Seventy Four

He laughed then and thought, 'I am hearing voices now,' but then he replied, "I don't know, you tell me."

"Well didn't you tell that secretary of yours that you are expecting a Miss Steelton to come in?"

"Yeah, why did I day that? You are right, I should let you do the managing of the store, and I will try to manage my relationship? Don't you think that's a good plan?"

Caleb heard nothing, "Good riddance, now where are they going?"

Caleb followed them at a distance, he saw them stop, then went into the bank. He stood opposite waiting, knowing she had unfinished business to attend to, after being busy fixing his for the last two weeks. Then the idea crossed his mind, 'Suppose she came for me to go with her, but seeing Jezell there she left, then went and get Mitch.'

Half an hour late, she stepped out and so did Mitch, then Mitch held her hand, 'Now what is his plan?' Caleb thought as he watched her reaction, they walked along like that as she seemed not to mind. Sarahiah was laughing, and he couldn't keep his eyes away from her, then they went to the cafe.

Caleb leaned against a wall looking on, she just had a soda and a piece of cake, while Mitch had a coffee and doughnut. Half way through her cake, Sarahiah's phone ring, it wasn't a long conversation. Caleb saw her stand up, then went and kissed Mitch cheeks and left, 'Good, I don't have to worry about him, I wonder where she is going now?' Caleb thought.

Caleb stood a good distance behind her when she entered the burger cafe, he saw her entire family there, he felt good and smiled, from seeing the way the boys hugged her and her in laws covered their mouths and laughed, he saw how they loved each other and the boys kept stroking her hair, but she just ignored their taunting.

Caleb walked away thinking, 'That leech don't have his hands on my wife, and she is happy, but what would her reaction be when we are home? I know she saw me holding Jezell's hand, is that why she allowed Mitch to hold her hand? I will tell her the truth, she knows Jezell and I are friends. I wonder if women can know if it's a man's first time. She was chaste, but it is embarrassing for me to say I was chaste like her. Well, I will have to face that bridge when I get there,' he thought while he locked up, then walked towards the car park.

Caleb felt a hand touch his shoulder, he wondered who it could be. Turning around he saw it was Jezell, "Why are you following me?" He saw her just stood there about to cling her hand between his elbow, "Look, just do me a favor and leave me alone, you cause enough trouble already."

"I haven't done anything yet, do you think you could just dump me?"
