Chapter three.

Oh what a day. I had then reached a point where I was achieving my dreams fast. I had seen all of my aspirations coming to life. I was seated in the dressing room as the makeup artist was working on my face to make sure that I looked decent enough for my fans. The room was filled with all these staff members moving back and forth. I definitely did not know all of their names. I mean, it was a TV show set and I was the main host of the show itself.

 

“All done.” Maria, the makeup artist said.

 

“Thanks.” I replied as she stood and left me there to warm up for the show.

 

The mirror was lit all around showing me how I looked exactly. I was still dashingly handsome if I could say so myself. It was living proof because judging by the women in my dms at the time, I knew. I took the note book that was on the table there and confirmed my lines for that specific show. It was going to be a special show celebrating the people’s choice award we just won for the show.

 

“Hey, Charlie, you’ll be on in ten. You should probably go on set now.” Said my director who was standing at the door.

 

“Okay Andy. I’ll be there.” I replied.

My phone received a message. I opened it and it was a certain girl named Anna. I frankly didn’t even remember her, it was only because I saved her number. She said.

 

/Hi, I just wanted to tell you that I really miss you and I enjoyed every second of our encounter last time. I want to see you again. Call me/

 

I looked at it and smiled and then went on set.

 

Ten minutes later…

 

“Well, hello everyone,” I started with an emphatic tone, making sure that I was as welcoming as I could,” welcome to another great episode of did they cheat? I am happy to see you here for some spicy and entertaining content that will shock you, make you laugh and also make you go crazy. I am you’re host as always Charlie Brown and before we got to all the good stuff, I would like to thank all of you so much for supporting us. We have just won another award for the best TV show on the people’s choice for the second year in a row. What a run it has been. I didn’t have a chance to be there and I apologize for that and s I would like to give a small speech. I would like to thank God for all this blessings as always. I would also like to thank my beautiful wife who is at home, Samantha, I love you baby, we’ll celebrate tonight. And to all of the crew who make this show possible especially my director and friend Andy back there. I always thank you for being with me since day one. Anyway, I’m about to cry now so I’ll stop. On to today’s episode. We have a fire new episode about Veronica and Ken. Now Veronica has been seeing Kevin for three years now and is wondering if she is wasting her time with him because he is it willing to take then next step. Now the problem is she has been seeing some symptoms of an STD and she thinks he gave it to her. She also has seen him flirting with other girls and is half sure that he is cheating and so she just wants proof and the truth. Confusing, right? So we linked up with her to see what exactly she was feeling and to find out, IS HE CHEATING? See you after the story.”

 

“And the story is running Charlie you can take a break now.” Andy said in my ear.

 

I got of set to chair near there waiting for the episode to end because it was going to take about 25 minutes to air and it would include some breaks. I took out my phone again and found some messages form the girl from earlier. She sent me some really tempting photos of herself in her bed begging me to come over. She was now half way to convincing me.

 

My phone rang as I was texting her to reply. “Hello.” Samantha, my wife greeted. “Hello.” I replied in a low tone.

“So congratulations on the award. I could have told you in person if you still came home to me.” She complained.

“I told you I have work. We shoot every time these days. This is work.” I excused myself knowing full well I was lying.

 

“I Know, I know. Never mind. Will you come home today or you have more work?” she asked.

 

Before I responded my phone vibrated showing more messages. It was explicit photos, the girl had now fully convinced me to go to her.

 

“Are you still there Charlie?” Samantha asked.

 

“Yeah, I am. Uh, actually I have some work I need to attend to. I want to work on some new ideas for the show. I really need to get this proposal done. It is guaranteed to let me work less time and allow me to come home to you for longer times.” I continued to lie. This one was guaranteed to work.

 

“Okay then. I’ll see you tomorrow then. I miss you.” She said in a slow sexy tone. “Okay. Goodnight.” I replied coldly.

I didn’t have any more interest in my wife anymore. I kept her with me because, it was a more desirable image to the public.

 

“The episode is half way.” Andy said.

 

“Can I just prerecord the ending and then leave because I need to go.” I asked. “Why not? You need to celebrate. Go ahead.” Andy said.

I was glad he accepted because I was planning to go early because I was going to spend the whole night awake celebrating if you know what I mean. I recorded the last scene and then got out and went into my blue Mercedes. I drove off to the address that the girl left me to meet her in the hotel.

 

I made sure to park a few blocks away so that no one could know I was around. She registered a different name for me so that I could get in unnoticed. They didn’t have an issue letting me in. It’s as if they knew it was the place of infidelity.

 

I got to the room and knocked. She opened the door looking all sexy. “I knew you would come.” She said.

I kissed her deeply and we got into the room.

Chapter two.

The door was almost falling off with the amount of knocking that was happening. My head almost burst out.

 

“Fuck off!” I shouted but whoever was there didn’t stop.

 

I had to get my behind up and move to the door and open up or this guy would take it all the way down.

 

“I’m coming. “ I said as I half opened my eyes to go look for my robe to get to the door fast or this guy would make it more badly on my ears.

 

I took my robe and started to walk out of my room. All of a sudden the person on the door stopped. Just when I had even gotten out of bed just to get to the door. I came slowly to the front of my apartment and opened the door. Weirdly enough, it seemed like the one who was there before had already left and decided to go away. I looked down the hallways just to make sure that no one was around and then I noticed my mail on the floor. Well that had to be the mail being brought to me. And then I remembered exactly why there could be that type of knock at my door at that kind of time in the morning.

 

I took the mail and went back into the apartment. I went to the fridge and took out some water. I put it in a glass and started to see the letters. Let me tell you why I knew that all these letters would come to Molly Mendes at this time of day. I have been having financial problems. See I lost my job as an assistant about four to five months ago. It was basically because my boss was an asshole and he wanted his way with me. Since then my savings have been used up in maintaining my life and I haven’t been getting enough by editing for Patrick and so my bills

Have been piling up. I had to clear some of them soon or I would be in very big trouble sooner that I thought. I immediately felt my head having a migraine. I needed to find a solution quick. I decided to go to Patrick’s house and see if I could get a loan from him or something.

 

Later on…

 

I arrived at his house later on and found the door open. He lived at am much better neighborhood than mine and was quite comfortable because his channel wasn’t his only way on making money. Finding his door open was strange because he was too sensitive about his equipment getting lost and so he never was this careless. I decided to walk in and then I heard voices of people arguing in a very loud manner. It sounded like it was coming from the living room upstairs and so I decided to go up and see. At that point I was sure if I was just getting into a fight that wasn’t mine and all but I did it anyway. I got up there and found that Patrick was arguing with his ex-girlfriend.

 

“This was always your problem. You never took anything in our life seriously. I always thought of our stuff seriously but you always took me or granted and now look at us. At Least think about your son. “She said to him.

 

“How is this about you? For the record all I did was test your loyalty. And also I know you are just using my son to get something out of me and trust me you won’t get it. “He replied while looking away.

 

“Oh! So you think that lowly of me this days huh? I seriously can’t believe you. All I’m asking is for you to care for me and your child but I think it will not work. Say goodbye to him because I’m leaving and you will never see him again. “She said before grabbing he bag and beginning to walk in my direction.

 

She seemed very angry. She looked like a lioness who has had an unsuccessful hunt and has been injured in the process. She stood for a second and looked at me.

 

“Uh, hi?”  I said.

 

She looked at me from head to toe and then at Patrick and then walked out. Patrick did nothing to stop her. I said nothing for a few seconds until we heard her bang the front door as if she wanted to tear it to pieces.

 

“Uh, I’m sorry for coming in like that. I didn’t mean to. I just found the door open and so I let myself in. Had I known I would have stayed outside? “I explained.

 

Patrick didn’t even care. He went over to his fridge and grabbed a beer. He went back to the couch and began to drink it.

 

I came over and sat next to him. “Are you okay?” I asked.

He stayed silent for some seconds giving me the impression that he wanted to be alone. I stood up and slowly started to walk away.

 

“I should have never tested her. “He said. I turned around and came back.

“What test?” I asked.

 

“You most probably never saw it because I took it down from my channel but it was among the first episodes I had ever posted. I thought it would be funny for the guy who exposes cheaters to actually test his girl to see if she is loyal. It went well but as soon as she found out she went crazy. It was funny that I set her up you know, “he narrated as he took down the beer like it was juice, “because she had not yet told me that she was actually pregnant with our first child. She was so disappointed that she broke things off and took off. I had never seen her again until now. Our child is now one year old and I haven’t ever seen him. It hurts you know. “

 

I felt sorry for him as I saw tears rolling down his cheeks. I didn’t even know what to tell him after all that he had just confessed. It could wait but as for that time I had to just cool down and be a supportive friend to my boss. I could see the sin in his eyes and I wanted it to go away before telling him of my problems.

DEDICATION

              I   would like to appreciate everyone who had helped me through this journey, God Bless, enjoy. I would also like to dedicate this to my friend Kevin, who died the same month as the drop of this book. Rest well brother

Chapter one

I looked at the bathtub. It looked so nice but so dangerous at the same time. It had been a while since I had been there. I walked closer to the water. I closed my eyes as I will always love you played from my record player. I had a beautiful blue towel on. I put my hands on the water and felt it. Ouch! It was too hot. I turned on the cold water to cool it down a bit. I moved my hands aimlessly around the water just to wait for the exact temperature I wanted it to be. It was a very specific remedy which I needed after having such a long day.

 

I looked at the rose petals I had put on the water as they floated around at the touch of my hands. I couldn't believe I had put rose petals on the water as if I was waiting for my man to have a bath tub moment with me.

 

I took off the towel and looked down at my bodily features. Was I too unentertaining to men? I grabbed my up and coming belly with both my hands. Or was I too intimidating? I looked into the mirror that was at the side of my bathroom. I looked at myself and remembered about the art of self-worth. I for sure knew my worth so I wasn't going to waste time with any man.

 

I got into the bathtub and looked outside of the big window that was looking down on the city of California. It looked amazing. I inherited it from my uncle. He was quite wealthy but that's beside the point. I was really frustrated that day.

I got into the water which instantly started to caressing my body after it wrapped around it like a furry blanket. “Ouw! I could get used to this!" I said as I reached out to the glass of red wine which I had placed at the side of the tub. I slowly smelt it.

 

It felt so heavenly with the view of the city and the bright moon lighting up the corners of my studio apartment. I didn't have much space but this was all I needed. Just when I was about to really enjoy my time there I heard the noise from the phone infiltrating my peace. It rang for a second but I ignored it by the virtue of my tired self.

 

I gasped put after it stop ringing. Now I could get back to my relax therapy. I went on to take another sip of the wine I had but my phone started to ring.

 

"Fuck! Can't anyone in this place have some peace for God's sake?" I yelled as I got out of my tub and wrapped my towel back on.

 

I was mad I got out of my comfort zone but I was glad I did. It was my boss.

 

"Oh hello Patrick. I'm sorry I was taking a shower." I said still irritated by the fact that he called this late in the night.

 

"Hi, Molly. I'm sorry for calling this late but I just remembered that we haven't edited the last video completely. We have to post it soon or it might affect our views." He explained.

 

I began to put my towel back on and walk back to the couch.

 

"Oh, I almost forgot about it. I should get to it then. Could you send it over?" I answered.

 

"Now? Are you sure?" He said."Yeah, I'm not doing much anyway." I said as I looked back at my tub which was busy letting off some steam after we just cut off our time together.

 

"Really? I am so happy you said that. I need to go take care of some stuff with Mellissa. She is still acting up after the incident." He explained.

 

"Okay, send it. Goodnight." I replied. "Cool." He replied and hung up.

I was used to it.

 

Let me explain. Patrick is my boss as you already know. I have been working for him as he owns a YouTube channel by the name Pa- tricks. It's a cheesy name I know but that was all we had for then. He was getting popular actually, he had seven hundred thousand subscribers.

 

I stood up and looked at my bathroom one last time because I knew quite well that by the time I would be finished with editing the video, it would be too late and I would be heading to my other love, my bed.

I got dressed in my pajamas and tied my hair back and came to my laptop. I waited for the video to be sent by Patrick but it took a while and it gave my time to also look around my small place. It was quite a mess off late. It had all this papers written all around most of them cut up. It actually looked like a guy's house. No offense but that mess was really bad. Nothing was neat because of the past few days I was just coming in to do work and got out without getting any time to fix it.

 

My laptop made the notification noise. Patrick already sent the video over email. I opened it and began to watch it. We majored in loyalty tests, whereby we would pick citizens who wanted to testify their partners were loyal or doubted their partner’s loyalty and so they call us. We basically set up a situation to test if the partner was really cheating or not.

 

This one was one of the scariest one we had done. It was really bad because it resulted in a violent moment.

 

So a girl in Chicago had called us to test if her boyfriend was cheating but it turns out he actually was and she knew it before we reached there. She wanted to catch him. When we discussed with her we wanted her to be calm and not do anything crazy. She agreed but as soon as we brought her and her boyfriend into a confrontation she took a baseball bat and hit him in the head. She retaliated by almost throwing her down a pool. It actually really scared me. I had never seen such a situation before. I had seen so many cheating situations but it never became this bad. I paused it and sat down to think for a while.

 

This could be the reason I wasn't with anyone. I had seen so many men cheat that I didn't have any hope in finding any love. I had lost all hope. All of the guys who tried ran away when they knew my job because they said I was really insecure. That was actually why my mom always told me I wouldn't get love if I continued with that line of work. I got online and saw Charlie brown was trending again.

 

I tapped his name to see what exactly happened. He had just won an award for best television show. Fuck! It pissed my off so much! "Aargh!" I shouted as I banged my table.
