Smiles needs to have a bath and change but she can't do that because only one room is available and she doesn't want to see Keane.
She lies back on the sofa trying so hard to sleep but to no avail. It bothers her to know he doesn't care anymore. Her body is sticky and she sweats.
Unable to keep on, she walks into the room. "I need a bath," Smiles said, staring at the man on the bed who was busily working on his phone as if she wasn't talking to him.
"I don't think I am carrying the bath with me, am I?" Keane asked not taking his eyes off his phone.
Smiles stare at him, tired. She has no choice but to take everything, it's not like she chose to be stuck here with him.
"I need a change of clothes!" She adds.
"I don't have any," Keane tells her to her face.
She frowns, "what do you mean by that?" She fumes, annoyed by his words.
"Easy, I don't have any clothes to offer you" He pressed on.
"Why not? "Smiles asked, she didn't know if she should cry or laugh.
"no! The question here should be ``why should I?" Keane corrects.
"Why should you? Are you kidding me?" Smiles runs her hands on her hair," You lock me up in here, and you sit there and asked me why should you?" She was furious now.
"Don't blame me" Keane sounds so calm and composed. Why won't he? He was basically enjoying every scene. He was enjoying her being all red in anger and shy from embarrassment.
"You are an ass hole" She cursed.
"I don't share my clothes with anyone except, so if you know you are my wife, then you are welcome to take anything but if you know you ain't, no trespass," Keane said, Deep down, he was dying of laughter but outside, he was solid as a rock.
It's his test on her, if she takes his clothes, he will believe she is still into her but if she doesn't, then he will skip planning B.
"That's ridiculous!" She stumps out of the room, furious.
"He can't be that stupid to think I will fall for it, never" She murmurs to herself, pacing back and forth in the living room.
After a long time, Smiles couldn't take any more of her irritating smell.
"Fine," She said and entered the room. She makes sure to take the most expensive dress in his closet and his suit but without a second thought, she doesn't think she will be able to wear it.
"What do I care about?" She grumbles, not looking at where she's going, she almost bumps into Keane but luckily she doesn't.
"I see you've finally decided to take your role," He said, moving closer.
Smiles and and steps back unconsciously, "I'm not doing this for you" she defends.
Keane smiles, "I know that" he never stops approaching until his Smiles can't move any further. She was stopped by the wall behind her.
Keane leans down, and and caresses her cheeks with the tip of his nose.
So much as Smiles wanted to have this feeling of him by her side, of snuggling closer to his side as he enveloped her in his arms, she couldn't brush away the hotel lady.
With everything she's got, she pushes him away, sending him two steps back.
"Go away, I hate you. So much that it hurts, I hate you gots and everything. I hate how you look at me, I hate when you smirk at me, I hate how stupid I believed in you, and hate how you make me feel even when I try to stop myself from feeling a thing, and above all, I hate how my stupid heart keeps beating for you. I just… hate… you" Smiles slowly fall to the ground crying.
Keane was surprised by her sudden confession, he wasn't expecting any.
"Every time I choose to give you a chance, you always ruin it. I knew love has always been a pain in the ass but never would I have thought it would be this painful, choking me up" Smiles said in between her sobs." I hate you, I hate you"Shee keeps on repeating the phrase.
Keane tries to reach out to her but she pushes him away, "don't touch me with those stinky hands of yours, I hate your guts" she yells, stunning Keane.
"Go meet the hotel lady, she will better give you what you want" With that, Smiles and left for the bath.
Understanding what she meant, Keane couldn't help but smile. It was all his plan, to make her jealous. To believe something really happened between them.
When she came in, she didn't react. He thought she never cared or she didn't notice but with what just happened now, he is certain she is one hundred percent, Jealous.
Regardless of what will happen, Keane is hellbent on taking Smiles home. He's promised gGrandmaShiley that he will bring her back, not only for Grandma but for himself too. He needs her so much, he tastes it and it's no fun. Life without her is not worth living.
He walks into the bath and closes the door behind him. His eyes stay glued to the nude lady before him, her body curves have doubled by a hundred percent making it two hundred percent.
He watched her clean herself, but the silent son coming from her made his heart twist in his chest.
He moved to her and hugged her from behind, there was nothing he left to say.
Smiles couldn't help but cry, letting it all out. "Why did you do it?" She asked between her sobsbing.
He didn't respond, and neither did he care about the rainy shower. He turns her to face him.
"I didn't do it, I promise you" His tone was low and promising.
Smiles pull away, still not convinced. "That lady, did you two?" she couldn't complete her words.
"I've never broken any of the promises I made to you. Nothing happened, it was all my plan to get you jealous" he explains.
Smiles cried at the same time, she was laughing. She feels so relieved hearing him say nothing happened between them.
She pounced on him, hugging him like there was no tomorrow. It feels like a lifetime without him and here she is, feeling comfort once again, in his arms. The arms of the man he's always loved and can't stop loving.
"I'm sorry I left, I was so hurt that I totally ignored your pains and struggle. I'm sorry for being such an emotional bastard, I'm sorry for hurting you all these years thinking I was the victim " She cries, feeling bad for being so blind.
Keane had no words left, he hugged her with everything in him. She is his wife, his forever. His bones and cartilage scream calling out to her, there is no way he will ever be able to spend another second without her in his life.
