Laura

As I was sitting in the garden having tea and I was getting bored. Ella and Walter had been busy with their office work. Their company was having problems these days I didn't know too much about. I decided to meet John at the coffee shop to discuss about our lives. I reached there in about half an hour and found him already waiting for me.

"Hey," he greeted me kissing my cheeks gently as we exchanged hugs.

"So, how is life? We don't even have time to talk to each other in the hospital so I decided to meet you here," he said.

"Yeah, I know. So what's up?" I asked taking a chair and looking around people.

"Just going to mom's place after this week. Laura, I wanted to tell you something." he said in a low voice with his facial expressions more serious than ever.

"Yeah, go ahead," I replied anxious to know.

"I think I really love Miss Ella. I think she is the most perfect woman I have ever met. I want to ask her out." while saying all these words I was shocked and looked like a complete block of ice. I didn't want him to know I was surprised.

"Are you really serious?" I choked because John has never been serious about women.

"Of course! Does it look like I am kidding?" he snorted while brushing his hair.

"You should ask her then. I don't know if she is going to be easy, like, I don't know if she is going to be in a relationship after what she faced in past, but you should try." I tried not to break his heart because I knew it was hard for Ella to love again.

"What do you mean? She had a previous relationship? Laura please be more pertinent!" he cried loud as I was sure that John did have feelings for her.

"You should ask her, not me." I said as my black coffee was served by the waiter.

"That means you are not going to help me?" he mumbled as I took a sip of the coffee.

"Yes," I said closing my eyes.

"And may I ask why?" he was disappointed.

"Because I want her to tell you by herself." I replied. He was silent for a while. I knew he was mad at me but I couldn't help because I never wanted to break the promise I made to her. I wouldn't go back on my word, "John, trust me I am trying to help you. It will be hard to love her and I think you should consider it again." I murmured trying not to mean what I just said.

"There is not a chance I can reconsider this. Laura, you have always been a great friend and for your sake I will ask her by myself." he smiled.

"That's more like you and don't come crying to me when you get rejected by her." I laughed hard.

"So tell me, are you happy with Walter? Does he make you happy?" he rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, why do you always ask?" I shrugged giving him a weird look.

He smiled and then with a grin he said, "Because I want to make sure you're happy and because you and Jennie are the most important people in my life."

"And Ella too." I smirked as he laughed.

After having a long time gossip with him I returned to home to relax. As I checked my phone I realized I had texts from Stefan saying that he'll be coming to my place at evening.

'Why is he coming?' I was wondering.

Not knowing what to do I quickly dressed myself up and asked butler to cook something refreshing. After half an hour the doorbell rang and I quickly ran to see who it was and there was Stefan standing in front of me.

"Hey," he said presenting a bouquet of roses to me.

"Hi," I said simply looking perplexed not knowing what to say.

"May I come in?" he asked as he took a step in.

"Yeah," I said hesitantly, "Thanks for that bouquet," I stuttered.

"Sorry for not telling you before but I thought of visiting you today," he explained as we talked towards the drawing-room.

"So, what made you come here?" I asked looking around.

"Well, I was bored and I wanted to meet your husband." He told me as one of the servants served the tea.

"Walter? He isn't home yet. Why did you want to meet him?" I asked eagerly.

"Because after your marriage I wasn't able to congratulate you and meet Walter. That's why!" He said looking around, stopping his gaze at the picture of me and Walter.

"That's really sweet of you! Thanks! I'm afraid he might be late." I replied.

"That's not a problem. I can wait for him. Would you mind if I have a look at this beautiful castle?" Stefan definitely was impressed by Walter's house.

"Sure."

I pointed him to walk by my side as we went upstairs and I showed him everything. We both talked and laughed having a wonderful time together. I tried to call Walter but it looked like his battery died and I pleaded Stefan to stay till dinner. Now I was starting to think more positively about Stefan's personality. He wasn't that bad after all and always showed a friendly affection towards me. A part of me liked him because of his gentle act towards woman. But that part was friendly and I knew we both shared a friendly relationship.

"Dinner is served," the butler announced.

I asked him to come to the dining hall. I served him delicious pasta and Mexican rice.

"It's delicious!" he remarked taking a full spoon full of pasta in his mouth.

"Thank you!" I replied as we both ate together.

"Oops!" Stefan split pasta on his shirt as he quickly stood up.

"It's okay! I can bring a tissue." I quickly ran and brought a tissue half wet and wiped his shirt. At that moment Walter entered and looked at both of us as if something has happened. He continued to gaze us as I quickly said,

"Walter this is Stefan, actually he specifically came here to meet you. He was waiting for you but it was late and we decided to have dinner without you."

He still remained there with a displeased expression on his face.

"Hello! Nice to meet you," Stefan shook hands with him. Walter bit his lips and a wave of anger showed on his face.

"Nice to meet you. I'll be going upstairs." with this he left upstairs. Stefan looked upon me as I quickly cleared up.

"Sorry for that. He's been very busy lately because of his office so I apologize."

"No it's okay. I better get going." He picked up his bag and things as I went to tell him goodbye at the door.

I was feeling embarrassed and shameful now. Walter acted like a complete jerk, why did he do such a thing? As he came down in the kitchen grabbing some water I stood in front of him, blocking his escape.

"What was that? Don't you have any manners? You insulted him!" I groaned as he recklessly tried to move back.

"Like if he came to meet me. He was your friend or whatever, so don't expect me to do anything. Besides I think I interrupted your beautiful dinner." he looked completely mad.

"What! What do you mean? He just came to meet you and what you did was rude!" I exclaimed.

"I don't care! Don't bother me! If you like him so much why don't you just ask me to end this and you can have these wonderful moments every day." he shouted.

"What! I am not that kind of a woman Walter! Don't tell me you're that low to be jealous of someone like Stefan!" I cried and I was about to burst into tears.

"Jealous? I don't give a shit! Go and do whatever you want! I won't even mind if I find you sleeping with any other man!"

With what he said I slapped him across his face with tears falling from my eyes. I didn't know if what I did was right or not because I was angry and mad. I hated myself and I hated the way he talked about me. I locked myself in my room and cried the time. Why did he do this to me? He wants to end it!

***

I left early this morning and decided to keep myself away from what had happened last night. It felt like a nightmare. I never want it to happen again.

I was lost in my thought resting down on the desk with my eyes filled with grief, when a hand touched me from behind.

"Hey! Are you okay?"

It was Jennie and she noticed my swollen eyes and face.

"Yeah," I said in a low tone.

"Don't lie!" she said again.

"I'm fine, it's just..." I tried to speak but couldn't make it and let it out hugging her. I buried myself in her shoulders and continued to cry. I explained to her that I had a fight and all. Not telling her what was the cause because I didn't want Stefan to be a part of it.

"Just wait, he will apologize! Everything is going to be okay. He loves you Laura and he is definitely going to ask for forgiveness." she wiped my tears trying to make me smile.

"I don't even know if he likes me." I hiccupped.

"Don't think like that!" She hugged me again trying to console me.

"Okay! I have news for you! I'm feeling so excited." she said excitedly.

"What? Tell me!" I was really excited to know.

"This is hard to say, but I am expecting!" she said and hugged me tightly blushing.

"Jennie! Oh my God! This is the best thing I can hear! Congratulations!" I tightly wrapped my arms around her.

"Thanks Laura," she said pulling herself back.

"When did you get to know? I am really excited to be an aunt." I laughed.

"Just a day before!" her eyes seemed to shine like glitter.

"Well, I'll be leaving now, bye. Take care and don't work too hard!" I said leaving her and heading towards home.

Walter (Third person)

Walter was busy with his last client and quickly got rid of him. He wanted to take her out for a dinner. But he decided to tell her after reaching home. The moment he took step to enter the drawing hall what he looked was the most unbearable scene in his life.

Laura wiping something on Stefan's shirt and with their faces as close as they were about to kiss. He clenched his wrist and swallowed the wave of jealousy and anger on his face. He wanted to smack Stefan's head and slap Laura. Even if Laura and Walter were just living together on compromises, the sight of just seeing Laura with another man was killing him. He was annoyed because he couldn't bear the pain of seeing Laura with this man.

"Walter this is Stefan, actually he specifically came here to meet you. He was waiting for you but it was late and we decided to have dinner without you." Laura said.

Walter greeted him grinding his teeth and went upstairs trying not to lose his temper. He slammed the door and punched the wall. When he came downstairs Laura was in the kitchen she said,

"What was that? Don't you have any manners? You insulted him!" Laura groaned as he recklessly tried to move back.

"Like if he came to meet me. He was your friend or whatever, so don't expect me to do anything besides I think interrupted your beautiful dinner." Walter replied angrily.

"What! What do you mean? He just came to meet you and what you did was rude!" Laura exclaimed.

"I don't care! Don't bother me! If you like him so much why don't you just ask me to end this and you can have these wonderful moments every day." he shouted.

"What! I am not that kind of a woman Walter! Don't tell me you're that low to be jealous of someone like Stefan!" Laura cried and was about to burst into tears.

"Jealous? I don't give a shit! Go and do whatever you want! I won't even mind if I find you sleeping with any other man!" with what he said Laura slapped him. Walter couldn't move, he regretted saying that to her. He didn't mean to say it. He just couldn't bear that Laura's life, even for one single moment, was with some other man than him.

***

"Here is your coffee sir," the butler said keeping the coffee as Walter was waiting desperately to watch the match between Arsenal and Manchester. He was eating roasted peanuts. There was someone at the door and Walter quickly went to see who it was. Daniel was standing in front of him with a big grin on his face.

"Laura isn't home!" Walter said carelessly.

"Well that's fine, can we talk?" he asked. Walter let him walk to the garden asking him to sit. Taking a seat Daniel remained quiet and coughed.

"So, why are you here?" Walter asked coldly.

"Invitation to our last family party. Dad asked you and your wife to attend it." he told him handing him the invitation card.

"Last?" Walter raised his eyebrow.

"We're moving out because, you know..." tears falling from his eyes.

"Did you find a good doctor there?" Walter seemed concerned.

"Yes," replied Daniel.

"I hope everything goes fine and I'll be visiting you when I can." Walter was not sure what else to say.

Daniel smirked, "Do give my regards to Miss Laura," he said standing up to go.

"You give her the invitation by yourself," Walter said crossing his arms.

"Why? Can't you do this for me?" Daniel muttered as he saw Walter's face.

"If only she agrees to see my face." he chuckled.

"You two got into fight? Better apologize to her yourself and don't hurt her she is a wonderful woman. Losing her will be like losing a gem, if you understand what I mean." with that he left leaving Walter clueless.

Laura came home and had dinner in her room. She wasn't sure if she even wanted to see Walter's face. She decided to go to terrace and relax for a while. Her mind was full of happiness that Jennie is soon going to be mother and John has found his love.

"You'll catch cold it's almost November now," a voice behind startled her. Walter was standing behind her and she didn't want to talk to him right now. She moved towards the other side ignoring his presence. Now they both were facing towards the sky.

"Laura, can you just spear a moment?" Walter tried to ask trying to break the block of ice between them.

"I don't have a moment!" she looked annoyed.

"Look I know what I said was something I shouldn't have and I don't know what else to say except for I'm sorry." he looked down and gulped.

"Sorry doesn't mean anything to me now! I don't want to hear it from you!" Laura yelled.

"Laura, the truth is that..." he stuttered.

"What? Stop treating me like your own property!" Laura couldn't stop herself.

"I was jealous! Got it! I just can't see you with another man," he finally said what he wanted to hide for months, he finally said it. Laura looked surprised and unable to move. She couldn't believe that Walter was jealous of Stefan.

"Laura! I am sorry I overreacted because I couldn't do anything to keep you on my side!" Walter was saying those words.

"Walter, you were jealous and you didn't like that I wiped his shirt. You could have told me that you don't like me meeting Stefan and I swear that I would have never allowed him to see me again. But what you said hurt me." Laura said calming herself.

"I never wanted to hurt you. I am sorry but I really can't stand that guy." he said sheepishly as Laura slightly smiled.

"But our relationship is just temporary. Why were you jealous? Didn't you say that we are just compromising?" she said.

Walter smirked, looked at her and smiled again.

"Even though it's temporary, I don't want you to meet another man." Walter was being possessive.

"And why is that so?" Laura crossed her arms across her chest. Walter came forward so they were facing face to face. He narrowed his eyes with a smile on his face. He was staring deeply in her eyes.

"Because..." he said holding her face tightly.

They stared into each other's eyes for a moment, not being able to speak. Laura's breathing started to quicken. Walter gently placed his forehead on hers, smiling at their sudden closeness. Neither of them spoke, fearing words would ruin the moment. He slowly leaned it, hesitating for just a moment, before pressing his lips against hers.

Laura

I was holding myself and closing my eyes I felt the touch of his soft lips on mine. For a moment this whole world was stopped for me. It felt like I was dreaming and I didn't want to stop him from kissing me. He released me from his grip with a smirk on his face. We both were blushing wildly. I couldn't help but smile closing my eyes running downstairs. I slammed my door and threw myself on the bed. Smiling myself about the kiss he gave me just now.

'Walter kissed me this is the best feeling ever!' I was talking to myself.

The next day Walter and I tried to act normal around each other. He told me about the invitation I got from Mr. Wilson saying to attend his family party. I decided to go and called Ella to help me out pick out a dress. Laura came in the evening as she picked out the dress for me. She did my make-up and my hairstyle. I was wearing an eloquent admirer dress I brought last month when Ella and I went shopping. My make-up was light and I was wearing long red heels. My hair was done into side braids with cascading look to them.

"You look beautiful and I bet Walter isn't going to take his eyes off of you tonight." she winked as we both laughed.

"Thank you Ella," She really made me look like a princess. As I was about to go downstairs Ella caught me arms.

"Wait let's play a trick on him!" she giggled running downstairs.

"Walter, seems like Laura isn't going tonight." she shrugged and looked at Walter's expressions.

"What! You must not be kidding now!" Walter said.

"Do I look like joking? She isn't feeling good so she's not going." Ella laughed as I was hearing everything standing on stairs.

"Wow! She could have told me earlier. What happened to her let me check out!" Walter seemed much concerned and I couldn't stop myself from smiling.

"You're going to be late. She is fine. You should go!" Ella insisted.

"Uhm... okay," Walter seemed so unusual.

"Wait my lovely brother here comes your bride!" she said half-joking as I came downstairs trying to walk with these big heels.

"What was that for?" Walter give annoyed look.

"April fools my brother!" she laughed as I saw Walter wearing brown boots and wearing full three-piece black suit.

"Cut it out sis!" Walter said looking at me intensely as I slightly blushed.

"I am going you guys, meet me there!" and with that Ella left.

"Should we go?" I asked him not knowing what else to say after what happened last night.

"Sure," Walter replied returning to his real face, "But wait!" Walter stopped me as if he forgot something. He handed me over the family necklace that Mr. Wilson gave it to him.

"Better wear this or Mr. Wilson is going to ask about it," he handed the beautiful diamond necklace to me. I tried to put it on myself but it was a bit short so I want able to lock it.

"Mind helping?" I asked him who was biting his lips. He took the necklace and easily locked it in my neck looking at me. I couldn't stop myself but look at him.

"Your hair, may I?" he asked holding a piece of my hair that had fallen back.

"Oh thanks!" I said trying to touch them again. As we reached there Mr. Wilson warmly welcomed us and treating me like his own daughter.

"Walter and Laura enjoy and Walter, you bastard, do company her!" he said in his manly voice.

"Why are you holding my hands like a teenage girl!" Walter snorted pulling my hands back.

"I wasn't! You were the one who held it when you saw Mr. Wilson!" I argued.

"I never did that!" he replied back.

"Don't lie now it isn't bad holding your wife's hands in front of everyone." I teased him.

"Don't make a fuss of it!" he yelled.

"Hey Walter!" a group of boys called him as he ran towards them leaving me all alone.

"Laura!" Daniel came running gently placing a kiss on my hands.

"Hey!" I said.

"Come meet my friends!" Daniel held my arms pulling me towards the corner where his friends were waiting for me.

"Oh this is Laura! We heard a lot about you but you are more beautiful than we thought you would be," they all said together.

"Nice to meet you!" I said in a low tone searching for Walter. I quickly got an idea to run away from those teenage boys and go for a drink.

I quickly drank it holding up myself against a wall.

"Laura darling I have searched for you all over there you are!" Walter said in a changed voice holding me in arms tightly. As we both walked towards a group of unknown people.

"Gentlemen, this is Laura. My obedient, lovely and beautiful wife," Walter said proudly placing a kiss on my cheek and I made a weird face unsure of how to respond. I was shocked by the way he was acting.

"Nice to meet you all," I suddenly replied trying to recover myself.

"I am Blake, Walter's best friend from high school." Blake said. Blake was a very good-looking, tall man with light brown hair and a heart melting smile.

"Nice to meet you," I said smiling. He introduced me to his other friends. As we were all talking I noticed Hannah coming in with Stefan. Hannah holding Stefan's hands like if something was wrong. Hannah and Stefan?
