BEHIND OUR LOVE...

BEHIND OUR LOVE... CHAPTER 06
 BY MIEMIEBEE

Just a while after, James came to my room "aren't you done yet?" He asked. "Don't you know my mom has been waiting for quite a long time now? How many hours do you need to prepare that ugly face of yours?" He roared. I stood up from where I was sitted "am...am... Am done" I said wryly. He took some steps forward to where I was standing and lifted my face up with his hand scrutinizing my face. I kept praying hoping he won't slap me. "Good" he said softly "lets go." I led out a relieved sigh.

        I followed his back as we approached to his latest BMW. He made it to the driver seat nd I too to the passenger's and we took off. There was a complete silence in the car. I can't remember when last James and I went out together, I really want this, I love James alot even though he has been mean to me I still love my husband. He broke the silence by turning on a cool music. I turned slightly to look at him he's hot! I kept on staring at him untill our gazes meet I instantly turned to the other side starring outside the window. It didn't took much time before we arrived at the airport.

        After parking the car in a parking lot he opened his door and I decided to open mine too, he said "stop! let me." My jaw almost dropped and I forgot how to breathe for a while. Guess I didn't miss his sarcasm. Is James for real? Wait! What did he just said? *wait, let me* wow this is hilarious, I guess he's just putting on a show for his mother. I waited for him.

      My door opened a minute later and  he offered his hand out to me chivalrously. I couldn't grip his hand I was just starring at it rather. He faked a smile and smirked "your hand please" he said quizzically. "I warned you not to act stupidly, right? Mom's starring now grip my hand." He added. And I gripped it, he easily pulled me out of the car. He wrapped his warm hand around my waist just as how gentlemen does. I reluctantly tried to pull my body from him but he keeps one arm around me and firmly pulls me into his side.

        He muttered into my ears "easy Izzy don't make a fool out of yourself." From the distant I can see his affectionate mom smiling at the both of us. On approaching to her, she pulled out her phone and snapped us a picture she exclaims "awwwn! You guys are too good together" she gave us a light hug. James held my hand not letting go and used his other hand to drag her trolley. I greeted her "afternoon mrs Patricks," smiling. She smiled back at me "how are you dear?" Placing her hand on my face and gently rubbing it "you look awesome" she added.

        I did nothing but smile at her, how I wish her son took after her personality like this, I would have been the happiest woman on earth. We reached onto the car and he opened the back seat for his mom letting her in. I walked the other way to open mind and he winced and opened mine for me too just as he did earlier and turned to the other side and entered the car too. He hit the sterring and off we went.

          The car wasn't as silent as it was before, mum kept on cracking some kind of jokes asking us about how we move on with our lives. Till we got home I didn't say anything, James managed to bring out her luggage, she was just admiring how clean and tidy my home was. I brought her some snacks and drinks knowing she's not that much into food. She was sitted on a couch where as James on a nearly long sofa after serving her I decided to sit on a diffrent sofa opposite James anyways thats what am used to not sitting beside my husband.

        He eyed me, giving me a deadly glare and beckoned me over pointing at the little space beside him for me to sit in a manner his mother wouldn't notice. I gave him a bewildered look, he snort moving his eyes to the provided space again. I have no option, do I? I walked straight and sat next to him. He pulled me closer to him gently rubbing his soft hand on my arm romantically. It was something am not used to but I find myself enjoying the moment, I wish James will be like this forever, he's so sweet right now.

     Mom's voice pulled me out of my thought. She stared at me for a moment before saying, "is it my eyes or has Isabelle really become darker and more slim?" She asked with a curious look on her face waiting for confirmention from either me or James.

      I said to myself "so its really that obvious, well even a blind man can see that am suffering in James house, he treats me more like a servant than his wife." I pulled myself out of my thoughts and gave her a smile am sure she would know it wasn't from my heart without saying anything. She's still confuse I can see it written on her forehead sha stared back at James.

           "Sweetheart" she called him "tell me whats wrong with Isabelle, i'm adamant she's somehow not okay I can see it." I protested putting on a brighter smile than I did before, "seriously mom its nothing" I said gritting my teeth and feeling subconcious.  James didn't say anything uptil now. He better conprehend for himself before his mom suspect something about what has being going on in this house.
   
          Just as if he heard what I said he pulled me even closer to him using his other hand to toy with my long fingers he never touched before if not mistakenly. He flashed his brightest mr cool smile in order to fool his mother am sure he's about lying now. “Oh common mum!” He exclaimed “no matter how hard I try to hide things for you, you always caught me in the middle.”
