Amber Novel – Suddenly feeling faint Amber leaned further back into the small corner of the closet holding her knees to her chest taking small silent breath s. It took everything for her not to explode from the closet c onfronting the couple . Her control snapped back when unlike their meetings Kevin and the woman were talking, t hey were having a chit-chat conversation. How their morning went, her having no trouble finding the hotel blah blah blah . The conversation continued as Amber followed the sounds of Kevin undressing, apparently with help and the sound from the bed as the two laid upon it. All talk stopped. Tears welling ran down Amber’s cheeks as she heard the well-known sound of a rubber wrapper being opened. Mollie ’s voice floated to her.
“Sweetheart , I want to feel you inside me forget the…” Kevin cut her off with a deep lustful laugh. “Can’t be too careful … ” Her eyes glaring at the bag just inches from her Amber covered her ears trying to keep the moaning out of her head . All thoughts suddenly went to the b ag. S he went through it finding the prize she wanted. The wallet was bulging with credit cards , cash and receipts but the driver’s license was right there in its reserved sleeve. Amber recited the last name and address in her mind several times before replacing it and moving the bag farther from her. She was brought back to her situation by a voice coming from just outside the closet. Amber made her self as small as possible in the corner of the closet just as Mollie opens the door reaching in for her bag. She grabbed the bag not seeing Amb er trembling in the darken corner.
Ba g in hand she closed the door. It took Amber several moments to get her pounding heart under control and she dared to peek through the doors slates. She held her breath as she sees Kevin fully dressed his back to the closet as his new companion in the bathroom is giving him a seductive show of dressing back into her street clothes . Finished with her dressing Mollie looks at Kevin in the mirror as she brushes her hair asking. “So things are really done with this Amber person?” Kevin replied with a touch of impatience in his voice. “I told you the situation when we …” Mollie stopped brushing her hair turning to face Kevin she cut him off with an edge in her tone.
“Amber is gone right?” Kevin stepping into the bathroom opens up the view for Amber to have a clear view o f both of them in the mirror. Kevin takes Mollie into his arms saying. “I can only have one fantasy girl…” Giving a little frown Mollie asks in a childish voice. “And who might that be?” Kevin hugging her tightly says. “You , my Mollie Dolly.” Amber’s stomach retched wanting to empty but opening her mouth taking deep breaths got her through keeping it at bay until Kevin and Mollie left the room. Crawling from the closet Amber s tayed on her hands and knees as the content s of her stomach bloomed from her mouth onto the carpeted floor. Standing she wiped her mouth, feeling her stomach was finished she spit the vile taste out of her mouth. Looking at t he mess she had created . “G oing to earn cleaning this time.” Another spit to the carpet she opens the door saying. “Wham bam thank you mam’. he lasted longe r than that with me Bimbo!”
As Amber slept J en was up early making coffee while upstairs Kevin was taking his shower. Coffee ready Jen poured a cup and was sitting at the kitchen nook sipping it when Kevin came down. He gave her a quick ‘good morning’ as he poured his coffee. Turning with cup in hand he leaned against the counter. “I have a consult this week with Goner Inc. They reorganized their structure, which would have been nice to have had a hand in. Anyway they reorganized and want me to do a hands on one day look over…So I’m out late Thursday and will be back early Saturday.” “Oh this consult could go into some good money, that’s all.” Jen felt even more now than then that there was something more , why would more money cause him to blush, but she hadn ’t pursue it . Now standing across from her in their kitchen he had that stupid little smile on his face basically telling her she wasn’t invited on this trip . Jen didn’t bite by ignoring the slight by saying.
“Perfect! Talk about timing they just opened a n ew store I so want to check it out. Perfect, perfect, perfect.” Beaming at her husband Jen didn’t mi ss his stupid smile had faded . His smile to her now was fake, being so obvious t his was not what he wanted. “Jen re ally it’s just a hit and run, if you really want to shop let’s save it up for a longer trip . I’m sure with the mess I’ll find I’ll be going up there again soon enough with a longer time frame . ” Jen caught she was being told and the bris t ling reply on her lips vanished as a gripping feeling came over her that she should stay home . A sweet smile on her face she looks to Kevin saying. “Ok, next time.” Taking a small sip from his travel mug Jen physically saw the tension go from his body. Pushing off from the counter Kevin blew her a peck as he headed out the door. Jen sat still as she listened to him leave.
Her mind wandered, ever sense their deci sion to start a family t heir lovemak ing had turned rather mundane with little romance in fact their whole relationship had turned into auto pilot. Kevin’s thoughts seemed to wander more, having to be brought back when she spoke to him. Even after getting his attention and looking at her his mind was still off somewhere else. Jen tried to convince her self his thoughts were about the family and all the new responsibilities to come and the fact they hadn’t achieved getting pregnant. But she failed. There was s omething and it had nothing to do with starting a family. Jen’s mind poked her as she sipped her coffee ‘ why doesn’t he want you on this trip ’ . Suddenly t he cup, coffee all fl ew through the air . Dumbfounded Jen looked at the mess questioning ‘how did that happen?’ On her hands and knees picking up the broken cup pieces she whispered. “ Why ? … ” She got her answer that Friday.
Amber wasn’t an owner of all the latest gadgets, not that she couldn’t afford the latest or top of the line, she just chose not to. The only tech item she truly did own was her smart phone . For a computer she went to one of three local public libraries. She would dress down to blend and not to attract attention or curiosity from others of what she might be searching or doing online. Choosing the closest one she sat at the complimentary computer quickly logging onto her Yahoo Mail account . Two new emails obvious spam titled ‘How to last longer in bed’ and ‘Meet your mate’ came up . Amber deleted both without opening . She opened another tab entering the name Mollie Kay Ferguson and the address from the license into the background check website. Miss Mollie ’s background check was boring, she showed as an ordinary single female with an ordinary job driving an ordinary vehicle. The one point of information that took Amber back was her birth date that had come up with her name. She was younger than Amber had thought, in the hotel room Amber would have swo rn she was in her early thirties but the date on the screen said she was early twenties.
More than ten years younger than her or Jen. Amber went livid her body was shaking so violently the person on the computer next to her gently touching her arm asked . “Are you all right?” Amber turned her redden face to the woman croaking. “I’m fine, just fine.” Not wanting any more attention Amber struggled to calm her self she wanted to do more before she timed out. Looking a t the screen her mind blinked ‘F acebook’ Mollie was the type. Opening another tab Amber logged into her account , i n search she finally found Mollie’ s profile as K Fergie. Leaning into the screen she clicke d the photo’s button. There were several pic’s of Ke vin none showing his full face but if you were close to him you would know it was him pecking Mollie or the picture of his wedding ring reflecting the camera flash of his hands cupping Mollie’s breasts. Hitting the Yahoo Mail tab she d ownloaded the two select ed pictures . Back to Mollie’s profile Amber scrolled her timeline quickly making mental notes of time frames.
One posting caught her eye Amber read it and whispered under her breath. “You little bimbo…I was right.” Getting a questioni ng glance from the woman next to her Amber whispered a soft ‘sorry’ as she logged off the site. Knowing she was going to be timed off the computer soon she went back to her Yahoo email account typing swiftly . A rranging the pictures within the email she clicked sen d. Each open tab she cleared history before closing she knew the computer would still be holding the history until the weekly auto cleanup of all the libraries computers. Shutting down her session Amber gave the woman next to her a sweet smile telling her to have a nice day . Amber laughed inside as the woman’s eyes not leaving the screen of hunky young men gave her a short ‘thanks’.
