5 ETHAN'S LUNCH

Ethan was relieved that his life was finally returning to normal. On one occasion, he forgot a document at home and had to leave office during his lunch break to retrieve it.

Incidentally, Cila was at home, working on her computer. When she heard the door open, she came out of her room and seeing that it was Ethan, stood by her door staring at him. When Ethan saw her, he politely nodded and went into his room to take what he needed.

Ethan couldn't help but remember the moments he had spent with Cila. He tried to brush it off but the memories of their love making sessions made him feel sexually excited.

Against his better judgement, he came out of his room, walked up to her as she still stood by her door and pulled her in for a hug. When he tried to kiss her, she pushed him away.

"What do you take me for?" she asked. Ethan looked at her in surprise. He had thought she wanted him when she came and stood by the door.

"Don't you want me?" He asked.

"You are acting like a jerk Ethan," she said with tears in her eyes. "You ignore me all the time and only come to me when you want sex. What about me? What about when I need you?"

Ethan bowed his head and said, "I am sorry you feel that way. I don't know what you want me to do. I can't deny that I feel attracted to you but I don't want to hurt Laura. I love her so much. She is my wife."

"And what am I?" asked Cila. "Am I a piece of furniture? I also have a right over you. Henceforth, Laura and I will take turns spending the night with you. I also need someone to make love to me and keep me warm at night. I am tired of putting up with Laura's selfishness."

"That is enough," Ethan said angrily, "not another word against Laura. You know what, this was a mistake, it will never happen again."

When he was done speaking, Ethan turned to leave. However, Cila ran after him and hugged him from behind. She realized she had fallen in love with Ethan and letting him leave now would be a mistake on her part. "I am sorry Ethan. Please don't leave, I will do whatever you say. Please Ethan, I need you."

Hearing her voice begging him to stay made Ethan feel guilty. He realized he wasn't really being fair to Cila but he didn't know what else to do. It wasn't his intention to marry her in the first place but she was already here.

He didn't want to form an ongoing relationship with her but he couldn't completely resist her. Cila subtly bit him on his back, interrupting his thoughts. "It's okay Ethan, you don't have to chose. We can be meeting by this time at home to enjoy ourselves."

Ethan agreed to Cila's demand as he felt it was much better that way. He turned to face her and they began kissing. He took her right there in the living room and their clothes were strewn all over the place.

When he found his release, he felt alive once more and realized that he had underestimated the effect Cila had on him. "You are amazing," he told her while panting. She smiled and replied "I know."

"Let's do this again same time tomorrow," he told her while smiling.

"It's a date then," Cila replied. They both wore their clothes and she bid him farewell while he left with the document he came for. As she watched him walk away, she said more to herself than to him. "I love you Ethan and I'm going to fight for us. But I need to plan carefully. Let me get pregnant first then I'll see if you won't chose the mother of your child."

Cila went straight to her calendar and checked. Her monthly flow was already one day late. She decided to take a pregnancy test four days later. For now she was going to enjoy her sexual escapades with Ethan and when the iron became hot, that would be her time to strike.

Like he had promised, Cila became Ethan's lunch, in the days that followed. He came in the afternoons and they had wild sex while trying out different positions. "How did you get to be so good at sex?" He asked her after one of their rigorous love making sessions.

"Well, I had a boyfriend during my University days, he was a real bad boy. I learnt most of what I know from him."

Ethan kept quiet for a while. Cila looked at him in surprise and asked, "are you jealous?"

He shook his head and asked "why would I be Jealous? Laura was a virgin when I married her. I got a pretty good deal you know."

"Except she is barren and can't give you children." The words had already left Cila's mouth before she realized she shouldn't have said it out loud. Ethan looked at her angrily and said, "it was Laura's idea for you to come into my life otherwise, I would never have spared you a glance. I need to get back to work."

As Ethan left the house, Cila cursed herself for not bridling her tongue. She knew that he hated hearing anything bad about Laura. She didn't want to ruin her plans. It was important for him to keep coming to see her during his lunch break hence, she sent him a message apologizing for talking out of turn and promised never to badmouth Laura again.

He replied that her apology was accepted and that he will meet with her during his lunch break in the next two days. Cila finally decided to take a pregnancy test. Her period was already Five days late so she strongly believed she was pregnant. The result came out positive, leaving Cila on cloud nine. As she held the strip in her hands, she said with confidence, "Laura, your days in this house are numbered."
