The wrong type of love ( chapter 2)

Chapter two

“mummy”,

“yes dear?”

“ I want to take apple juice to school, can I please?”

“of course sweetie” 

Apple juice was Anna's favourite drink, it was one of the things she had in common with her dad. She looked liked me,talked like me and did almost everything like me, but when it comes to food, she likes almost everything her dad likes. She was a smart girl for her age and usually had this thinking look some times on her face.

  It was the first day of school and I guess she was a little bit nervous about making friends, I really don't know, but maybe the apple juice would help. I picked one apple juice from the carton I bought the last time I went to the store. Her smile increased and she shined all her teeth as she tucked her drink into her bag.

   The clock said 7.05am and it was time to leave the house. I was going to drop Anna at her school and pick her up by 2pm, then go to my office and get a little work done. The school and my office wasn't far from home, so I didn't bother to take the small Honda car I owned. I dropped Anna at her school and proceeded to my office. I had been an accountant for a very popular company in sansville but when I became pregnant I tendered my resignation to become a full time mom. I had enjoyed it for a while, I usually had the whole house to myself and tried a lot of things baking, knitting... After the baby was born I used to smile whenever I carried her and cooed to her on several occasions, but now that Anna was about to start school I felt it was time I became employed again.              Michael has been against the idea because he felt no one would be there to take care of Anna but I think he just likes me sitting at home doing nothing, it makes him feel more than the boss. I had argued on several occasions and later I just didn't tell him anything again since his answer was no every single time. I had confided in my best friend; Rebecca who told me I should get a freelance job if I wanted and not tell him anymore....

“He isn't always at home anyway, you get a small office and you work from there, start at small” 

she had said.

It had made a lot of Sense and that's what I ended up doing Becca had assisted me in getting the perfect place which was not far from home and close to Anna's school, I had bought some furnitures to make it a little bit more official and added a flower by the window. The office had a waiting area for clients to stay, and I had added a desk and chair for a secretary to stay though I hadn't employed any yet. I brought some of Anna's toys so she could play with it while I worked after school. I was very eager to see if this plan was going to work or not. I remembered asking

“ what if he found me out one day Becca what would I say?”

“ you were out on your way to get some food supplies for the house” I had practiced that lie very well in the bathroom and was prepared to tell him if he asked but I hoped he won't find out for a while.

I opened the door to the office and entered inside it, I smiled to myself and proceeded. 

     I had been advertising my company for a while and I had gotten five clients so far I hope to get more in the coming months. I removed the plain burgundy jacket I had worn and smoothed out the floral white gown I had worn. I switched on my laptop and began checking out the files the clients had sent over. I took a break in between and made myself a cup of coffee from the coffee maker before I continued to work . It was already two in the afternoon and I had to hurry to pick Anna from school. I didn't want the teacher concluding I was a bad mom especially since it was our first day. I closed the office and hurried down the street with my black pencil heels making noise on the pavements.

I got to her school,  picked her up and began going back to the office. I had finished one of the clients work and was rounding up the other clients own, I concluded that by 4pm we would go home. 

“sweeie, how was school?”

“ tis was okay”

“did u make any new friends?”

“yes, I made two............................ her name is Valerie and his name his jake”

“that's good”

 I opened the door to the office and we entered,
