Chapter 11

WEIRD FEELING

"KOBE!"

Samantha yelled as Kobe walked away from us.  He didn't bother to look back because there was a look of anger on his face.

"As for you, are you so flirtatious!? Are you taking advantage of Kobe's drinking just to give in to your flirtation?"  Samantha's eyes widened at me.

"You know Samantha, no matter what you say to me and you get angry over and over. I don't care, because whether we do something or not. You don't care about that because Kobe and I are married" I replied annoyed because my ears are already irritated by the force of his mouth.

"How dare you to say that!? You bitch ---"

I held her hand tightly so that she would slap me.  She tried to get out of my grip on her.

"I'm not going to let you hurt me again, Samantha,"  I spoke threateningly and fell I let go of her hand and closed the door.  I even saw Samantha's pissed-off look.

I lay on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling.

Is there any hope that Kobe will love me?  Samantha, I know she won't stop.

I thought and emphatically closed my eyes, I don't know what time I was visited by drowsiness because of the thought.

------

The next day I suddenly got up and had a headache. I got up immediately and picked up my cellphone, put it in my clothes pocket.  I slowly walked out the door and felt the surroundings.  I could feel the silence, even as I passed Kobe's room was quiet.

I went downstairs and I heard a rattle in the kitchen, my pace quickened because I thought Kobe was there.  When I went inside, I caught up with Samantha who was busy with her food while one leg was raised.

"You're still here,"  I said as she caressed me and raised an eyebrow at me.  I ignored that and took a cup to brew coffee.

"Yeah, I'm in the mood now because I had a good night's sleep with your husband."  She replied teasing.

I didn't like what Samantha said and I felt jealous, but I didn't notice.

"He also apologized, because you allegedly seduced him. So, I forgive him immediately. Then, he kisses me. Kobe loves me, anyway. He left early so he said I'll just do everything.  what I want here in your house. "  Smiling she added.

"Ok,"  I answer only after I brew coffee.

"For sure, you've affected you just don't want to show up. But don't worry, I won't be here long because I don't want to be with you."

I didn't answer and went out the door, I went straight to the pool and there I planned to have coffee.  When I sat down, I took out my phone but what Samantha said suddenly came to my mind.

Did Kobe and Samantha have last night? Thinking and I was just hoping.

I felt the edge of my tears so I immediately wiped them away so as not to fall completely.  I need to maybe leave here even if I don't say goodbye to them especially Kobe.  I looked at my phone and only Kobe's mom and dad's numbers were saved here.

I just stared at the phone with the background of Kobe's picture.  Until suddenly it rang.  I'm wondering because it's an unknown number.

Wait who is this?

I touched the screen and pressed it to my ear.

"H-hello?"  I answered hesitantly and nervously.

"I already miss your voice."

I was stunned and even more surprised because that voice was familiar to me.

"How are you? It's me Nicko."  Laughing answer it on the other line.

I suddenly smiled because it was Nicko.

"It's you, wait where are you--"

"Are you doing anything? Can you join me now?"

"Ha? Where is it?"  I asked hesitantly because I suddenly thought we would meet today because of what happened to us that night.

"Yes, I hope so, but if you're busy, it's okay."  Answer it.

"N-No, O-Okay I'll go with you,"  I answered quickly because Nicko was somehow good to me, then I don't know if I have any fun when I'm with him.  It's as if I'm having fun and losing the sadness I feel.

"Really? Thanks. I'll pick you up there, I'll be there in about fifteen minutes." He said and I feel excitement for him.

"Okay all right, I'll fix it,"  I answered and turned off my phone, but I didn't ask where we were going.

I quickly went inside and brought the cup to the kitchen, when I came out I saw Samantha coming down the stairs.  She wears a sexy red dress

"I enjoyed it especially last night, bye Mrs. Camilla Herrera."  smiling goodbye is teasing yet.

I let her go and I continued to climb upstairs, I went straight to the room and hurried into the bathroom.  My phone almost fell because it came out of my clothes pocket.  I put it on the unreadable, I took a shower and I estimate I only took a shower for about five minutes and came out of the bathroom immediately.

Wearing fitted denim pants with a hole design and a black t-shirt.  I paired it with brown flat sandals.  I noticed in the mirror that my skin had turned white and I was getting fuller.  My phone rang again and I answered it immediately.

"I'm already here at the dining, the guard is letting me in."

"Okay, just wait for me to come down,"  I answered and looked at the time.  He's been here in exactly fifteen minutes.

I reached for my shoulder bag and when I saw it I put my phone in it.  When I went downstairs I saw Nicko who was wearing was very elegant wearing it so I looked at what I was wearing.

"Wait Nicko, it looks like I'm out of fit with you."  Embarrassed I told him and I intend to turn back.

"Nope, it's ok, and how nice you are now. That's ok, come on."  He smiling at me.

The forced smile made me nod especially when Nicko thinks of me, it's still weird for me to have a look like president because of his clothes.

"Where are we going, Nicko?"  Later I asked when I got in his car.

"I have a new opening restaurant now because Adrian can't, so I thought I'd just include you,"  he replied.

"Really? You're a really good businessman, you're still young but you have a lot of business and property."  Amazed I said.

"For the future, maybe I'll get married suddenly. It's better to be prepared."  It's a joke.

I laughed as well as he did until we were calm during the trip.  It didn't take long for us to get to what he was saying, but I felt even more disillusioned because there were so many people and I think it was all rich.

"Come on."  He said.

I can't step on my foot because I'm embarrassed to even more and I'm the only one wearing this.

"Sir Nicko, you're already there. Mr. Templanza and Mr. Rogelio are already there."

The man who approached said that he was in the office.  Nicko just nodded here and the man left immediately.

"Let's go in." There it is again, Nicko.

I was stunned and my heart suddenly pounded as Nicko held my hand as pulled me inside.  I just stared behind him and dropped my eyes on the hand we were holding.

Wait, why do I feel this way?  Nicko, why are you like that to me?

"This is Camilla, my special guest."

I didn't realize that Nicko was introducing me to the people there, I also felt that he was carrying me.  But I just let him, I just smile at everything he introduces.  Until I heard Nicko called to start cutting the ribbon.

"Don't leave my side,"  Nicko whispered in my ear and took my hand again to get closer to him.

Finished cutting the ribbon and picture taking that everyone was with me, most of it was still there with me, Nicko.

"Are you tired?"

I looked at him as we sat here at the table and had food in front of us.

"No, it's just a little weird,"  I answered weakly and I drank ice tea.

"Weird? Why?"  Nicko asked seriously and looked straight into my eyes.

I feel like I can dissolve that thought so I averted my eyes.

"To the people here, because. They all seem to have something to say in life."  I replied nervously.  I heard his sigh, Nicko.

"Later, I'll take you home. I know Kobe looking for you,"  It said and drank some water.

It's good if that Kobe is looking for me, it was fun last night.

I think as I look at the glass with only ice tea that is half full.

-------

"Are you sure you're not going inside?"  I asked Nicko.  Because I went down here opposite the gate.  I just invited him because he might think so.  It must be six o'clock at night so it's a bit dark.

"Yup, go ahead and come inside. Rest assured I'm going somewhere now."  Smiling answers it.

I just nodded at him and slowly turned around.

"Camilla."

I turned to him and saw a serious face.

"Thank you."  He said and his car started.

I just nodded and I could see Nicko's car moving away, I decided to go inside and the guard greeted me.  Arriving at the front door and opening it I saw Kobe who seemed shocked to see me.

"K-Kobe."  I was surprised and took big steps when he approached me and suddenly hugged me tightly.

"I thought you left me looking for you earlier, where did you go?"

I feel like time has stopped and the surroundings because of what I heard from, Kobe.
