Little Brown Benefit novel Chapter 13

"What do you care, huh? I have a lot of shit on my mind Christian and you're not even seeing that! I told you countless times that I want to start a family with you and you keep shutting me down on that!"

"That doesn't answer my last question, Audrey."

"Okay! Fine! I went to a bar and while I was there, I met Randy."

"Your ex?"

"Yes. We had a few drinks. I guess I had one too many but nothing happened."

"Was he the one on the phone when I walked in?"

"No. It was your mother. She wouldn't be here on Friday so she wanted us to know that. She has a dentist's appointment."

I narrowed my eyes at her and it was my turn to walk away. I went into the master bedroom, asking myself if I should be angry at her having drinks with an ex or if I should just play it off as if nothing happened since I was doing worse.

I got into the shower to take my bath. I heard Audrey getting in also. Her arms circled my waist from behind and she plastered her soft lips all over my naked back.

"I miss us." She whispered. I pictured the very beginning of our relationship and it was the best times between us. Love making happened frequently and she was less demanding and more pleasing. She would tease me with her newly purchase lingerie sets so I can tear it off her and have her anywhere I felt, but that activity died and Audrey changed.

"Christian."

"What?"

"Make love to me. Right here, in the shower."

I turned towards her and exhaled loudly. "I'm not in the mood, Audrey."

"Okay, who is she?"

"Who's who?"

"I'm not stupid Christian! Who's the girl you're sleeping with?"

"In case you haven't noticed! You and I haven't had sex in a while. You can't just hop into the shower and suddenly demand it. And you got some nerves accusing me of cheating when you're the one getting drunk with an ex!" I flipped the table.

"Nothing happened!" She yelled.

"How am I to know that nothing happened?" She stayed silent and I rinsed the soap off and left her in the shower.

I stepped into a simple sweatpants and a vest and went into the kitchen for some orange juice. Audrey appeared again.

"I knew it! I knew it! Christian, you cheating on me?"

"No." I lied.

"Then who's 'Little Brown Benefit?" She asked and threw my cellphone after me. A messaged from Sacha was on the screen.

"I'm going to find out exactly who she is and when I do, she'll regret ever getting to know you!" She finished and stormed out of the kitchen.

This wasn't good.

"You walk and talk like you're better than me. You can be so fake at times, Sacha! I was there when that landlord threw you out and you had nowhere to go! I was there for you and Judy. Why is it that you're not acknowledging me on your rise to be a millionaire?" Tears filled Remy's eyes and she quickly got off the couch and ran out the door.

"Remy! Remy, come back! Remy, where are you going?" I called after her but she kept running away from me, to avoid me.

Remy's POV

I never knew Sacha would turn around and be so ungrateful towards me.

Me?

Her best friend. I guess it's true what they say about friends who gets rich. They switch.

Hot tears stung my eyes as I stopped a cab and head for a hair-salon. I was meaning to get my hair washed, deep treated and styled in a slick ponytail. I entered the salon and a woman with a warm smile ushered me into her chair.

"I'm taking all walk-ins today. What would you like to have?" She asked and turned my body towards a large mirror.

"Wash, treatment and a slick ponytail." I explained and the hair-dresser set to work on my hair. When she almost through with the styling, a very elegant looking woman walked out the door.

"You would think she's a model now." My hair-dresser said to another. The ladies laughed together.

"She was rather extra snappy today. Trouble in billionaire land." The other said back.

"Well Mr. Christian Alexander could be just about fed up with her as well, because if we are, imagine that poor guy." Their discussion went back and forth but I just had to quickly excused myself at the mere mention of Christian's name. I ran out of the salon to catch the woman and just in the nick of time, I saw her entering into a Range Rover.
