My employer's wife

Chapter Twenty-Eight

    LISA'S POV

          I woke up alone on the bed with no sign of Lizzie. I was relieved after I opened up to her, it felt like some weight have been lifted from my heart.
             I got up feeling slightly dizzy, I went to the bathroom brushing my teeth and washing my face before going to the kitchen. I saw Lizzie transferring the pancakes to the two plate on the table. She saw me and smiled reaching for my hand which I gladly gave
             Good morning, how was your night" Lizzie asked directing me to the stool
             "Good" it wasn't a lie, I felt better than I had been for the past few years.
             "I made breakfast"  she brought the two plate setting them on the counter each according to how we were going to sit.
              "Thanks" I took a seat and she did the same beside me.
            "Here" she took the maple syrup on the table drizzling it on the pancakes.
             I took the the pancake bitting a big portion, realizing how hungry I am. She smiled before taking hers to eat. We ate in silent both focusing on them
          After we were done, we watched the dishes together before tidying up the house. We left shortly after

           I hadn't checked my phone since last night and when I did I saw Fifteen missed calls from John. What happened and why did he call, I took a mental note to call him back when we get home.
            The drive was long and silent which was great for me. None of us had attempted to start a conversation. We were both thinking of where does this put us. I knew things would actually come to an end for us but why do I feel this pain whenever I remember it. Lisa would someday move on with her life and I would be stuck on a loveless marriage
             We eventually reached home after an hour plus. After parking the car, we got down. I opened the door, both of us entering the house. I stopped dead on my track when I saw John in the middle of the room staring at us anger visibly on his face
             John! What are you doing here. That was the most dumbest question to ask your husband. So this was why he was calling last night.
            He was surprised I was asking him what he was doing here "can't I come to my own home anymore" he asked anger visible on his voice
              Lizzie was there probably surprised too of the situation. "that's not what I meant"
              Lizzie greeted him but he didn't reply so she left after taking an excuse from us.
             "Where are you coming and ......where are the girls and why are you coming home with the girls nanny after spending the night somewhere else?" That was a lot of question
              The girls are with Jeanie, we had a party last night at the cabin and we are just coming back" I briefly explained omitting some things
             And whose permission did you take to do such things?" That was new, I never took permission from him after all he wasn't always home and that made me snapped which was a terrible idea
            Is not like you are exactly home" I lashed out which resulted a very hard slap on my cheeks. I could feel the blood on my lips. It was actually the second time he hit me
            I heard Lizzie rushed down, she probably didn't go to her room when she took an excuse. She was angry and it was clear on her face
            I grabbed her before she could do something worst "I'm fine"
             She was surprised of what I say "you are not, how dare he raise his hand on you''
            "Just go to your room!"  I said my voice harsher than I intended it to be ......Please?
             She looked at me before before going upstairs
            "Are you screwing her? He asked running his hands on face. I took a few breath trying to calm myself "let's talk when you calm down" I say before going up to my room. I heard the front door open before strongly shut close.
            Few minutes later I heard a Small knock on my bedroom door, I knew it was Lizzie. I got up opening the door. I let her in closing the door
           I'm sorry about downstairs I just didn't want you to get hit too"
            "I  can take care of myself"  Lizzie says clearly not happy
           "So can I!" I said
             Fine but don't think I will do nothing when he hits you again" she says before directing me to the bed. She opened the first aid kit which I just noticed, getting me to seat down. I knew she was angry but if I had allowed her to butt in on my problem, things would have gotten from bad to worst
              I sat down on the bed letting her treat the cut on my lips "I'm sorry, its all my fault" I heard her say blaming herself for what happened
            "It not your fault, I was the one that brought the whole idea and I don't regret it so don't" I tried to
             Lizzie sat beside me " what are you going to do now?"
             I got up thinking about the situation we are in "I have to think of my girls"
             Lizzie nodded understanding what I meant.
       

  LIZZY'S POV

     I knew now is the right time to say what have been on my mind. I thought the best idea for me is to leave whenever John comes home, I didn't think it will be soon but I guess it is. I don't think I can stand it if Lisa and I are together but not really together. Things will be weird and I almost tried to hit his husband for fucks sake
            I took a second trying to calm my nerves "I'm planning on leaving"
           Lisa was definitely surprised of my sudden news what?
             I tried to convince myself that it is the right thing to do "I think it best, you said so things have to end and.......
           "When I said things have to end I didn't mean you have to leave" Lisa saus
             "I  know but I think leaving is the best idea" I was trying to reason with her.      
         "Why , why does it have to be the only best idea you can come up with"
          Should I tell her that I have feelings for her, would it change anything I thought.
           I love you, that's the reason. I didn't plan to but I did and being here with you without being with you is hard. I tried to ignore it but it's hard when everyday I fall deeper in love with you" I say finally taking a breath.
              She was stunned by what I said. Um....I...I
             "You don't have to say anything. you wanted a reason why I have to go, that's it" I was happy I finally said what was on my mind but sad that she didn't feel the same. I couldn't blame her, it wasn't her fault I fell in love with her when she clearly told me I shouldn't. I was trying to be strong but I know if I stay longer in her room that I might break apart
             I have to go before he comes back" I said referring to her husband. I took my kit to leave but stopped when she called me. She took my lips in hers kissing me hardly before letting go. I felt the tears on my eyes slip off and I ran to my room parking everything to leave. I guess this is it
