Twisted

cheaters 3

  During their stay, the family got to visit almost every place in Riyadh. They even went and supported Tim when his team played against Al Wahda.

    Tim drove his family to the airport and hugged them as he watched them hand over their luggages that went into the aircraft hold.
 
    Shila was sad to leave but Tim had promised to have her back as soon as he could. Probably after a month or two.
   
    While on the plane, Bianca began narrating her experience to Shila who was more than eager to listen.

    She even told her about how Tim had come into their room in the middle of the night and argued with Mia about something that concerned her hiding under his bed.

   Shila was confused, she recalled that after they left the shower, Tim excused himself to go grab a glass of water after working extremely hard for three hours.

   He had taken longer than expected but she thought that he was just tired after a month of not making love.

   Questions ran all over her mind and she couldn't wait to talk to her best friend but as soon as she landed in Kenya, things had changed.

   Claire seemed happier than before. They went to their house and Claire could not stop herself from talking about Emmanuel.

    She admitted to Shila that one evening as she and Emmanuel were closing up the clinic, she fell but  Emmanuel cought her and they kissed.

   They proceeded to making love in the clinic on top of the secretarie's desk.

  "I did not see that coming." Shila said almost running out of words to say.

  Seeing her friend so happy, she couldn't just drop the bombshell of suspecting Tim to be cheating.

   Claire suddenly changed the topic and began narrating to her friend how Erick had changed into a monster. 

   She continued telling her of how Emmanuel had been there for her and that he proved that good men still existed in this world.

   However she had discovered that Erick had been suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

  Erick had been to war in somalia and the condition was triggered by the terrifying events that occured in the war.
  
  The condition spiked anger and hatred towards people. He slowly became detached from Claire and that's one of the reasons he began giving her severe beatings.

  Erick had called her the previous two nights and he apologized to her. The government retired him and he was taken to therapy after they discovered his condition.

   The two mutually agreed to end the relationship after four years of dating.

  "I feel sorry for him." Claire concluded.

   "How about you?" Shila asked.

   "I'm okay especially now that I'm with Emmanuel."

  Shila was tired and she excused herself and went to a certain restaurant.
  
   She went to the bar and ordered a bottle of wine. After some shots, she turned her head and saw a bald headed guy seated alone in a corner.

   He had his back faced to the wall and shila couldn't tell who it was.

   "It won't hurt to give him company." She thought to herself.

   She was a little bit drunk and she staggered to where he was. She asked if she could buy him a drink but the gentleman refused.

   What a small world. The guy lift his head up and saw shila seated across the table. He was also a little bit drunk but was happy to see her.

    Shila smiled when she saw Mike  then almost immediately began sobbing. She poured her heart out to him about how she thinks his rich boyfriend is cheating on her.

    It was the alcohol controlling her emotions. Mike missed her so much and they talked for long ordering more shots of tequila.

    They left the bar and Mike tried to open the door but he was too drunk to drive.
  
    One of the waiters ordered for a cub and requested him to come for his car the next day.

    Upon entering the taxi, shila blacked out. Mike not knowing where she lived had no choice but to give his address to the cub driver.

  *********************************

   Shila woke up with a terrible headache. She was naked and Mike was beside her still snoring. Last night's memories flashed in her head all at once and she was ashamed of her actions.

   Her phone rang and she picked it up. It was Claire.
  
    "Finally you have picked up your phone, where are you?"

   "Ill tell you when I get there." With that she hanged up the phone.

    Shila took a shower and as she changed into her clothes, she bowed her head down in shame. This was the second time she was sleeping with him.
 
   She took a taxi and went straight to her apartment and slept until noon when Claire came to check up on her.

   She narrated everything to her best friend of how sad she was after leaving Abu Dhabi and how she suspected Tim.
  
    "Did you use protection?"

   Shila shook her head as she couldn't remember Mike put on a condom.

   Claire blamed herself for not being there for her friend but it had already happened and there was no going back.
