CLAIRE'S POV.

I was surprised.

Who's maria?

His mother?
His ex wife?

But I never heard that he had one.

Or his ex girlfriend,is that it?

I sat down feeling devastated.

If only I had taken the time to know him more,i would have known him better. I would have known he doesn't eat carrots

Oh God,I almost lost my husband due to my ignorance.

But I don't think I want to be that ignorant anymore.
I stayed up all night without getting an ounce of sleep.

THE NEXT MORNING.

OLIVER'S POV.

I woke up feeling a slight headache,last night had been like hell.

Thank God for Claire.
Yeah,Claire.

"How are you feeling" I heard a voice say beside me.

CLAIRE.
"I see you are awake now" she said.

She looked beautiful even early in the morning with her light dark skin,she looked good.
But she had baggy eyes like she hadn't slept in ages.

"I'm fine" I said coldly.
"Uhm take this" she said as she handed me two tablets of aspirin and a glass of water which I took down in one gulp.
"Thanks" I said coldly again,perhaps too cold.

That's rather too harsh for someone who took care of you last night,or don't you think? I heard my conscience telling me.

It felt rather frustrating in my head,the headache was still there for me to be having this conversation with something I couldn't see.

I wished it could be physical so I could hit the f*cking shit out of it.

I stood up ignoring my conscience and asked

"Did you sleep?"

"That's not important right now"

You see I told you
Too harsh -my subconscious said.

And my anger strode in taking full dominance,as I gritted my teeth.

"SHUT UP" I shouted.

"Excuse me?" Claire said jerking me back to the reality of actually being in the room with her.

"I'm sorry,wasn't referring to you" I said making myself as brief as possible.

"Esperanza has called us down to have breakfast" she said tiredly.

"Okay I'll go freshen up"

" same here" she said as she stood up and staggered to her bathroom,she looked so damn tired.
And that short dress of hers,I took time to notice,her skin shone.

So beautiful.

I quickly removed my face.

I got out of bed and freshened up quick.

As I tied my towel,I saw Claire in her own towel stepping out of her own bathroom.

What a coincidence!!!!!

"Oh my God" she screamed as she entered her dressing room.

What's wrong with her? I thought before entering my dressing room and picked out a white top and black loose pants. Thank Goodness it was Sunday,I was in no mood to work after what happened last night.
