"Hello, why did you call me?" Catherine questioned with an irritated voice.
"I missed you " a deep male voice said in reply.
"Gosh we saw each yesterday" she said smiling in spite of herself.
"That was far too long ago, I miss you he murmured again".
"Well nothing can be done about that, I'm sorry."
He remained silent.
"Hello are you still there? "
"Yeah yeah ,how long will you continue keeping us a secret? "
"For as long as I can, I miss you too but my hands are tired". She sighed in anguish
"You never know they might not be offended ".
She laughed a little "you don't know my daughters they will surely bite off my ears if they get to know, and a lot has been going on. I don't want to dump this on their little shoulders, it's simply not fair".
"Catherine you deserve to be happy too".
She liked how he called her name, like it mattered to him." I know but my children's happiness comes first , I have to sacrifice for them that's what makes me a good mom".
"Hmmm am - I don't know what to say, so what if they are never ready? Does that mean that what we share will cease to exist?"
"Don't be a pessimists, be patient everything would fall into place okay ? " She reassued not wanting to let go of him yet
"Ok so when can we meet up? "
"Are you crazy? We have to be on the low for the meantime".
He sighed loudly" Yes cath I'm crazily in love with you and I can't being apart from you , I - "
"Sorry I can't hear you" she quickly interrupted" I would call you later " she said cutting the call and heaving a big sigh. She couldn't handle him in that mood, she will call him back later she thought to herself.
Catherine stared at the hibiscus seeds in her hands in deep confusion, trying to remember what she planned to do with them, right she was planting them before she got his call. She loved gardening in her free time, it gave her peace of mind and now that peace was shattered by one phone call. Sighing she walked around her small garden admiring her flowers, but soon life 's problems interrupted her flow. Was she a bad mom by indulging in a little pleasure? She had gone to the local store to buy some fertilizer for her flowers when she had run into him. He had been her high school sweetheart back then, so rekindling old emotions had been very easy.
Plus she was stressed out back then about alot of things, Alice and her issues a lot was going on with her and one thing led to another , she had sought comfort from him.
She had done it in a moment of weakness, and now she was more worried about her budding feelings coupled with the fact that he was a clingy lover. Tsk tsk she really didn't want this to affect her children, even though she wasn't the best she loved her two girls so much.
'Mike this is all your fault!! 'She said to her late husband, why did you have to die? Now I'm left with two temperamental teenagers to care for, sometimes she didn't even know if she was doing the right thing or not.
She didn't know when to act strict or calm down on the rules and Arya always accused her of being partial but she wasn't even doing that international , Alice was.... God she didn't want to think about that it was too depressing and now she was in this mess?
Gwaaaad I need a drink, she walked back to the main door on hearing a sound at the door, seems like her bundle of troubles were back she thought smiling a little, but suddenly stopped with a start her eyes widening what if it wasn't ayra and Alice but him?
Rushing over to the door, she murmured No, no, no like a mantra God please don't let it be him she prayed. It was just the kind of thing he would do, coming unannounced , fuck!! If he was the one at the door then she was legit doomed.
Hey guys, who do you think is at the door?
