The Plot

Chapter 27

The man watched the as she pulled out her chair to sit at the table next to his. He couldn't believe his luck; he didn't think he'd see her close up so soon.

"Ugh." She sighed blissfully. She tucked a few hair strands behind her ear; her immaculate wedding band shone under the light from the open-air dining. "It's been so long since we've had a night out-- even a weekend together. I'm glad we're doing this."

The woman's friends agreed. It seem to be the first time they've met in a while. The woman was even more beautiful and regal up close and personal. For the months he had been eyeing her from afar. Dolled up in a mustard yellow figure hugging dress and fine diamond jewelry, his beloved looked stunning as the first day he laid eyes on her.

She cut her hair. He realized. Anything she did, he was in favor of. It suits her. he thought. A few strands of hair fell forward as she was talking animatedly to her friends; she tucked the hair away again, showing off her immaculate wedding ring. The man scoffed and looked away. He hated it.

For her, he could do even better than the prick she calls a husband. The man felt his mood dampen despite the joyous atmosphere in the lounge. Just the thought of her being romantically involved with someone and it wasn't him angered him. But he didn't worry too much. Him following her around wasn't in vain. The husband was rarely around. She was always alone, especially at the house. Who knows, she might just be craving some company since her husband wasn't around.

The man smiled to himself. Yes, she would definitely fall in love the minute she sees me. He started to think of the lavish lifestyle he could live; grand mansions, fast cars, and money at his disposal. Yes, she was his golden ticket and he was going to get her by any means. He turned in her direction again; Gabriella and her friends raised a toast as they had gotten their dinner and proceeded to eat.

Yes, I must get her.

Andrew

"Oh man, I'm so tired." It was a few minutes to three to two in the morning when they checked into the penthouse they would be using throughout the weekend.

Andrew quickly found a room and set his luggage near the bedside. He was tired; even though he slept during the flight, he still managed to feel groggy once they had landed. Albeit, his day was more busy than usual- he didn't mind the sex though. He smirked to himself, That was fun.

All work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy; the trip should do him some good. It was nice, so far, hanging out with his friends and forgetting all about his workload and everything else at home. He huffed as he sat on the corner chair and undressed to shower quickly before bed. When he and the guys were much younger, there was no time for sleep. They would be out on the town despite the time to see what the city had to offer. But now, they were more concerned with messing up their sleep routine more than anything.

How life has changed.

After changing, the guys explored the penthouse and made sure to secure the place and then retired to bed.

My most beloved, I miss you. My heart aches for you. And to know you're close yet so far... leaves an unexplainable feeling within me. Since the day I laid eyes on you, I knew you were the one for me. You're so beautiful. Every time I look at you, I know you're worth waiting for; you're kind, gentle, affectionate... there's not enough words to describe how beautiful you are inside and out.
