The Second Wife by Melinda Mulera (pocket ebook reader txt) 📕

"Took you long enough." I heard Hazel laugh somewhere as I jumped off the bus that I had to wait an hour for. I smiled slightly as I fixed my hair to my ear, watching as he made his way to me from my from porch.

"So Avery actually let you out?" He asked and I shrugged my shoulders as I glanced towards the ground, knowing too well I betrayed him. "So what do you want to have for lunch?" He asked as he wrapped his masculine arms around my neck, hugging me to him as he wrapped me into his rich and expensive perfume filling up the bowls of my nostrils. I closed my eyes as I inhaled the lovely scent, knowing too well it smelt heavenly.

"Nothing much." I shrugged my shoulders before he pulled away and cupped my cheeks. "I have nothing to do all day anyway."

"Really!? Then I can call in sick at work and we can spend the entire day together." He said as he leaned down and kissed my lips softly before sighing and leaning back. "I'd love that."

"But I can't let you skip work." I said as I stared up at him. "I won't let you. That's why I couldn't work at your office."

"I see. Valid point." He sighed and smiled as he pinched my cheeks lightly. "Then we can have lunch and when I come back from work, we can see each other all night." He whispered with a wide grin.

"Yeah." I chuckled and reached up to pinch his cheeks too. He smiled and nodded. "Where are we eating?"

"I wanted to cook for you. I even bought some ingredients." He said as he circled his arm around my neck while we walked towards the house.

"Cook for me?" I asked in shock. "What got into you?" I asked as we walked into the house.

"Mmmh. I'm just really happy you chose me, that's all." He chuckled as he let go of my arm while I frowned as he walked over to the counter. He placed down a plastic bag I fitness notice him carry and began to remove the items from the bag.

I felt like I had to tell him.

Even though I felt butterflies for Avery, I had a doubt he would be the right man I had to marry.

But if I told Hazel now, he would get mad and I would end up being alone again.

Did I like Hazel?

I did.

But I wasn't sure if I loved him.

He came into my life so suddenly and changed everything around me within weeks.

How on earth am I to cope with all this?

Even Avery suddenly dropped the romantic bomb on me and I can't think straight.

Why did I even sleep with him?

Were the emotions so erotic they blurred my mind?

WHY ON EARTH DID I DO IT!?

oh no....

Reality has hit me hard....

Avery had demonic charms that could lure women even when they didn't like him.

I hate Avery and I convinced myself I loved him.

Do I even love him!?

I don't think so....

No, I'm confused.

Do I?

He made my heart thud...

Hazel did too.

But with Hazel, it was mixed in with fear.

So what do I really feel?

I'm so confused....

"Are you okay?" I heard Hazel ask and I glanced up at him and smiled.

"I'm okay. Just thinking about Linda. Do you know she is out of the country?" I asked as I walked up to him while he chopped a beef steak into perfect cubes.

"I knew. Didn't she tell you?" He asked as he tossed the beef into some mixture he made. "Aren't you two best friends?"

"I already knew." I nodded with a chuckle. "Just had me thinking, since I haven't seen my mother in ages."

"Where is she?" He asked and I sighed out as I ran a hand through my hair.

"Just a four hour drive." I nodded, convincing myself that I really now missed her. Been eight years since I lat saw her.

"We should go this weekend." He offered a d I glanced up at him. "I could get to see her. You could introduce me as your boyfriend too." He winked at me and I smiled slightly.

"She's going to move you instantly. She's been nagging me about finding a man." I chuckled as he began to fry the mixture, I was still unsure of what he was doing at this point. "By the way. What are you making?"

"Not telling you." He smirked at me as he turned to shield the stove he was frying on. "I want to surprise you."

"While I'm standing right here?" I asked and rolled my eyes with a chuckle. "Okay then. I'll go get a shower while you cook."

"Though I'd love to shower with you..." He sighed out and glared at me before I walked out of the corridor chuckling. "You'll find it ready!"

"Okay!" I said as I walked up the stairs and into the small corridor leading to my room.

A warm bath will do.
