BY THE END OF THE NIGHT

Head ache-free, fresh out of the shower, seated outside my hotel room which accompanies a great view, reading my favorite novel of all time with a cup of coffee on the coffee table beside me, I can tell that today will definitely be a good day.

Although it started on an embarrassing note, with Wilder who didn't fail to mock me till I left his room.

He is an ass. 

But I am glad he is back even though he ever left. He is just so confusing and I don't have time or do I care enough to unwrap his mysteries. I have enough on my plate with Cole as it is and speaking about Cole.

Where the hell is my husband?

My attention was shifted from the novel to my phone as it began to ring and the name that pops out gave me nightmares.

It's the witch, AKA Coles's mum.

She gained the name on several occasions like when she poured wine on my wedding dress, pretended to be sick so we won't go for our honeymoon.

Bitch said she was dying, I wish she did.

Or should I talk about the times she indirectly referred to me like a lowlife and how I am not good for her son?

Bitch! Cole and I are meant to be.

I mumbled some colorful words before picking it up.

"Melissa, I have to say, I wasn't expecting this call." I tried to sound nice but both of us know it is an act.

"Where the hell is my son?" With that question, I knew that Melissa called for war. I placed my novel on the coffee table ready for battle.

"It's not my fault your son is avoiding you." He is probably not picking her calls that's why she is being melodramatic.

"You don't know where he is, do you?" I didn't give an answer to that question because I honestly do not know where Cole is.

He texted "Good morning" 2 hours ago and that is it.

"First you take my son to God knows where for the sake of some stupid vacation and then you decide to make my granddaughter stay with that your good for nothing mother..." I stopped listening when I heard the slander against my mum.

This witch does not know who she is messing with.

"Te arranco la lengua, just insult my mum again, I dare you," I yelled into the phone.

"Classy, as expected." Her sarcasm pissed me off the most.

"And I didn't decide, we did. Your son and I, we decided to keep our Kitty away from the lunacy of your family." I can tell I am screaming but I don't give a damn.

This woman brings out the worst in me.

I seriously have no idea why she hates me, since high school when I started dating Cole, she held this grudge against me.

I actually do have an idea, she is mad because she can't control Cole anymore.

" Oh please, Cole told me everything. Your decisions are not his." Of course, even till now Cole can't stand up to his mum.

He would rather paint me as the bad guy than tell his mum that it was our decision to keep our daughter away from her.

Same old Cole.

"Of course he did." I shook my head in anger. I am more than pissed right now.

"My baby called 2 days ago, he sounded drunk. And I know my baby never drinks, it has to be your handwork, I don't know what you did and he won't tell me. He sounded sad, he just kept on crying and..." I cut the call not wanting to hear her talk again.

Cole fucking drunk dialed his mum.

So much for a wonderful day, now it's all ruined.

"I am going to fucking kill him." I declared facing Meghan. Meghan rushed to my room after I called her and told her about Melissa.

"No you won't, the minute he talks, you forgive him. It's like you are under a spell or something." Meghan rolled her eyes.

It's not going to work this time.

Calling is mum, my enemy,  is where I draw the line.

"I am going to fuck him up." I continued pacing around. I do this when I am extremely pissed.

"Or fuck him." I stopped glaring at Meghan's annoying attempt to make a joke.

"Don't give me that look, I am not your wicked mother-in-law." Megan mocked.

Why did I even call her?

I continued pacing ignoring her comments and jokes.

"Is this the perfect moment to say I told you so because I told you so. 10 years ago, I said marriage is a sham but you were too in love to see the truth in my wise saying. Now you have the witch and her cute little pet which you call your husband." Meghan laughed. I stopped pacing and grabbed a pillow from the bed and hit her with it but she ducked.

Lucky bitch.

"Relax, you texted Cole that you wanted to talk right?" I nodded in answer to her question.

"Then he will soon be here and then you can drop the thunder on his ass, then after, you guys can have angry sex until you are not angry anymore." I rolled my eyes before sitting in the bed with her.

"Forget about me, how about your and Harvey?" I need some good news for a change.

"We are going on a date."Meghan smiled widely while I jumped on the bed in happiness. Although I haven't met the guy if he makes my girl happy, I support it.

"When?" I fell on the bed, sitting upright to get the full details.

"Now." My eyes widened at the reply.

What the actual hell?

"Then what the hell are you doing here?" I gasped.

"The dude has to wait plus I can't miss the Melissa drama," Meghan smirks.

"Get the hell out of my room and go get your man," I ordered pointing at the door.

"Aye Aye, captain." As Meghan gets down from the bed I heard the door open. The opened door reveals my husband, in sports clothes.

Perfect, just perfect.

"Hi, Cole." Meghan greeted as she walks towards the door.

"Meghan."  Cole greeted back. Meghan muttered a "call me " before walking out of the room.

Cole walked up to me and tried to give me a peck on the forehead but I looked away.

"Your mum called." I started the conversation. I shifted two inches away from him not to get tempted by his newly developed muscular arms.

"Shit, whatever she might have said, I apolog..." I didn't let him finish his sentence because I wasn't done with what I was saying and his apology won't solve it.

"She said you told her that it was my decision to take Kitty to my mum's place." I looked up at him but he won't look me in the eyes.

"I s-said that?" He is lying, he knows what he did.

Cole is a bad liar.

"You did. I can't believe you." I yelled throwing my hands in the air.

"I don't get why it's such a big deal, Kitty is with your mum." He still doesn't get it?

Jesus, please don't let me lose my temper.

"Because now I am the bad guy." Not losing my temper ship has sailed.

"What does it matter, you both hate each other." He replied looking tired already.

Well, he hasn't seen anything yet.

"You don't get it, you can't still stand up to her. You don't stand up for yourself, you don't stand up for our marriage, you don't defend me, you don't fight for me and it's been ten years, ten fucking years. This open marriage shit was to make you more active, bring us closer together but it's not happening. And if this is not working, why the hell are we still doing this shit?" I yelled on top of my voice. I felt a little bit calm, so I waited for him to reply.

But no reply came, He was just standing there, trying to look for the right words.

"By the end of tonight, you should make a decision, whatever you think you are doing here or us." I finished. I got out of the bed and walked out of the room, leaving him to make a decision.
