HUMILIATION

Anna wore the clothes that Dylan had left on the bed for her and made her way down the stairs. She could hear music from somewhere and someone humming to it.

She saw him immediately after she reached the living room, he was in the kitchen wearing an apron and dancing around.

She chuckled as she walked over to where he was. He was in his world he hadn't even realized she had joined him.

"Hey ", she said and he turned around and started. The moment he saw her a smile appeared on his lips.

"Was wondering when you were gonna be done ", he said as his focus returned to whatever he was cooking.

"I was covered in mud if you don't remember ", she said as she took a seat on the stool that was next to the fridge.

His house didn't look like that of a normal bachelor. Everything seemed to be organized. She was even shocked that he knew his way around the kitchen.

"I make some chicken noodle soup for you I hope it warms you up real quick if it doesn't I can do it for you ", he said as he handed him a bowl of soup.

"Thank you ", she said as she took a sip of the soup.

He watched her face as she swallowed and the smile on her face was enough motivation for him.

"I knew you'd love it ", he said as he turned around and continued chipping his vegetables.

"You know it's just soup right, "she said as she chuckled.

It was pretty good she wasn't going to deny it.

"But it does taste good that's all that matters, I figured I'd make pasta everyone loves pasta ", he said as he drained water from his pasta.

"It would be weird if I hated pasta don't you think ?", asked Anna as she stared at him.

The smile on her lips was still there and this time it wasn't forced.

"I have met some people who don't like pasta actually but if you hated it I would just assume it because you're gorgeous I would look past it", he said.

"Well, I love pasta ain't that a shocker ", she said as she continued eating her soup.

"Naah it just makes you perfect, if my comments offend you please feel free to tell me after all you're someone's husband ", he said and a silence fell between them.

For a moment Anna had forgotten that Vincenzo existed. She was torn between calling him and telling him that she was okay but he had never cared before so it wouldn't make much of a difference if she didn't.

On the other hand, how could she tell him that she didn't want him to stop with all the comments he made about her?

She couldn't remember the last time Vincenzo had told her she was gorgeous. She wanted to feel like the best thing that happened to someone.

"No I don't mind the comments", she said breaking the ice between them.

"Good I wasn't planning on stopping I couldn't even if I tried to, someone wweldsyou how pretty you are ?", he asked her asheturnedd to look.

She couldn't hide her blushed cheeks as he looked at her she just laughed it off.

"Do you know how to cook ?", he asked her.

"Yeah but not a lot of things I just won't die hungry if I lived alone ", she said as she stood up and took the empty bowl to the sink to wash it.

"Well I'm a perfect cook considering what people say every time I cook, I could teach you if you wanted to know how to cook ", he said as he took the bowl from her to wash it.

"Well you're already cooking so when are you ever gonna teach me how to cook ?", she asked him as she went over to where he was and watched as he cooked.

"This doesn't have to be the last time you come over you can come anytime you want and we can cook or watch something ", he said as he looked at her hopefully.

"I don't think my husband would like that very much ", Anna said as she chuckled and went back to where she was sitting.

"He's never home Anna and do you think he's worried about where you are right now ?", Dylan asked as he looked at Anna look of dissatisfaction on his face.

She knew he was telling her the truth but she didn't think that any of it was his business. Just because he had helped her out didn't mean he had the right to judge her life.

"I don't have my phone with me maybe he's been trying to reach me ", Anna said shrugging her shoulders but even she didn't believe that he was worried.

"Do you honestly believe that ?", Dylan looked at her his face full of concern.

"Yes I do ", she said as she tried to smile.

"If you do then you must not know your husband, everyone else knows him. Why don't you think people don't know of you? Don't you think every time he went somewhere high profile he could go with you? Why does he prefer to take random hoes rather than take you ?", Dylan asked her getting pissed.

He couldn't understand why Vincenzo treated Anna the way that he did. He treated her like she was a plague that he wasn't supposed to be near.

"I don't think what my husband does is supposed to be any of your business ", Anna said as her voice cracked.

"You knew? You know there are other women in his life and you're still with him? What has he got on you to make you stick with him after all of that humiliation?", he asked her.

He could see the pain flash in her eyes. She was on the brink of breaking down but she was holding it in not to look weak in Infront of him.

All Vincenzo did was embarrass her numerous times and she was still there. What was she waiting for?

Did she think she deserved to be treated like that?

"Did you give your workers the day off ?", she asked as she smiled.
