Must Read: S.e.d.u.c.t.i.o.n - Season 1 - Episode 3

Linda glared at the ceiling like it was an arch-
enemy; she still thought about what happened
the previous night and it ached her not to know
what exactly happened. Tom was definitely in
trouble or he would not have come home
drunk. But it worried her really that he
preferred the drinks to her. He had always
come to her whenever he was in trouble or did
she do something that made him lose faith in
her? She wondered. Was it Jack?
No!
She hadn’t done anything but flirt with him.
Except the one time when they almost kissed
but that because she was sober and Tom
wasn’t present plus he was the cause of it
anyways.
‘oh honey,you are awake’
It was Tom and he was almost dressed for work.
She watched him quietly as he moved across
the room to the cupboard where he kept his
clothes. She felt like jabbing him as he dressed
innocently like nothing had happened.
‘Tom….’ she called just as he was about to live
the room. He stopped. ‘what happened last
night?’ she tried to be mild.
‘last night? Nothing happened dear.’ he really
seemed like nothing happened. ‘see you later
hon.’ he blew her a kiss and left scurriedly.
Damn!
If she had a gun,she could have shot at him.
Something was definitely up,she could see it
from the way he left. She contemplated on
whether to go after him but then she heard him
start the car and leave.
The car! She remembered. He didn’t bring his
benz home the previous night and now he was
leaving on the camry. Now she knew he was
definitely in trouble. But what could it be?
‘can i come in?’ she heard as the door slowly
opened.
‘oh God!’ it was Jack and he was in her
bedroom.
‘can i come in?’ Jack said in a hoarse
voice,trying to hide his evil grin
‘that question is a little late,don’t you think?’
she responded quite calmly
‘oh,right…’ he said and walked out of the room
but knocked before she could heave a sign of
relief.
‘what now?’ she said frustratingly. ‘you can
come in Jack’
‘thanks’ he said as he walked back in. ‘i see the
bed refused to let you move huh’
‘i see you came all the way to my bedroom to
talk about my bed’ she said with a high trace of
sarcasm and loved the effect it had on him.
‘sorry’ he said with his head facing his toes.

Then he moved towards the bed prompting her
to draw the blanket to her neck. ‘i want to
apologize to you’ he said softly
‘why? Did you tell the bed not to let me move?’
she smiled apparently enjoying teasing him
‘am serious Linda’ he scowled.
‘oh,you can be!’ her smile grew wider
‘well like i said,i want to apologize to you’ he
said ignoring her last comment. ‘But the
problem is,i don’t know what am apologizing
for.’ he paused to look at Linda who wasn’t
smiling anymore.
‘you don’t have anything to apologize for?’ she
asked puzzled
‘yeah,i don’t. Or did i do anything to warrant an
apology? Please,by all means,tell me.’
‘you know what Jack,just leave me alone’ she
said tearfully and she had no idea why she felt
like crying suddenly. Was it what he said that
got to her or was she still thinking about Tom?
She asked herself rhetorically.

‘i just feel that you tranferred your anger to me
last night and really i don’t blame you. I
probably would have done the same.’ he
noticed the tears in her eyes. ‘plus you are
beautiful when you get angry’ he winked.

‘oh jack’ she tried to hide the smile but it came
out anyway.
‘either way,am sorry for…… Nothing i guess’ he
smiled as he sat on the bed,stretching his hand
to her. ‘friends again?’
she took the hands smiling
‘we were not friends before,but friends now’ she
held unto his hands as he droolled at her. Then
the door was flung open
‘what are you doing here?’ a deep voice said
