Being Mrs Spence

After the call, Florence stood and saw Lizbeth sitting on the dining side.

She came to Florence.

“I wasn’t eavesdropping Mrs Spence, I just came out few minutes ago when I heard you talking. I also wanted to talk to you…

She cleared her voice and continued.

“…. I know this must be very hard for you ma. I know how much we spend every week and I know is all on you. I also know what Mr Spence did, how he kicked you out because of Marina. Treated you like trash and a whole lot of names calling and threats also played out while you were away. I never knew who you are but when I later realized that you are a good woman, my thoughts changed immediately. What baffles me most is you coming back to take care of Mr Spence. No woman in her right mind will want to do what you did… not after everything that happened. But here you are going extra mile to make sure he is alright. Whenever you are out to work, I’m responsible I taking care of him. It sometime a tedious process, he sometimes doesn’t even call for my help at all. I might not have thanked you enough because I’m not a family member but just a help but I deeply appreciate you Mrs Spence. You are one of a kind. I do have regrets sometimes… maybe I should not have mentioned what I learnt about Marina to Mr Spence. Maybe allowing him to find out by himself would have been better… maybe in that way, there will be less of physical and internal body damages. I almost fainted at the bloody sight, I thought they were both dead before the medics arrived. Is a relief that they are still breathing and trying to get better but if I have kept my mouth shut, maybe Marina would have traveled out or disappear without anyone knowing. Mr Spence probably will mourn all his losses in silence without heavy damages. I’m sorry… very sorry for indirectly causing all of this. I never foresee the aftermath of it, I could have find a better means…Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Florence smiled, she tapped her a little and said.

“I believe you did the right thing by informing him. Because if Mr Spence had found out after it was already too late, he probably will get a gun and shoot himself. Stop beating yourself Lizbeth, you telling him was a good idea. Although the physical harm and mess is too much to take care but I’m glad to have you, your great help is well appreciated…

Lizbeth smiled, Florence retuned the smile before leaving her to join Cole in the room.

She saw Cole sitting on the ground with his head bent and his walking cane beside him

She rushed to him.

“What happened…? She asked as she tried to help him get up to his feet and helped him to the bed

“I wanted to know who called you and who you usually seclude yourself to talk to most times. Well, I couldn’t even get to the door, the results is what you saw. Florence, I know you are helping me get on with life and I appreciate but I also know whoever you must be talking with is a man. Probably that your good for nothing ex boyfriend. That’s a disrespect to me as your husband, you are a married woman and speaking romantically to another man is cheating and disrespect to my person. Even though I can’t do anything due to my condition at the moment, I was still able to perform perfectly well in bed to your satisfaction. Florence, you need to stop speaking to him and focus on me like your one and only. I can’t stand sharing my wife with another man…

Florence boils angrily as Cole remind her of their love making few days ago.

She has lied to Maxwell that nothing of such was involved, getting an unsolicited reminder makes her stomach growls.

The doctor had confirmed Cole free to meet a woman. The doctor advice him to also exercise his waist. It could be through sex or other means.

He had been trying to touch her for several weeks even before the doctor confirmed him alright.

She refused and only fell for his touch last week because she wanted to fall not because he forced her.

She moved closer to him and said angrily.

“Don’t even think of pushing your lucks with me Cole. No, don’t try it. Because we slept together and had sex twice last week for the first time in almost two and half years does not give you right to claim me as yours. So, don’t push your lucks.

“It was actually three times not two. twice last week and one this week. On Tuesday to be precise. You still enjoys my touch, you moaned and kissed me passionately. You missed me and has been craving for my touch. Doesn’t the sex and all the intimacy we shared together means anything to you at all…

Florence gave a sarcastic laugh.

“It means absolutely nothing to me. Maybe a little pleasure at that moment… that’s all.

Cole frowned and said.

“You’re lying. I don’t believe you at all. It maybe hard for you to admit but you can’t possibly deceive me. No man have been able to touch you the way I do and no man will, not even your ex. Florence, I know all your weak spot… I study your body like book. So I know how you like it done…

Florence interrupted.

” You know all of this and yet you never got it right. You act like an animal during sex Cole, that’s the bitter truth but it must be told. Listen to me, I’m not promiscuous or flirty like you. I stayed without getting intimate with any man for over two years, not that there were no man, not that I don’t desire it sometimes but I’m not Coleman Spence, I’m Florence Richard Adam. I’m disciplined, God fearing and I respect my marriage vow which all means nothing to you. Go to bed Cole, let’s not banter word to avoid pissing me off.

Cole looked at her for sometime, he breathed deeply.

“You are not the woman I used to know, you have really changed Florence. You no longer talked to me with fear and respect. I guess is because of my health… I won’t be like this forever, hope you know?

Florence ignored him, she walked out of the room instead.

After an hour, she was calm and retuned. Cole wasn’t sleeping as she climbed in beside him.

She gave enough space between them.

“I’m sorry Florence, I easily gets angry this days due to my condition. I do love you and appreciate everything you have been doing. I’m sorry sweetie, please look at me… I need you. I need your warmth, I want to hold you and…

Florence interrupted him.

“Sleep Cole. You can sing all the love poem from now till day break and there will still be nothin for you. If you disturb me further, I will either leave you alone here and move to either another room or I sleep on the floor. I mean it…

Cole became quiet and later said

“Florence, remember the doctor said I need to be exercising my waist, so that I can heal up faster. Making Love to my wife is part of the exercise if you really want me to get back on my feet soon…”
