Chapter Forty-one
Chapter Forty-one
But Mrs. scolded him. Thompson, he will not leave my presence. Its f ucking lunch time but none of the deal proposals that I have read have been approved. Not a single word of what I read comes to my mind. All I'm thinking about is Joanna. I even connect my phone to my office's CCTV to know what she's doing with Mrs. Thompson outside.
She's teaching her the things she needs to do, I even caught Mrs. Thompson Glaring and Joanna. I wonder why. As minutes turned to hours the next thing I knew it was time for us to go home. I checked on my cellphone first what they did to Joanna. I saw him facing Mrs. Thompson while he was holding his bag and before he could catch me I immediately left my office.
He was about to knock, his hand hung in the air, he immediately lowered it and bit his bottom lip. It was obvious that he was uncomfortable with us being in the same place. Why does he prefer Terrance to be his boss? Because he is more comfortable. And he didn't seem to have any intention of speaking so I broke the silence between us.
"Are you going home?" It's cold if you ask him. I also made sure that there was no emotion on my face. Sigh.
I know I shouldn't be acting lie this but I just can't really help it. I am fucking jealous with Terence. He got the chance to bond with my wife every day of the past two years that I am not with her, if only... if only I had a choice back then. I wouldn't f ucking leave her but d amn it! I need my wife back as soon as possible. She is mine, mine alone. So, I didn't wait for her answered and just grabbed her hand and went straight to the parking lot.
I know I should be explaining to her the moment we meet again, why I left her but d amn it! Jealousy is eating me up, pictures of her and Terrance keep flashing back on my mind and my pride is all that matters. Funny thing is, when we meet again, I was expecting her to slap me and say words that I deserve for leaving her without even a single d amn word years ago but I heard nothing. I feel like she doesn't really care anymore what happened in the past.
I stopped the car and I thought he was going to get out right away but after five minutes he was still sitting. I slowly turned to him and saw that he was staring at my window and it looked like he was deep in thought while he was biting his lower lip.
I swallowed. She's biting her lip again and I am so f ucking tempted to kiss those d amn sexy thin lips. It's been a long time since the last time I tasted it. So, without thinking twice, I removed my seatbelt, went near her and called her name with my endearment only for her.
"Joanna, Wife." He slowly turned to me.
"J-Justin –" And before she could continue her sentence, I crossed the distance between us and kissed her passionately on her lips. At first he was still falling so I had to hold his neck and chin so he wouldn't let go of my kisses until it didn't take long and he stopped for letting go and letting me kiss him.
We are both catching our breath, when I ended our kiss but before I completely moved my face away from his face, I gave him another quick kiss on the lips.
"Uhmmm..." He bit his lower lip again before continuing what he was going to say.
"Will you stop biting your lips Joanna. I'll kiss you again, once I catch you." I told him weakly but firmly.
"Ahh... t-thank you for the delivery. S-alright, I'm leaving." He said and quickly got out of my car. I just held my breath when he entered the gate of the house where they were staying without turning around.
I hit the steering wheel with the frustration I feel now. Why didn't he even fight me?! I am expecting it. I am expecting a hard slap and curses from her for leaving her years ago, but I got nothing. Oh my! What are you thinking Joanna?
What do you want to happen? Why are you giving me this fucking silent treatment?
Don't worry wife, I am back now. I will do everything and anything to have you back you are still my wife after all and I promise this time, I will let everyone know that you are my wife. I won't keep you as a secret, this time.
So, she jogs every morning at the park huh? I nodded at the information I read about Joanna from the report I got from my private investigator. But I need to do something to get her attention, but how?
I thought of getting something to eat while I was thinking of what I could do to get Joanna to notice me tomorrow. I even passed by the entertainment room where Lola was, she saw me so she called me, of course I just came.
"It's night." I said to him and then I stood at the entrance of the entertainment room. He laughed softly as if watching him was thrilling? Geez! Isn't she too old for that thrill? Out of curiosity, I kept watching the TV. I think she is watching a Filipino movie, I didn't know there was a movie showing this late at night.
The scene is the woman is with her dog and I guess she's on her way to do some jogging when the leash of the dog slips on her hand, so the dog had a chance to run far from her. She tried to catch it but I guess, it's part of the scene where she has to act pabebe. It's boring so I decided to head to the kitchen when I heard the woman But to my surprise a guy looked back at her and answered her, 'why' with his forehead creased. The dog went near the guy and the woman called the dog again by its name, the dog barked at the same time the guy answered her again 'why'. Now it's the woman's forehead creased this time, and that's when I guess she realized that the guy and her dog have the same name.
Grandma laughed and I can't help but smile a little at the scene. That was catchy. Then an idea crossed my mind, so I immediately fished my phone on my pocket and I know it's late at night but I have no choice but to call Mrs. Thompson, she's the only person who can help me right now. Since Lola is busy watching the movie, I headed straight to the kitchen without saying a word.
First thing in the morning, I can't help but to smirk as I saw an American Spaniels breed of dog, on my backyard. Barking and wiggling her tail on me. I took her lease and started walking out of my backyard. Now, let's see if I can really get Joanna's attention with this.
Just in time, I saw Joanna having her morning jog at the park at the exact time I read from her profile, now this is my chance to get her attention. As soon as I took the plastic pashape plate I would fetch Joanna. I am really not a dog person so I really have no idea what this thing is called but of course I have an idea how to use it.
I throw it in the air and let my dog run after it and I guess this is my lucky day, my wife is just a few meters away from us, just enough space for her to hear me call my dog's name.
"Joanna!" The first time I called her name, I am sure that she heard me but she didn't look back in my direction so I called her again and this time she glanced at me and it took forever before our eyes finally met. He even pointed to himself just to make sure, I am really calling her. I wanted to laugh and nod at the same time but I stopped myself. Gotcha wife! Instead –
"Joanna come here." I commanded my dog and she immediately obeyed me. I can't help but to bite my lower lip to stop my laughter as I saw her priceless reaction. One of her eyebrows is arched as she looks at me and my dog, Joanna plays. lol
I am having a fun time with Joanna, my dog when I accidentally glimpse my wrist watch. Oh my! Its fifteen minutes before eight. So instead of going home, since I still have some spare clothes on my office I decided to head straight to Smith house. I left Joanna at the guard house and instruct them that someone will get my dog later.
