Deceit

I heard the sound of ringing so I turned over and hit the alarm. I still felt tired even after a nights sleep. I quietly got out of bed so as not to wake my fiancée, and stood at the end of the bed staring at her. She looked so sweet and innocent, breathing softly, I was amazed as to how I was getting married to someone this beautiful. Her name was as beautiful as she is too. Kate, Greek for pure. I had known her for three years now and was my main reason for living. Her body was so soft and beautiful, just perfect, even her clothes were folded on the chair in a perfect fashion. I looked over to my side of the bed and found mine lying on the floor in a heap. I took some underwear from a draw at the end of the bed and threw it to my side. Whilst walking over to the shower I saw her sigh and turn over and a smile shone on my face. As I got in the shower I looked round to make sure I had a towel. I turned the shower control and scalding water began to pour, it felt amazing. The water itself felt as if it was cleaning me and at the same time waking me gently. I heard the door handle moving so I looked round the shower door. There stood Kate with a devilish smile on her face.

        “Happy to see me?” she asked in her soft feminine voice.

        “Of course,” I replied, “Who wouldn’t be?”

        “Mind if I join you then?” she asked.

        I smiled but knew I would be late for work again. “No, but it will make me late again. My boss said if I was late again I would be fired.”

        “If you get fired we can do everything together,” she said insistently, trying to make me stay home with her again.

        “I’ll come home early then. Will that make up for it?” I asked, trying to finish washing myself. A moments pause and then I remembered I had a date that evening. “Damn it,” I said angrily, “I forgot that I have a meeting until six, and then John from the office is leaving so we’re going for a round at the pub.” I lied, innocently faced, with a secretive smile.

        “Well what time will you be getting back?” she asked impatiently.

        “I don’t know. It depends on how many free drinks I’m offered.” I replied

        “Fine. I’ll see you when you get back or if I’m asleep, sleep on the couch.” She said with harshness in her voice then walked out of the bathroom abruptly.

        I got out of the shower, dried myself quickly, and went into the bedroom.

        “See you later.” She shouted from the front door.

        “I'm sorry…” the front door slammed. Even though I love her, her moods are unpredictable. I know I brought it on myself but still, to change mood that quickly is a thing that I will never fully understand. I looked out of a window saw she was getting into her car. Going to a friends house I presumed. The main thing was I wanted to believe she wasn’t going to another mans house to get rid of me. I bent down to put my socks on. My suit was very cool as I put it on, but I guessed it would be warmer than the mid-autumn climate. After I turned the alarm on I stepped out of the front door I was relieved that I was right. The weather had been very cool just recently and the sky, very clear. I guessed that the weather matched my mood really. I locked the door and walked over to my dark blue BMW, the car my parents told me I’d never have. When I arrived at the office I looked at my watch, seven minutes early for once instead of the usual lateness. My friend Rob walked passed my car and stood by the bonnet so I grabbed for my briefcase and got out.

Join now!

        “Have a good time yesterday, did you?” He asked in his deep, rough voice.

        “Yeah. Where were you anyway? This is our most important week in the last two years and one of the people in charge wasn’t there,” I said, followed by a moments hesitation.

        “Did you forget about my wife?” He asked. I looked at him blankly. “The one that was over nine months pregnant?”

        “Congratulations! Have you come up with a name yet?” I asked.

        “Yes, his name is Nathan,” he replied, “named after my grandfather, his great grandfather.”

Whilst walking into the office I began ...
