Chapter 19 the show
We talked and discovered we were made for each other while I drove and now we are here .
Wow that is inspiring ,this all happened within a week she said pushing the question to me .
Yes ,I reply and stop.
So you both got attracted within a week and then chose to stick with one another?
Yes we replied together and then she smiled .
That is beautiful she replied ,so what is her favorite color Arnold?
It's red ,she told me when we went on a dinner date .
Wow,how do you cope being with a highly successful woman? Annie asked.
Her success is my success and my success is hers too,she doesn't intimidate me,she completes me ,I replied watching my wife lean onto me .
I can feel the connection between you too ,I will like to ask some questions about Christine Monroe if you both don't mind she said.
Go on queenie instructed.
Christine I the controversy in your relationship, how do you deal with it ?
Christine has always been family ,she has always been there for me through thick and thin,and now my husband Is here for me and with me.
I only see Christine as family .
Arnold how is your relationship with Christine?
She is my friend too he replied ,it was I and my wife who agreed to bring her on our honey moon ,she stayed in a separate room from us but we went everywhere together.
Wow this story is all about love and friendship .
So what are your plans for the future?
I smile and lock eyes with queenie again ,she answers ,we just want to love each other for the rest of our lives .
Wow ,I would want someone to love me this deep Annie said .
Your story sounds more like a movie ,but seeing the two of you seat here before the world together proves just one thing ,that love birds can place thier nets just about any where.
The crowd cheers and we kiss just as Mona had instructed .
Queenie holds my lips into hers and the passion in the kiss grows and Annie and her audience begin to cheer.
The show ended and we went back into the limo, the kiss queenie had given me stayed on my lips
It was like she had changed ,I knew she was changing,it wasn't like the first time .
As we sat there all I could think of was if she was in love or the kiss was a show and she was just good at putting up a show.
Mt phone rang and I pulled it out of my jacket pocket Christine was written on it .
I pick it up and we talk about the show ,I was about to pass the phone to queenie so then can at least say hi when she asks," am I on speaker?
No I reply .
I have something urgent to tell you ?
What is it a asked ,"alarmed sensing she was serious as her time had changed .
I can't tell you over the phone I will prefer we meet up somewhere .
Okay I will give you a call .
I say then I hang up .
Who was that ? Queenie ask .
It's a friend of mine ,old friend who just saw me on television and wants to meet up .
Are you going to go see that person ? You know your life has changed and most people will want to use you for thier own benefit.
I will be fine queenie ,nothing to worry about I assure her .
Okay she says as she puts one of her hand on the other ,she seemed odd a little bit and I can't tell what I'd wrong ,maybe she is sick as she had said earlier ,normally she is cold and acts mire like she resents me and this is just a business deal.
Should I follow you to the doctor or should we just call him to our house?
No she tells me ,let's call him to the house .
Okay then I will be gone to ser my friend hope you will be able to handle yourself?
I have been doing that all my life she replies .
I sigh feeling relieved,this is the queenie I know .
After we get home we go upstairs and once she is in the room I make my way back out into the garbage and pick one of the sports car and head on out to meet Christine.
She had moved out after the visit of queenies parents and its been a week since u saw her ,quennie had gone to see her a couple of times .
I feel nervous ,it feels odd going to see her now after a week ,we tad been close all through the vacation and we have been having great see every time we were alone .
Talking to her earlier had made me remember a lot ,and guilt had spread over my body ,I have neglected her in just a week.
Though we did not say or dictate the terms of our relationship but still I felt something.
I wanted to call her and have dinner at a restaurant but I changed my mind immediately considering we just publicized our love on national TV, it would be bad if someone saw me having lunch with Christine now.
I drove straight to her apartment and when I knocked on the door ,she opened it within seconds ,it was as if she was standing by the door .
As always she was in her nigties , her body looking ravishing on the see through clothing,I think of all the things I can do to her body ,all the things I should do to her before I leave but I move my head away
Trying to focus on the television on the wall ,I ask ,"what have you been up to?
She seats on her blue couch,"I am pregnant . "she let out.
What I say turning to face her ,it's been a week since I found out ,she said.
I stand there with my mouth wide open watching her drink water .
