Chapter 13 SUSPENSE

" Wait, Are you going to your mistress again that is the reason you are in such a hurry or do you fear that your honeymoon will be distracted if you get late to the airport? " Isabella asked the man who was dressing himself up. 
" I don't know, What you are talking about. "Stated not disturbed by what he heard. 
" Wow, you don't know what I am talking about, Would you mind explaining to me then what you were conversing with a lady named Cindy at the late night? " Isabella inquired
" What do you mean by Cindy? " Megan inquired confused as he turned to look at the lady who was still standing at the entrance of the lavatory and drips of water were flowing out of her body. 
" I heard your whole conversation, Even if we sleep in separate rooms, You should respect our matrimonial home. " Isabella stated
" Now I understand what you are implying. " Megan stated
" What am I implying? " Isabella inquired
"It's about last night right," Megan inquired
" I see you have a good recollection. " Isabella stated as she crossed her hands on her chest
" Yesterday, I got home after a long day and week and I was craving to have a good rest. I had just successfully pulled myself a trip in one day from different companies and was looking forward to a very restful weekend. I made my way here and since there was no one home but myself I called it a night early. I took my shower and I laid my tired body on the mattress where I just dozed off.
I don't know at around what time of the night I was woken up, like much, much later by my phone buzzing. I have this habit of just answering my phone especially if it wakes me up. It's my default muscle memory and thought it would be one of the company CEOs who had rejected my proposal and had thought about it and had decided to give me a try. 
So, I slid the green icon up put it to my ear, and took my response
" Hello. "
 ' halo, Mike " The caller end replied in a soft voice
" Who is this? " I asked curiously 
'Mike!' screamed a woman from the other end.
"Mike, where are you? Mike, How could you leave me in the club and fled away to f*ck my best friend?" 
' First of all guys, I'm not Mike. Never have, never will be. It takes me a couple of seconds to first get my bearings and also find where the duck (read it with an 'f') I was. My first thought is 'Don't tell me I sleepwalked into a bar and flirted the carpet from under one girl's feet while at the same time, flirting the pants off her best friend. This thought here wasn't even remotely plausible. I mean, who could be that good?
But I had to be sure, so, before I answered or rather denied her accusations, I patted the space on the bed next to me. You know, just to make sure there wasn't a woman next to me who was not my wife. 
Satisfied that I was indeed alone, I gathered all the kindness and politeness in me and said 
'Hey, I don't know whatever it is that's going on between you and Mike but I’m not him.' 
" You even dare to deny your voice." The lady cursed and that hit me back with
I'm about to tell her one last time that I wasn't Mike. That she was talking to Martin the founder of Green Wine Company and this guy whose body was on the verge of shutting down from fatigue. A guy who desperately needed to lie down and have a rest after a long day of exhaustion. I don't like being shouted at, wait! Who the hell did she think she was talking to? Ignore that question, she thought she was talking to Mike.
On the other hand, I'm a nice person, I love life and I love loving other people's lives. I thought to myself like 'I tried to warn you darling' and then went like 'Hey baby, I'm sorry. Why are you so upset?' in the calmest and sexiest voice I could master in such a short notice.
'What!? F*ck you, Mike!! " The lady retorted
"Why am I so upset? Are you kidding me?!" I thought to myself I almost cursed her *ss right back but then again, I was already fully awake by then. No way I was going to let my sleep go to waste for nothing. So, I went like
 " Listen, sweetie, I'm sorry about all the confusion with your best friend. First of all, I don't even like her." I stated profoundly 
" You don't like her? What do you think I am? A stupid fool? I saw you two kissing!" The lady stated from the caller's end 
''You saw us kissing? Nuuh babe. That's where you got it all wrong. Your friend put her lips on me, I didn't kiss her back. That's like she's the one who kissed me, I didn't kiss her." I replied
"Really? You think I'm that stupid!?" she cursed out irritated
" Nope, not at all. I don't think you're stupid. Listen, instead of yelling over the phone, why don't you come over so we can yell at each other in person and probably naked?" I stated since I was on the verge of anger 
This seemed to take her by surprise for she didn't talk for a few seconds
"Halo!? Are you still there babe?" I asked after I noted that I had gone too far with my words. 
.... After a few more seconds...
" Yeah, I'm here. I'm not coming over. I know Cindy is with you." she stated keeping her voice cool. 
"Well, you don't know that for sure. There's only one way to find out. Come over and I'll make it up to you." I started
...another pause... Then,
"I don't know about that." She said. This time there was a change in her demeanor. A certain calmness in her voice. I knew she was buying it, just a little push and she would be on her way here (wherever 'here' was).
"Listen, Hun, take an Uber and come home, I'll pay when you get here. Sounds good?" I nudged to her to get her response
"Uhm ok, I'll come. But I better not find that b**ch when I get there." She stated in control 
"She's not here, I promise. You just come." I assured her.
"Ok, see you in a few." She said and then hung up the call. 
A few minutes later, I looked at her number. Thought of what she was going through right then and the things she was going to go through when she got to Mike's house. Also, I thought of Cindy, I knew that their friendship was on its deathbed. But again, none of that was any of my business. Like I said, I was just a guy, an exhausted guy who desperately needed to sleep. With that said, I switched off my phone and was most probably asleep before my head hit my pillow.
" Before you ask me if I got to call the innocent girl to ask her what happened. I was never even going to call her. It's just she destroyed my peace I needed a payback. Are you satisfied now darling? " Martin inquired before a knock interrupted them.
