CHAPTER 43

SUSAN

Susan gets back to the house with nylons filled up with groceries, her husband's flight is scheduled for the next day and he would be away for two years or more, so she needed to pack enough groceries and African spices that would last him a while before he settles for junks or adjust to their meal.

He was home, she calls his attention to let him

know that she is back. She drops a few groceries

for their consumption in the kitchen and takes the remaining bags upstairs to her husband "Here you go"

Henry exclaims at the sight of the extremely filled bags as Susan hands them over to him "you bought the whole store? Susan! I'm going there to study not to eat and get fat like you"

"Wow!" Susan rolls her eyes at his statement, she is adapting to his constant shades about her appearance which can be irritating whenever she is in a goofy mood "I'm sorry I cared too much about your wellbeing, hand it over" she snaps at Henry and snatches the bags from him angrily "Hey! I didn't mean to offend you, I'm just surprised that you bought so much when I can get all this over there when I land. I have so much to pack and these bags of groceries will fill in a whole traveling box, Susan, I don't have the luxury of space to share" Henry explains but she insists that he goes and sort out himself when he gets to Scotland "I am sorry, okay I will just take some, perhaps the spices will be helpful" he apologizes and picks some spices from the grocery bag but Susan snatched both the spices and the bags from him "You don't have enough space in your traveling box remember? Go and get the spices there" she walks out of the room with her groceries while Henry shakes his head as he gives up on the argument. He calls after her but Susan ignores "Susan are you going to leave me on a bad note? Remember I am traveling tomorrow! Is this really how you want this?" Henry is forced to dump the bags he is arranging, and he goes out to the living room to meet his wife who is swollen all over with attitude "Don't do that Susie, you are fat enough, swelling in anger will only make you obese" Susan is forced to laugh as she heard the statement, Henry draws her close to him "I'm sorry baby, I didn't mean it the way you took it, you know I will never take your care for granted" he cuddles her up and kiss her on the nose, cheeks, neck, and mouth. Susan couldn't stop giggling in excitement like a child, then she warns him "next time you call me fat, I will pounce on you and show you what my new stature can do" Henry grins at her as he inquires if she isn't truly fat "am I lying? Is this how you were back in Nigeria?" Susan argues possessively "I wasn't fat because I was working, I was going through the stress that would burn any calories that would make me turn obese overnight. What do you have me doing here? Sleep! Wake! Eat! Cook! Shop! Sit all day on the couch and watch television! Common! Who doesn't get fat doing that?" Henry tightens his grip on her and whispers in her ear "I like you fat, it's kinda sexy" he kissed her on the neck, and slowly he unbuttons her shirt. Susan rolls her eyes and tries to push him away, Henry always diverts the conversation if it's about her complaining about work, he doesn't take it seriously and it pisses her off. She slides his

hands off her and buttons her shirt "when you are ready to talk about giving me the right connection to a job, you can have this" she gestures to her body. Henry holds his head in both hands, he doesn't see the need for Susan to work when he is doing okay, why does she want to put herself through that stress? He is trying to do what is best for her by providing all she needs but she keeps nagging about getting a job and complaining always about not having anything to do. He knows if he says anything about him not wanting her to work, she will lose her temper and go haywire, all he has in this house is a night and he was not going to mess it up, he will say anything to bring a smile to her face. He goes towards her and gathers her in his arms "I spoke to a friend already, I didn't just want to inform you so you won't get your hopes up, he told me he would get back to me but you have to take a few courses here to earn a certificate that is acceptable here before he can pull some strings and I am still waiting for him to get back to me regarding the job offer available so we will know the perfect diploma course for you to study that will suit the position" Susan's heart melts immediately she heard this "why didn't you tell me all this, you always make plans without

carrying me along, and end up making me feel

guilty when I nag or get mad about something that the plan is already in motion meanwhile, I wasn't even aware or informed at all". Henry whispers in her ear "as I said, I didn't want to get your hopes up" he puts his hand underneath her shirt and makes his way to her breast, he feels the warmness of her skin and kissed her.

He unbuttons her shirt and lowered her onto the sofa kissing her passionately until it became aggressive, Susan winced in pain as she tastes blood on her lips "gently" she whispers and he apologizes, taking it slow but he couldn't get enough of the feel of her mouth. He moved the pillow below her head away aggressively and kissed her until she couldn't breathe, this time she didn't seem to mind, she allowed herself to be swept away. Henry drags the jeans off her and struggles with his belt, she arched off the sofa and assisted him with his belt till everything came off. Henry tore off her pants impatiently and buried himself inside her throbbing and shaking with his eyes shut, he pumped harder

and deeper making her cry out and clamp her

hands on his ass. The last time they had sex, he

promised to go gently the next time but he can't

seem to help himself to slow down when he is in

the mood, he likes it all turbulent, making his

woman scream for mercy. He loves to be possessive, the pulse in his dick was getting faster, Henry thrust fast and groans in satisfaction as Susan whimpers underneath him "you like it yeah?"

Susan ignores him while she held on to him tighter as he was going in too fast. Henry wasn't going to stop, not now that the vessel in his brain is swollen and is about to burst, he filled her with so much force and speed until he came inside her and then gains a steady tempo till he collapsed on her. Susan sighs in relief, she doesn't enjoy rough sex but it's Henry's favorite, and she is sure God won't be angry about it since it is a conjugal duty that needed to be done between every married couple.

Henry isn't her first but she has never been a sex

freak, the first time she had sex with her ex in

school, it was passionate and he made sure she

was satisfied but in Henry's case, he wouldn't ask if she is satisfied as far as he is. She is grateful she has had a better sex experience with someone else or else she would have hated sex if Henry was privileged to be her first. Susan rolls him off her and grabs her shirt to cover her nakedness, she picked up the pieces left from her torn panties and goes into the room to clean up. She locks the room as she enters, throws the pants in the trashcan, and sits on the toilet seat wincing in pain as pee comes out of her vaginal. Henry never gives her satisfaction, She can not wait for him to travel at least, she would get fewer bruises with his two years absence.
