SEDUCTION Episode Six ‘oh tom..’ Linda stuttered ‘what are you doing here?’ were theonly words she could find. ‘This is my room’ Tom smiled ‘isn’t it?’ he turned faced Jack who was unexpectedly calm. ‘i mean,i thoughtyou had gone towork’ she managed to steady her voice ‘i didn’t hear you car drive in’ ‘i left some pretty importantstuffs at home’ Tom said as he moved towards the table ajacent the bed.He opened the top drawer,brought out a brown envelope and held on tight to it like a baby holding on to it’s most precious toy. ‘i guess am off to work now’ hesmiled at his wife and brotheruneasilly as he made to leave the room but then stopped abruptly. ‘i knowwhy Jack is here’ he said asan alarming expression over-rode Linda’s bright face while Jack maintained his cool. ‘you are worried about me’ his eyes on Linda ‘about lastnight’ he paused while Linda relaxed a little and Jack just remained unshakened. ‘Look’ Tom continued ‘i understand thatyou are worriedbut really,there’s nothing to be worried about okay? So pleasestop worrying’ he moved towards Linda placing his left hands on her shoulder while his right hand still held on firm to the envelope ‘you can smile now and let Jackgo do some flirting or whatever he does these days.’ They arelaughed and Tom left the room afterwards. It took the sound of the gate and an extra three minutes to break the akward silence that hovered over Jack and Linda. ‘so where were we?’ Jack said hoarsely with a grin. ** It had been a week now since the whole unusal incidence. Everything seemed to havegone back to status quo or atleast that was what Jack thought. He was ready to begin his flirt game with Linda again but he needed something new as he had gone with everything on his book. He watched Linda as she walked into the living room wearing a thin black shirt that exposed the bottom of her naval and amini black skirt that complimented the top like icingto a cake. ‘who died?’ Jackcalled from where he sat,fixing his eyes on the tv set. ‘what?’ asked Linda obviously confused ‘what’s up with the black riot’ ‘oh this,i just wanted to feel comfortable,that’s all’ she moved to site on the chair next to Jack’s. ‘you know,blackis known to absorb heat youmay want to take your clothes off in a matter of minutes’ he winked as she rolled her eyes and withdrew to sit on another chair distant from him. He noticed and smiled amorously ‘scared i might bite? Nah,not with Tom home.’ And they went comfortably silent for some minutes until Linda spoke. ‘you know he’s hiding somethingright?’ ‘who?’ ‘The pope’ she hissed ‘Tom of course. Whoelsewill i be talking about?’ ‘i don’t know,memaybe’ he shrugged. ‘Be serious Jacky’ ‘Jacky?’ he echoed,popping his eyes ‘i know he’s hiding something’ she ignored his expression ‘andyou know it too’ ‘Linda let him be.He explained why he came home drunk thatday and things are back to normal,so?’ he was no longer smiling. ‘am not talking about that; plus i don’t even buythat excuse’ she fumed. ‘so whatelse could you be talking about?’ he scowled ‘I woke up this morning to hear Tom singing black street boys’ she said seriously. ‘yey! Tom sang,we should inform the police’ he said sarcastically and she shot him a dirty look ‘what’s wrong with that?’ ‘the man doesn’t sing; ever!’ she snapped ‘plus who sings black street boy anymore?’ she widened her eyes like she demanded an answer but didn’t get it. ‘and he gets so happy these days’ she stressed makingJack laugh out loud. ‘your husband is happier,he sings now,so what?’ he teased ‘you arequite impossible’he stated as Linda smiled in aproud way then Tom rushed down,all dressed. ‘honey,i got to jet’ he said,making for the door ‘see you guys later.’ he left. ‘see,he never does that too’ Linda said as she rose and rushed to the bedroom. Moments later,she rushed back down,all dressed and she made for the door as well. ‘where are you going to too?’ Jack asked with a confused look on his face. ‘where else?’ she stopped for a second. ‘am following him’ she dashed through the door ‘Linda!’ Jack called but she was gone
