Sunday morning.
Rachel left early to buy medicines and supplies for their first aid kit at home. When she arrived at the pharmacy, she immediately gave the clerk the list of things she needed. She was the only customer at that time, because it was Sunday, and it was church time.
While waiting for her orders, a customer arrived. She did not look at the habits of the newcomer. But also a few minutes later, she still hadn’t heard it ordered. She was nervous because there were only women in the pharmacy, and the place was not very crowded on Sundays.
However, curiosity could really kill a cat. When she looked at the newcomer, her eyes widened. Because the man, who was lounging back against the nearby counter, arrogant and amused, watching her as if he knew exactly what was under her clothing was none other than her estranged husband, Brett Morgan. She was surprised, but only for a moment. In fact, she was even happier. Their meeting was a blessing in disguise as she needed the man’s cooperation for processing their annulment.
“Good morning, dear wife. Long time no see,” Brett was mesmerized at his wife’s exotic beauty. Last night, he decided that he should win her back, by hook or by crook. He promised to make her happy if given a second chance.
When else has Brett been joking? He was always prim and proper. He looked hot and sizzling in his casual wearing a white v-neck t-shirt, Levi’s jeans and converse sneakers. His massive chest was scratched by the t-shirt he was wearing. Its smile was arrogant at him. Oh, he knew that he was stimulating and it drove her mad that she couldn’t hide her admiration for him.
“What’s good in the morning, Brent?” She responded with a question. Then, she was worried because she didn’t know how to restrain her heart. It was throbbing with joy, and simultaneously, other parts of her body was also trembling. After all these year, she was still fascinated by the man’s presence. My goodness, she was no longer a schoolgirl! “Anyway, how are you doing?”
Brett didn’t expect the sudden change in the woman’s face. At first it was like a tiger ready to attack but suddenly it became gentle like a sheep. He returned the smirk and replied, “I am good, Rachel. What about you?”
Rachel raised one eyebrow slightly and tried to calm her troubled heart. It’s embarrassing to admit, but she was still excited to see him. Arghh, his charms were really incredible! Imagine, they haven’t seen each other for years but she still shuddered when she saw the man’s face again. “I’m doing great, thanks for asking.” Said Rachel.
“Touche!” He loved her spunk and he concluded that nothing has changed with Rachel except for her feminine charms. Being a mother suited her very well because she gained curves in the right places and it made him ache for her. Sort of, he spat at the woman’s charm.
Rachel noticed that Brett’s eyes dropped to her legs. She was no longer comfortable. Brett got on her nerves and then he stared at her … breasts? She suddenly crossed her arms over her chest and glared at the man. “Hey, what are you looking at?”
“You look great today,” Brett replied.
“I know, but why aren’t you looking at my face?”
“Huh? I looked at your face, eh. You’re the only one with a dirty imagination, “Brett accused Rachel and the woman didn’t like it.
“You’re still a bastard, Brett!” Her nose smoked in anger and she couldn’t help but hit the man. “Excuse me, Miss. Can I have the status of my orders?” She asked one of the pharmacy attendants.
“Just a minute,” said the attendant and called the colleague who handled the woman’s order.
“Bastard with abs?” Brett asked and he slightly lifted the t-shirt he was wearing to show the woman how fit his body was.
“Gross!” Rachel shook her head and looked away.
The pharmacy attendant arrived just in time, and after getting her purchased medicines, she quickly walked to the car parked not far from the pharmacy. Once inside, she turned it on and drove it down the road.
When she got home, her nostrils still flared with anger and annoyance. How dare him! After a few minutes of debating what to do to forget the encounter he and Brett had earlier at the pharmacy, she decided to visit his friend Jennifer Pepito.
“Why do you look like that?” Earlier, Francis noticed that Rachel was not in the mood after recovering from the pharmacy.
“Brett and I met,” Rachel replied.
“And then? What did he say?” Francis inquired.
Rachel has no choice but to tell the man the whole event when their paths meet Brett’s at the Pharmacy. “You, what would you do if you were in my position?” She referred to the scene when Brett showed off his hard muscles.
“Hmmm, maybe I’ll I hug him tightly.” Francis replied.
“Never!”
“I know right? But wait, how did you meet Brett at the pharmacy? Does he live nearby? Or maybe he’s watching us from the distance.”
“Are you trying to tell me that he’s stalking on us?” Rachel was horrified that the man was possibly just watching, and she seemed mad to run out the windows and make sure all ‘that’ was closed as well as their door.
“Yes. Why not right? If he sees us at the airport or anywhere else, do you think your husband will miss talking to you?” Francis suggested.
“Maybe we are destined to meet again to fix the annulment. Next time I see him again, I will give him a calling card so that he will not have any trouble coming to me,” Rachel said. She was tired of hiding. She also wasted several years to satisfy her desire to torture Brett and Bettina.
“Wow, that’s the spirit!” Francis applauded what Rachel said. “By the way, your son asked earlier when he would be able to talk to his father.” Francis reminded the friend about its commitment to the child.
“Shit,” Rachel cursed at what she heard.
