"Wow, lovebirds! How are you?" Samuel's unexpectedly warm greeting welcomed William and Paula as they arrived at the gym. Samuel's rock-hard body was glistening with the heavy sweat.
"Oh, Sam! What a coincidence! Are you done, bro?" William replied warmly. He tried to forget Samuel's behavior a few weeks ago because the matter was well resolved, thanks to Paula.
Unfortunately, Paula didn't. He felt intimidated by Samuel's presence at this time. Not because she felt suffocated around Samuel, but because all her ideas and suggestions about her loveless relationship with William had failed. Miserably.
"Ooops!" Samuel's lips pursed when he accidentally saw the red hickey on Paula's neck and nape peeking out from the towel. "I see nothing!" Samuel corrected when he saw the same red marks under William's half-covered T-shirt.
Paula and William were stunned. William looked Paula in the eye and saw the unusual restlessness there.
"It's not like what you see," Paula defended.
