"I want to know if there is any vacancy. My..my ..my wife here needs a job." I blurted, pointing at Jasamina who was staring at me with her eyes widened.
I could swear that I saw her fighting to keep a straight face. I was sure she was as surprised as I was at myself for slipping that word from my mouth.
The word 'wife' was the only word that came to my head at that moment. Surprisingly, I'm not sorry for using the word. It didn't hurt too. Suzy has always been the only wife I had.

Her back almost slouched."Good afternoon ma'am." We greeted in unison, smiling softly at her."Good afternoon. I barely know any of you. Who do you seek?" She peered at us though her spectacles, cocking her brows.Jasamina replied before I could do so. "We saw the job offer pasted in front of your gate . So, we thought we should come here and maybe...see if I could get a job here."The woman heaved a sigh and took an unsteady gait to the front of the gate, staring at the paper. "I was supposed to have removed this paper. Someone has gotten the job already. I'm sorry for the stress." She darted her eyes to us and smiled softly, looking a bit sheepi

In the comfortable silence that followed we ate while Jaimie played with his toys lying down on the chair within my sight.We just finished eating and I reached for the plates when my eyes suddenly went to my baby just in time to see him roll down from the chair, falling to the floor."What the....!" Tanner exclaimed horrified but I was already rushing to my screeching baby, my heart beating fast with terror."Sorry, sorry, sorry baby, sorry." I mumbled repeatedly as I rocked him in my arms, almost tearing up when he won't stop crying.It was a hard fall for a baby and the first he had for as long as I can remember. My body trembled with adrenaline as I rocked him. Tanner walked into the room and came out with his liquid drug, already mixing it."Here, let me take hi

I lowered myself on the chair to sit her on my laps, she has her arms around his neck tightly.Her face was buried to my neck, her hot breaths against my neck causing a reaction to my body, which I'm trying to hard to hide from her.She pulled slightly away from me to look me in the eyes with her wet ones. "Thank you so much for being here with me. I really wouldn't have known how to have handled this all alone."I palmed her cheeks, staring into her eyes. "You would have handled it really well. I've not known a better strong woman than you are, honey." God, I couldn't stop looking at her lips.Soft. Plump. Red. Enticing. She licked her lips slightly and a groan left my mouth. I gave in to the urge riding me.

And then he started talking."I was once married to a woman I loved with all my heart. We got married six years ago but we dated a lot before that. Suzy and I met in highschool. It was love at first sight. People say love like that don't last....they say it's easier to fall out of love when you fell Intl love just as easy. They were wrong.""I can still remember all those time in highschool, we hung out a lot. We were in love and we tried a lot to make it work. It did. Hearing the marriages of my collegues then, I thanked heavens a lot for my own marriage. I had the best of it all."

Suzy's mantled dead body and our two children. One nestled in her womb and the other lying in his own pool of blood at the backseat. "I killed them all." I told Jasamina the very truth. Her hands she threw around my neck tightened convulsingly as she cried for him. "Tann!" She pushed away to frame his face with her hands on his beard cheeks. "It's not your fault! It's not your fault, do you hear me!?" I would have laughed if I could. Of course, it's my fault. I know Jasamina is trying to exonerate me but some things should never bee done.

Whenever I can, I'll put in money for you."Her eyes widened in surprise. Then she was shaking her head adamantly. "No. No, you've already done so much for me. No, I can't accept that—""Don't reject it, Jasamina. Please, I want to do this.""But—""I want to do this for Jaimie. That little boy inside that room." I stared at the room in question.

I could tell she's a very shy person but I reassured her by holding her hand as we walked into the living room room.Jasamina and Tanner were snuggled up on the sofa when we entered. The few seconds it took them to turn and see us by the doorway is the few seconds I used to take in the scene they presented.Jasamina had her head on Tanner's chest while his arm was holding her shoulder. The baby said between them, playing with toys.Seeing them that way, they looked like a family and my throat tightened. A family Tann lost. Jasamina would never know what she did for Tann.

Tann whispered as we all made our way out of the house. He stared at me and managed a smile.As we stood at the front door, Xazix turned to us, his eyes on Anya. "I know you're a good girl, Anya.
