Being Mrs Spence

Florence swallowed hard. She noticed that the girl has a fine accent.

She smiled back before telling her that she came to see Maxwell.

Maxwell new girlfriend was indeed pretty, she was also respectful and was not angry seeing her.

“He’s by the pool side, I can take you there…

“Thanks… but I can find my way down…

The girl nodded with a smile as Florence left.

She found Maxwell, he was shirtless, sun glasses on and was relaxing on a wooden carved pool bed facing up.

The early morning Saturday sun was up already.

It was around 11am

He straightened, but didn’t sit up or remove the glasses.

” Hey… Max… Good morning?

He didn’t reply as he remained the same way he was.

She breathed deeply, took a seat beside him.

“… How are you doing? I… I saw your girl. She’s pretty… uhmmm…

She lost word to say and yet Maxwell did not reply or remove the glasses.

“.. Can you please remove the shade so that I can atleast see your eyes?Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

No reply and he didn’t remove it either.

She nodded confused. Made an attempt to touch Maxwell but he used his hand to block her.

“Don’t try it… say whatever you want to say and Leave. Don’t try to touch me please…

He finally said. Florence clapped her hands together, fighting hard to blink back tears.

“I’m sorry Max… I know I wronged you and don’t deserve your forgiveness. I’m deeply and sincerely sorry… please. Forgive me. Please Max… I have been living a miserable and unhappy life ever since you left. I haven’t been myself… I can’t do anything without thinking of you and how much wrong I did to you. I know I lied… I unknowingly took you for granted but it was never intentional. I never imagined such to happen. I… I’m sorry Max. I can go on my knee to prove how sorry I am. I’m ready to do anything you want. Max… anything that will make you to forgive me…

Maxwell suddenly removed the glasses, dropped it on a wine table beside him.

He looked up at Florence and said

“All this are unnecessary because I have nothing against you. I have forgiven you long time ago Flox. I hold no grudge against you which was why I instructed the security to open the gate when they came to inform me that you were there. But I don’t want you close to me… not ever again. I have moved on… and want to leave whatever happened between us behind. Let it be in the past. Don’t allow yourself to wallow in misery because of me, go and continue living happily with your husband as you are also expecting the arrival of your baby. I wish you all the best Flox… and I mean it. Deep down in my heart I sincerely wish you nothing bad but only good blessings of life…

Maxwell bite his lips as he looked into her eyes, looked away to the pool side with a sudden frown on his face.

He looked back at her and said.

“…. I heard alot of thinking ever since I found out the kinda lady that you are. Your husband said the pregnancy was over a month… which means all the while you were here you knew that you were pregnant but refused saying anything. You acted sick and got drugs. But the one I’m still confused about was you asking me to make love to you… when you know deep down that you were pregnant for Coleman. What where you thinking… what exactly was your plan, I don’t understand your reasons and why… You… Flox… hmmm…

He paused, shakes his head sadly and wore back his glasses.

He face the pool side.

He was so fine, with his topless body. His chest goes up and down, as his heart beat gently.

He was deeply hurt and struggling so hard to face it.

A tear fell off from Florence eyes. She quickly wiped it off.

She hurt Maxwell so much and it was never in her intentions.

“I’m not pregnant Max. We are not expecting any baby. Well, I thought I was. I couldn’t tell you during the period I was here, I couldn’t. I was afraid of loosing you or getting you crossed with me. I know the sins I held in my heart and intended to carry it out but one way or the other you didn’t obliged… I don’t want to go into long details. I’m sincerely sorry. Never wanted to hurt you in anyway. Ever since that day you came to the house, I have never slept with Cole. Not on the same bed or ever getting intimate. And I’m serious this time, I can swear it…

“Flox, none of this is necessary. With all this information, what exactly do you want me to do with it? I’m cool… really, I am. go and leave your life with your husband. I’m very alright and have nothing against you…

Maxwell said standing up. He walked to the pool, removed the shade, threw it aside before diving into the water.

Florence sat confused on what exactly to do.

She stood up and that was when she saw Maxwell’s girlfriend coming.

She was bringing grapes, red and green mixed with dry fruits to Maxwell. And there’s a pack of juice with an empty glass cup in the tray.

Maxwell was still swimming in the pool without giving her another look.

Florence knew it was time to go.

She started walking away.

“Are you leaving already…? I was bringing this to you. I thought you will be spending more time. I kinda delayed back inside… my bad. Are you alright… were you crying? Did he say or do something that….

Florence interrupted.

“I’m fine, I wasn’t crying. Is probably the flash of water from the pool. Thanks for the tray of goodies but I got to run now. Max is a great guy, you are very lucky to have him… I’m happy that he choose a calm, caring lady like you…

The young girl opened her mouth to say something but Florence walked away, she hurried out without looking back.
