ALWAYS AND FOREVER

Kathy POV

I said and headed up into the room Cross and I had used the night before, it was the only manly part of the whole house with boring brown color and black blinds, it was so pale compared to every other part of the house, I went into the wall in wardrobe took one of his shirts out and placed it on the bed, I then made my way into the bathroom, turned on the water until the bathtub was filled, I added my scented bathing gel and foamed it up before slipping in, the coolness of the water helped in smoothing my weak bones, I stayed in the bathtub for more than thirty minutes before getting off and washing myself cleaning, going back into the room, put on the shirt which looked like a mini gown on me and fell on the bed, contrary to what I thought I couldn’t fall asleep, I tossed and turned for more than twenty minutes before giving up and picking up my phone, I browsed through the photos we took when we were in Bahamas, they were all lovely , I dropped a few of them on my social media account with the caption.

“Honeymoon,” I was bad at giving captions which is why most of my photos either had one or two emojis or a two-way word, my older sister dropped a heart comment, I felt bad for not talking to her, so I decided to call her since I was bored and couldn’t sleep

“Hi, No?”

I said when she picked up.

“Kathy, I wasn’t expecting your call, how have you been? I am sorry for what I said on your wedding day, none of it were the intention,”

She said.

“It’s okay, No, I am sorry I kept you guys at arm’s length I was just disappointed that’s all, but it’s all fine now,”

“And I am sorry for how I acted when you called that day,”

“It’s okay, it’s all in the past now, how are you and the kids?”

“We are fine and you? How is it like being married?”

“So not what I expected, but I am doing good,”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Aha, that’s good to know, we were all worried,”

“There is no need to be though, I am fine now,”

“Thank goodness, I saw your photos and they look so fine and you look like you had fun,”

“Yes, I did, ”

I replied yawning, the sleep was finally coming in.

“That’s good to know, where is Cross?”

“He is at work, we got back to New York yesterday and I went to the new school today, my classes are resuming next week as I am gonna use this week to settle into my new life,”

“Alright, it’s so nice to hear from you, it was so not easy being on your bad side, I missed talking to you Kathy, Nelly too, she came by the other day and she was in tears,”

She revealed, I felt bad all over again for being a bad bitch but it was expected, I am human and I was hurt by the way they acted when we were close before.

“I will call her after I get some rest, right now, I need to sleep, I just felt I should talk to you and let you know I am doing fine, I saw the way y’all were looking at me on my wedding day but I was still too angry with you guys to say anything to you but not anymore,”

“Thank God, it wasn’t easy one bit, even mom felt it, I hope you can come and visit in Arizona soon Kathy,”

“I will try No, I have got to go, I need to sleep,”

I said with another big yawn.

“Alright dear, talk to you some other time,”

“Okay bye,”

I said and the call ended, I laid back on the bed and closed my eyes this time the sleep came quick.

When I woke up again it was already dark in the room, I used my hands to find my phone and turned on the Torchlight, before looking for the switch to turn on the room light, I checked the time and it was almost seven-thirty in the evening, I slept for five hours straight, still feeling dazed from sleep I made my way to the downstairs, Cross wasn’t anywhere around.

“So he isn’t back from work by this time, maybe he is pulling an all-nighter, how hard is it to call and let me know,”

I said to myself as I made my way towards the kitchen, I was hungry again and hoped Nora had kept something for me to eat, if not I am gonna have to make do with the snack that I didn’t eat in the afternoon, thankfully there was food on the dining table with a small note written and kept on it which read.

“I didn’t want to wake you, so I left something for you to eat when you wake up,”

I smiled at her handwriting, the old lady was a nice woman and reminded me a lot of my nanny, I opened the tray and found another mouth-watering dish of Curry and rice, I smiled, sat down and ate every bit of it, before going over to the kitchen fridge to get some chocolate, I remembered what she told me earlier about not touching any stuff in the kitchen so I made sure she wasn’t around before I took the chocolate and headed back upstairs to the room, I ate the chocolate knowing that it was unhealthy but still I eat it, all the while waiting for my so-called husband to either call me that he won’t be coming in tonight or show up, but neither of those happened, I contemplated calling him but pride took the better of me so I didn’t call him and opt to watch movies and catch up on some BTS related stuff that I had missed, before long I was sleepy again, I tried to stay awake till he calls or comes home but the sleep won…
