7 7. Living With a Monster

"Christian baby am here!"

I glare at Christian as we both hear a lady's voice by the door. I didn't even think about how she came in but I just went to open the door.

The lady in front of me was a curvy, tall model. She looked like someone Christian would be date. I turned around to see Christian looking guilty.

"Who are you?" The lady asks me smiling. I sigh as I answer, "I am his fiancé." She laughs as she walks past me. She goes over to wrap her hands around Christian's neck.

I walk up to them and push the lady away. "How dare you disrespect me in my own house?" I didn't even know what came over me. I could feel Christian looking at me.

"Your house? You are cute." The lady flips her hair and continues. "I am his girlfriend."

I turn around to look at Christian. He doesn't look in the eye. So his rules were a lie. I don't say anything after that, but just walk out of the room.

As I close the door, I could hear the lady gushing all over Christian. I should have known that he would always remain a player.

I go downstairs to the living room. I didn't want to be around them. I sit down on the couch and watch movies.

After a while, I go upstairs to my room and freshen up. I wear my pajamas and lay on my bed.

Knock Knock!

I hear a knock at my door. Must be Christian. I tell him to come in. Christian was there with a guilty look on his face.

"Can we talk please?" He asks as he shuts the door. I thought for a moment and ask, "We made rules with  each other. How come you broke this one?"

He comes closer and says, "I didn't mean to. She was just a fling I had in the past. I guess she didn't understand."

"Am not your real wife so I shouldn't really care anyways." I say as I sigh. He looks at me and says, "Please don't be upset."

I groan and say, "Christian. I am playing the part of your wife but you have another woman in the house." He nods his head and says, "Okay. I understand. I'll send her back."

He says goodnight and leaves the room. I can see that he feels bad but he isn't a kid. He and I made these rules together.

I fall asleep. I tried my best to not think about the scene that just happened.

The next morning, I wake up and get ready for the day. I clean up my bedroom since today would be the last day I would be staying here.

Am so excited for Italy.

As I get out of my room, I go downstairs to go eat breakfast. When I get downstairs, my heart nearly dropped.

Christian and his model friend were kissing in the living room. I thought he said he was going to let her leave.

I try to hold myself together as I decide to head out of the house. I go inside one of a Christian's cars.

This is practically cheating. I drive off unto the road and decide to drive around. I don't have anywhere to go but I just don't want to be in that house.

When I got back to the mansion during the night time, the lady had already left. I was a little bit relieved. Christian was no where to be found but it was okay.

I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a snack. As I was turning, Christian was standing there with an angry look.

"Where have you been?!" He yells at me. I was taken aback. Did he expect me to stay here while he was kissing someone else?

I try to move away but he blocks me. "Christian am not in the mood. Could you leave me alone?" I ask not meeting his eyes.

"You haven't answered my question! Where have you been?!" He asks me holding unto my shoulders. I haven't seen this side of Christian before.

I am in so much pain. "Christian let go. You are hurting me." I cry out loud. He still didn't budge. "Where did you go?!" He continues to yell.

"No where! I just went out for a drive!" I screamed at him. He lets go off me roughly. He sighs and runs his hands through his hair.

I look at my shoulders which were bruised. All I could think right now is that he is a monster.

He doesn't say anything but just walks out of the kitchen. I sit on floor feeling defeated. What was the need to do that?

I sit on the floor for a while then, get up. I go to the restroom to look at the mirror. The sides of my shoulders were all bruised.

I use a hot towel to press on the wounds. After that, I head into my room to rest. I don't want to Christian's face all.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Knock Knock!

A loud knock wakes me up from my sleep. I get up and go open the door. Christian was there by the door.

He doesn't look at me but looks at my shoulders. I sigh and ask, "What do you want Christian?"

He tries to touch my shoulders but I back up. "Why are you moving away? I am trying to help." He says with a sad look. "I don't need your help you mons..." I was about to finish my sentence but stop.

"You think am a monster huh?" He asks as he comes closer to me. I keep backing up until I hit a wall. "Um...no" I say timidly. He comes close to me and punches the wall behind the wall.

He glares down at me and yells. "That's what you were about to say!" I glare up at him and yell back. "Because you act like one." I try to push him away but he doesn't move.

After a while, he moves away and walks out the room and shuts the door with a loud bang. I turn around to look at the hole that Christian created on the wall.

I sigh as I ask myself, Shat have you gotten yourself into?

I go back on my bed and sit down. Tomorrow am going to Italy. It's the only way am going to be able to get my cooking show.

As I headed down the stairs after a long of sitting in my bedroom, I could see Christian in the living room. He was sitting there drinking.

"How is your hand?" I ask as I get down the last stair. He looks at me. His eyes were red. "It's still bleeding." He says as he looks down at his hand.

I walk over to him and take his other hand and pull him. He is heavy. "Christian please get up." I say and he gets up. I take him to the kitchen sink.

I use cold water to rinse his hand for a while and say, "I never meant to call you a monster. I was upset about what I saw this morning." I dried his hand.

I look up at him to see that he was staring at me. I look away and went to get the first aid kit. I wrapped his arm with a bandage.

"I am sorry." He says looking at me. "For what happened today as a whole." He says as we walked out of the kitchen.

I sigh and say, "Just don't do it again unless I would walk away." He nods his head and gives me a hug.
