"Linda…"
"I asked a question."
"Yes. You have every right. I won't let this happen again. Won't kiss her again. I swear. Not Esther not anyone else." Bill answered
"Wow… sounds really good. Not Esther not anyone else. You're sure? Because Linda can be as jealous as Bill when provoked. She has been bitten before and she won't be bitten again. You know… Sometimes she gets even worse than the mysterious Bill. So she should kill all the bitches you kiss while you keep her in your house?" She asked again. Playfully. But Bill knew she meant it. Each and every word she mentioned.
"Linda baby"
"Don't baby me now Bill, say it now."
"Linda, I just gave you my word. I won't be messing around with any one."
"Good" Linda mentioned. Satisfactorily. Bill shifted uncomfortably. Impressed by Linda's sudden confidence.
He was sure he was in love with her now. She was a tough woman. One who had seen her sorrows and had now buried them behind her. She was as sexy as fuck. He wished he could say it now. She grinned. He loved tough women. Like the show she was putting on now. She was his.
"Um." He bluffed. Smiling.
"What?" Linda asked facing away shyly. He was liking the way she was switching personalities and characters. All the same. She could get tough. Yet she remained holding her true femininity.
"You're as sexy as fuck." Bill mentioned, closing in to kiss her.
"Hold it." Linda said. Placing hand on his lips. Bill drew back.
"What's wrong nah…?"
"Ssshhhhh…" She commanded. Placing a finger on his lips
"Who is Richard Bradley? Where is he, and what does he want from you. No wait, I'm getting this wrong. Yah right… Who is Bradley to you?" She asked. Confidently, not ignoring Bill's current position. He was frozen in his sit. His had still on the steering wheel. Linda observed him, taking in his whole reaction.
"Oh, Darling you won't answer? I thought we were free now. Especially now that…" She was going on when little groans came from the Bill. He was swallowing hard. It was Linda's turn to smile now. How men wore facades. A few hours ago he was the strong mysterious Bill. He still was, the man everyone in the village feared. The mighty wealthy Bill Mayan, only now she had him at her control. He was hers, just like he'd claimed her a few minutes ago.
"Honey," She called again
"I didn't know you knew about him. Just" Bill stammered
"Just, what?" Linda asked impatiently.
"Will you tell your baby now darling, because we just took our vows? I'm yours and you're mine. As simple as that. Shouldn't a man be truthful to the woman he loves?" She asked simply. Her hand reaching for the car-door.
