Insane: Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Karen Wekler had gotten up to get the mail that fell through her mail slot that Sunday morning. She was surprised to find a small box with a few different kinds of chocolate balls. There was a small card attached to it.

Karen flipped the card to find some writing, it read, 

"My dearest Karen, you're so beautiful, I have alway loved you, love, Your Secret Admirer"

Her heart jumped at the thought if her having "A Secret Admirer", her thoughts were all over the place. "Who could it be?" "Do I know them?" "Will I ever meet them?" Will I ever find out who they are?" What do they look like?"

Her thoughts were rudely interrupted by her husband as he surprisingly took her, leaned her back and kisses her. When it was done, Karen had lost her train if thought, until her husband said,  

"What you got there sweety?"

Then she remembered the chocolates and the card. How would Joe react knowing his wife had "A Secret Admirer"? Would he get mad and try to find him?

"Uhh, nothing" she said nervously 

"What, is that my birthday gift babe? You know it's a little too early" he said happily.

She didn't respond 

"Come on just let me see" Joe said with a smile, as he pulled the small box and card out of her hand. He look at the box, then inside it. His smile slowly dropped as he read the card. He wasn't mad or sad, he just didn't like that thought of someone munching on his wife.

"I don't know who it's from Joey hun, it just came in the mail" she said, hoping to make him feel better.

His head slowly went up away from the chocolate and on Karen.  

"Do you have any idea who this at least might be from" he said, sounding paranoid.

"Like I said before, I don't know, it just came in the mail, babe are you, jealous?" She said with a growing smirk on her face.

"Jealous? Jealous? Jealous of what? I already have you while this guy hasn't even got the guts to tell you his name in the card" he said, sounding more stern.

"Is this the first thing you got from this guy?" He asked, he tone getting more protective.

"Yeah, this is the first." Karen said looking at the box then back at Joe.

"Here have your chocolate, tell me when you get another one so I can see if I can figure out who this is from, ok?" He asked handing Karen the box and card.

"Ok hun" she said taking both the box and the card and heading for couch.

Joe walked away and Karen had say down with his question replaying through her mind,

"tell me when you get another one so I can see if I can figure out who this is from, ok?"

What if she didn't him to figure out who it was, maybe she wanted to have someone else in her life, maybe she wanted to, cheat.

When the word cheat went through her mind she got the chills, what was she thinking? She could never cheat on Joe.

She looked at the card again, rereading the wording over and over and over again in her head,

"My dearest Karen, you're so beautiful, I have alway loved you, love, Your Secret Admirer"

The fact that someone other than her husband loved her felt good, someone other than the person she married wanted her, she felt like she was on top of the world. She held the card close to her heart.

"I love you too, My Secret Admirer"
