MY CHEATING HUSBAND

EP 5( HOW I STARTED CHEATING)

Flashback, 6months ago

Jared's POV

“Please let Danica travel to Toronto on my behalf,” I tried to convince Mr. Antonio, my no non-sense boss but he just shook his head disapprovingly making me feel worse about the same.

“The two of you must go there Mr. Young,” He ordered sternly without blinking.

“Bluebell just delivered last week,” I gasped.

“An order is an order Mr. Young. It is such a shame you are trying to throw 1000 bucks you will be getting after you attend the summit.

Anyway, if you do not want to go, you can just leave your resignation at the front desk.” He ranted in a serious tone.

Shit!

“Okay sir. I will be in Toronto first thing in the morning sir!” I agreed standing from my seat and patiently awaiting his dispersal.

“Make us proud Mr. Young,” My boss requested shaking my hand.

“I promise,” I jested nodding my head in agreement.

“Nice afternoon,” He said as I closed my door behind me.

"Thank you Mr.Antonio,"

“Prepare my schedule and tell Mr.Ellot that I will  work on his  case next week. We are leaving for Toronto tomorrow morning,” I told Danica who was glued on her laptop busy  typing a letter I had told her to type.

“Of course boss,” She smiled exposing her gleaming white teeth. Her smile was contagious so I ended up smiling.

She was recently employed to fill in as my personal assistant. This was my reward of being the best employee for three consecutive months.

She was good in her work making me excellent in my performance.

“You can always call me Jared, or simply Jay,” I explained to her wanting to build a good rapport between the two of us.

My wife Bell always taught me to be nice to people and that is what I was trying to do.

I knew that she would be in cloud nine when I tell her that I am casual with Danica.

Talking of Bell, I had missed her like hell. The four hours I had been away from home seemed like a month.

“Okay boss,"Danica snapped me from my thoughts.

I glared at her to ensure she rectified the mistake and lucky, she did.

“Okay Jay,” She scoffed and I grinned at her exiting the office.

I walked into the busy street with my grey trench coat on. The cold was quite a lot but it was not enough to clear the streets from people or to stop the loud giggles and laughs the people made.

I walked hastily along the street trying to locate a baby gift shop.

I loved watching  people in coffee shops and others in bars. Being a dad is very engaging and I managed to visit only one of those places once in a month.

I was contented with her. I really loved my wife since the very first day. She was sweet and a good mother to my kids. I would always be faithful to her unlike my friends who jump from one lady to another in search of things, I had found one who could do it all.  My responsibility now was to  keep her happy and to love her till infinity. 

“MEG BABIES’ GIFT SHOP”

Ups! I almost passed it.

I walked in and went directly to the shelf which had all kind of dolls in all sorts of colours. A polka-dotted Mickey Mouse, a lime green spongeBob Square pants. A purple Sofia The First.

I could hardly choose one of them since my daughter was a fun of all the three animations.

After calling my wife and confirming, I picked two blue bunnies for Moss and a purple Sofia the first doll for Primrose.

Meg carefully packaged the dolls for me and I couldn’t wait to see the spark of happiness in their innocent young eyes when I gifted them.

After I left the store, I hopped into a nearby boutique to buy my wife Bluebell a simple yellow dress. I knew her taste of clothes. She loved black, grey and yellow dresses. Flowered chiffons were also her favourite.

Once I had all the gifts, I took a cab home.

My father in law, Oleander had helped me a great deal in finding a job since he was a good friend of Antonio. For the past six months, I had just  started saving for our sports car and I would suprise Bell and the kids sooner.

“Bell, I am home,” I announced loudly at the doorstep.

“Shhhh!”She come to hug me  and gestured me to stay silent for the baby was sleeping.

“Have this,” I handed her the basket I was carrying after kissing her on the lips.

We were used to kissing each time  but this kiss after I come from work was my favourite.

“Thank you,"She said jubilantly and rushed to the bedroom to try on her new dress.

“Rosy, come see this purple doll your dad bought you,” She called my three year old daughter as she served me  a cup of rose Mary flavored tea to keep me warm.

How does she manage to keep this household in order? Talking of blessing,saying she was one of them was an understatement.

I was lucky to have found her at a young age and being her  first boyfriend and lover, she loved me whole heartedly.

Bell was not like this ladies who spend their Monday to Monday drinking up in bars and staggering at their lonely apartments past midnight.

Rosy held her new doll closely as we took our dinner together in a round table located in our kitchen. She kept on entertaining us with a far-fetched story which we pretended to enjoy.

She looked upto me and I did not want to fail her.

After dinner,I showered as Bell placed Rosy to bed. It was her turn to read her  a bedtime story.

When I was brushing my teeth thinking of how to disclose the news of my business trip, She was suckling Moss who was asleep and still sucking her n*****s.

That should be me. Babies win our wives' hearts more than we did.

I sat beside her staring at her and she noticed. I knew it was the perfect time to disclose the four-day business strip.

“So, when are you coming back?” She inquired after I explained.

“In the next four days. Don't worry, we will be talking in the evenings” I stated touching Moss' hair.

“Toronto is far,”

“We will keep in touch Bell. Just promise me you will be okay,” I cajoled.

“Stay loyal,” She whispered.

“Of course Bell. You know I can never have someone else apart  from you.” I mumbled and she nodded with a graceful smile.

“I trust you Jay"

"Is that a yes?" I pledged.

“Let’s sleep,” She scoffed and I joined her I bed.

“Just give me a yes Bell,”

“Are we still discussing about the trip?” she asked.

"No,"I whispered shyly.

“Come on, let us sleep,” She insisted.

“Just give me a yes,” I begged joining her in bed.

“Yes,” She turned to look at me and I stared at her rosebud moist lips that turned me on.

Toronto

The conference room was filled to the brim with all kinds of people.

Everyone was dressed in their official garments with the basic colour of lawyers clothing. That is,none other than grey and navy blue. All this dull colours that do not speak volumes before you actually speak to a client.

Danica Adams was seated beside me with a pen and a notepad ready to jot down notes on key points that would better our private firm in one way or another.

She breathed deeply and fast and I could tell that she was scared of multitudes of people. We are talking about the tenth annual lawyer’s conference.

“Relax," I whispered tracing her palms with the tip of my fingertips.

“I am ok,” She gasped sweeping her lower lip with her tongue.

“Don’t be afraid to tell me what you feel,”

“Thank you Jay,” She hushed.

“LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WELCOME TO THE TENTH ANNUAL LAWYERS CONFERENCE.”

A loud perfect voice with British accent announced replacing the imminent silence that had hung in the room.

My eyes automatically stared at the woman seated at the center of the hall. She was wearing a grey skirt suit with a white blouse beneath it. She held her hair in a high bun. Her pen played on her hand as she concentrated on the papers just in front of her eyes. I tried but I could not take my eyes away from her.

All my heart wanted to know was her name. Nothing else.

I don't even know how I found my hands folded Infront of me. I never wanted her to see me touching Danica.

I did not want to risk that.
