‘oh tom..’ Linda stuttered ‘what are you doing
here?’ were the only words she could find.
‘This is my room’ Tom smiled ‘isn’t it?’ he turned
faced Jack who was unexpectedly calm.
‘i mean,i thought you had gone to work’ she
managed to steady her voice ‘i didn’t hear your
car drive in’
‘i left some pretty important stuffs at home’
Tom said as he moved towards the table
ajacent the bed. He opened the top
drawer,brought out a brown envelope and held
on tight to it like a baby holding on to it’s most
precious toy.
‘i guess am off to work now’ he smiled at his
wife and brother uneasilly as he made to leave
the room but then stopped abruptly. ‘i know
why Jack is here’ he said as an alarming
expression over-rode Linda’s bright face while
Jack maintained his cool. ‘you are worried about
me’ his eyes on Linda ‘about last night’ he
paused while Linda relaxed a little and Jack just
remained unshakened. ‘Look’ Tom continued ‘i
understand that you are worried but
really,there’s nothing to be worried about okay?
So please stop worrying’ he moved towards
Linda placing his left hands on her shoulder
while his right hand still held on firm to the
envelope ‘you can smile now and let Jack go do
some flirting or whatever he does these days.’
They all laughed and Tom left the room
afterwards.

It took the sound of the gate and an extra three
minutes to break the akward silence that
hovered over Jack and Linda.
‘so where were we?’ Jack said hoarsely with a
grin.
It had been a week now since the whole unusal
incidence. Everything seemed to have gone
back to status quo or at least that was what
Jack thought. He was ready to begin his flirt
game with Linda again but he needed
something new as he had gone with everything
on his book. He watched Linda as she walked
into the living room wearing a thin black shirt
that exposed the bottom of her naval and a
mini black skirt that complimented the top like
icing to a cake.
‘who died?’ Jack called from where he sat,fixing
his eyes on the tv set.
‘what?’ asked Linda obviously confused
‘what’s up with the black riot’
‘oh this,i just wanted to feel comfortable,that’s
all’ she moved to site on the chair next to
Jack’s.
‘you know,black is known to absorb heat you
may want to take your clothes off in a matter of
minutes’ he winked as she rolled her eyes and
withdrew to sit on another chair distant from
him. He noticed and smiled amorously ‘scared i
might bite? Nah,not with Tom home.’ And they
went comfortably silent for some minutes until
Linda spoke.
‘you know he’s hiding something right?’
‘who?’
‘The pope’ she hissed ‘Tom of course. Whoelse
will i be talking about?’
‘i don’t know,me maybe’ he shrugged.
‘Be serious Jacky’
‘Jacky?’ he echoed,popping his eyes
‘i know he’s hiding something’ she ignored his
expression ‘and you know it too’
‘Linda let him be. He explained why he came
home drunk that day and things are back to
normal,so?’ he was no longer smiling.
‘am not talking about that; plus i don’t even
buy that excuse’ she fumed.
‘so whatelse could you be talking about?’ he
scowled
‘I woke up this morning to hear Tom singing
black street boys’ she said seriously.
‘yey! Tom sang,we should inform the police’ he
said sarcastically and she shot him a dirty look
‘what’s wrong with that?’
‘the man doesn’t sing; ever!’ she snapped ‘plus
who sings black street boy anymore?’ she
widened her eyes like she demanded an answer
but didn’t get it. ‘and he gets so happy these
days’ she stressed making Jack laugh out loud.
‘your husband is happier,he sings now,so
what?’ he teased ‘you are quite impossible’ he
stated as Linda smiled in a proud way then Tom
rushed down,all dressed.
‘honey,i got to jet’ he said,making for the door
‘see you guys later.’ he left.
‘see,he never does that too’ Linda said as she
rose and rushed to the bedroom. Moments
later,she rushed back down,all dressed and she
made for the door as well.
‘where are you going to too?’ Jack asked with a
confused look on his face.
‘where else?’ she stopped for a second. ‘am
following him’ she dashed through the door
‘Linda!’ Jack called but she was gone
