Chapter 14
"Good job everybody! Like I always say, we succeed and fail together, but we don't have the word fail in the JCC dictionary. I can't hide my happiness and for that, we are knocking off right away. We are not going to work tomorrow either but you'll be paid as usual. We will only resume work on Monday. You are therefore all invited to a Thank you party at my place tonight from 6 o'clock." her words were companied with a burst of cheers as they fell out.
"Great job Jason, you are such a great leader" she extended her compliments to Jason after her address.
"Appreciated Jilian" he acknowledged.
What astounded Jason was her seemingly I don't care attitude over what had transpired the previous night. In the course of the inspection, she had not shown any signs of concern despite observing that Jason was not in a usual mood. In fact, he could not handle his sense of guilty with ease. The group deliberations of the day had helped by-pass facing Jilian directly. She Had thanked him in the presence of the subordinate senior staff members and had to jump into her Toyota soon after that complimentary utterance. He could just on look as she viciously raved the vehicle which was uncustomary of her.
Her night with Jilian was not devoid of drama. He had to firefight a barrage of her flames, but as was her nature, she was quick to change from the contentious subjects to amicable ones. The friendliest subject they had switched to was the make-up sex. She came by herself having left their one-year son at her parents' place.
"I think I have understood that your phone has been giving you problems, but I am yet to understand why you are now drinking during the week" she had said after a tense two-hour conversation that was incensed with emotions.
He had assured her that he was not cheating on her with anyone else and was going to prove it. She had a knack for downplaying arguments, and that was no exception. She had not noticed that he had no ring on his finger due to a scatter of thoughts, let alone her emotional posture in reaction to his disregard of her telephone communications lately. It so happened that the first thing that he had to do upon getting home was to put a ring on the finger that he had successfully managed to conceal from exposure, which he did in the toilet.
"You have some explaining to do Mr." she had said as he tried by every means to dissuade her from her suspicions.
"I am ready to respond darling" he had responded with a highly pitched voice.
The three beers that he drank at the gala dinner did not impair his judgment at all. All it seemed to have done was to render him more vocal than he is known to be. She had seen it happening on those isolated occasions he took wines. His explanation that he had done so simply because it was a special occasion was easily admitted largely due to his dress code but there was more to answer.
"I have understood that you were at a party, but you're yet to tell me the woman you had dressed to impress" she had probed with a striking effect.
"Just with fellow senior members of staff including our boss" he had downplayed it so calmly.
She was not given to unhealthy debates. Furthermore, she had been told what she wanted to hear. His rapid response upon being told that she had arrived went well as far as calming her suspicions was concerned. The presence of Chris who was watching Gospel music in their shared sitting room neutralized her volatile mood as they had to exchange greetings, cook and eat before they retired to their bedrooms. When she resumed her probe, the veracity had already been compromised with traces of infidelity evidence covered under her nose with the ring issue standing as the highlight.
Whilst in the bedroom, the mood ultimately switched from that of a courtroom to that of the garden of Eden. She had missed her one and only men as her sexual appetite would prove. As far as he had been cheating, he was able to be equal to the task to allay all her insecurities and fear to rest.
"I really missed it darling" she had remarked after screaming wildly.
"I really missed your tight pussy too my queen" he had responded.
He had not shown much in terms of getting sexual services from someone else during their good sexual intercourse. Apart from his somewhat abnormal first round which almost gave it away, his ability to hit it second, third, and fourth time around went a long way in masking his matrimonial disloyalty.
"Why have you taken so long to ejaculate? Anyway, you have been drinking" she had asked after their first-round before answering herself in the process upon realizing that he had taken long to respond.
Their night ended up as romantic as no one could have ever imagined. The passionate spouse romanced as though they had met for the very first time with blistering sexual theatrics being employed by both the two.
"This was the best round Jason" she had uttered in appreciation of his dog-style ride.
"I have enjoyed it too my love" he had responded affirmatively as she wiped his penis smoothly with a yellow duster.
"I couldn't wait for you to come to Greylands next weekend, I really missed you like crazy" she had explained her reason for coming unannounced.
"I am glad that you are here amid the cancellation of the visit last weekend" he responded with a reminder of her sudden change of previous plans.
The fact that his phone mannerisms had made her cancel her previous visit did not mean stupidity or blindness on her part. There had been a lot going on in her head and his continuation to play hide and seek whilst getting it going on in Jilian's bedroom needed to be checked and regulated somehow. She might not have had full knowledge of who Jilian was, neither had they met or telephonically conversed before, but she had managed to somewhat clip the wings of whosoever could have been playing her sexual role by virtue of intrusion. The Headmistress at the school where she taught understandably granted her off days upon hearing her suspicion that something fishy could be going on in Redbury. The married woman whom she also confided in also sensitized her of losing her husband due to distance. Lately, she had observed that she was no longer as spirited as she used to be, hence the empathetic decision to give her an emergency break which was justifiably premised on solving a domestic issue. It remained to be seen if Jilian would continue behaving as if all was well before Jason.
