WHERE WERE YOU?

ANASTASIA

I rushed to Xavier when he returned from work. He leaned in to kiss me but I backed away.

"Where were you?"

"What? you don't want me to kiss you now?"

"Where were you?"

"At the company"

"With whom?"

"With my employees of course"

I showed him my phone, "Then who is this?"

"Ana, you....where did you get this?...and you're in contact with a unknown person! It could be dangerous!"

"Mr. Evans, care to tell me who this is?"

"Okay...She's my ex, was here to invite us to her wedding, she's coming for dinner today...now can you stop doubting me?"

"And how do you explain her hand on your cheek?"

"She was pissing me intentionally" he was pissed now, from me.

"Ohh...."

"Yeah, ohh..." he stormed away.

I followed him to the dressing room.

"I'm sorry" I hugged him from back.

He turned around.

"Babe, I need you to trust me...even in these matter, I love you, and you only!"

"Yeah..I know...well...this unknown person...can you possibly find out who this is? This person is trying to provoke me"

"Yeah...sure I can"

He kissed me, and I kissed him back, still guilty that I doubted him.

When we went down for dinner, the blonde from the photos was already there.

I and Xavier greeted her.

"Hi, nice to meet you" I said.

And she smiled bitterly.

"So this is your wife, huh?" she asked Xavier.

"Yeah" he said gripping my waist more tightly.

"Anatati....can you take me to the bathroom?"

"It's Anastasia" I said through gritted teeth.

"Yeah...Anastasi"

When we reached out of the sight of our family, she spoke again, "So, you're the bitch, who married MY XAVIER?"

"Your Xavier!?" I laughed.

"Yeah, he mine, and always will be!"

"Aren't you getting married?"

"Hell no, it's just a lame excuse to see him"

And that is when I knew she's here for Xavier.

XAVIER

They were taking too long in the bathroom. I knew Amelia, she's kind of the person who's a badass and bitch. I know she's here to see me. But I won't let her get in way of me and Ana. Because I love Ana and she loves me.

When they returned, Anastasia didn't look too well. Her face was down.

When she came to me, I whispered to her, "What did she say?"

"Nothing"

"I know the kind of person she is, tell me what she said? And don't you fall into her talks, I'm over her years ago. And it's only you in my life"

"I know love, I'll tell you everything later"

"Tell me, promise?" said bossily.

"Yeah, Mr. possessive" she chuckled.

I felt Amelia eyeing us from between her talk with my mom. After we had had enough talk, we went to the dinner table.

I took out the chair beside me for Anastasia, but Amelia hopped in.

"It's been years Xavier, tell me what's up?" and she sat beside me.

I looked at Ana, she smiled at me, nodding and went to sit by Mom. Everyone had noticed what Amelia did.

"Nothing new, just so you know, I don't like anyone besides my wife sitting beside me" I told her calmly but loud.

"Oh...no worries, I can sit here today, right? Anastasi?"

"It's ANASTASIA, okay, don't speak her name if you don't know how to pronounce it"

"Ohh..okay"
