THE WOMAN IN BLACK
CHRIS

You need to leave Rosie!! My wife is comming. My eyes started to widen as I started pulling up my trousers and fixing my collar shirt at my hotel company I bought last year.

What about the money you promised me? Rosie asked while relaxing herself on the hotel bed.

As I immediately grabbed her bag to her, it dropped and everything in the bag was on the floor.
I was shaking like I was on fire. I started picking up the items I dropped while Rosie was still sitting on the bed and this time she was laying on the bed.
She must think this is a joke.

Rosie was one of my staff at my other company. it was a housing outlet company and she was my admin.

I started tapping her legs, comon here is your bag. leave now Rosie.

Why does everything have to be about your wife?

Listen I will give you the money tomorrow and besides I told you am comming here to spend it with my wife so why did you come?
You dont listen do you? I asked angrily

Well you still couldn't resist me Rosie said with a seductive look on her face.

Please Rosie for god sake. I begged her.

Ok I will see you tomorrow. She managed to get up and left.

I started fixing the bed and I decided to check in an empty room but it was all full and couple of used up rooms.

My room looked like I have literally used it. Rosie's makeup was all over the floor.
I immediately went to clean it and this room was my wife and I private room which I don't use for service. I had to spray up the room.

I immediately saw my wife comming through the reception area from downstairs through the window.


ROSIE

It's such a pain in the ass to be a side chick but I must say Chris was really handsome.
He had jet black hair, with pale skin and he was quiet hench thick tall.
I decided to spend the day at my boyfriend instead. Going home was no fun as its weekend and I though I was going to spend it with Chris instead I am getting kicked out like am a peice of SHIT.
As I walked at the reception entrance, I saw a tall woman in a blue printed dress asking for room 35 at the counter.
So that must be her I said to my self.
I headed out looking outside at the window and Chris back was at my view.



KESHA

I was meant to be at Chris an hour early from work. Had to stay and sort out some paperwork in my office.
Now I have time to my self.

As soon as i opened the door, Chris came to give me a hug. He smelled of sweat.

I moved to the window to close it as it was a bit cold and I saw a girl staring right back at me for 3 good seconds from the window.

Are you ok? Chris turned me around, blocking my view from the window and said come on sit down.

I immediately smelled the room. It was quiet sweaty.
I looked at his face and started adjusting his collar.

Oh I was in a harry rushing to here you know. Thought you was going to be here before me. He said immediately.

I was really silent and trying to contemplate. There was something strange about the room.
I started looking around.

Where you going he shouted?

I want to use the loo. I responded.
As soon as I got to the loo, the sink was all wet and sweaty. This was very hard to understand. The bath have been used.

I saw a wet and nasty card on the doorway as I was about to leave.
It was my husbands bussiness card.
Network housing group.
It said on the card he was the owner of the company.
What was going on? I though for a second. My husband never told me he had another company.
I placed the card in my bag.

Are you ok Wifey? Chris shouted
Yeah am fine, I said while rushing out the bathroom.

Let's go and grab something to eat, he said while heading for the main door.

I looked at him mysteriously.
We can eat later. I want to have sex.
I said with a wondrous eyes.

What? Now? My husband asked stupidly looking like he has been giving an algebra to solve.

Yes I said moving closer to him. Whatever it was, there was only one way to find out what went on in this room. I thought to myself.

Erm let's go to eat. You haven't eaten have you? He asked

It doesn't matter Chris.
I want to have sex now. I moved closer grabbing him.
He immediately moved his hands away from me and said I cant while walking out of the room.

CHRIS

There is no way I can strip to have sex with my wife. I was all sweaty and it just wasn't respectful to sleep with her on the same bed I slept with Rosie.
I love my wife .
I didnt even have the energy to have sex and felt guilty.
As I was waiting for her in the car at my hotel, Kesha came downstairs heading to my car after smoking.
There was a 5 seconds silence in the car.

Are you ready to go get something to eat? I asked her in a soft tone.

No, Just drive me home Kesha said without looking at me.


CHRIS

There is your money Rosie.
Rosie took the money while giving me a kiss which I barely moved my mouth.
I pulled her from my lips and said to her we cant continue this Rosie, with a frown on my face.
I want you to get back on your desk. you came to work I uttered her.

What do you mean? Am confused. Rosie added.

You just heard what I said. I responded sharply.

Do you know what you put me through yesterday? I asked

It's always about your wife isnt it? She responded. So everything we had was nothing, oh right I mean I am the left over ain't it. The side chick right.

Listen you nearly cost my marriage and for that being said we will keep it professional. I shot back.

Rosie gave me a sudden look and walked out of anger.

As much as I felt bad, it was time to just end this. I felt really horrible yesterday for what happened.
I do still care for Rosie but I think she might put me in a huge mess.

My wife called one day and she almost picked up. She just wasnt right in the head at times.


KESHA

I was already in my car heading to my husband unknown work place. The address and all other details was on the card. I cant believe after 7 years of marriage, this was the first time he have refused sex and also kept a secret from me. I am so ready to find out where he works. I always thought he works at his hotel but how stupid was I to think that.

The building was a two story building office. As soon as I walked in, there was a young girl at the reception.
She looked really familiar. I took of my glasses to take a good look at her.

How can I help you madam? She asked while I was still looking at her.


ROSIE

I was shocked to see Chris wife. I have never seen her here before. I had to pretend I didn't know her.
Sorry, how can I help you? I repeated

I came to see my husband Chris. She said in an unpleasant tone
I will call him for you, you can sit down.
What is your name? She asked
Rosie, I responded to her.

She started walking to the private office and I got up and blocked her.

Am sorry but you have to wait for him to come as I dont know you for security reasons.

She pushed me to the side and made her way in.

This woman got the balls to do that.
She lucky this is workplace. I would have fought the wrinkled bitch.
Lucky she got away with it.


CHRIS

I overheard some noises and there comes my door opened.
It was my wife.
What the fuck? I asked my self

My wife started clapping as she got in.
She started giving me a round of applause.
Well done keeping this as a secret.

How did you get here? I asked like I was lost

Shouldn't I be the one asking? My wide fired back

I understand but please let me explain.

No there is nothing to explain but do me a favour. I want the receptionist gone.
Kesha authorised.

What do you mean Kesha?

You know what I mean.

But that's my worker. She has been here for a very long time. I responded with a puzzled look.

I dont give a rat. Kesha said bluntly.

See this was the reason why I didn't tell you i work here. Your always trouble I shoted back at my wife.

Just don't make me come here the second time to see her here otherwise it will get nastier and am sure you wouldn't want that to happen in a million years.
I said sharply while making my way out.

Kesha! Kesha! She walked off.

This was really strange. Did Rosie introduced herself to her at the hotel that I work here or what?
I just dont understand.


CHRIS

Did you tell my wife that I work here? I asked her unhesitatingly.

I dont even know her to begin with. Rosie responded back.

So how did she found out? I asked confusingly.

Stop getting me involve with your wife.
Am tired of hearing that lunatic woman.

She isnt lunatic, I said defensively.

If she wasn't, she wouldn't come to attack me.
She pushed me and walked straight to your office.

I am really sorry Rosie.

Whatever. I will take my leave.


KESHA

I always talk less and get into it. I have no time to waste. I am not to be messed about. I sat in my balcony smoking and wondering through my thoughts. it was 19:30 oclock.
I heard my husbands key sound on the table.
He then headed to my direction.
Good evening.
Hello I replied.
Am going to head to the shower. I will soon be back. He went off.

I immediately took the keys on the table and hide it in my black jacket.
The keys were attached to a key holder.
I got my car, house keys, long black jacket, black face mask and trainers on and I stormed off.
I was the lady in black indeed.

There I was driving in the middle of the road making my way to my husbands work place.
I need to get information from there.

I opened the shop with one of the keys, turned on the light and closed the door inside since it was late night. I had my whole body covered incase there were hidden camera.
I put my phone on silent and Chris was ringing. There was no time to speak

Every office had a lock and luckily I had all the keys.
I went to the main office and I started looking for files. I took 45 minutes looking for employees files and details on the shelves.
I took a big folder and scrolled through employees name. I saw Rosie's details.
I didnt even bothered writing it down to waste time.
I took picures of her house address, telephone number and her next of kin relationship was her boyfriend.
Even better. I took a picture of her boyfriends number.
I got dressed in my normal attire inside my car and I packed my black outfit in a carrier bag and I headed home.



CHRIS

Kesha! Kesha! Where are you?
She isnt picking my calls either and her car isnt there either.
I wonder where she went.
I left her a voicenote and I was still up.
I called her friend but she wasnt there either.

After about almost 2 hours there was foot steps comming my way.

What happened? Where did you go? I asked concerningly.
I just went to have a fresh air. she responded.

but you could have picked my calls. I said

I know but I wanted to have have a quiet drive. Kesha said heading to bed as I followed her.


DAN

I was just about to call Rosie and then a private number appears on my phone ringing all of a sudden.

Hello, Whose this? I asked

There is no need to know who I am but please do listen to me very carefully because this is really serious. The lady said over the phone.

Tell your girlfriend Rosie to be very careful. dont say I didn't warn you or her.

Excuse me how do you know rosie?

With all due respect, I have no problem with you but with her.
All I will say is tell her to stay away from people's husband.
Make sure you tell her that for you and her own good.

how do you know.... the phone hanged up. Hello, hello. I repeated.
What the hell is going on I thought to myself.
I really need to see Rosie.


ROSIE
I don't know what you are talking about Dan. I said looking at my boyfriend.

Well you heard exactly what I said. i responded

i was really confused and wondering in my own head.
The married person I was only seeing is Chris and we aint even together since that breakup and I wasnt ready to talk about that to him but I wonder who called her since the person never mentioned their name.

Well if you say so. Dan said looking confused.

I think we have to go report to the police. Thats a threat. what do you think? I suggested.

I think that is a good idea. Dan added

I went over to report it to the police.
