Drowning himself in cold shower, Thaddeus felt guilty even though he did not do anything unfaithful to Rachel. He scolded himself for being weak. Rachel and he had gone through a lot before getting married. He should be glad to have Rachel as a wife, but yet, he canÂ’t help but think about Liz.
Her touch was soft and alluring. There was something about Liz that keeps pulling him towards her. It was not just lust but something else that Thaddeus couldnÂ’t figure out. Stepping out of the cold shower, he got dressed into his Calvin Klein pajamas and went into the living room.
Playing a Jazz CD on the stereo, he poured himself a glass of red wine. Flipping through a magazine, his thoughts kept steering back to Liz. He decided to message Rachel. “Baby, I believe you’re sleeping now. It’s kind of weird without you at home. Call me when you’re free tomorrow.”
Beep. Beep. Thinking it was Rachel who’s still awake, Thaddeus happily check his message. “I’m sorry about just now. I didn’t mean to make things turn out this way. I don’t know why I’m feeling this way, but I think I’m in love with you. Liz” He tried to delete the message, but his fingers got numb. ‘Does she really mean it?’ He thought, ‘No, even if it’s real, there’s nothing to be done.” He pressed the ‘reply’ key and started messaging her. “Hey, there’s nothing to be sorry about. What has happen, had happened. Just remember that I’m married. We can be friends, but nothing more than that.”
Beep. Beep. “I know you’re married and I don’t care about it. I want you. I don’t mind being friends, but I want something more then that.”
To Thaddeus, this was something going out of hand. He doesnÂ’t know how to react to this situation and he felt lost. He hoped someone could tell him what to do. He drank a few more glasses of wine and went to bed.
It was twelve twenty nine in the afternoon when the phone woke him up. “Hey still in bed?” It was Joe. “Hey, yup, just got up. What’s up?” Thaddeus asked. “I’ll be organizing a small party at my house tomorrow night. So I’m inviting you now.” Joe happily shared. “What’s the occasion?” Thaddeus asked cautiously, hoping that Liz would not be there. But Liz and Joe was the unofficial couple. So chances of her being there is quite high. “Liz, will be flying off to Spain on Tuesday. So since it’s the weekend, might as well grab a chance to introduce her to our friends.” He explained. Not wanting to disappoint him, Thaddeus agreed.

“Please wrapped that up for me.” She said to the sales girl standing behind her. Wearing jeans and a white fitting shirt, Liz was shopping for the night’s party. She grinned at the thought that Thaddeus would be there alone. Joe had told her about Rachel being overseas at the moment. She had picked a pink satin sleeveless top to match her black knee length skirt. She will never miss a chance to be beautiful and wow the men around her.
“Hey sweetie, I’m at the pickup point. Take your time.” Joe called on Liz’s mobile. “I’m on my way there.” She replied. It’s not that Joe’s a bad guy. Joe had been nice to her ever since they met, but he had been an easy target. Liz found a challenge in Thaddeus. The more he rejects her, the more she wants him. That’s her character.
Back at JoeÂ’s house, which sheÂ’s quite familiar by now, she went into the master bedroom and laid her bags on the floor. Kicking off her heels to a corner, she slowly massages her feet, aware that Joe was standing at the door, looking at her. She then purposely took off her jeans and slowly showed more flesh to Joe, leading him on.
She then strutted into the bathroom, leaving the door wide open for Joe to enter. Joe, contemplating to enter the bathroom or not, heard the shower head being turn on. ‘Damn, she’s hot,’ he thought to himself. Aroused and turned on, he made his way into the bathroom.
