To Find Grace

Episode 19

Grace looked at Jack as he spoke eating his food. She kept thinking of his words about her mother.

“What if he is right?” she thought to herself.
“What if there is something my mother never told me about my biological parents and I would never know the truth if I never try find them?” she asked herself silently
“Are you okey?” Jack cut through her thoughts making her murmur as she pays attention to him.

“Yeah, yeah am fine, guess am just tired from driving all the way” she smiled
“I know, thanks for this sacrifice and sorry again I could not come to the airport, I should have met this your sweet mother” Jack giggled

“Hm. I told her about you”
“And?” Jack asked.
“And she was being so protective, you be careful and all that staff mothers say you know how it is? “she nodded chewing on the salads.

“I know, so…” they went on talking spending the rest of the afternoon catching up.

Ben was in his office that afternoon finishing up the day’s work when he heard some sharp heels walking in towards him. In his mind he thought it was Jena who had called to tell him she was going to pass through and brief him on what she got from Jack`s school.
“Hey sweetie, long time” the sharp voice belonging to Chipo make him look up sharply he almost twisted his neck.

“What the hell? What are you doing here?” Ben asked standing up.

“Well, I came to see you since you have decided to ignore me for a while, I missed you know” she smiled walking towards him he pushed her away before she could get closer.
“What do you want? I told you I didn’t want to see you again” he raised his voice.
“Oh come on, you have grown cold feet all of sudden? What is this? You enjoyed being with me remember? Am here now, I love you Ben and am here for you. I know you feel something for me too” Chipo moved closer.

Unknown to the two, Jena just walked in at the moment and went right through the door just to find her husband pushed to the table Chipo trying to kiss him.

“What is going on here?” she asked her feet growing cold

“Oh my God! My love, this is not what you think” Ben panicked pushing away Chipo who smiled widely like a fool she was.
“What do I think Ben? I. .. I “she stammered loss of words she looked at Chipo from head to toe seeing the kind of clothes she had on.
“so it’s her huh? You had to pick your high school girlfriend, oh, I can’t be seeing this” she shook her head walking away Ben run to her.

“my love, please stop and hear me out! ” he shouted not minding the other workers watching him run to his wife with Chipo following behind her tight skirt moving up her thighs.

“go away, stay the hell away from me dammit!” he turned to yell in her face and run out to his wife who just got into the car and drove away without any effort to look back and Ben run after her.

“Oh am screwed” he whispered to himself holding his face in his palms he felt his forehead sweating.
