get ready then,” he replies.
I only nod in response as he takes another drink of his coffee before leaving it on the counter and heading up stairs. I grab myself a cup and pour the hot caffeinated liquid into it and also adding a splash of delicious creamer. I take it with me to the downstairs office switching on the computer to log-in to my email. The one thing he doesn’t have access to and the only thing he doesn’t know I have. It’s my only form of communication with other people that he otherwise wouldn’t allow. I have one unread message from my friend Zoey and I open it knowing Travis is in the shower and will still be a bit.
Steph!
I’m going to the market today and was wondering if you want to meet up? I hate that I can’t reach you on a phone so I hope you get this message before the day is over. I’m going around noon so email me back and let me know! Haven’t seen you forever and miss you!
Zoey
I quickly email her back saying I’ll meet her there and then log out of my email, deleting the history and shutting down the computer. I grab my coffee and head for the family room. Grabbing a book from our enormous built-in bookshelf, I sit down on one of the dark fabric couches and sip my coffee as I open the novel to the first chapter. This is only for a front. I hate lying to him, but the last thing I need today is for him to yell at me or tell me I can’t go, so I sit here drinking my coffee, waiting patiently for him to leave the house. It doesn’t take long before I smell his cologne and feel his hand on my shoulder. I sit up turning around and he’s wearing one of his black suits with a beautiful red tie.
“I’m leaving now. I’ll see you tonight,” he says leaning in and kissing my forehead.
“Love you.”
He turns leaving out the front door and as I hear the door close I jump up peering out one of the front windows watching him enter his black car and drive away. I wait a few moments before darting upstairs to change. It’s already eleven thirty and I’m not sure that I’m going to have enough time to walk there. I throw on a white summer dress with white sandals and toss my hair up in a ponytail. I put on a little bit of makeup before grabbing my purse and heading out the door. Running around to the side of the mansion to the separate guest house where Thomas stays, I knock on the door hoping he’ll answer. I watch as the door knob turns and Thomas is standing here in shorts and a t-shirt. The sun is shining and today is his day off which explains his comfortable attire. He looks normal, cute even. His eyes are filled with concern as he looks me over.
“Is everything alright, Mrs. Barnes?”
“Yes, of course, Thomas! I was just wondering if you could possibly drive me to the market today. I know it’s your day off and I’ve never asked this of you, but I really need this.”
“Of course, Mrs. Barnes. I’m just surprised you haven’t asked me sooner. I would be glad to take you and I can pick you back up as well.”
“Great! Thank you so much!”
“Let me grab the keys.” He leaves the door still open as he walks back into the house and returns shortly with keys in his hand.
He walks me around to his garage and opens it. Opening the back door of the black sedan, I slide into the leather seats. I watch as he walks around to his side of the vehicle and gets in the car.
“Thomas?”
“Yes, Mrs. Barnes?”
“Can we please make sure this doesn’t get back to Travis?”
“Of course, Mrs.
