The last thing I did before leaving was put the oven on a low heat. This would warm the plates and have it ready to warm the dishes through when I ret...rned. The restaurant was a five-minute drive, so it wasn’t long before I set off.As soon as I put the key in the ignition, I turned off the music. It was one of those occasions that peace and quiet, added to the isolation in the car, was what I needed to work through some of the thoughts racing around my head.The afternoon had been fun, more than. The first three I didn't know but when the fourth turned around I saw it was John , a guy I kind of knew. He is friends with a buddy of mine and that's how I know him. He called out my name and I said hey and shook his hand, he told the other guys who I was , then he asked where my wife was? I said she's in the truck , and I didn't want her to get out till I knew you guys where cool. He said tell her to get out, I waved at her to come next to the fire. She jumped out and kept her coat held. I sighed and turned, feeling the wind now at my other side, my skirt obediently following the wind’s pull, the sheer blouse conforming to the other side of my body, my nipples rock solid, and my body almost vibrating with adrenaline. I paused again, and felt a pebble between my sandal and my foot, so I leaned against the streetlight and as I fixed it, I had the sudden realization. I was standing under a streetlight and it was dark! The power was out!With a renewed hope, I turned on my heel. It had been a few days earlier in her private office at the club when Pastor Erasmus had signed off on his acceptance of the final construction project. He added his signature to the document with his customary flourish and in a flush of gratitude she had hugged him and allowed him to take some sexual liberties with her as he was now in the habit of doing. She did not think about her behavior as being unfaithful to her wonderful husband, Maxwell, or to her young black lover Igoro, she merely.
