hostage”
Pam: “K, see you tomorrow”
Marc: “How are you?”
Me: “You shouldn’t be texting me”
Marc: “He’s an arrogant prick Alex”
Me: “Goodbye Marc”
Marc: “I miss you, I hate seeing you with him”
Me: “STOP TEXTING ME!”
I waited and nothing. I cleared the messages and turned off the phone again.
After I cleaned up I went downstairs for breakfast. To my surprise Rob had
cleaned up all evidence from last night. That was the thing with Rob, it wasn’t
so much taking control over me but he would take control over everything and
the one thing he hated the most was me being mad at him. So he always did his
best to take care of things before that happened.
I poured myself some cereal and went outside to eat. The sun was shining and it
was going to be another hot one today. It was only 9 am and the sprinklers were
already going in our massive back yard. I hadn’t spent much time there this
year. Rob hired new gardeners and they really knew what they were doing.
Everything was blossoming and the fragrance of the flowers was intoxicating.
The phone rang just then, and it was an unknown number.
“Hello”
“Hey Alex” said Marc
I sighed “what do you want?’
“I miss you”
“I’m hanging up now”
“Don’t do that, just talk to me, I know he’s gone”
“How you could you possibly know that?”
“Because his car is gone”
“Leave, you need to leave” I said getting up and headed toward the front
window. I looked outside and there was no one there.
“My car is hidden at a vacant lot, two houses down from yours, it is well
hidden, you can‘t see it from the road”
“I have no idea when he’s going to be home, and why aren’t you at work? Your
brother is going to fire you” I reprimanded.
“I don’t give a fuck about my brother, stop wasting time and go out for a jog
Alex”
I exhaled “You’re too much” I smiled.
He hung up.
Three minutes later I was out the door with my iPod. Jogging fast towards my
lover.
The lots in my neighborhood were large and far apart from each other. They were
all separated by large oak trees, bushes and flora. I kept going until I found
the empty lot, I looked around and jogged down the long driveway toward the
house that wasn’t built yet. There was heavy bush and gravel everywhere. Suddenly
my hand was grabbed and pulled toward the bush on my right side. His lips were
locked with mine, his hand on the back of my head and the other on my back
holding me close. “I’ve missed you so much” he whispered kissing my neck and
the side of my jaw “I couldn’t go another day without touching you” he said
looking into my eyes. “What you wanna do it right here in the bush?” I asked
mockingly.
“No, I just want to kiss you, be with you, and hold you Alex” he replied.
He knocked the wind out of me.
“Where’s your car?”
“It’s just behind the bush over there”
“Let’s go” I said reaching out for his hand.
When we sat in the car, we continued kissing, deeply and intensely. In a matter
of days we went from naughty unadulterated sex to innocence. It was weird but
it felt good, it felt right and for some reason the guilty feeling I had, was
gone. It excited me to see him, he gave me butterflies when he was near, and my
heart raced when he stared at me.
“I need to go” I said.
“I know, we need to figure something out to be together”
“You know that’s not possible”
“We’ll make it work” he whispered.
“Are you forgetting about Nathan? He’s going to blow the lid on this, Rob is
going to notice money missing, even if it’s from the business, I have to
document it all, his company does my accounting”
As I was talking I thought about the credit card charges.
“Leave him”
“No”
“Alex” he sighed.
“I won’t leave him, contrary to what you may think of him, he does love me and
I love him, yesterday, that wasn’t him, he’s a good man Marc.”
“I would never talk to you like that, I don’t care how bad my day
