Hell Of A Marriage {18+}

Chapter five - Entertain me

She frowns in confusion. What did she do now? “You mean now?” she asks.

“Now!” he thunders and makes his way past her.

Her stomach growls aloud from emptiness, but she knows one need is higher than hers and Keenan, her boss’ need is more than her stomach’s.

So much for her lunch break.

Murmuring her complaints to herself, she follows him behind. Just like every time he came into her office and took her to lunch for four years, the eyes of other colleagues trail and longer on them, especially on her. She tightens her hand on her pause and silently follows behind him like a sheep to the slaughter.

He enters his office and leaves the door open for her and Vary slows down in her walk, debating why he is choosing to treat her this way.

She has done nothing wrong yet and the heavy pounding of her heart shouted that something bad was about to happen.

Many thought rushes to the surface in an instant. Is he tired of her keeping his most hidden and bizarre secret? Is he finally going to do what he’s always wanted, kill her? Why does she have to have bad luck with everyone? She thought.

“Get in here!” Snaps Keenan with a stern voice, “Ms Klean or I’m going to have to drag out in myself.”

She doesn’t know if he plans on dragging her living or dead body into the office. Dead for sure if she pisses him off more than she already has.

But did she piss him off?

“Ms Klean...” he calls out in a warning voice from inside. She was pushing his limit with patience and today was not the day to be doing that.

“I’m coming in already.” She enters yells out, entering the office and closing the door, “Just so you know, if you’re tired of me keeping all your secrets, you don’t have to kill me you can just have my memory erased it’s called the advancement of science and technology or something like that, I don’t know saw something like that on YouTube the other day.”

Is she crying? Keenan asks himself as he watches her crumble before his eyes.

“Sit down, Vary!” he orders and when she does, he pulls out and hands her his handkerchief. “no damn it! I will not kill you even though you make me want to every time.”

She wipes off the rest tears in her eyes, and still smiles even in her pathetic state, “Really? Okay.” she says through a small whimper.

Once the tears are out of her face, and her composure returns, she hands his handkerchief back to him, but he shakes his head silently, telling her to keep it.

Silence evades their midst and Vary keeps her eyes glued on her slightly shaking fingers, which is also forced Keenan to look at and for a weird reason he finds her tiny finger beautiful, but he pulls himself out before he wanders further with his thoughts.

“So, did you miss me?” he suddenly asks, straightening up in his seat.

“What?” she asks, a little startled by his question and when her eyes meet his, the look he has is the amused look on his face.

He shrugs casually, not finding anything confusing with the question he just asks, but then again, this is Varisha. “Did you miss me? It’s a simple question.”

She goes silent, not knowing how to answer him. She has Levi, her boyfriend whom she adores, and she finds him the man of her dream. They began dating two years ago after things had ended with Drew and, compared to Drew, Levi was an angel sent to her. He understood her and does everything to keep her happy and satisfied and Vary knows she can never ask for another.
