HIRED WIFE

After the brief introduction between the two kids, they surprisingly bonded so well and were soon behaving like children who has known each other from childhood.

Tessy went to the kitchen to fix something for everyone, while I assisted her in the cooking and arranging of the dinning table.

Soon we were done and invited everyone to the table.

Shortly afterwards; Angie, Chioma, Tessy and I were sitted and eating whilst laughing as one happy family.

After the sumptuous meal, Angie took Chioma to her room to show her all of her nice toys and games.

After the kids left; Tessy and I cleared the plates together, washed it and made sure the kitchen was in order before we went to the sitting room to rest on the sofa with Tessy lying on my chest.

Tessy began caressing my chest in a romantic manner, this my girlfriend is such a temptress.

” you’re looking for something, aren’t you?” I asked teasingly

” Not really!” Tessy said but I knew she was lying to me

” Remember Tess, we promised each other no lies? why are you now lying to me?

Tell me the truth or else I won’t leave you” I said tickling her waist as Tessy bursted out in crazy laughter

” Okay fine, you caught me!.. the thing is that I’ve missed your lips and would love to kiss you again but I don’t know how to demand for it” Tessy admitted shyly and it was now my turn to laugh at her shy expression

” Really? Common Tess… there’s no point to get scared or shy over asking me for something like that… I am your guy now so you are as free as the bird to ask me for anything aside sex of course, since we’ve decided to wait until after marriage!” I said to her and Tessy nodded her head slowly as she lifted up her head from my chest.

She stared at me still contemplating whether to kiss me or not.

I would have kissed her to make things easier for her, but I would rather she learns to build that confidence to initiate a kiss with me anytime she wants to.

I don’t know what her fear is but I want her to overcome it.

After staring for a while, Tessy gathered the courage and kissed me on my lips.

She bite softly on my lower lips seeking entrance and I willing granted her the entrance because to be honest, I too have missed her lips so so much.

We continue contesting on who is going to win the kissing competition we had created for ourselves, when we heard a voice that abruptly ended our short moment of bliss.

” What! What exactly is going on here Tony!” Sophie’s voice rang out at the door as she stared at me and Tessy defiantly

I was short of words and at the same time surprised to see Sophie back today, I hadn’t expected her until tomorrow

” Sophie I can explain!” I said getting up from the sofa and Tessy face showed her displeasure on my demeanor

” What is there to explain Tony? the fact that you are kissing another woman in my matrimonial sofa and home… Or that you might even be sleeping with her on my matrimonial bed… you are cheating on me, are you crazy?” Sophie thundered in a loud voice, whilst I stood scratching my head not knowing what to say to calm her down

” Sophie please calm down… Lets talk after you’ve eaten and rested, this is not the right time or place for this kind of confrontation.. Angie is inside and your voice might bring her out!” I explained softly in low tunes, and at the same time demonstrating with my fingers so the children won’t hear us

” Let her come out so she will see her father’s whore!.. look at me madam hired wife! Please was it written in your job description that my husband should be snatched?” Sophie asked moving towards Tessy who looked at her unmoved

” I don’t know what you are talking about.. I am not one to snatch a grown man who is old enough to make decisions for himself!… and as a mother like you, I will advise that you lower your voice for our children’s sake, please Sophie!” Tessy responded whilst continually looking at the entrance which leads to Angie’s bedroom

Clearly we shared the same fear which is the children’s emotional safety, if they get to see this scene playing out between three matured adults.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

” She is even commanding me to keep quiet in my own house, wow! This is serious!” Sophie shouted and I knew how she can be when she starts this way

” Sophie please calm down.. okay, if you insist we can talk about this outside.. I’m saying this because Angie and Tessy’s daughter Chioma is inside the bedroom, we can’t risk exposing them to see this kind of scenario at least for now!” I said trying to get her to reason with me, but Sophie wasn’t ready to listen to any voice of reason

” She even has a daughter?.. that makes it more interesting, let her come out and see what a slut her mother is… her name is Chioma right? Chioma! Chioma! Angie! Angie! Angie! Come out… mummy is here, Angie!” Sophie shouted at the top of her voice and almost immediately, Angie and Chioma came running into the sitting room.

” Mummy! we heard voices followed by someone calling us, is it you?” Angie asked looking at Tessy who nodded in the negative before replying her

” No Angel.. it isn’t me! It’s the woman over there who is shouting your name” Tessy replied pointing at Sophie who ignored her completely.

I kept praying in my heart that Sophie will be considerate of Angie’s emotions and calm down, it’s very risky to reveal the truth about Tessy to Angie in this unplanned manner.

” Angie it’s me Sophie your real biological mother who called you.. I just got back from the states only to see your father cheating on me with this woman named Tessy!” Sophie thundered sitting down on one of the sofa, feeling unconcerned about the outcome of her utterances on Angie’s and Chioma’s young mind.

” Mummy, what is this woman saying? what does she mean by she being my real mother? do I now have two mothers?” Angie queried and Chioma who was equally in a confused state, had to ask Tessy

” Mummy, is Angie truly my sister, how come I’ve never heard of or seen her before now?”

” Chiombaby and Angel, please you two should go to your room for now.. I will join you girls later to explain everything to you okay!” Tessy replied trying to send them away but Sophie stood firm in her decision not to let them leave without exposure

” They are going no where! Tony tell my daughter the truth now because if I do so, trust me, my words would not come out nice… So better start explaining to our daughter before I lose it completely!” Sophie said and I looked at her, wondering where the whole anger and insensitivity was coming from when we both know that the whole arrangements was her idea in the first place.
