Bella puts a terrific show for cheating husband – part 1

“Nine….” He looked at his phone, “Shit! I was supposed to be at work, why’d you let me sleep?”

“Because you didn’t say you were working.” I shrugged, “In fact I thought you told me Thursday you weren’t.”

“Yeah, well things changed.” He said, “I…I have to get going, I’ll tell them you forgot to set the alarm.”

“Of course.” I rolled my eyes, “They’ll understand that, a forty two year old guy who needs wifey to set the clock.” He scowled and unable to help it, I threw in, “I’d say tell them your wife was all over you this morning and wouldn’t let you leave, but that would really be a lie.”

“Maybe if my wife wasn’t all over me about being all over her I would be.” He retorted as he turned away. “I’m going to shower and get going; don’t bother to make me anything I’ll….”

“No worries, I wasn’t going to,” I said smiling sweetly at him.

“Whatever Bella. I’ll probably…”

“Be late, I know.” I said quietly.

“Right.” He said simply and headed off to the bathroom.

The smile left my face. I was lashing out at him, because when he spoke he pissed me off, it was like he wasn’t himself anymore. But when I thought about it, I wasn’t angry, I was upset. I had no real hope he would go to counseling and wondered what I would do when he wouldn’t. I jumped at the sound of the lawnmower directly under the window and suddenly remembered the flowers I just planted.

“Shit!” I exclaimed, hopping out of the chair.

I’d forgotten to put up the foot high sections of white fence back around them. The last time I didn’t fence something off, Luke mowed over my tomato plants. I was only wearing my short black robe with just panties underneath and couldn’t go outside like this. I quickly ran into the bedroom and as I removed the robe felt a pang of sadness thinking that not all that long ago, just seeing me in this robe would get William going.

Now all William did was get going, out the door. Tossing the robe on the bed I slipped on a pair of denim shorts. I headed for the bureau but hearing the mower getting closer to where the flowers were beneath the bedroom window, skipped looking for a bra and grabbing the pink tank top I’d been wearing to bed lately pulled it down over my tits as I headed out of the room. I didn’t bother looking for shoes and going through the back door, breathed a sigh of relief when I saw Luke stopped several feet away.

The mower must have gotten jammed and he had it on his side while he knelt next to it removing something from underneath it. I paused to take in the back of his broad shoulders and muscular back and sighed. I had no doubt Luke did damn well with the girls and that magnificent body was being wasted on some pretty young thing who was naïve enough to think sex was always going to be that good.

“Flowers, Bella.” I reminded myself

Tearing my eyes from Luke I walked over to the bushes I’d planted the flowers in between and getting down on my knees reached behind them where I left the pieces of fence. I pulled them out along with the trowel and after digging a small trench started sticking the pieces back in. As always when I worked in the yard, my worries faded away. I lost track of everything but the feeling of the cool moist dirt beneath my fingers and the damp grass beneath my bare feet.
