As he seemed to have concluded reporting, Ishtar felt some loopholes in his narrative. There was more she expected to here from him that he had not said.
"Are you confessing to me for having done something wrong?" She stated, wisely driving him to a more satisfying explanation.
"Um, yeah I thought maybe it was wise if I tell my wife what really happened.... you know, more so when I return home to you in such a wasted state."
"Mmh!"
"I remember feeling myself walking on broken legs, watching the world around me spinning vigorously," his face frowned guiltily, " next thing I saw was my friend carrying me inside the taxicab which drove me to the address I, without conscious thinking, gave the driver."
Bob Lee lifted his sorry eyes at Ishtar, "that now I confirm it was my home address after waking up in my bed with my wife beside me."
In his words he seemed to remember less about all that went down in his wasted state, after the ten tequila shots.
"You're sleeping with another woman named Nadia Browne in our matrimonial!" Holding an angry attitude within, Ishtar spoke at the back of her mind, unsatisfied.
However, neither did she have anything to do about it at the moment, nor had she a humble way to make him confess to it.
But she had to find a way.
"Is there something else I need to know that you did, or said by the time you were drunk?" remember!" She tried to make him open up.
"I I don't know, maybe you can tell me... and how I ended up in bed, I swear on loosing my wealth, I don't know how!" This proved to her that he was extremely green about the reckless and arrogant confession he made to his mom in her presence.
Ishtar decided to ingore, she breathed out to relax, "so, this friend of yours didn't know you don't take alcohol?"
"That's the point, she took advantage of the fact that I once told her I don't do anything attached to alcohol to trick me out with a bet _ I was so stupid to accept," out of guilt Bob Lee panicked to speak.
Unthoughtful, as a bad lier, he exposed the nature of the talked of friend unknowingly.
"She?" Ishtar blurted, "all along I had a male figure in picture!"
Frowning in denial, "y yeah, a lady friend," hesitantly he stuttered in his response, but he hadn't any choice since the ball was already in his net.
Thoughtful, "You know you're my ride or die husband whom to my last breath I respect," Ishtar said calmly.
She faintly smiled allover a sudden, "so sorry if my asking too much has made you uncomfortable _ was only trying to make sure you're safe."
"I appreciate you," he said.
Ishtar became silent for some seconds. In her mind she concluded, "since you haven't said it to me that you have another woman out there, the battle has proved to face me directly _ action always speaks louder than words, so I must fight to my last sweat drop for my marriage."
"Are you alright?" Bob Lee wondered when he saw her absent minded.
Ishtar faintly smiled in pretence, " of course I am. Can you promise me one thing?" She asked.
"What's that?"
"From today onwards you'll never bet with anything that kills your charming personality, especially with ladies in this town," such a jealousy talk.
As a gentleman he sweared to her, "never again in life will I ever... except betting with you, or on you my love," he leaned in and found a way for his lips on hers, and then he smiled after.
But unknowingly to himself too, he was lying. Nadia Browne, as his moonlight, was to stop at nothing to seduce him into fulfilling her desires. And he was a vulnerable man in her world, not far from an addictive drug to him.
Magnetically, immediately after the first simple kiss, the serenity calmed Ishtar down.
Smoothly she climbed onto the bed, bringing herself to him, calling for his sexual services because she had taken long without his romantic touch and warmth. So bad she was missing him.
Ishtar passed her leg over and went further to sit on top of him.
Behind her dress were buttons on which she got her hands and unbuttoned them one after the other, and easily pulled out the dress, the only outfit she had covering her body.
Having starved for some good time, while on top of him, Ishtar ached foward and drowned into him _ she couldn't wait to serve herself such a healthy diet meal until satisfaction.
Just like a stallion horse rider, pulling up and down as it runs, Ishtar proved to be skilled enough with both her hands on his chest like she was holding them ropes, and in a few minutes she was already screaming a cry of climax.
"I really needed sex!" She weakly threw her exhausted self on the bed, looking at the roof.
Immediately a thought crossed her mind. She jumped out of bed to enter the bathroom really quick.
Unexpectedly, playfully however, as Ishtar walked to enter the bathroom, Bob Lee rushed and squeezed himself through the bathroom entrance past her, "hahaha, got you!" He laughed out loud.
Startledly, "oh my gosh that's unfair to me sweetheart!"
Standing naked in the middle of the entrance to the bathroom, side to side Bob Lee held both his hands on the angles.
"Maybe you can go downstairs and prepare a fast healthy meal that can bring me back to energy as I bath, how is that?" He told her in the face.
"That's fine," happily she responded and in a simple cloth she dressed and walked out, as she smiled back at him.
Outside, as soon as she closed the bedroom door infront of her, her face lost calmness. It turned very tough.
"Where is she?"
On fast feet, Ishtar began to search for her mother-in-law everywhere she expected her to be; in and outside the mansion premises.
From a distance, far beyond the wide paved compound, there Bob Lee's mother was, in a flower garden collecting different colors of fresh flowers to put in flower vases which she stationed almost in every corner inside her bedroom.
On very quick feet, Ishtar approached from behind her, displaying a gloomy no nonsense face, pretending to still be angry _ irritated by her betrayal.
Out of instincts, "Oh Ishtar, good afternoon!" Speaking loudly and smiling guiltily, mother-in-law turned around, all humbled.
Still aware of the pain Ishtar displayed in her sudden behavior during the early morning saga; dripping tears which she accompanied with anger filled words she was spitting from the deepest part of her injured heart, and how she walked out of her presence after, mother-in-law was forced to give harvesting flowers a break.
She walked politely towards her.
"Was also planning to come and find you after here," as mother-in-law walked politely with a special kind of attention, she tried to wheedle Ishtar into relaxing immediately after reading anger that was written on her face.
"I'm here to tell you that my husband doesn't remember a single word he spoke under the influence of alcohol, not even the drama he put up," metres away from her mother-in-law, Ishtar was standing with her hands wrapped while she informed her.
"That silly boy is pretending!" Angrily irritated by the embarrassment her son caused to her, mother-in-law tried to prove that she was not at all on his side.
"He's not," Ishtar strongly said, "and I want you to keep it a secret from him that I, his wife, knows something about his infidelity."
So fast up on her feet, "good morning Sir."
"We have a meeting in England tomorrow at 10am," he communicated, "be ware _ we'll be flying the four hour journey with my jet at 2am in the night."
Alright Sir, "Sonia gave a nervous smile which Bob Lee didn't notice.
Immediately Bob Lee closed the door infront of him, she placed the phone back on ear, "so your boss is alive and healthy!" Desperate and angry, Nadia spoke behind the phone.
"I don't think I understand what you're talking about," Obviously Sonia was confused.
"I heard him speaking to you _ for three days that man has not been answering my calls, imagine!"
"And you feel entitled? You and I know he's a married man!" Sonia frankly reminded Nadia.
"For the times he switches my body in positions while am naked, calling me baby, honey, sweet pie like he doesn't know that Nadia Browne are my birth names _ he forgets he's married?" Nadia rudely argued, "I am his woman too he must keep that in mind and treat me like one!"
This made Sonia wonder why Nadia was barking at her.
"But it was you who seduced him, right?" Sonia stated calmly and seriously.
"Are you really my friend?" Nadia asked in wonder.
Feeling drained, "besides, how does your relationship even concern me?" Sonia asked.
