The dinner was in an upscale french restaurant. The food was alluring. At the table everyone snickered and aquainted themselves. All but Rodger who had no apetite. He sat and stared into the plate. The aroma wafted over his nose but he was'nt moved. Questions flooded his mind like a hurricane, but he was calm. Dave sat opposite him. He stared at Rodger and pretended to be cutting his steak. There was once a steady silence which was broken by a sudden outburst from across the room and Rodger finally moved. The waitress moved to the table and asked if he was done with the food. He let her carry it. She felt his sadness and winked at him seductively yet secretly as no one would notice. Rodger didn't entertain the gesture for there was still only one woman for him. And you could feel tension amongst them all. You could sense anger, jealousy but couldn't pin point who it was coming from. Ebony got up from the table "i'm going for a bathroom break,please excuse me". Ivory didn't follow, for the vixen had plans up her sleeve. Rodger knew what the bathroom break was needed for. Early stages of pregnancy is always worse . He wished he could save her from the thoughts that tortures him. What if she dies during delivery? What if something goes wrong?
"Earth to Rodger" as ivory snapped her fingers, realising him from the world of thoughs that tortured him. He scrutinized her and the outfit she wore. It was an attire way out of line for a simple dinner. She reflects a sophisticated bitch. She wore a short fitted dress that emphasize her curves. It hugged her body and rested perfectly outlining her shape. He glared at her clevage which gave an eye full of her round watermelons. His dick starting pushing through his pants. The pants was in the way of his full erection. She saw him staring and when he realized she did. He looked the opposite direction and return his gaze on her again.Trying to cover up the long stare.
"Aren't you cold in that" he studdered
"You don't want to see me naked again" with a smile forming to the corner of her lips. This devastated rodger,he sipped on his water and started choking. Leaving the other guests perplexd at the table. Why is she being so spiteful. This wasn't call for? What is she being a bitch about?
Rodger was baffled by her responses. His erection fell and he was embarassed. After noticing pairs of eyes staring at her Ivory strained a smile. She tried to hide her hostility by folding a napkin neatly in her lap and sipping champagne. Her cheeks rose and the her jewels glimmered under the light from the chandelier. Her posture was undeniably classy even though her attitude was undesirable. Her friend at the table commented "so what else is on the menu" as if trying to deny the episode that just took place. What was left for Rodger was a mystery. An unsatisfied man, who roams the forest like a wolf. He was now in a strange land, strange home and worst of all slept with a stranger.She returned back to the table and took a seat. Suddenly, a grimace came across her face. Everything around her seemed to cluster her. She pitched up, glanced around and hastened towards the door shoving a waitress aside. Gasps lit up the room and people snickered.
At her dinnertable, everybody sat still in their seats. Their instincts had been realised. Something truly was on Ebony's mind. And she refused to let anyone know. To them at the table, perhaps she was having a difficult time or relationships .Rodger sat at the table with mouth agape. They stared at him in awe and he did not pretend that things were going well. He left the table "excuse me" and stepped out behind her.
The parking lot was quiet and dark with only streetlights offering light. He glanced around and spotted Ivory shovelling through her purse for her keys.
He walked over to her. Ivory held her head down still digging. He raised her chin and she yanked her face again.A tear trailed her cheeks.The keys fells to the ground. Ebony looked up at Rodger who gave her a scornful look as though she needed help. "You don't understand do you, you fucking don't?" She said.
"What, what baby. You've been acting like a freak lately, tell me" he replied
She looked down at the keys.
"I don't have time for you playing the damn fool, get my keys let me get my ass away from you"
"I won't" he replied
She paused and cut her eyes angrily.
"Them find a place to sleep because it ain't in that house"
Ebony knelt and clutched the keys opened the door. She looked into his eyes. A couple nearby stopped and digested the scene snipping to themselves. With a scary slam of the door. She screwed the tints and whispered "you dog" and the sound of rubber against asphalt lit up the lot.
"Fuck then, I'm your dog" Rodger shouted behind the speeding car.
And as she drove home,she thought silently to herself. How dare he treats me like a stranger? All of a sudden i'm at a quiet dinner. Something is going on and I must find out. They say in every circle there's a snake. There must be a judas at the dinner table. I sense it, I felt like i wasn't wanted there. And when i went to the bathroom hoping rodger would follow me. He never came but rather stay with her. I knew she must be out there. Who's rodgers mystery chick? She reached home approxiamately ten minutes due to speeding fast in anger. She took off her shoes, drank some warm milk, clicked the tv on turning the volume down and lied down in the bed. It was utter silence and she traced her hands beside her. That place where Rodger rested now bare. She could'nt forgive herself.
