. And it was him.

"Noctus..." It feels so weird to calls out his name again after five years. He smiled and he dropped me off on the passenger seat and he went to the driver's seat, without saying anything he drove off the car. I cannot speak, I'm trying to speak, and couldn't utter a word, I'm just staring at him. He looks so mature and aging just wine.

"Wife, you might melt me with your stares." He said focusing on the road. I'm trying to process everything. I take a breath and I think I am relaxed right now.

"Noctus," I called him again. "What the fuck?" I asked.

"What? I can't pick up my wife from work?" He said innocently, chuckling.

"Oh, please! Will, you cut the crap? I'm not buying it! What is your business here?" I asked.

"You," he simply said.

"Why? I already signed up for the divorce paper!" I said, bit shouting.

"But I haven't." I rolled my eyes. "Where you wanna go?" He asked

"To hell. Come and join me?" I said and smirking.

"Baby, you can't go hell, you're an angel."

I rolled my eyes again. "Nice pickup line, Noctus. Anything else?" he stopped the car and his face closer to mine.

"Come home with me..." His voice is needy and pleasing to me.
