"Wh— what are y– you doing here?". I suddenly became to aware of my near nakedness." I came in to sing my wife and child a lullaby, but with the current situation, I just might change my mind". He dramatically moved closer and closer to me, my eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"H– huh, wh– what are y– you doing?, don"t come closer OK, I"ll go to the bathroom now to– to...." I turned mute as he grabbed my waist and pulled me to him. His smouldering eyes entranced me so much so that I almost drooled. I was turned on in an instant, who wouldn"t be?. My b.r.e.a.s.t.s was squashed against his st.u.r.dy, well built chest, his luscious lips and mine were inches apart, the hand that was wrapped around my waist pushed the towel dangerously upwards, and the h.e.l.l,something was beginning to poke my belly, how on earth wouldn"t I get turned on?.
His hand started to explore my body and without much efforts,he peeled away the towel from my body. I didn"t remember anything at that time,I just wanted to taste his lips and feel his body against mine so I started to undress him as well. After I got his shirt off, he touched my belly tenderly and his lips closed it on mine. The kiss was intoxicating, I was barely able to stand straight, I held unto his strong shoulders for support and he deepened the kiss. Oh jeez!, I wanted that kiss to last forever, but as I was always mistaking in almost every situation I find myself in, on situation wasn"t an exception. I was still enjoying the fairytale kiss when I heard him say;
"I"ll never let you leave me again Chloe". My brain started working in an instant, Wait did he just call me Chloe?. Before I knew what I was doing, I already pushed him away and marched off to the bathroom. Why on earth would he mistake me for Chloe?. " Why wouldn"t he when you"re all kissy-touchy in his wife"s room, there is indeed no limit to your shamelessness ". My demon voice reprimanded me thoroughly, and that was one of the few times I had to agree to it.
" Well I hope he"s gone" I muttered to myself and wrapped a bathroom robe around my self, what was I thinking when I used a d.a.m.n towel instead of this in the first place.
I walked cautiously out of the bathroom this time, it was only after scanning the room with him being nowhere in sight that I finally calmed down and casually went over to the dresser to dry my damp hair. I was almost done with the exercise when I suddenly emerged behind me and s.n.a.t.c.hed the hairdryer from me.
"Allow me". He said casually and didn"t wait for my permission before he proceeded to blow dry my hair. I stared at him through the mirror, he was so engrossed so much in what he was doing that he didn"t even notice I was staring at him. It was like that awkward situation that took place minutes ago never happened.
" You"re now clearheaded to deduce that I"m not Chloe right?". He paused for 3 seconds before resuming his exercise.
"About that,I"m very sor–"
"I understand, I"d like to ask a favour though"
"Sure,anything for you"
"I"d like to move out of this room as soon as possible". He paused for 5 seconds this time, with his casual expression on Hus face,I couldn"t tell what he was thinking.
" Why?". Huh, why not?, the real question is why you even brought me to stay in her room in the first place. I couldn"t stop myself from remembering Joey"s malicious words. The last thing I want to do is making Mr. Gorgeous forget his Chloe.
"Actually, I figured out that this used to be Chloe"s room, and you have enough of memories attached to it, I don"t want to ruin that for you. Plus the fact that climbing the stairs every now and then tires me out, I"ll be grateful if you can let me move my things to one of the rooms downstairs". His expression turned darker at each word I said, by the time I was through with what I had to say, his face was already black.
" Sure,I"ll have Joe move your things tomorrow ". He dumped the hairdryer on the dresser and strode towards the door. This man amazes me, why is he angry that I requested for a change of rooms?. He should be happy that I respect Chloe right?
" One more thing Mr. Brown ". He stopped and slowly turned around to face me.
" I"d like to talk to you about Joey ". I knew if was a wrong timing, but I was determined to warn him about her two sided face before she aims at me. Who knows what might happen tomorrow?.
" What about her". He raised an eyebrow questioningly.
"She.....she.....actually, she.....". Wait why is words failing me, it"s not like I want to deliver a bad news right?
" You"re not about to say she came into the kitchen earlier today and threatened you right?". Oh, how did he know that was what I wanted to say. I was about to say yes but he was quicker.
"Joey would never do that, she might be a bit annoyed that I didn"t inform her about our wedding, but she"s good at heart and don"t try talking ill about her to me in the future, she"s one of those few people I trust blindly and you shouldn"t be jealous of that, goodnight". He stomped out before I could even breath out a word. Who the h.e.l.l is talking about jealousy here, and if he trusts his Joey that much why didn"t he marry her then. I actually realised that even if we were married, we are indeed strangers and I made a resolve to keep him at arm"s length. I brought out my diary and narrated my day to it before going to bed to sleep as it was needed for the following day. I"ll be meeting my in-laws and I am pretty sure it wasn"t going to be a pleasant experience.
