Shouldn't Have Kissed You

Chris finished making fruit salad before covering it. He was the one making dinner again today and he wanted everything to be perfect and delicious like the previous dinner that he had made. His thoughts could help back go back at the restaurant this afternoon.

He was pissed. Pissed with Kimberly for acting like a spoiled brat when she wasn't. He was trying, right? Chris couldn't help but wonder where he had gone wrong with her. She was supposed to be happy that he found time to take her for lunch but she she wanted more. More when he himself had sacrificed a day from work for her. She was supposed to be grateful but she wasn't.

Instead, she complained. Complained about having dinner within the town instead of outside the town. That comment had pissed him off but he didn't let it affect him that much. Then she called Maya a whore. That was it for him.

He wanted to protect Maya which lead him to telling Kimberly to stop. But her being her, she continued ignoring him. He wanted to speaking. Maybe before Mr. Ambrose spoke up? He didn't know but he just wanted to be the one to protect his wife and not her friend. But before he could say anything, things happened way too fast for him.

Maya was already on her feet with a glass of water in her hands and before it sinks in him, the glass is empty. He did hear Kimberly gasp and he was just about to pull her in his arms when two slaps landed on her sweet cheeks.

To say he was shocked, it would be understatement. And just then Maya was explaining, no, shouting at Kimberly the meaning of a whore. He was happy for her. Happy that now she could stand up for herself without anyone to help her at all.

And that's why when Kimberly asked him to follow her, he turned and smiled at Maya. That was his way of showing her how proud he was for her. As a husband, a friend and a man who wants people to stand up for themselves.

Ironic? I know.

Chris stared the beef that was on stove and moved to washing the already pilled potatoes. He was making dinner tonight like the previous night and he wanted everything to be okay. After the potatoes where clean, he transferred them to a cooking pot and added some water in them.

If it weren't for Kimberly getting mad and kicking him out of her apartment, maybe he would still be there. But she did. He had followed her and driven her back to her apartment. After coming to a stop, he followed his girlfriend to her apartment and waited in the living room for her to change.

Few minutes went by and she wasn't out. Chris decided to check up on her and she was cuddling up on her soft bed crying her eyes out. That wasn't Kimberly to him. The Kimberly he knew never showed her weakness. She never allowed people to see her weakness exceptionally him. The only other time he saw her cry since their years of dating was six months ago.

The day that the public knew he was engaged to a one Miss Freeman and not her. She had cried her eyes out. And at that moment, Chris had hated himself more than he did when he had put an engagement ring on the governor's daughter. His heart broke into pieces but no matter how he tried, he couldn't change back the time. What's done is done.

Chris moved to her bed and rubbed her back soothingly, she had to came down and she did after a while. Chris wanted to apologize but she spoke up before he could. She began to tell him how all of it was his fault which he understood.

He shouldn't have kissed Maya on his stage but he did. Then after one month of not seeing her he is forced into a marriage. A marriage with no love when he should have been preparing to get engaged to Kimberly the love of his life by then. Now, he has his buts at the back of his mind.

Kimberly went ahead to accuse him of planning everything with Maya to have her revenge. She accused him of knowing that Maya was there which he has no idea. Yes, he had overhead Maya on the phone this morning with her friend and he had promised to take her for lunch. But he had no idea that it was in the same restaurant that he would take Kimberly.

Then how was it his fault? He didn't ask her to call Maya names, right? He was no angel to know he would run into them anyway. Then, why was she blaming him for everything? Why was she ready to fight with him for no reason.

Chris got up from the bed and began to walk out. Of course Kimberly asked him where he was going and he answered with all honest. He couldn't deal with her in that state, so he was giving her time to cool off. But she, she threw tantrums at him by telling him to leave since that is what he always does. To leave her behind.

Chris removed the already cooked beef and put the pot with potatoes on stove for them to cook. He then pulled a dish and transfered all the beef stew in it. He set his time for the potatoes and began cut onions.

After he had walked out of the apartment, Chris went back to the studio where they worked on his album. There were still plenty of work to be done like naming the album, photoshoot for the album and video shoot. As for the photoshoot, his manager assured him of taking care of it and the video while he, he had to think of the name to call his album. Maybe from one of the songs?

But being in that studio helped him escape from the real world. Escape from thinking about Kimberly who was still crying on the bed where he left her and his wife to whom they had ruined her lunch with along with her friend. And then evening came with new ideas in the mind.

He called his nanny and asked her not to make dinner adding her another day to go home early. Chris walked to the grocery store again and bought what he wanted to prepare dinner. And that's why he was there, in the kitchen making there dinner. He knew in a few minutes or an hour she will be home and he was all done.

He was just setting the table when the front door opened and closed. Then foot steps which stopped at the foot of the stairs. Chris walked out of the dining table to his wife who was texting someone on the phone. He so wanted to know who it was since it wasn't him. If it was Mr. Ambrose, they're spending allot of time with him which made his wonder if she liked him.

"Hey," he greeted wiping his hands with the apron that he was wearing.

Maya looked up from her phone, "hey, you're home?" he knew she didn't mean it as a question but statement.

Chris smiled at her, "yeah, go freshen up, dinner will be ready in a jiffy."

Chris watched her smile at him then walk upstairs. He went back to setting the table and when he was done, he went back to check on potatoes. They were ready so he took another pot and put onions in it and some oil. He let the onion heat and just when he was adding the potatoes, Maya walked in the kitchen.

"That was quick," Chris said without looking at her.

"What can I do to help?" Chris turned to look at her.

She had changed to a blue short and a big shirt which made him wonder why she would wear something big than her but she still looked cute. Her hair was held in messy ponytail which had him sure of her not combing it before she held it. She looked cute that he was about to forget what she asked and burn himself.

"You're a distraction," Chris said smiling at her. "Why don't you go to the dinning and have some fruit salad before I'm done here?"
