Chapter 16 Making The Best Of Things
"Venus wake up, come on get your lazy ass up!"Gina yelled, tugging at my covers as I groaned loudly and turned my head to the other direction.
"Leave me alone I want to sleep,"I replied, trying to keep my eyes closed.
"Yeah that's what you have been saying for the past couple of weeks and I still don't see any progress."I could hear her footsteps getting closer and suddenly without much alarm, she opened my curtains making it ten times harder to keep my eyes shut since after all the sun was shining on my eyelids."Come on, your acting as if the whole world revolves around that asshole."
My eyes widened,"Just because I want a peaceful sleep it does not indicate that my whole world revolves around he who shall not be named. I'm pregnant sleep is a natural thing."I replied, getting up from my bed.
"Yeah so is fresh air!"She replied, in a perky manner and I couldn't help but glare."Come on I will allow you to pick and choose what you want to do."
A smile formed on my face as I said,"I want a hamburger with fries and ice cream.Oh and your paying."
"We're going to the mall because they make the best burgers there."She explained while fixing her hair."I picked out your clothes there on your vanity.After your finished you'll find me downstairs."I nodded my head and headed for the shower.
This was going to be a long day I knew that for sure.
"Christopher!"Annabelle yelled, for the millionth time today and I ignored her for that same amount."Christopher stop wandering around the house like your not supposed to be working more likely claiming what belongs to you."I simply rolled my eyes and sprawled on the couch as if she wasn't there.
I mean thats been working for the past couple of weeks, of course, thats when she's present.I kept telling myself just a month or two only for the sake of the media because it wouldn't look good to divorce within the first couple months of the marriage and this gold digging bitch would be out of my life in no time and thank heavens I had the evidence or my father would never let me divorce her needy ass.
She stood right in front of me with her hands on her hips."Annabelle just go shopping for some new purse or a pair of shoes to calm yourself mmm."Her eyes widened nearly spitting balls of fire as she scrunched her nose."Aww, whats wrong baby did I bruise your alter ego?"I asked, acting sympathetic.
"Christopher what your doing will put us on the verge of bankruptcy!"She hissed, lifting her right hand to flip her brown hair to the side.
I was working mostly from home and from time to time I would go to the office just to check on everything but I wasn't going to tell her that I wanted her to believe soon enough she wouldn't have any money to lay back on, well not from me anyway.
"I really don't care, Annabelle,"I replied, picking up the remote to cruise through the channels.
A smirk suddenly appeared on her face which made me question whats going on in her mind."Ok, Christopher, you don't want to work simply theres no sex."I couldn't help but snort.
Was that really the best she could come up with.
"Whatever Annabelle it's not like your the only one thats offering." I retorted, with a smirk on my face.
"Are you cheating on me?"She asked, and the waterworks began as always.
"No, of course not but I know you are.So a little advice for you let me be."I raged, shooting her a glare.
