Must Read: S.e.d.u.c.t.i.o.n - Season 1 - Episode 5

Just as she had rused out,Linda rushed back
inside the house after about an hour,only this
time she had ruined her makeup; she was in
tears.
‘what’s the problem?’ Jack drew to her as he
gave her a comforting hug. He made to use his
hands to wipe the tears from face but withdrew
his hand. Instead he,pulled a face towel from
his pocket and dabbed her face carefully.
‘it’s Tom’ she said as her sobbing increased and
Jack knew it was time to take a seat. He
dragged her mildly to the couch,sitting her
down before he sat.
‘now calm down’ he said hoarsely. ‘tell me what
exactly happened. What did Tom do?’
Her sobbing almost resurfaced but she steadied
herself the best way she could.
‘Jack,Tom is having an affair’ she was quiet now
but staring attentively at Jack who seemed to
be taken aback by the new developement.
‘are you certain of it?’ he said painstakingly. ‘i
mean,how did you find out?’
‘i followed him,remember?’ there was no trace
of sorrow in her voice. ‘i saw him enter an
eatery so i followed him in stealthily. Then i saw
the lady.’
‘just that? How did you know that it wasn’t just
one of his business partners?’
‘he was basically smothering her,and she,him.

Or do business partners still do that?’
Jack was totally dumbfounded. He couldn’t
think of anything else to say to his brothers aid
and Linda read his mind.
‘don’t worry Jack you don’t have to say
anything. It wasn’t your fault.’ she stood
up,kissed him on the cheek closest to the the
corner of his lips and went upstairs.
‘what just happened?’
‘you’t can’t bring him here!’
‘like hell i can!’
Jack wondered where his latest dream was
going. This was unlike any dream he had
before. He couldn’t even see their faces,just
voices. Why can’t i see the damn faces! He
mutter,forcing his eyes opened,he gaze came
face to face with the blue ceiling on his room.
He hadn’t been dreaming. He was hearing the
latest noisy couple voices. Linda and Tom were
fighting again. He checked his time
‘jeez,it’s only 6.am!’
He mangaged to drag himself downstairs to see
his brother pacing up and down the room.

‘Tom….’
there wasn’t any response
‘Tom….’
still he didn’t answer.
‘Tom!’ This time even the neighbours could
have heard.
‘yes?’ Tom answered unsettled,he was a little
shakened.
‘what’s up? Where’s linda? I thought i heard her
voice? Or was i dreaming? I couldn’t have been’
he seemed to have confused himself.
‘are you okay?’ Tom was staring at him like he
had gone mad. He laughed at the irony of that.
‘Am fine but you are not’ He stared at his
brother with no wish of wanting to be like him.
‘you look like hell,what’s the problem?’
Tom didn’t answer. He just sat on a chair and
turned on the tv.
‘where’s Linda?’ Jack questioned. He wasn’t
going to stop asking the questions until he got
an answer and Tom knew it.
‘she’s got to get her boyfriend!’
‘Boyfriend?’ Jack said with a slack smile.’Tommy
what are you talking about?’
Tom raised his head towards Jack. His eyes
were cloudy,he was serious.
‘her ex is in town and she is going to bring him
here’ He was like a grany speaking in the
memorial of his heartrob
‘did you tell her she could bring him here?’
‘of course i wouldn’t but it doesn’t matter.

She’s
going to bring him. I saw her resolve.’
Jack managed to pull a soothing laugh
‘she wouldn’t’ he seemed like he was almost
certain but he knew he wasn’t.
Thirty minutes later,a car drove into the
compound; Linda’s car. Then there was a knock
on the door…..
‘come on in’ Linda told her guest as she walked
passed her husband and brother-in-law without
as much as acknowledging them. She headed
straight upstairs with two bags while her guest
was ushered in to a seat.
‘so..’ Tom started,gently rubbing his palms
against eachother ‘how was your journey?’
‘it was fine,thanks’ the guest gave him a gentle
smile that made him smile back.
‘am Tom,Linda’s hubby and this is jack’ Tom
said,tapping his brother on the back. He was
smiling so hard that Jack felt his was
illuminating the room.
‘am anna’ the young lady said ‘nice to meet you
both’
‘right back at ya’ Tom swayed playfully
‘you to ann’ as Jack spoke,she turned her gaze
to him just then Linda emerged from the stairs.

Tom stared at his wife with a mischievious smile
and then pulled Jack with him as he walked
towards Linda.
‘i knew you couldn’t do it’ He was right at
Linda’s face.
‘do what?’ she puzzled.
‘bring your ex here’
‘who said i didn’t?’ She smiled
‘what?Ann?’ his jaw dropped.

Then here was a knock on the door
