‘i know your secret’
Jack heard a soft feminine voice feminine voice
behind. He dropped the Nora smith’s romance
college and turned back to see who it was; it
was Ann.
‘i beg your pardon?’ he was trying so hard not
to drool at her toned stomach which he could
see easily as she wore a stylish but too short
top.
‘i said,i know your secret’ she walked over to
the long swing chair and sat beside him. He
folded his arms and his eyes were upon hers.
‘which is?’ he asked with zest,trying to come up
with a possible reply in his mind but he could
think of any.
‘you love romance’ she smiled,he popped his
eyes. ‘romance novels. I have seen you so
immensed in them since i came.’
‘caught me!’ he smiled ‘it’s one of my zillion bad
habits’
‘another is?’ she appeared very interested
‘can’t tell you. You would be scared of me’
‘scared?’ she scoffed. ‘you couldn’t scare
anyone to save your life’
‘says who?’ he pretended to bd hurt.
‘says me’ she stucked out her tongue and he
gave out a soft laugh.
‘well,telling my bad habits could be very
expensive. Am not sure you are up for the task’
he emphasized.
‘am willing to pay’ he noticed her eyes,they
were blue. ‘anything’ she was serious.
‘hmm,let’s see then. But not now.’ His eyes fell
on his novel.
‘okay’ she was smiling. ‘you can go back to
reading your novel. I won’t make a noise.’
‘i don’t think i can.’ his gaze moved from the
bottom of her stomach till his gaze met hers. ‘i
will be too distracted’ his grinned devilishly.
‘and why is that?’ she said in a husky voice.
‘Anne!..’ a voice called from inside the house.
‘husband calls’ Jack smiled and picked up his
novel.

As he entered into the living room,jack noticed
that linda won’t stop staring at him. It wasn’t
the normal look she used to give him,it was
something else,like detest.
‘am i so handsome that you can’t even get your
eyes off me for a minute?’ he teased
‘what i you doing?’ there was seriousness in her
voice.
‘me? Am talking. You are staring’ he said with
sarcasm.
‘she’s married you know?’ she moved her gaze
from him to the door adjacent him,then back to
him.
‘who?’ he asked lost.

‘Anne’
‘Anne?’ he face spelt confusion. ‘so?’
‘i saw you with her earlier. Are you crazy?’ she
spoke in a low tune. He couldn’t help but laugh.
‘so that’s what this is about?’ he scoffed and
took a seat. ‘number one,she is engaged,not
married. Number two,i don’t see what it has got
to be with me. Number three,you are
married,you know that right?’ he said the last
phrase in a feminine voice.
‘what’s that suppose to mean?’ she snapped.
‘it means,you shouldn’t sound so jealous’ he
blurtted carelessly.
‘who said am jealous?’ her eyes turned orange.
‘it obvious.’ he noticed the looked on her face
and took his voice down a notch. ‘look,there’s
nothing happening okay,she’s just fun and you
know i love fun’ he winked hoping to provoke a
smile. She didnt smile. Just then, Anne
emerged from the stairs to meet an
uncomfortable silence.
‘am i interupting anything?’ she asked
innocently,Jacked moved his eyes to her and
smiled.
‘no,you are not’
‘i that case then,Jack i need your help with
something’ she ignored Linda’s questioning look
and went outside. Jack seeked permission from
Linda with his eyes. He got none but went with
her anyways.
Jack followed her to their spot; the swing chair
and they sat.
Like a gentle hurricane,an uncomfortable
silence engulf the both as they stared at the
blue sky. It reminded him of chelsea. He
scowled as he focused his hearing like a laser
hoping to hear her speak but she remained
mute. He wasn’t going to speak first,not that he
was short of words,he was seldom short of
words. He was only irritated whenever a female
said she wanted to something from him and
then would expect him to begin a conversation.
He just kept gazing at the sky as he replayed
the previous days match between chelsea and
bayern munich,on his mind. This time both
Ribery and Xavi Martinez where shown red
cards and chelsea Led by seven goals to
nothing. As he imagined the impossible
event,he smiled like a satisfied rooster,then she
spoke.
‘what are you doing?’ for a second he was sure
it was Linda speaking. It sounded like the kind
of question she would ask but when he look at
the lady beside him,he saw Anne and she was
beautiful but she was nothing like Linda.
‘Am thinking about chelsea’ that cameout at
the last minute. He had meant to scold her for
being mute for that long but he swallowed it.
‘are you a fan?’ she asked in a soft voice.
‘yeah’
‘sorry’
He stared straight at those blue eyes.
‘so what up? You called me here.’ he said calmly
‘this’ she smiled coyly,bent towards him and
planted a kiss on his lips. The she stoodup
abruptedly and within a minute,she was out of
sight.
‘what just happened?’ he muttered under his
breath.
His instinct told he that he was being spied on.
For one of the first time in his life,his instinct
was totally right. As he turned behind him,he
caught a glimpse of Linda staring from the rear
window……
