ALWAYS AND FOREVER

Cross Pov

When I got home, I didn’t meet Kathy at home, and no one was in the main house, so I had to check up at the staff quarters, where I met Betty who told me that Kathy had left as soon as I left the house and had not come back, I felt she would have gone to see her friend Marilyn, maybe she needed someone to talk to like I did, my talk with Dean even though the dude had been an asshole the whole time helped a lot as my head was a lot clearer and I could at least think straight, I went back to the main house, hoping she would come back soon, I sat in the living room hoping to meet her when she gets back before she goes up into her room and locks herself in, but I was so tired and sleep deprived that as soon as I sat down I fell asleep and was woke only the ringing of my phone, I checked call and it was Ginna, I wondered why I hadn’t blocked her as I ignored her call, bit she called back when the call ended, I picked up wanting to tell her to fuck off.

“What do you want from me witch?”

I asked, I hated that I had bern so stupid and blinded by the past to have thought Ginna was a good person, jokes on me for being such a fool.

“That’s not how you talk with your wife to be, Hi love,”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

She said and I bite my lips to prevent myself from saying the first words that came to mind, she has a lot of nerve calling and saying such things to me.

“What do you want Ginna? Have you not done enough damage? Can’t you just let me be? What do you still want from me?”

“I want you, easy, but you are playing hard to get, I grew up not getting what I want, but not anymore as I plan on getting everything that I want,”

She said and I rolled my eyes, she was such a joker.

“I don’t have time for this right now, so will you just fuck off?”

I asked moving the phone off my ears to cut her off but her next words stopped me.

“I am meeting up with your soon to be ex-wife,”

“What do you mean by that?”

I asked getting off the chair.

“Well, she contacted me and asked us to meet and you know me, I was much too glad to meet up with her, she seems to want to know more about our relationship and I plan on telling her, so you wanna come and see?”

She asked laughing.

“Don’t go near Katherine, don’t go near my wife,”

“Hey, you seem to forget when I said she was the one that asked to see me, I am just being polite,”

“I don’t believe you bitch,”

“Whatever, I just wanted to let you know my love, you know I hate keeping things from you,”

“I am not your love so fuck off that imagination if yours,”

“Oh my gosh, did you forget how I tasted against your lips, I know you wanted me too so stop pretending, I felt it you know, you were so hungry for me that if that little wench hadn’t been a part of your life we would have been happy together, I want her out,”

She said.

“Ginna, I don’t love you and I don’t want to be with you, whatever happened with us was a mistake, a mistake that I shouldn’t have let happen, now even if Katherine ends up leaving me which I hope she doesn’t, there is no way I am going to be with you, I rather die single than be with you, get that and get it clear,”

“We will see about that my love,”

She said and hung up.

I didn’t want her talking to Katherine, she was already upset, she might say more things that would further ruin my relationship with Kathy, things that won’t be true but Kathy will believe them anyway because of those damn photos and the video, I dialed Kathy’s number, it rang but she didn’t take her call, I tried again a couple of times more but she still didn’t take her calls, I called Marilyn instead.

“Hi, Cross, what’s up?”

“Hi, Marilyn, is Kathy with you?”

“Oh no, sorry dear, but I am at work and I haven’t seen her today, by the way, I know she has already told you so congratulations,”

She said It takes a couple of seconds for me to realize the reason she was congratulating me.

“Thanks, Marilyn,”

I said after realizing she was talking about our baby, of course, Kathy would have told her, the two were pretty much close despite their huge age gap.

“You are welcome dear, anyway, o haven’t seen her, did something happen?”

“No, not really, I didn’t meet her at home and you know Kathy, she never takes her call so I wanted to check if she is with you, anyway thanks,”

“Oh, okay, maybe she went out to get something, you know pregnant women are unpredictable and this happens to be her first so we don’t know what to expect yet, my advice is to try and cope with her and treat her right, you don’t wanna mess with a hormonal woman,”

She advised. I wanted to tell her I already did, that I already messed up.

“Thanks, Marilyn, I am gonna let you get back to work now,”

“Alright, take care,”

She replied and the call ended, I called Kathy again but she still didn’t take her calls, I guess she didn’t want to talk to me and I decided that whatever she ends up hearing from Ginna, and whatever she might think I wasn’t going to let her go, I was going to hold on to her until she forgives me, even if it means I would spend the rest of my life doing just that…
