Claiming Back My Ex-Wife

ALEXA

I open my eyes to see my handsome husband is lying beside me. I smile at him and then kiss his cheek.

He told me he loved me so many times when we made love last night, and I was so happy to know that his feelings towards me don't even change until now.

Just like how we said in our vows, till death do us apart.

I sit up and then look around for my clothes. When I see my clothes, I wear it then walks to the bathroom.

I take a shower for about ten minutes then walk out with a towel wrap around my naked body. I walk to our walk-in closet and pick the outfit for today. I just pick black leggings with a white shirt.

Then, I just let my hair down and let it dry on its own. Taking a shower in the morning very refreshing. I like it when the cold drip of water roll down to my whole body.

The shivers makes me satisfied. I hope I am not the only one.

After I'm done, I look at the time and smile. I still have enough time to make Elijah his breakfast. I tiptoe to the door because I don't want to wake him up yet.

He might be still tired from yesterday. I walk downstairs and then got into the kitchen.

I decided to make his favourite breakfast which is pancakes. Well, at first he doesn't like it this much, but he said when he first time tries mine, he totally in love with pancakes.

I know he just said that because he loves me and wants to make me happy but I do think my pancake is delicious. I make it quickly because he might already wake up and ready for work.

After a few minutes, I'm finally done and I bring the plates to put it on the table. I put various toppings that he likes which are chocolate syrup, honey, and whip cream.

I wait for him at the table. A moment later, I can smell the sensation of the perfume of my husband. The scent that I have been smelling for years now.

I saw him walking down in his Armani looking handsome as always. "Hey baby. Good morning," I walk to him and peck his lips. "Hmm morning." He said while adjusting his watch.

I look at him smiling like an idiot because I fall in love with him more when I look at him. I mean who doesn’t. Look at him, he is so hot and handsome and most important part is that he is my husband.

"I already make you pancakes. Let's go," I grab his hand but then I stop knowing that he takes his hand back.

"Why?" I ask looking at him weirdly. He rarely refuses to eat breakfast with me.

"I need to be hurried because I have a meeting in 30 minutes." He said and just walk past me to the door.

"But I already make you some pancakes which is your favourite. Can't you at least eat it even if it only one bite?" I said in low tone hoping he will agree and eat breakfast with me.

"I never ask you to make it. You can't blame me..." I was quite shocked when he said to me like that like he never rejects my pancakes but this time is the first time he did.

Why is he acting so harsh to me today? Have I made something wronged and I didn't realize it last night? I don't think so. Maybe he really need to be hurry for his meeting.

"Well-"

"Oh before I forget, I will go to London this evening for a few days. I don't know when I am coming back. If there nothing important, please don’t call me. I might be so busy there because of the new contract and so. So, yeah I need to go now." Before I could say anything, he got into his car and drove off.

I stand there and look at his car slowly fading away. I sighed and prevent my tears to come out. He's going to London for a few days' means he will not be eating breakfast with me for a few days.

What concerns me is he didn't bring any suitcase to put his clothes or anything, he just brings his bag that he put files in there that's it. I know he is loaded but that doesn’t mean he will always going to buy a new clothes for business trip.

That would be a waste since he has a lot of it. Or maybe he do have an emergency suitcase anywhere in his private plane. Rich people always do that.

I walk inside the house and make my way to the dining room. I look at all the pancakes on the table. I take a seat and start to take the pancakes and eat it. I eat and eat it.

Maybe he just too busy with his work. I can't blame him though. He is a businessman and I need to understand his work and I should be ready for all the consequences.

That’s what I told myself before make a decision to be in his life. I let out a sighed.

Just then my phone ring. I look at the caller and my lips turning into a smile. It's my best friend Thea Morris.

She just know that I am sad right now. I love her.

"Hey girl.," I said. "Hey umm can you please open the door right now?" I raised my eyebrows.

"Open the door? Why? Where are you?" I ask her, wondering why she calls me just want me to open the door.

"In front of your house to be specific in front of your door." I immediately stand up and walk to the door. I open it to see Thea grinning. I hang up the call then look at her.

"Why don't you just press the bell?" She walks inside then follow me to the dining room.

"Because I don't want to meet with your husband obviously. It will ruin my entire day," She said and eat the pancakes without asking me.

Well you know, Thea never likes Elijah like ever. I don't even know why. Every time they meet, they always end up arguing for something stupid. They just can't get along at all.

They are like cat and dog but sometimes the cat and dog can be nice to each other too. Every best friend supposed to be happy if their best friend gets married and be happy but not for Thea. She never approved Elijah since I met him. It is just weird.

She keeps telling me that I need to be strong, mentally and physically. I know she loves me so much and I love her too.

She's like my sister cause she always be there for me no matter what and I know she just wants the best for me. She is the one that I have before I met Elijah.

"I still can't understand why you didn't like him." I take a sip of my orange juice.

"Alexa, I just... You know I just feel like he's not the one for you." She said. “Oh, by the way where is he? He’s not in this house right?”

“Nope. He rushed out earlier because he got an early meeting this morning. That’s why there’s still a lot of pancakes in front of you,” I said.
