Chapter 13: Chapter 13

The moment he did that, a phone rang, hence I figured he forgot his phone in the room.

I checked who was calling and glanced at a woman's name, who is this? I mumbled to myself, thus I dropped it down, minding my own business.

Thereafter, he returned back to the room, glancing for his phone anxiously, hence when he sighted it, he yanked it and left again.

It was passed ten and he hadn't returned back to the room, so I decided to lock him out.

What? Don't judge me, he really needs a beat down hence hours later, I heard constant banging on the door, with Christain yelling my name.

I laid down, paying no heed to him, with earbuds in my ears, the noise stopped, as I dozed off till the next morning.

The minute I opened the door, Christain's head flopped out, hence it jerked him up in fear.

As usual, he bantered words with me, you know! There's no day that passes, he doesn't pick a  fight.

We both raised our voices at each other to the point, the hotel manager came up to us with a stern warning to stop, thus I puzzled out of the room, just to lay off a bit.

All through the month, it became my sole aim of aggravating Christain, and he seems to retaliate back, will you can say, we kept fighting like cats and dogs, I  was the cat whereas he was the dog.

Most couple's at the resort came to give us counseling sessions for free, because they witness how often we fought.

I sat and listen to every word they had to say and the moment they paused, I quickly pick up my belongings and left.

It was two days before the award ceremony, and I decided to take a stroll around the resort, just to clear my head, because of the months as been on constant replay, if you know what I mean.

I walked through the beach with my scandals on my hand, when I glimpse on Christain there gazing at the sea, hence he noticed my presence there, so just to avoid more heated conversation I decided to rephrase my steps when he raised a question.

"Why do you hate me so much" Christain blurted out, thus I halted due to it, as I turned to face him.

"You still don't know the reason why" I replied back to him, as we both glared at each other.

"Let me guess, you doing this because of your sister," he said, wearing a smile on his face.

"Bingo," I said, hence I turned back to leave him alone.

The following day, I woke up and glimpsed him, practicing his speech for the award ceremony, when he saw me through the mirror.

"Good morning" Christain for the first time, said that to me, I glanced at the door to see if anyone was standing there but nothing, he was actually greeting me.

"Good morning"  I blurted outback, as he continues with his presentation.

What's is happening" I said to myself, as I grinned at him, confused at his sudden change of behavior.

Christain acted weird, all through the day, mysteriously graining at me.

What the hell is happening" I mumbled to myself, as our eyes meet.

He let out a weak smile on his face, at me, and trust me I needed an explanation to his sudden  Jovial behavior.

"What's going on", I raised a question to him as he turned to me, running his hands through his well-gelled hair.

"Nothing Liza" he mumbled out, but still I wasn't convinced it was nothing.

Furthermore, back home, mom found out that I traveled with Christain, as she angrily looked at Anna.

Dad told her it was time to let go of the feud between her and me, and trust me I wasn't fighting with her.

She mocked Anna that she was presumed to be the one there but she switched places with me.

Anna folded her hands in anger because, in the past month's, mom has tormented her with the same thing over and over again, hence she blab in anger banging her hands on the table.

For the first time, my younger sister spoke out her mind to my parents, and I wished I was there to see it

Anna stumped out from there, dad looked at mom, as he jerked his head out of the disappointment of her sudden behavior.

Dad went to meet Anna, as he tries to console her but caught her crying in the room.

What's going sweet" dad raised a question as he plops next to her, Anna couldn't hold the truth anymore, hence she told him everything.

She didn't leave any information from him, as he sat there quietly shocked at her confession.

"Why didn't you tell me," he asked Anna but all she could do was to shed more tears.

Whereas back in Virginia, at the hotel, I couldn't sleep, so I decided to take a walk.

I came down at the lobby, straight to the bar, when a man approached me.

"Oops sorry" he let out as he grinned like a maniac, at me.

"Foolish man" I mumbled out as I walked over to the bar.

Everything went on fine, when we heard a gunshot, at the hotel, people started running, hence I decided to follow suit.  When one of the arms men saw me, I tried steering away but he held me by my cloth and pointed a gun to my head.

The hotel was turned up, side down, I look for I could glimpse Christain coming down but I could not.

Why would he come to save me" I mumbled to myself, pinning a worried expression on my face?

The gunmen, pushed me inside the bar, as they tied me up and some other people they moreover apprehended as hostages.

For the first time in my life, I was scared, I could literally feel my legs shaking In fear.

"Oh God, please don't let me die" I prayed in my mind with my eyes closed, in hopes he could hear me.

The Police were alarmed at the situation at the hotel when they came in and tried negotiating with them.

It was let out that, the thief's where actually running away from a robbery that took place, hence the police tracked them here.

The leader of the gangs suggested that the police let them go, without harm, with a getaway car waiting for them.

The police had no choice but to accept their condition at the safety of our lives.

Back at the room, Christain heard the police siren, rotating nonstop, as he wakes up and glimpsed I wasn't in bed.

Thus he rushed down and saw how crowded it was with people crying over their loved ones in danger.

Liza" he called out to me, Irrespective of the noise I could hear him glamouring out to me.

I tried shouting but my mouth was covered with tape and I was bounded to a chair, I couldn't reply back.

He kept asking questions if anyone has seen me, when he came across the man that bumped into the at the bar, hence informs him that I was among the captives.

Christain let out a deep breath, as he shocks his head, wondering why he shook his head?, I'll tell you.

In the past months, have stayed with him, I always find myself in trouble, well not as if  I go look for them, it just happens.

We stay for hours, tied up at their mercy, meanwhile, Christain rushed to meet the leader in charge of the police.

"Hello, someone I know is locked up in there with those criminal's" Christain let out to them but he asked him who I was.

"Urgh, she's my wife" he confessed to the man printing a weird face.

Finally, the police met with the conditions of the criminals and alerted them to fulfill the end of their bargain.
