Elias, The Loving Husband ---

Chapter 1:/

 

I don't know why I do it. For the thrill? The feel of it? Or possibly, maybe, get away with it? The money, greed? Maybe I'm just greedy, not thinking about the feeling of others. Ha. Like I care. Every girl has their problems.

I took a long inhale of my cigarette and tapped the ashes away at the tip of the coffee table. I was at a cafe shop, outside with a newspaper on the table with a cappuccino at my side. It was sunny out, not a cloud in the sky with coffee in the air.

Every girl has their problems... why should I expel mine at the expense of others? No, no. I looked up from the newspaper and fixed my sunglasses. It not that I won't fix my problems for others, no. It's more of a why should I change for the very people that make me this way. That make me want to run into another man's arms. That push me away, make me want more but does not give it in the end. I won't change for people like that. If I do ever get caught, I would not care... my ends are justified. Every woman wants to be loved by a man the right way...

Even if it means to find that love in a wrong way. What I am doing, this, I know is wrong, which tells me I'm still sane but what I don't get is why I find every man so attractive. Well, not every. I laughed to myself at the very thought of it. I mean, I won't sleep with the male population, I'm not a whore. What I meant to say is every time a man drives me away, I find the next to be highly irresistible. Maybe that's the problem... I don't know. I don't want to know. I don't want to sit here and make myself think I'm crazy. Cause I'm not.

I left a tip for the waiter and left the cafe shop. I drove to my semi-expensive home that I shared with my husband, Elias. He was such a powerful man. Ugh, how I loved how powerful he was. Every corner of his life he had control over. His career, his side of the family, the household, me. Me. Hm, he wasn't a control freak, he just likes order. I finally reached home and called out to see if Elias was home.

"ELIAS!" I yelled. I heard shuffling come from outside then the sliding door open and close.

"Hey baby, I was outside doing some work," he came over to me and kissed me. "It feels amazing outside, do you want to drive out to the lake house?"

"For the week? No, no, I have work just like you," I said quietly.

"So what, just call out of work. You're at the top, you're absence shouldn't make much of a difference." he finished. I thought for a while. Having a getaway with my husband sounded nice. It was much needed too. I loved my husband, we had so little time together.

I smiled at Elias, "Let's go to the lake house." I finally decided. I caressed his face and left to go a little bit of stuff. We owned  the lake house so we had clothes over there already. Before I went upstairs, Elias grabbed my hand and turned me towards him. His face close so close to mine. Hisbreath smelled so good, like mint. His eyes showed me nothing but love.

"I love you Kara. Don't forget it." I smiled and blushed.

"I know, why are you reminded me something I already know?"

"I just feel like we're drifting apart... do you still love me?" He eyes was half filled with love, half filled with worry.

My lips parted, then I pulled him into a tight hug. "Of course I still love you." I whispered into his ear. He then pulled away and gave me his brightest smile. "I'll go get the car ready." I nodded in response and went up the stairs and into the bathroom.

I shut the door behind me and breathed heavily. I walked over to the sink and splashed cold water on my face then looked into a mirror. What's going on? Don't I still love him? Why is he sounding different? He wasn't like this 2 months ago. He was vulgar to me, always telling me to leave him to his work.

I finshed gathering a few essentials, like bath soap, accessories, movies, chargers; our lake house didn't have everything. When I got into the car Elias turned to me, once again with worry in his eyes.

"Look, I'm sorry about these past 2 months... I know that's what you may be thinking. I feel horrible for treating you that way. A busing you. It's not like me at all and you know that. Let me make it up to you, okay?"

"By taking me to our lake house? Is that your way of apologizing?" I said colder than I meant it to be.

He sighed "No," he blinked a few times before speaking again, "Let's renew our vows." He looked at me with eyes filled with sorrow. I bit the bottom of my lip then looked at him.

"That's sounds like a fantasic idea baby." we both smiled big smiles and kissed passionately.
