His Temptress

     Their orders came and they settled in to have their drinks.

   "Zain, I was surprised when you called to say that we will be meeting today. I was wondering when you got back from picking your sister in law. How is she doing?"

Nathan said breaking the silent that was almost enveloping us.

   "I don't know man, don't ask me. If you see her, you are ask her"

  I said meanly. I don't like the fact that he brought up Jenny here. He had always fancy Jenny and had asked me on several occasions to give him her contact. I could not even bring myself to do it.

   "If only you would give her digits to me. I don't know why you don't want to do it. Are you planning on making her your second wife or what?"

He asked.

   "Don't even go there, Harrison. I am married for heaven's sake"

"That's what you keep telling us when it's obvious you are still in love with your ex"

   I took a sip from my drink.

 "Zain, you have got to let your past go. She is not yours anymore. The earlier you get that the better for you"

   Ethan said.

I glared at him and still I kept quiet. I hope they are not expecting me to say something?

   "Zain, say something. You can't be silent for crying out loud"

Nathan indulged me.

   "What do you want me to say? You want me to admit that I can't let my past go or that I am falling out of love with my wife or that Jenny's presence in my house is bringing back old memories. I can't help it. She is just a fews hours in my house and I can't control how I feel about her. I thought she coming would lessen the feeling but it got stronger and I don't know how long I can keep up"

I bloated out, frustrated.

  "I feel you pain bro but you need to forget her. You made your choice marrying the sister and I know you hurt her badly. The best you can do for her is let her go and focus on your family now that you are expecting your first child."

Ethan said with his hand on my shoulders.

  "And again if you ask me, I will tell you to send Jenny back home. Your brother is living with your guys, her presence is not really needed"

   Ethan further said and pulled his hand off my shoulder then drained his last content on his glass.

   "My wife would not hear it. She is really lazy"

I gave them the reason why sending Jenny home would be impossible and within me, I would not do it because I would go insane.

    "I don't know what to say again. Just find your way around this. Don't make the mistake of starting something with Jenny. I trust her, She would not want anything to do with you"

Harrison added and the others chuckled.

"Enough about me, what's going on with you two?"

I directed my question at Ethan and Nathan. The duo exchanged glances then laughed. I wasn't really getting why they had to laugh at my question.

  "Nothing new, just trying to get this project donr before the end of the next week and Nathan working on his next multi-million script"

  "That's right, focus on the bag and why you do so, get babes that will help you reduce the bag because life without women is not worth living."

Harrison said laughing.

   "See who is speaking, our evergreen bachelor"

Ethan mocked Harrison and the silly smirk on his face disappeared.

  Nathan and I muffled a laugh.

    "I don't blame you both. If you don't visit my house as you like, you wouldn't say this rubbish"

Harrison said angrily and I had to let my laugh out.

  "Ease man, it's just a joke. You all are busy chasing the bag while I chase my own bag with a baby on the way"

   I said, reminding them all the level I am in.

It was Harrison's turn to laugh. The look on the twins' faces was priceless and recording it would be a memory to keep.

   "Whatever, who cares anyway"

Ethan said and shrugged off his shoulders.

   "We care and that's wht I am telling you all to get ladies in your life. Try being in a relationship and see that love is good."

I advised three of them because they were on the same boat. None of them ever wants to fall in love.

   "Mr relationship expert, we hear you. You should apply your relationship tips in your love life so you would not have mistake lust for love"

   Nathan mocked me.

"It has gotten to this right. I don't blame you, I blame myself for letting you in, in my life."

   I said and picked up my car keys,

"Don't forget to pay for my drinks. I need to meet Mr Thomas for the ads I would run for his company. I needed to see him in person"

I explained my sudden reason to leave. I don't have to wait for them to ask.

   "Okay then, I guess we will hang out tomorrow Evening"

Harrison yelled after me.

  "That's right boys, tomorrow evening then"

I responded and walked out of the bar.

   I got to my car and let myself in. I could have stayed longer but I don't want them to keep reminding me of Jenny. I know them very well, they will take every opportunity to mock me. That's what they are good at, especially the twins.

    Instead of feeling better, I got worse. Her smell got stuck in my head and the way her lips pulled up whenever she smiled kept playing in my mind. Her thoughts were just everywhere. I remembered how soft her lips were when I kissed it. It's been a long time since I tasted those lips and the urge to taste it again got stronger.

  "Jenny, you are my temptress"

I mumbled and rested my head on the starring.
