Chapter 21

He was sure his plan was about to backfire on him. In no time Anna would remember her phone and may wonder why she hadn't gotten any calls from even her parents. The call from Andrew had troubled him enough, though he was supposed to be with Andrew preventing him from acting stupid but he couldn't just leave his guest like that, he wanted to make sure they were already okay. But now it was as if he was going to work on his plans immediately, he needed to get even with Andrew. 

Anna didn't know how to act, she wasn't very comfortable changing even though she had a room to her self and her daughter was made comfortable, she still felt odd. It was a natural feeling. She was feeling weird for lots of reasons. She left her husband and ran away with her gynecologist who is supposed to be her husband's friend but is breaking rules just to help her find peace and live healthy. She could also not shake the feeling that there was something fishy about everything. Joseph was being too mature, sweet, wonderful and helpful to be true. He didn't even bother if he gets into trouble, he was taking a big risk on his life and career for her for no just cause, she started to feel guilty.

She thought of her phone and wondered why she hadn't gotten any calls. Not even a single message from either her family or her husband. Does it mean Andrew wanted her out of his life that badly that he didn't even care if she was gone or not, she looked up at the wall clock and could not believe how fast the day had run. The day was almost over, she was safe and free but yet she still felt strange, she missed her home, she wished things didn't happen that way, she wished she did things differently. But once again her solace was that it wasn't her fault, she wasn't to be blamed, she couldn't be blamed for leaving a man who didn't want her, she couldn't be blamed for fighting for her freedom, she couldn't be blamed for choosing her daughter first before any other thing. Looking back at the wall clock watching how the seconds continued to tick, she resolved never to bother about Andrew and live her life. Her worry was how her inlaws would see her, they were really nice to her and treated her well, she should have gone to them instead. Why didn't she think if them earlier? When she was thinking of where to go to, she should have thought if her mother inlaw, she was that one person that would have welcomed her and treated her well. She hit her head, angry with herself and feeling bad for taking her daughter so far away from home. Atleast if she was close, she would get a chance to see her husband and just maybe they would find a way to work things out.

"Are you okay?

She almost jumped out of her seat hearing the question. Even though it came calmly, she still felt like he was always watching her, like he was watching her every move.

"I am fine thank you"

He nodded and sipped his wine, she looked away not knowing what conversation to strike to ease the tension she was feeling.

"I never got a chance to thank you, you have done more than expected and I really thank you.

Joseph only nodded as he sat across her watching her, he gave her another glass and poured her some wine. She didn't even wait a minute or follow rules of sipping wine she drank it all and sighed out loud.

"Do you want more?

His question came out almost immediately she dropped the glass, she smiled wearily at him and handed him the wine glass again for him to pour more. She could feel the liquor, she could feel the alcohol taking its toll on her body and teasing her in very funny ways but she tried to act all cool and tried to converse with him but she could only notice that she was the only one talking.

"You see, my husband used to be a very wonderful man, he was a man that every girl would want to have, he was my ace, but he changed you see, all if a sudden"

She cried but Joseph didn't move from his seat, he only watch her vent, she probably needed it.

" I wish he never changed you see, I wished he never fucked another woman" She covered her mouth with her hands for using the F word as if her daughter was listening, she then smiled and that also made Joseph smiled, he stood up and went close to her and poured her another glass, she took it slowly but finished it in very few seconds. She started to feel really dizzy, she wanted to ease herself, she stood up but fell back on the couch, she pretended not to need help as she immediately stopped Joseph from trying to hold her, but then the moment she stood up and was able to stand on her feet for few seconds, she peed on herself.

She was so ashamed to look up at him, how could she pee on herself, she tried to pretend that she was unaware of what just happened but how could she even try to pretend when it was obvious and the floor became wet. Drinking was bad, especially drinking alcohol was really bad, no wonder it was said that one should always drink responsibly, that is if you must drink but what happened next was what she never expected. Joseph started laughing, she opened her eyes wide to look at him but her sight was blur to her, she knew she was doomed, but for Joseph to be enjoying her misery was just too much for her, she tried to keep her feet steady as she didn't want to sit back with her wet body. How did it happen that she couldn't hold herself till she got to the bathroom, she looked at her self again and could really not see much as her head began to ache but she could still hear and see that Joseph was laughing at her, she didn't like it but she could do nothing, he was enjoying himself so she just let him.  Joseph had successful switched off her phone and was not just laughing because she peed on herself but was also laughing because it seems his plan was going to take place that same night.

She carried her in a bridal style to the bathroom, he dropped her like a baby very calmly in the bathtub. Even in her drunken state, she could never forget what it feels like to be shy. She wanted him to go away, she wanted to take her bath again and maybe relax in the tub for a while but one look at Joseph told her that she shouldn't bother trying to make him leave, he seemed to be ready to stay there for a long while.

"Don't tell me you are shy to undress infront if me?

He said shamelessly, she blamed herself for getting drunk, she hated herself at the moment she looked at him to tell him she was shy and needed some privacy but no word came out of her mouth, she gestured to him but he didn't seem moved at all, then she tried to speak but was shocked as to what happened next, she threw up on him, his clothes that were already soiled by her urine was officially a mess with her vomit, she waved her hands to apologise and to tell him it was his fault if he had left her when he should maybe he would have saved himself from what he got but instead of leaving, Joseph on the water and started to undress in front of her.

He removed his glasses first and placed it on the edge of the tub, he got a clean wipe and cleaned it before placing it gently back on its case. He looked at her and smiled. She looked at him and thought he had the cutest eyes, she had never seen him without glasses before, she had never noticed the colors of his eyes, she saw how thick his brows were for the first time and how long his lash were. She wanted to ask him why he was always wearing glasses when he was really cute without them but she was scared of opening her mouth to speak again, the water was running and pouring on her which was making her feel a lot better but the view in front of her was making her blink a million times. Joseph had successful wiped the mess off his shirt as he was left with only his singlet on. He looked at her and she quickly looked away which earned him a smile, he knew he wasn't bad looking and he could tell the meaning of her look. She had never seen him without glasses and without a shirt so it was natural for her to feel different but he had seen her on her birthday suit before, he had even had to put his hands inside her private part during pelvic examination for her first child, he could tell how her body was and how they look, he could even tell her the mark she has in some private areas.

"Why not remove your clothes and take your bath, you will feel better instead of just sitting there you might catch a cold.

She swallowed someof the water and finally opened her mouth to speak.

"I need privacy, I cannot be naked infront if you? She asked surprised at how he would expect her to freely undress as if they were lovers.

"But I have seen everything before, I am your gynecologist remember?

He was right, she hadn't thought of it that way, how could she even think of it, it was a different issue and situation at the time. When he saw her naked she was bringing forth a baby to the world, it was different from now.

"It is not the same, when you saw me I was in labor now I just need a bath alone.

She was stubborn, Joseph hated that fact so much, he got her drunk for a reason, with the hope that she would atleast see him in a different light and things could happen naturally between them and he could get his revenge on Andrew, but she seemed to be recovering real fast from the effect of the alcohol. Though Joseph had no plan of giving up.

"Well if you insist, I need to wash off this urine and vomit I have all over me, and unlike you, I can undress anywhere because I do not have anything in mind"

She felt guilty for once but she didn't let it bother her, she looked away as he started to untie his belt, he looked up at him when his belt came off freely lying on the floor forming an S shape. she immediately looked away again but then his trouser came off followed by his singlet, the only coverage for his chest, she looked up at his bare chest and saw the hairs in the middle that streams down to his torso, she looked down at the white shirt he had on, the only thing remaining that might come off anytime soon, her heart started to race fast, this time she could not look away because even the white inner could not hide what her eyes was seeing, he was looking like he had been disturbed and was looking for a way to come out. Was he having an erection? She thought and tried to cover her face, Joseph looked down and saw his friend all standing out as if he was going to tear off the short, he didn't dwell much on it, he smiled deviously at her and grabbed his brush and started to brush his teeth. Anna could only open her mouth and closed at intervals, she was loosing her mind.
