The Perfect Couple

Episode 22

The only thing Nick could wish
for at that
moment was for the earth to
open up and
swallow him. His randy
hardened J0yst!ck
instantly
became flaccid and his heart
began to beat so
fast like it hard gone out of
control.

Never in his life had he found
himself in such
situation. He regretted
everything he had done
to this woman and every
sexual desire he had
had for her.
His legs remained glued to the
ground and he
didn’t even have the slightest
strength to life
them up. He just helplessly
stared at the couple
in embarrassment, shame and
fear.

Ruth quickly tied up her night
gown and
walked past her husband, into
the house.

Paul stared after her and then
looked at Nick.

The man was more confused
and embarrassed
than angry. He just didn’t know
what to say to
Nick. He quickly entered the
house and b@nged
the door.

Nick instantly unfroze and
crawled back into his
house. For the first time in his
life, he hated s*x.

Worst still, he felt like packing
his whole
belongings and leaving his
neighborhood.

Why had he gone to see that
woman this
morning? Hadn’t Boma
promised him she was
going to come around today?

She was even
going to come with another
girl to have a party
with him! what in the world
did he want from
that married woman again. He
couldn’t control
his heart beat as he pounced
around restlessly
from one room to another. He
felt like cutting
his J0yst!ck off.
He wondered what was going
on in the next
door. Was the man going to
send his wife
packing? Nick’s head wanted to
burst at this
thought. What would happen
to the poor lovely
woman? He was going to be
the cause for the
break up of this lovely couple’s
marriage. Would
he ever forgive himself if this
happens?

He couldn’t wait for Monday to
reach so that he
would go to work and process
his transfer. He
now needed it urgently.

He listened to hear if the
couple’s were
quarreling.

Yes, he thought he could hear
something.

In the other house, Paul had
followed his wife
into the bedroom. He couldn’t
believe what he
had just witnessed. He had to
look intensely at
Ruth to ensure an alien was
not impersonating
her. she avoided eye contact
with him as she
acted restlessly in the house
sitting and
standing and adjusting her
cloth.

Paul thought she was different.
She looked wild
and slutty. What in the world
had happened to
his once God fearing virtuous
wife?

He was so embarrassed to
speak up. He was
short of words.

“What was that?” he asked in a
mixed tone. His
voice was both angry, confused
and inquisitive.
“What?” she asked,trying to
sound confident
and making great effort not to
look at him.

“Ruth! Are you alright?” Now
his voice was
raised. It was also angrier.

“wait… Are you
trying to sleep with him? Is
this what you do at
home when I am out for
work?” Paul was almost
certain that demons had
possessed his once
innocent and God fearing wife.
What happened
to the woman he married?

Paul had never raised his voice
at Ruth before.

They had never had any cause
to exchange
words. Ruth hated this
moment. She hated the
fact that her husband had
caught her in a
disgraceful mood. She hated
the fact that she
had stooped so low to behave
like a lady with
no home training just because
she wanted
extra sexual satisfaction. She
felt embarrassed
and wondered what would be
of her. What if
Paul decided he would end the
marriage? What
would people say? She would
become like
women she had looked at with
disdain in the
past. She even felt worst
because she was
actually guilty of pre-marital
s*x and had
enjoyed every bit of it.
But hadn’t Paul acted
disgraceful too? Hadn’t
she watched a video of him
sleeping with
another woman? Yet she felt
much
embarrassed.
Paul was simply short of words
as different
possibilities if what his wife
could have been
doing all these while ran
through his mind. He
couldn’t believe this was his
once lovely wife. He
could only stare at the
stranger, anger boiling
up within him. He wanted to
hurt her; he even
wanted to kill her. But he was
restrained
because of what he had done
two days ago.

How could he be justifiably
angry when he had
also disgracefully made love to
a strange
woman recently? But he was
still mad at Ruth.
