Oliver's POV
We left Snider's residence at around 8PM. I wasn't sure how it happened but I didn't really had to convince Macy to come with me because she just came up to a decision that she wasn't going to stay at her parents house. I couldn't really blame her.
We arrived at my place with Macy driving her car while following me. I pressed the button of the garage key and it opened. I went in first. I parked my car to the farthest side and I gave my usual parking space for Macy.
God! I'm so exhausted and desperate for a shower.
I saw Macy got out from her car with her overnight bag. I got out from my car as well.
I'm exhausted but I am still a gentleman. So I took the overnight bag from Macy's hand and we walked towards the elevator. She didn't say a word and I was not really keen to talk as well.
I live in a luxury apartment building. My place, to be exact, is the penthouse. It's a 1 bedroom penthouse apartment with my own gym and a big spa bath.
I also have a mini bar which has the best view and my own multimedia/game room.
The elevator took us to my apartment. I unlocked the door and invited her in.
"You've got a fancier place than I do. I'd like to have this place if ever we got divorced." Macy joked with a grin.
I laughed at her pick up line. She is the very first woman that has ever set foot in this place aside from the women in my family. It's my rule. Be it a girlfriend, a fling or any random woman, they will never be invited into my home.
But just like any rules, there's always an exception. And that was Macy. She was after all my wife.
"Do you want to change first or do you want to rest?" I asked. I was going to let her use the ensuite if she wanted to.
"Come on now! This is your house so you should do whatever you like. I'm fine for now. Errhhm... actually, can I drink some water? I haven't really had anything aside from the food we had earlier and the coffee we had at my parent's house." Macy answered.
"Baby, we're married. Please help yourself. There should be food and water on the fridge. I will just take a shower then we'll talk." After I told her this, she smiled and thanked me then she helped herself on my kitchen.
I went for a quick shower. When I came out of the room I could smell something nice and delicious. So I went straight to the kitchen. I found Macy looking serious and busy flipping an omelette. She never fails to amaze me.
She is a daughter of Reagan Snider who owns a big shipping company but here she is flipping omelette in my kitchen.
"Hmmm that smells nice. The smell is making me hungry." I told her and I started setting the table.
"I'm actually starving too. I hope you didn't mind me raiding your fridge." She answered while looking at the food she was cooking.
"Of course not. I am happy that you are here with me." I told her honestly what I really felt.
In no time, the omelette was ready and she divided it into two servings. One for me and one for her. She also managed to whip a sauce using ketchup and mayo. I feel like I want to keep her forever. Keep her forever my ass! That wasn't really the case.
We ate our food silently. I think in our own way, we both agreed mentally that we didn't want to discuss whatever happened earlier. When we finished, I showed her the ensuite so she could shower and freshen up. I told her to take her time and when she finished, to come find me at the media room.
I cleaned the dishes. Well..
She cooked so I should at least do my bit.
Macy's POV
If I was at home I would have went straight to bed after I showered. I am honestly mentally and physically exhausted tonight. But since I am in Oliver's place, I have to show gratitude by following his request.
I lingered in the shower for a while because I needed to relax. The hot water touching my skin felt so good I wanted to stay in the shower all night. I must have been showering for a long time because I heard Oliver yelling outside the door. "Baby, are you finished? I really need to pee."
I wrapped myself with a towel and told him that he could use the toilet. I went outside and waited. When he finished peeing, I went back in to brush my teeth and apply my facial night creams. I was about to dry my hair when Oliver opened the door again. What's wrong with him?!
"Get dressed. I'll help you dry your hair." He probably got bored while waiting for me at the media room and he changed his mind. And instead, he waited for me in the bed.
I opened my overnight bag.... And guess what?!
I had a mini heart attack!!!
ð¤·ââï¸ I didn't bring any pajamas. I have thought about sleeping in my day clothes but that would be really uncomfortable. Damn! And because I really didn't have a choice, I had to be brave and act like an adult. I went out of the ensuite.
With confusion on Oliver's face he asked me what was wrong.
"Can I please borrow some clothes? I forgot to pack my pajamas." I tried to sound less embarrass as I could.
"Second drawer to the right " Oliver instructed. I walked to his walk in wardrobe and followed his instruction. I found fresh plain tommy hilfiger tshirts which are my favourite by the way. They are very comfortable and they last long too. I put on the a gray tshirt.
I checked and looked at myself in the mirror first before coming out. I found that the tshirt was way too short. It was revealing a part of my bum and it wasn't covering my front much either. I didn't want Oliver to think that I was seducing him and I wasn't really keen on showing anyone my bum tonight. So I opened another drawer and decided to borrow one of his boxer shorts too. Duh! It should be alright. I am after all his wife. And obviously, with our current circumstance, I didn't come here to put colour to my lonely nights. What the hell! What am I thinking? I don't really have lonely nights and my nights were mostly spent at the hospital fixing people's brain. And I have no plan on seducing him. Not now, not ever. I came here because I had nowhere else to go. I came here because he was all I had left.
Oliver was laughing when he saw me emerged from the walk in robe. He told me that I looked very fashionable with my outfit of choice.
"Sorry, I had to push my luck with borrowing your clothes." I told Oliver with a smile.
Then he asked me to sit down beside him which I did. He turned the hair dryer on and he started drying my hair. We were silent for a few moment as the hair dryer was so loud.
Oliver was very gentle when he touched my hair and my neck. Everytime his finger tips touches my skin, it felt like waves of little electric shock that radiated through my whole being. It made me wonder. It made me feel lost. But I haven't really had any male contact for a long time so it's normal to feel like this. I just need to make sure that we have boundaries.
He finally finished drying my hair. He unplugged the hair dryer and placed it on the drawer of the bedside table. Then he positioned himself that he was sitting up with his back leaning on the head board of the bed then he asked me to sit in between his thighs with my head leaning on his right shoulder. And his hands holding mine.
I noticed Oliver was smelling my hair. "I'm sorry for giving you a hard time today. You fed me lunch but this is what I gave you in return."
I think he meant the situation that we had earlier.
"I think it was me who started all the chaos." I answered.
"I'm glad that I agreed to marry you. I wouldn't have it any other way." He continued smelling my hair. Apparently, he likes the smell of my strawberry flavoured shampoo.
We stayed like that for a little more longer until sleep took over my body. And mind you, I slept like a log. So we ended up not having "the talk".
I woke up with the sunlight hitting my eyes. Oh for the love of god! I internally swore. I have always hated it when I get awoken involuntarily because of things like open windows and lights! Bloody hell!
I was having an internal discussion with myself if I should get up and close the window or find something to cover my eyes. I decided to do the first option. I was desperate to pee anyway. I was about to get up when I felt that there was something heavy on my tummy. I forced to open my eyes. Oliver's eyes were closed with half of his face burried to my neck and his arm heavy on my tummy.
"Morning baby." He greeted me with his eyes closed.
I greeted him back and I told him that I really needed to pee. He moved himself and repositioned with his back facing me.
When I finished using the toilet, I was still really sleepy but I was too embarassed to get back into bed.
"Come back to bed? It's still early." Oliver pleaded. Luckily, he invited me back to bed. I was still sleepy so I went back to bed and he snuggled with me.
I woke up with Oliver gone.
The first thing I did was check my phone. The time was 10:21 in the morning. Omg! I had slept in.
There was no missed call but there was one message.
O'Crowne: goodmorning baby. Sorry I didn't bother waking you up when I went to work. I made pancakes.
I replied.
Me: Thank you. Have a nice day at work. ð
I got out of bed. I mentally told myself that I needed to do something to blow off steam. I texted Grace if she was available to join me but to my dismay, she was away.
I have decided to go to the gym by myself. I know that Oliver has his own gym. But I wanted to be in a familiar space where I could just sweat it out and let go. Everything that has happened in the last few weeks has been wearing me down.
Oliver's place is unfamiliar when he wasn't there. So I changed my clothes, washed my face and got ready. I didn't bother showering. I already had a long shower last night. I went to my apartment first to get some stuff that I needed. I made sure I had pajamas this time.
I was about to go when I saw a note with the garage and front door key on the kitchen island.
Baby, use the keys in case you needed to go somewhere today.
- O
There was pancakes as well. I ate the pancakes he made and I was disappointed that he only had a coffee machine that uses coffee pods instead of a proper coffee machine. Gosh! Hashtag coffee is life!
But still I am grateful for this man. And off I went...
Oliver's POV
It was frantic at work. I haven't stopped since I turned up in this morning. I really needed a break so I leaned back and opened the news app on my phone. I was meaning to check how was the stock market today. To be specific, I wanted to make sure that the news yesterday didn't affect the value of my company.
When you're famous, people would notice you all the time. So when I opened the news app, I was again at the headlines. Heck! This time it was about me again with Macy going into my apartment building. That should help my case with the member of the board. But it's annoying how people has to invade your privacy and take photos of you without your permission.
Anyway, I diverted my concentration back to the work that's in front of me. I worked my ass off today. Lucky no one tried to bother me today or else they would get all the sh*ts. I hate being interrupted when I'm working. As usual, John was at his desk doing his job like he was suppose to.
It was almost 1PM when I realized that I haven't checked on Macy and she hasn't contacted me as well. I dialed her number. It was ringing but she didn't pick up. I ended the call and sent her a message.
Oliver: Everything alright with you? Sorry, I couldn't leave work. Make sure you eat lunch.
Aaaaaawife: all good. I'm actually at my apartment and I might be late later. ð
I didn't have to reply to that. I was disappointed that I won't see her until later but at the same time, I've also got a lot in my plate right now.
I asked John to order me lunch. I didn't want to leave the office.
I was flat out reviewing contracts and contacting people. I even ate my lunch while working.
I didn't realized it was already quarter to five when I checked the time. I signed the last paperwork and waited for the last meeting I had scheduled for the day.
I checked my phone. No messages, no missed calls.
I gave up and messaged Macy first. Again. I was annoyed that she didn't bother sending me anything. Not even telling me where she was or what time was she suppose to get home.
Me: are you home yet?
Aaaaaawife: not yet. I am about to go to the gym. ðââï¸
Me: i have a gym. And you know that you can use it right?!
I was getting really impatient at this point.
Aaaaaawife: no thank you. I want to go to my gym...
I was getting frustrated. I really wanted to see her when I get home.
Me: ???
Aaaaaawife: snap fitness. I'll see you when I finish. I'll buy dinner. ð
That was vague and I was not satisfied with her reply. Good thing I know where that gym is located. I heard one of the employees mentioned it before. It's apparently a gym for the rich people. It's also located near where I live. I don't know why people doesn't like having the convenience of working out at home.
Hallelujah! My 05:30 meeting ended at around 06:30PM.
I drove home still expecting that somehow, Macy changed her mind and went home. I don't know what got into me but it would really make me feel better if she was home.
I got home 10 minutes to 7PM. No signs of Macy. Oh the frustration! So I decided to change into my workout clothes and drove to the gym where Macy was.
I arrived at the gym and paid the fee. When I entered the workout area, it wasn't too bad. The equipments were lined up in order so people would know where to go. There were people but it wasn't overly crowded. But in saying that, I still prefer working out in the comforts of my home.
I went to check the treadmill area, I am not sexist but wouldn't girls usually prefer running? Macy was not there though. I walked back and went to the other side. That's when I saw Macy. I didn't approached her straight away. I had the urge to watch what she was doing first. Then I started to notice some women lingering around where I was. I didn't give them the satisfaction of me looking at them.
Macy looked so hot. I have never seen her like this. She was wearing a pink high waisted seamless short. It hugged her butt perfectly. She paired it with a seamless crop top. I could see the men throwing glances at her. Anger was building up inside me that I didn't even bothered looking what shoes she was wearing. She always had the best choices of footwear. Pun intended!
She did an impressive circuit. A circuit that not most girls would do regularly. Battle ropes, goblet squats, pull ups, jumping lunges, kettle bells and butterfly sit ups.
I saw one guy tried to approached her. Thank god her music was probably loud she didn't hear him so he walked away. Good for her!
She stood and walked towards her drinking bottle just near where the kettle bells were. She drunk whatever was in her drinking bottle. I walked towards her but she didn't noticed me. I tapped her back and she turned around. She was looking sexy as hell with the sweat rolling on her face down to her chest. I could see the front of her clothes were soaking wet, it actually outlined her boobs. I honestly don't know how to react. I was angry that other men was probably feasting their eyes looking at her. Looking at Macy, she is one that doesn't care about the people around her. My main goal was to show the men, all men, specially those that are here, that she was mine. I didn't care about anything else at this point.
I quickly wrapped my arms around her. With one arm over her back and the other supporting the back of her head. I didn't care if I got wet from her sweat. Heck, I didn't care if she smelled like sweat.
I kissed her torridly and forcefully and I lingered the kiss longer. Until I felt her pushing me back. The whole point was for everyone to know that this woman was mine.
I stepped back and let go of her. I could see a mixture of suprise and anger on her face. Then I noticed she wasn't wearing our wedding ring!!! And that made me more angry too!!!!
