Ignorance Is A Bliss

 Writer's Point of view….

After Jenny and Zain left the house, Owen came out of his room and headed towards Susan's bedroom. He did not knock as he saw no reason for that.

  Susan smiled the moment she saw him and stood up. She was just on a towel, it seems she has been expecting him.

  "I thought you would not come?"

She asked as he pulled her into a hug.

"Why should I not, I need to attend to my baby at all times. If only you have done as I told you, you will have me been any time you want me"

He said and kissed his lips then stared at her face.

    For a year plus now,he has been secretly having an affair with Susan under Zain's nose. Zain has no clue his wife is cheating not to talk of, with his younger brother.

    "I am taking my time, you know why I am still stuck with him."

"I know right, take your time but don't take too long. I hate to think of you under him"

    "Well, Zain does not find me attractive anymore. Maybe it has to do with my pregnancy and it's cool with me."

   Owen smiled to himself, indeed ignorance is a bliss. Why she thinks it's pregnancy that is keeping Zain away from her, he knows that it has to do with Jenny. Owen does care that his brother goes ahead to date Jenny, it will be in his favor so that when he finds out about them the issue will not accelerate.

   "It could be anything, just don't worry about it. You have got someone who would love you in every state. You know you are sexier in Pregnancy and if we eventually end up together, you will get pregnant every time to continue to be this sexier."

Susan blushed and looked down on his chest,

  "You have got to promise you will love only me"

   "Of Course, I will love you. Not only that, I will worship you. If I had known after that night we spent together, I mean the night before your  wedding, I would not have allowed you to marry my brother but all the same not changes, we will get married eventually."

   "I am sorry I did not follow my heart"

She apologized, Owen lifted her Chin up and brushed a kiss on her lips.

   "You are forgiven, gorgeous"

     He slowly lowered on her bed and as he was about to unbutton her shirt, a car drove into the building and the two disengaged immediately. Owen strengthened his own shirt and walked off the room leaving Susan lying on the bed confused, her brain was finding it hard to process what was going on. When she finally got herself, she coordinated herself.

   Zain came in a moment later and met his wife sitting on the bed staring at her phone in her hand. He found her on a towel and wondered within him if she was about to take a shower or if she had taken one.

    Something hit his nostril and he checked himself, it was not his perfume and his wife doesn't use such perfume. It belonged to his brother and he figured out his brother had been in the room.

  He walked to Susan and pecked her lips and perceived Owen's perfume on her. He doesn't want to think of anything,it could mean just anything.

   "You did not even say something when I came in. Are you still mad at me?"

Susan, who had kept mute to calm her racing heart, smiled at him.

   "Welcome, I am not mad at you anymore. What are you doing here?"

  "I forgot my card"

She raised her brows at him,

"You could have used your phone"

She said.

   "I know that right but an excuse to come see you is worth it. By the way, why don't you get dressed, let's go together. It could be fun and you will do a little exercise"

  Susan smiled and wanted to protest but on second thought, she accepted.

   "Okay, help me with a dress"

She said and Zain proceeded to get a dress for her. He got a black flaw dress for her and flat sandals. He helped her into the dress and got his card. Soon enough both were walking out of the room.

   They met Owen on their way out, he was heading to the living room. He accessed them both and lingered his gaze on Susan, Zain watched him quietly.

  "Are you both going out?"

He asked them and Susan smiled.

"Yeah, we need to get something and for me to stretch my legs a little."

"Okay then"

He simply replied and continued his Journey, Susan looked up at Zain and prayed he does not know something.

   "Shall we?"

She asked, breaking the silence.

"Yes of course, my dear" 

Zain replied and smiled at her and they continued walking.

Zain's point of view….

  When I got to the mall, I realized that I left my card at home which of course could not be a problem but something prompted me to return home which I can't say I know.

   Getting home, I realized that Owen's perfume lingered in the room. I know the kind of brother I have and when I pecked Susan, his fragrance was there. It could be he is trying to flirt with her or nothing, I can't say but how do you explain another man's perfume on your wife's body.

   I insisted that we go together and she did not object as always and that meant something to me. Coming out with her and we met him on our way out, his stares on Susan aroused my suspicion and I could definitely tell you that he is making passes at my wife. I don't want to jump into conclusion yet, I will just watch him from a distance.

  Owen is a tropical playboy and he does things without thinking. If he is trying to go down on my wife then he will have serious issues with me. Forget we are blood because blood doesn't just bite each other's fingers.
