DEEP INSIDE #6

The sun had gone down into it’s mother’s womb and most of the people were coming from their work centres and companies. That evening was chilly and Rose was expecting to reach home and have a warm bath before sleep. She had planned for her husband that night and really wanted to show him how sexy she was. She smiled to herself. It had been long before she had made love with her husband. She loved him and it pained her at the thought of him rejecting her all the times. She had prepared for that night with all her heart and she hoped it was going to work. She reached home at exactly 6.30 pm. She was surprised to see the once gloomy Cheyenne looking happy and Katessia very low not even bothering to say the jokes she always told Jaden. Rose knew she didn’t have to mind Katessia’s problems. That day it was her day to look happy and presentable to entice her husband.
“Good evening girls and my son!”
“Good evening aunt. How was work?” Cheyenne asked.
“Everything was just fine. Thank you child. I was very worried about you when you ran away. I’m so sorry child. Forgive me.” Rose said tiredly. Cheyenne couldn’t believe what her aunt was saying. She had never imagined someone like her asking for forgiveness from a person like her.
“And you will be going to see Elsie on Sunday. That’s the day after tomorrow.” Rose said.
“Oh aunt.” Cheyenne beamed. “Thank you so much. Thank you.” She went and hugged Rose.
“Don’t be too excited child because you are going to see someone who is going to die.” Oh no! Cheyenne thought. She had started the mocking game again.
“It doesn’t matter.” Chey said smiling. “I really want to see her. Thanks to you aunt Rose.”
“It’s okay. No need to thank me. I can’t keep you here. You have to go and see your mother.”
“Sure aunt.” Chey said.
“Jaden. Why aren’t you happy my son. Come here darling.”
Rose hugged her son and this surprised both Cheyenne and Katessia. Katessia although gloomy, seeing all this faces looking happy she decided why not to join the joyful moment. They talked and chatted and Kat made sure to make Rose believe that nothing was troubling her mind. Later on after eating supper and watching television, Cheyenne went to her room where she started texting love messages with Palma. Katessia went to her room and sleep couldn’t claim her. She was thinking of what she was going to do with Jake. Jaden was already in dreamland and Rose was still waiting for her husband to come home. She tried to sleep on the sofa in the dining room but she finally gave up, went to her bedroom, and decided to wait for Jake there. That day Jake didn’t come home. Rose cried bitterly in her sheets and wondered why Jake had married her if he didn’t want to share love with her. She cried till morning when she was claimed by sleep, her face ashen, with red swollen eyes.

2 WEEKS LATER
Cheyenne was already head over heels in love with Palma. She was still devastated about Elsie’s death. At least she had gone to see her before she died. She missed her badly. At the other side, she was very happy to have Palma on her side, who supported her decisions. He was a good guy, who always understood her and she thanked God now that her dear mother Elsie was gone. It was already 9.00 pm and she felt heavy with sleep after chatting to Palma for a few minutes. Katessia was nowhere to be found and Jaden was already asleep in his room, upstairs. Rose had gone too and Cheyenne wondered where? Maybe to a club or a bar she thought. Her aunt had been so quiet lately and always looking sick. She was now harsh because Jake had spent the last four days at his hotel in Kyoto, leaving her alone. Cheyenne wondered why Jake never loved Rose but only used her to get a son. She knew her uncle was a ladies’ man and never wanted to tell her aunt about it. Katessia had been acting weirdly too. Chey knew Kat was keeping something from them. She was now going out always, leaving some of her chores for her to do. This was too much, she thought. Suddenly she had the door bell ringing and she opened it and her eyes collided with those of her uncle.
“Good evening uncle. Finally, you are back after a long time.”
“Business Chey, business... Oh God! I’m tired. Can you bring me a bottle of wine?” he sighed.
“Sure. Come in!”
Jake followed Cheyenne into the dining room. She had been playing hard to get the last two weeks ago. He looked at her short clinging night dress which was revealing her thighs. His stomach clenched with need as fire stormed in his loins. He wanted this young girl. It had been too long and he couldn’t hold himself. He forced himself to sit, waiting for the wine.
“Where is everyone?” Jake asked.
“Kat just left and aunt, I don’t know where she went. Jaden is sleeping.” Chey said her eyes filled with worry.
“Great...” Jake exclaimed. Cheyenne heard him and wondered what it was supposed to mean. She glanced at him.
“What did you just say?”
“Nothing. I’m just worried sick that my wife is out there at night alone.” Jake said.
“You better look for her...”
“Maybe I can call her. God!” he said sighing.
“I think her phone is locked because she is not answering her calls. I also tried.” Chey said.
“Shit!” Cheyenne’s phone started ringing. “Who is that?” Jake asked.
“It’s not aunt. It’s my friend.”
“Your friend?” Chey nodded. “A guy?” she nodded again. “Bastard! At your age, I don’t allow you to have a boyfriend.” He burst out angrily.
“I’m sorry uncle.” Chey said.
“Give me that phone.” She handed it to him shivering. “I’m going to block and delete this number. It won’t even help. I’m going to give you a new line tomorrow okay? You are not going to call this friend of yours again. Hear me?” Chey nodded. “Good.” He handed her back her phone and Cheyenne thanked God. “Tomorrow?”
“Yes. I’m sorry uncle.” Chey said, her eyes full of tears.
Jake glanced at her angrily and continued to sip his wine. I’m going to teach her a lesson, he said to himself.
