Blemished Love - Season 1 - Episode 48

Melisa knew Henry was following them since they left Tom’s place and it confirmed Grissel’s fear’s earlier. She felt Bryan was just trying to protect them.

They got to his shop around ten in the evening and he had only one room upstairs which was the reason they were moving into a bigger room before that evening’s quarrel.
Bryan took the couch in his shop downstairs while Melisa had the whole room upstairs to herself.

Tom woke up in the middle of the night and his heart skipped when Grissel was not beside him. He saw the bathroom light on and was relieved but wondered why she didn’t call him this time for an escort. He la!d back waiting for her when he heard noises coming from the hall.

They were so deafening to his ears that his heart skipped yet again and he decided to check it out. Tom rushed to the bathroom and realized she wasn’t there, just then the light went off. He was expecting the generator to start working but it never happened.
‘Urrgh.’ Grissel made a faint noise from the hall.
‘This pregnant woman would kill me one of these days.’ He whispered to himself and went off with his head lamp which he picked from the washroom earlier.
‘Who is there? I have a gun.’
Grissel had dragged the couch to cover the door.
‘Love.’ He called from behind her.
The light from his head lamp brightened the whole room.
‘Tom?’
‘What is going on with you here?’
‘I think Henry is in the house.’ She said walking to him with the gun.’
‘Henry? And what are you doing with my gun.’
‘Why do you have a gun in this house?’ She asked instead of answering his question.
‘Bring it before you hurt me.’ He snatched the gun from her and realized there was no bullets inside.
He burst into a hilarious laughter.
‘What’s funny now?’
‘There’s no bullet in the gun and you carried it out of my safe naively.’
‘I didn’t know and besides did you hear what I said about Henry?’
‘Yes I heard you and I think you took care of that.’ Tom laughed again pointing to the couch behind the door preventing anyone from entering. He didn’t want her to panic as he also believed someone must have tempered with their electricity.
‘Tom, just go and check it out. It’s unusual for both our main electricity and generator to stop working.’
‘Take it easy. I would get a security for the gate early in the morning.’ Tom announced when he remembered Dane’s caution that evening.
‘What do we do right now?’
‘Nothing. I’m sure if Henry wanted to come in he would have a long time ago so let’s go back to bed.’
She frowned at him and walked to the couch behind the door. Tom figured she wouldn’t go up again so he followed and made her feel comfortable with her head on his chest and her belly staring at him.
‘Do you think Shirley is okay?’
‘She would be fine. Can we have a quiet dawn without worry?’ Tom told her rubbing her stomach.
‘Okay, but can you rub my feet for me.’
‘No, I want to sleep.’ Tom declined.
She looked at him and smiled. Tom knew what was on her mind. The reason he had to take Dani out on a Thursday night was because he refused to rub her mom’s feet.
He shook his head and proceeded in rubbing her feet. She slept off after a few minutes and Tom couldn’t help but worry about Henry’s presence in his house.
