Chapter93: ignoring me

I heard a phone ringing and I groaned annoyed. That must be Alex's phone ringing because I had switched mine off yesterday." Alex..."I called his name my eyes still closed. I called again but I didn't find an answer. I opened my eyes then I looked around. Alex was not in the room but then I heard water splashing in the bathroom. I sighed then I took his phone and I saw it was Andrew. I argued within myself if I should pick or not.

After the internal argument, I picked up the phone."hello."I said first because I wanted to make it known that I'm the one who is on the phone.

"Oooh..heyy Kimberly?"Andrew voice came in the phone.

"Heey. Umm... Alex is in the shower so maybe you can call him later."I said quickly because this conversation will start to sound awkward. He was my patient once and it's always weird seeing him with Alex and I know what he's been through. I know his stories even the most embarassing ones which his friends don't so it's always weird talking to him now.

"Okay."he said and I wanted to hang up when he said."how are you?"

"I'm fine."I replied but my voice was distant.

"Okay it's good."he said then he hung up. I put the phone back and I sighed. I looked at our room and I thought it really needs some cleaning and since today I'm not going to work, I can do the laundry today. Yesterday I only did the downstairs but today I can do the upstairs. Don't blame me please I just love cleanliness.

My eyes opened wide when I remembered that Alex's dad is in today and he may need breakfast. I went to the bathroom and found Alex is already out. I freshened up quickly and went to the closet where I found Alex still in his towel around his waist. He's supposed to be dressed by now. He was sitted on the dressing table holding his chin.

"What's up handsome? Aren't you supposed to be dressed by now?"I asked him walking up to him. I removed his hand from his chin and held his face in my palms. He smiled and he held my hips and kissed my cheeks.

"You look so hot right now."he said and I chuckled. He doesn't answer the questions asked.

"That's not the answer I want."I told him.

"And what you just called me is not what I want you to call me."he said and I frowned. What did I call him? He chuckled when he noticed my frown.

"You just called me handsome."he said and I frowned even more.

"Oh.. but you are handsome. I just called you what you are."I said.

"Ooh yeah. I know I'm handsome but ain't you forgetting I'm something else too.?"he asked and I removed my hands from his cheeks and I sighed.

"My husband?"I told him raising a brow at him.

"Smart ass. Now you can call me handsome and husband." He said and I looked at him defiantly. I'm not calling him husband when he himself have not called me wife. Furthermore, this is his way of escaping the question I asked earlier. He's doing that nowadays. Yesterday he just distracted me and escaped the conversation about the bodyguards but I blame myself for letting myself get distracted. I'm not doing that again.

"Tell me why you aren't dressed first because I'm getting late. I need to go make breakfast."I said and I got away from him and went to look for something to wear. I was still in my towel but that doesn't matter. We are married and it's not the first time us being like this. I looked for his clothes to wear and then I looked at him. He has not moved and if he thinks I'm choosing his clothes I'm not. He's not going to work today, I made that clear today so he should just choose something comfortable. I wore the clothes him still looking at me then I set to get out.

"I need to go the office."he said and I stopped. I knew there was something. I turned around and I folded my hands below my boobs and I looked at him."please don't give me that look. It's an important thing I need to do. I will be back before you know it."he said putting on a pleading face.

"We talked about this. I clearly said there's no work today. I also took a day off so that I can accompany you here. I don't need the day off but you do honey. You need to rest. You have been so busy of late and I need you to take a break."I told him and he chuckled. What's so funny with what I said.

"Baby, I just had my weekend full of fun and relaxation a few days ago, what more rest do I need?"he asked.

"You had a weekend but during that weekend you couldn't keep your hands off your laptop because you were working. Alex please don't exhaust yourself. You need to take care of your health please. Fatigue can lead to different complications in your body."I told him softly and sweetly so that he can take what I'm saying seriously.

"Okay. As soon as I finish what I will be doing I will come home immideately."he said coming to hold me but I walked away. I looked at him and with a sigh I chose his clothes that he will wear to the office.

I got out of the closet without even speaking to Alex. I'm not mad, I just want to pretend I am so that he can take me seriously. He can't start to neglect his health. I know I'm selfish for telling him not to go to work today but I'm thinking about his health first.

I went downstairs and straight to the kitchen. I started making breakfast because Alex would need it before he goes to work even though I'm against it but I can't do anything and his dad is here too so I need to make a great breakfast for a family. I heard some noise in the sitting room and I just assumed it has to be Alex and his dad so I continued to cook.

"Bitch... why are you ignoring me?"Shawn's voice rung in the kitchen and I looked up from the stove and I turned around to look at him. I gestured for him to hush but he just didn't listen." Why would you want me shut up?"he asked his voice still high.

"Shawn please keep your voice down. Alex's dad is here, I don't want him to hear you calling me the b words."I whispered to Shawn who just smirked at me.

"So the man who opened the door is Alex's dad? He looks so much like his dad. But, oops! He just heard me call you a bitch. We are best friends so I can call you how the fuck I want."he said and my mouth hang open.

"What the hell Shawn?"I asked still in a hushed tone.

"Yeah.. and whatever you are cooking is burning."he said chuckling and I shifted my attention to the beacon and I cursed. I quickly turned off the stove and I looked at Shawn. 

"I need to cook in peace. I don't want to hear your anger or whatever drama you want to make right now."I told him and he smiled.

"I'm sure you are ready for Andy's."he said then he left." Add a plus one please in that meal."he shouted leaving the kitchen and I cursed. What type of friends do I have? He's behaving as if this is his house and he's not even respectful to my father in law. Damn, I have a father in law. Woow that just occurred to me now.

I continued cooking and I stopped thinking about Shawn and his crazy attitude. I need to concentrate or I burn the food again and give people burnt food. I was busy cooking when I heard hands on my ass then a kiss on my neck followed. The scent already told me it's Alex. I didn't stop him so I just let him do what he wanted.

"What is Shawn doing here?"he asked.
