Aftermath

Nadia left the hotel and came to a local diner. She left Simon twenty minutes ago. He offered to drop her home, but she didn’t want Greg to see them together. After the sex she had acted so differently around Simon. Softer. ****. She had showered with him and they had made out passionately. He held her softly and massaged the soap into her body. She had kissed him back. Why? Why had she betrayed everything she stood for…

She didn’t want Greg to see how she responded to Simon. Besides, it was all over now. She would never ever see that man again.

She ordered a latte and something to eat. The sex had been an energy draining experience. They had fucked for four hours. She came countless times - pleasure overriding her brain. Overriding everything she knew - Greg…

Greg entered the diner. A sheepish look on his face.

“Hey baby,” he said.

“Greg…” she said. An emptiness, “I mean… baby… Can we go home?”

“Yes of course…” he said, helping her up.

They sat in the car in silence. Greg wanted to know what happened after the connection dropped.

“The connection dropped… I actually didn’t see all of it…” he said.

The connection had dropped… Simon had told her that after they had finished. The hotel WiFi needed him to login again… He didn’t anticipate that. It was a new hotel he was trying.

“You’ve done this before,” Nadia asked Simon.

He nodded. Simon was a bull for hire after all. He was paid to fuck other peoples wives. Nadia was about to transfer the money over, when Simon refused.

“You were great. I had fun. No charge,” he said.

Nadia and Greg were on the freeway. She was glad that Greg didn’t see all four hours of that episode. She was ready to leave it behind. To be with her husband. Have a baby. Happily ever after… But bodies never forget…
