Then came you

Chapter 31

"Amani why are you so home early today?"
Habeeb was sitting on the couch, his legs stretched out on top of the table drinking a cup of tea.

"He told me to go home." She collected the cup of tea from him and drank it all.

"And you came back, he fired you came back just like that?"

"Nope he didn't fire me, I kissed him, we kissed, that was why he sent me home." She said blandly.

Habeeb's eyes widened like saucers, he was happy, "Then  why are you so sad, is it not part of our plan, it's going smooth yeah?"

"It is not going smooth Habeeb, what if he really fires me, I need this job, he loves his wife so much that I know he would do anything for her."

Habeeb gripped the chair tightly, pangs of jealousy had evaded him. "Look, you are not getting fired Amani, you do what you have to do okay you can't mess this up."

"I don't know what I am going to do Habeeb?" "Good, I have a plan." Habeeb said.

"You do?" She looked at him skeptically. "Relax we are not killing him." Habeeb said.
"Good to hear, so what is your plan." Amani asked.

He whispered in her ears. "Oh my God Habeeb you are the son of the devil himself, what a crazy idea."

"I know right, Im'ma genius." He said as his eyes roamed over her attire. "You can breathe in those?" He asked.

"I hardly can,  please unzip it  for me." She asked.

He helped her unzip it,  " Do you know that you are  very beautiful, Irfan doesn't know what he is missing, I swear to God."

He brushed her hair to the other side of her neck, and kissed her there. Amani moaned his name softly.
"Habeeb what are you doing?" "Are you not feeling what I am feeling, don't you like it?"

"I like it, don't stop Habeeb." She groaned softly.  "That's good, someone has to appreciate all this beauty." In no time they were laid on the couch, unclad.

"Hey IR, wake up you are going to be late for work."  "Am not going early Nas."

"Why not?"  "I don't know, I am really tired, yesterday there was a lot to do at the office."

"Yeah, is that why  you  were so tired,  is something bothering you?"

"Nope nothing,  speaking of work, I am firing Amani today."
"Wow I had totally forgotten about her, that was two months ago so why are you firing her all of a sudden?"

"I don't know, she has been giving me a vibe lately, something fishy is going on, you were right Nas, am sorry."

"It's okay Irfan." She squeezed his shoulder tightly, and went to her closet looking for what to wear that day.
"What kind of vibe has she been giving you?"

"I don't know, she acts strange lately." Irfan said.
"How? the kind of way she was acting before she ran away with your money or sluty?"
"I think the both, but more of before she ran away with my money."

"That's good, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. It's good you noticed earlier."

"Yes Mr Irfan you called for me."  "Yes I did, and remove the  eyeglass, who told you, you could wear shades  when you are talking to me."

"Am sorry sir." She removed the shades  slowly. Exposing her black eye,very black  bruised eye.

"What happened to your eye Amani." "It's nothing just  forget about it."
"Okay fine, I wanted to give you your resignation letter."
