Martha ran out of the house fast. Robert’s car was so close to the gate. She jumped in the car.

“What were you doing here?” he asked, staring at her.

“I was having dinner with my sister.” she answered.

“Didn’t you say she stays in Avenues on the East?” he asked.

“She moved last month.” she said quickly.

“Oh.” he said, starting the engine.

He drove off while Martha looked at him, hoping he would buy her lies. They arrived at her flat in Avenues.

“I brought you something.” he said and took a gift bag from the back seat.

“Oh, baby, thanks.” she said, receiving it.

“Let’s go.” she continued, coming out of the car.

Roberts locked his car and followed her into the building. She unlocked it and they went inside.

“I want to bath, I feel hot.” she said.

Robert removed his clothes and got under the blankets. Martha showered to wash all the aroma of Abraham off of her. Robert won’t like this. He seemed seriously in love with her. She grabbed a towel and wrapped herself in it.

“Come to Daddy.” he said after seeing her.

She went under the blanket and removed her towel. He went on top of her, she didn’t feel like it.

“Robert, can’t we just sleep? We’ll do it later.” she said calmly.

“Oh, OK.” he slept beside her and held her body close.

How can she handle two men? If prostitutes can, then I can, she thought and finally fell asleep. Robert woke up before dawn and started to kiss her. When she felt his lips, she kissed back. He went on top and was intimate with her.

The next morning, she woke up and Robert was already gone. She remembered that he ran to his wife and lied saying he was busy with work. She wanted to catch Abraham after her shower but she didn’t have his number. She took her phone and texted Nomatter.

Martha: Hi Nom, can I have Abraham’s number? I want to thank him for the lift.

Nomatter: I am good. 0778125048.

She dialled his number.

“I like what we have,” she spoke calmly. She already missed him.

“Me too, you are so romantic. Can I see you again?” he asked.

Martha couldn’t stop thinking about Abraham, even after arriving at work. She sat at the counter imagining herself getting married to him. Abraham was all he could think of. Robert noticed that she never checked on him the whole day. Marlon was wondering why she was not in the mood of being bossy.

“Today you are a good girl.” Marlon said.

“I am always a good girl. Why you even noticing me?” she asked.

Marlon came closer and whispered. “If you are free. I can take you to dinner.” She smiled at him and Robert came quickly after seeing them.

“I want to see you in my office.” he ordered.

She stood up from the high chair and followed Robert. He looked in a foul mood. She entered and he closed the door.

“What’s going on with you and Marlon?” he asked.

“Are you jealous?” she answers and sat down on the chair. “Nothing is between him and I. We were just talking. Why did you want to see me?” she asked, annoyed.

“On Friday, I will sleep over at your place. Buy you something nice.” he said, pulling her in his arms. He kissed her. She kissed back till he wanted to undress her.

“No, let’s do it some other time.” she said and walked out.

Abraham had sent her a message. She saw the message after leaving Robert’s office.

Abraham: I can’t see you today. I am with Nomatter. Maybe Friday.

Martha: OK miss you.
