I didn't feel comfortable about conversing with someone I know likes my wife, he is my business partner, and liking my wife makes it difficult for me to talk to him outside business, but I don't want to make Tracy mad about anything.
"Hello."
"Hey," I replied standing beside him, we were both looking towards the car and it took a few seconds before he spoke again.
"So, you are her husband?"
"Yes, I am," I said folding my arms in a way that my ring finger is showing.
"Did you know? Whenever I see Tracy in school I keep seeing the same thing, I always saw my future wife." He said and I clenched my fist.
"She was always quiet, had very few friends, she was very humble, and I'd always say the same thing, that's my future wife, she is mine." He said pointing towards the car, I wanted to say something to hurt him but I decided against it
"She is married now you see? To you."
"Yes, she is."
"I can be her second husband you know?" He said and I dropped my hands immediately facing him.
"Just joking." He said smiling
"You best be joking," I said facing the car again.
"Of course, I know she is your wife, she is married, the only reason I'll get a chance to marry her is if she is single, I hope you take care of her, you have to take care of her."
"You don't have to tell me, I'm her husband and I'll do everything I can to protect her."
"I like that, make sure you watch her, she just had a large bowl of ice cream, she finished it alone, her stomach might ache."
"My wife is always with me almost twenty-four hours a day, I'll be watching her thank you, now if you'll excuse me, my wife and kids are waiting for me."
"Wait, the kids are here with you?" He asked looking kind of shocked, maybe he was shocked and was trying to cover it up.
"Yeah, they are, probably playing in the car."
"Oh, bye then." He said walking towards his car, I joined Tracy and the kids in the car.
Tracy looked pale, she was looking like she was going to jump out of the car at any time.
"What's wrong?" I asked
"The kids said they saw Nora."
"Nora?, Where?, No way, I was outside facing the car and not even one person passed, Micheal? Micheal?."
"Yes daddy" They replied
"Where did you see aunty Nora?" I asked and they pointed towards where I and Sam were standing.
"Maybe you are confused, aunty Nora is not around," I said and they nodded
"You know it was aunty Nora right?" Michelle asked Micheal in a whisper and he nodded.
"They are probably confused, or did you see anyone?" I asked Tracy and she shook her head.
"That's why you should not be worried, okay?"
"Okay."
"Let's go home and have pizza for dinner," I said and the kids jubilated while Tracy smiled.
We ordered pizza when we got home, it took about twenty minutes for the pizza to arrive because the kids insisted on getting pizza from their favorite pizza place.
"Are we getting orange juice mummy?" Micheal asked
