"Can you believe the idiot who calls himself my husband, told me he's still in the marriage because of that God forsaken idiot. That wretched househelp he's having an affair with?" Jordan informed with frustration written all over her face.
A banker and of course pretty. At thirty six, she was happily married with two kids. Things were moving on smoothly until she was transferred to the headquarters of First Bank.
"Barry said that?" I asked not surprised at all, she never created time for her family. All she cared about was dressing smartly and heading to work.
It was a cool Sunday evening, both Jordan and I, with Efyah took advantage of that lovely evening to hangout together. We were to the SPA, our usual spot for gossiping.

She-""Oh man, I think you need to get married as soon as possible."This statement got me pissed."What?" I growled.He cleared his throat before he spoke up. "Ruby needs a mom. What the hell were you thinking when you told her you'd attend the mother's meeting. Jesus H. Christ. You're not a woman." He gave me the stare, that read 'You're more stupider than I thought'."And who are you to tell me that?" I asked in annoyance, shooting him a glare.He

Alex"I miss you, Al." She said."I miss you more. You were on my mind each passing day. Still is."There was no response from her, but she closed her eyes shut. Then hummed a foreign sound that sent bittersweet shivers down my spine.Noticing my tensed mood, she flicked her eyes opened and rewarded me with grin. Showing me the gap in her teeth which I loved so much. Then she pulled away from me.It was odd because we were the only couple on the beach, no human figure was there. Not even Bruce and Benny, my dogs. Which became more fremd, because I loved taking my dogs with me for an evening walk at the beach. Wether with company or not.

I had trekked till my foot hurt and I was sweating profusely, with big fat patchy designs of perspiration on my under arms. At a point, the pain in my chest grew worst and the knots in my stomach tightened like I was having period cramps. I increased my pace.I was now few blocks away from my steet when I spotted a black car with black tinted glasses trailing after me.
