Chapter 51
The buzz from Jane’s phone distracted the girls from the music they were dancing to on the radio. It was Friday afternoon, they just finished their class at noon. They were in the car, about to get to Jane’s boyfriend’s house.
Jane brought the phone out of her backpack. It was a message from her man; she opened it to read.
“Babe, where are you? Come now. I have been nursing a hard-on since you called me!”
She turned to her friend and said, “please speed up, I need to get to my baby asap!” she giggled like a schoolgirl. “My darling is waiting for me. Hurry.”
Helen knew something was up and said, “give that phone to me.” She reached out her hand. “I want to read the message that is making you shiver like this.”
“No no no no, darling,” Jane dropped her phone back in the backpack and zipped it up.
Helen shook her head and focused her attention on the road.
In just five minutes, they had reached Jane’s destination.
“Thanks dearie,” Jane said when her friend stopped the car. “Now listen very well.” She held her ear as if she was speaking to a child. “Take good care of Zaddy. Make both of you happy. So you can forget all about Tommy.”
“Yes mommie,” Helen grinned. “That’s what I plan to do.”
“I don’t want to listen to any negative gist on Monday,” she leaned over and picked her small suitcase off the back seat. “I want juicy news, wet news.”
“You are spoiled!” Helen burst into laughter. “Please go meet your man inside and leave me alone.”
Jane leaned over and hugged her friend. “See you on Monday and say hi to Zaddy for me.”
“Why don’t we go out for dinner on Sunday?” Helen suggested. “The four of us. I’ll call you tomorrow night to know if you both can make it.”
“Okay, no problem, we should be able to make it.” She said and got out of the car.
Helen walked into her sitting room one hour, four minutes after she dropped Jane off. She branched at the supermarket on her way to get more groceries for the weekend because of Darin’s visit. She had decided to make conscious efforts at loving her husband this weekend. That was why she agreed he should come over for the weekend when he suggested it. She wanted to get over the confusion Tommy was creating.
She was sorting out the groceries when her phone rang, she went to the sitting room where the phone was to answer the call.
It was Darin calling. She quickly swiped across the phone screen.
“Hello honey,” his voice boomed into her ears.
“Hello,” she replied sweetly. “Are you already on your way?” She thought he was calling to tell her he was already setting out.
“No,” he replied. “I’m still in Texas. That’s why I’m calling to let you know that I will arrive later at night with the last flight.”
“Is there any problem?” She asked. “Not at all. Kelly is in town. We have to meet with him at three thirty pm.” Kelly was one of their foreign partners from Denmark.
“It’s okay,” she said, feeling happy that he was not about to change his mind about the weekend.
They ended the call, and she returned to continue the kitchen.
She brought out two pieces of red snapper fish from the freezer and put it on the counter to thaw for grilling later in the evening.
She then went to have a nap. When the alarm woke her up two hours later, she went to the kitchen to start dinner.
She was just bringing out the fish from the oven when Darin arrived at nine later at night.
He walked into the kitchen and hugged her from behind. “Hi honey, it’s good to see you again.” He was happy to reunite with her as usual.
Helen turned around and smiled up into his eyes. “Welcome. I hope you had a pleasant flight?”
At that point, it occurred to her she didn’t have a pet name for him. She made a mental note to think up something later.
“Yes I did,” he caressed her ass; that action had become one of his favorite things to do to her and she liked it too.
“Go take a shower,” she said and moved away gently from his grip. “I will set the table before you finish up.”
“Okay,” he winked at her. “I really need to get out of these clothes.” He
said and walked out of the kitchen to have a bath.
Darin liked dinner. He packed the dirty plates to the kitchen and even rinsed and stacked them in the dishwasher.
They got into bed together after Helen had taken her bath. Darin, exhausted beyond measure, fell into a deep slumber almost instantly.
The weekend was so enjoyable; they stayed indoors throughout Saturday.
On Sunday, they went to the early morning mass and later went to dinner with Jane and her man.
“I enjoy being in the company of Jane and her partner,” Darin remarked after they returned and were changing out of their clothes. “Both of them are great company,” she said as she removed her wristwatch.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yeah, they are,” Darin agreed. “I hope they are already planning to get married as soon as you girls finish school?”
“Well, not so soon,” she shrugged. “They are going to get married after her Master’s degree.”
“What?” he shut the closet door. “Do they have to wait for that long?” It surprised him to hear that.
“Different strokes for different folks,” she said as she removed her earring. “That’s what her dad insists on.”
“I see. That’s very interesting though, I…,” the ringing of his phone cut him short before he could finish his sentence. It was a business call.
“Let me take this,” he pointed at the ringing phone. “Wait for me, don’t have your bath yet.” He said with a twinkle in his eyes.
His smoky look sent goosebumps all over her body. She nodded and sat on the love seat in the room’s corner to wait for him.
