Black marriage - Season 1 - Episode 22

Anyone would think that Jessica was his father’s wife or daughter with the way they seemed to get along so well. Jessica hadn’t even said a simple ‘hi’ to him – her husband. He heard her ask his dad if he would love bread and eggs for breakfast and heard him talk of how hungry he was and how he could not wait to taste the inviting food.
He even called her ‘sweetheart’! Why should he?

“Don’t tell me you are jealous”.
Andy suddenly noticed the two pairs of eyes staring at him. His palms had balled into fists and he did not know that he was actually glaring.

“Why are you both staring at me like that?”
Mr. Williams looked at Andy and laughed. “Come on son, you don’t honestly think that this old man would steal your wife, do you?”
Jessica whitened and stood up. “Of course not” she murmured for Andy. Andy was just staring angrily at both of them, not knowing why he was angry. Jessica managed a weak smile, wanting to vanish. “I would see to the food” she was out of the room before anyone could mention jack.
Andy’s father looked at Andy. “Did you two have a fight? You both seem to be on the edge with each other, or is it another form of emotion I am sensing?” Mr. Williams hid a knowing smile.

“Don’t be ridiculous dad. It would help if you two stopped making me look like a boring furniture while you talk like soul mates”
His dad laughed. “It might help if you stop being utterly speechless whenever she walks in”

Andy swallowed and stood up. “I would be back dad” he murmured, heading towards the door.
“No sex in the kitchen Andrew”
“Dad” Andy warned.
“At least wait till I am gone, I need bacteria free food. I would be gone soon and by then, you would have the house all to yourselves”
Andy marched out and slammed the door as his dad’s laughter followed him.
As Andy walked, he told himself that he needed the TV to reposition his mind and make him stop thinking about Jessica, but even as he walked, he found out that his legs were not moving in the direction of the sitting room.

Jessica wheezed the eggs she had broken into a bowl. She had sent Ada to get sliced bread because the one in the fridge would not be enough to feed the hungry mouths. She was trying to concentrate on the food she was trying to prepare instead of on Andy. Instantly, she became aware of the slow strides that were drawing closer. She needed no one to tell her that it was Andy because she had become accustomed to his semi-slow and confidently calculated steps.
Immediately he entered the kitchen, she became aware of his presence in a terrifying way. She knew that he must be standing at the door because she could not hear any steps anymore. She swallowed and continued her task, not touching the salt yet for fear of putting more than expected in the eggs.
“Your hair looks more irresistible when it is without a band”.

Jessica heard Andy’s words and tensed. Andy knew that she was aware of his presence and smiled at her rigid back.
“Maybe I don’t want it to be irresistible” she gasped out. Is that my voice? She wondered. The pounding of her heart became louder than any other sound in her own ears. She did not know that Andy was just behind her until he spoke into her hears.
“It is still irresistible this way” she jumped, almost toppling the egg in the process. He laughed heartily, making her angrier.
“What the hell is wrong with you?”
“I don’t know, maybe you can tell me. You are the one who studied medicine, test me and diagnose my ailment” he had successfully pulled her into the circle of his arms. She squirmed and shook furiously in his arms, brushing her body against his and tormenting him the more.

“Let me go Drew” she was shaking, trying to loosen his hold. Her leg brushed against the evidence of his desire and she froze, standing dead still.

Andy bit back a groan as he stood with a lazy grin on his face. “It is not a good idea to squirm like that in a man’s arms, his body might get a wrong message” He grinned. He released her and she instantly jumped out of his arms. He laughed and strolled out of the kitchen.

Jessica felt shaky and alarmed. Andy affected her senses in a very strange way and it frightened the living day light out of her.
