I
was startled by the sound of the cock-crow. I never stay asleep till this hour…it’s
almost 7am and I haven’t even had the kids breakfast ready. I have to bath
them, prepare their lunch and Demola’s as well. Goodness! I didn’t even turn
the heater on last night.
As
I rushed down the stairs, struggling with my dressing robe and the scarf I tied
over the towel I used in soaking up my wet hair from last night, I was greeted
by the kids and Demola at the dining table. Demola had prepared the kids for
school and even had their lunch packed up in their lunch bags. At that moment, I
remembered his words to me the previous night……
I
slept off with my phone in my hand, wondering if Demola read the chats between I
and Damon or did he just keep the phone for me? What if he didn’t read any of
the messages….i know my husband isn’t the snoopy type, but what if he did and isn’t
just saying anything about it? My head was about to burst with all these
thoughts. I walked slowly to the dining to check if there was anything left to
be done, and to my amazement…everything was in place, just as I would have them
done. I look up at Demola, he had been staring at me the whole time because I met
his eyes fixed on me. He smiled and said…” you must have been really tired last
night….you obviously out-did yourself”…and I just smiled and said…”thank you
for your help….i really was tired”. He had this look I couldn’t explain and it
made me very uneasy. I just could not stand being looked that way…like he was
judging me. So, I dashed to the kitchen hoping to find some work to do….something
to keep me busy till they leave the house.
I dumped myself on the couch and wondered what my next move should be. I had to
come up with something incase Demola asked about the chats and who it was. I edited
Damon’s name on my BBM and he had is sister’s picture up. So….that could save
me. Just to double-check I was safe, I went back from when we started chatting
and as lucky as I was, I had disabled the chat history….so, with what I had
read, Demola would only think I was being too friendly. That’s fair enough.
I
took a cold shower since I went back to sleep just a few minutes past 10am….alone
in the entire compound with no activities from Damon. After changing all the
channels, I sat down to watch a Yoruba movie on Africa Magic Yoruba. They have
movies that stand out from the regular home videos. Just as I was getting to
understand the storyline of the movies, I got scared out of my skin by a tickle
on the sides of my neck….it was Damon! “how did you manage to get into the
house?”….i kept looking from the door to him and wondering how he ever was able
to get in. I never leave the doors unlocked. I asked him to go out the back
door because I couldn’t risk Demola coming….he doesn’t usually come home for
lunch, but since I believe he has reasons to suspect me, I needed to play clean. Getting out the back
door, Damon starts to literarily eat me up. I push him off a few times and
finally succumbed to his claws. After the session, I told him about Demola
reading the chats and how he’s been acting funny lately. Damon didn’t think it
was strange, instead he said it served Demola right for ignoring me and my “woman
needs”. That wasn’t a fair thing to say to a husband that I love…..loved….maybe
still love him a little, but it still wasn’t fair to him.
Damon
and I sat in the kitchen and talked about a lot of things. His plans for the
future after service and where he planned to settle. He said he wanted to
remain here in Abuja with me…..i wasn’t expecting that so I asked him if he wouldn’t
want to get married…have children….”your life cant end with me, I have a family
and I guess there just isn’t anything I could ask for again”….Damon didn’t allow
me finish before he barked furiously at me saying “you are my life and this is
where I belong…with you!” I asked him to calm down so we don’t get heard but he
just wouldn’t take any of that. He reminded me of my promise to him and how he
would never leave me or let me go. Am I dreaming? Is all of this happening to
me? Could this be true?
He
obviously is getting obsessed with me and its taking a wrong direction. This
could fold my marriage up. God! What can I do to just end this? “You plan to
get rid of me….you want to end this and go on with your happy life and family
and just dump me after very well using me”….”you are wicked and soulless”.
I
have really outdone myself with this whole mess. Damon just kept pacing in the
kitchen and I was trying to find the right word to calm him down. As I go close
to him, the only thing I found myself doing was wrapping and clinging all over
his body. Kissing him and craving him with every push he gave me. The more I kissed
him, the angrier he seemed to get and I just loved it because I knew deep
within him that he wanted me even more than I wanted him. I looked him in the
eyes and asked him to come with me. I led him to my matrimonial room and pushed
him on the bed. I undressed him and allowed him do the same….i told him he was
my man and that he needed to prove it to me. He grabbed me and threw himself
over me with all passion of love written over his face…in his eyes and I could
feel it in the breath from his nose.
I
had nothing to do; Demola already packed the kid’s lunch and his in the
morning. I don’t prepare dinner till about 4.30pm just after I get the kids
from school and before Demola returns from work. We were laying in my
matrimonial bed…I and a stranger that I am in-love with….or in-lust with. He is
younger, he is naïve, he isn’t so far from a teenager but he is more than the
man I can boast of my husband when it comes to THIS business. Damon is every
woman’s dream….every cheating woman’s dream…lol! I can’t believe I actually
cheat on my husband….and the way I love it and don’t feel bit guilty doing it.
I
wake Damon up and ask him it’s time to go because I need to go get ready to
prepare dinner and tidy up. I rushed to
the kitchen and realised the beef was frozen; I can’t believe I forgot to bring
it out earlier on. Even the stew I planned to use for the rice was still in the
freezer. Thank God for micro-wave, I forced them all out and timed them on high-heat
and 10mins while I boiled the rice and prepared the salad. With everything
almost ready, I set the table and run the hot water for both the kids and their
dad. Just as I dropped the juice on the table, Demola walked in with the kids
running to the table.
Without
a smile, Demola just said “hello Shina”….he never greets me that way. After washing
the children’s hands and serving their meals, I go up the stairs to find out
what was wrong with Demola. Going up the stairs….I remember that I didn’t double-check
to be sure Damon actually got up when I woke him or if the room was without any
evidence of what had happened earlier on. I was about to just run back down the
stairs when I heard Demola call out on me like an angry father to a child. My heart
started to thump in my chest and my mouth grew dry. Was I to run or just be
normal……maybe nothing was wrong. He could just be in a bad mood after all. Getting
to the room and almost peeping through the corner of the door, I saw Demola
with his back turned against the door and looking down to the bed. I tried to
get a clear view to see if Damon still laid there. “Come inside and shut the
door”…Demola said, almost like he saw me peeping.
Facing
me with red briefs in his hands and his finger pointing at a torn out piece of
Durex condom pack on the rug……my mind just went blank as I could see Damon’s
skin in the wardrobe! He never got up when I woke him and he was still naked…..Demola
always opens the wardrobe to drop his briefcase and hang his tie…..and I am
standing there with no answer whatsoever as to who owns the red briefs and what
a piece of Durex pack was doing on the floor of our matrimonial room.
