Chapter 2A
Once she turned the shower off he asked her again if she was alright and if he could get her anything.
"I'm fine," she answered through the closed door. "Where's Sydney?"
"She's right here," he informed her.
It only took her a minute to dry herself off and throw on a terrycloth robe. She entered the bedroom to find Jack sitting on the bed reading a book to Sydney. This sight didn't help to improve her mood. She had spent the day with Sydney being fussy and uncooperative. A half-hour with Jack and there she was as happy as could be.
When she came out of the bathroom he told her that he made stew for dinner and that Sydney ate a whole bowl full.
"Well considering she's behaving so well for you why don't you give her a bath and put her to bed."
"Bed this early?" he said looking at the clock. "It's only 5:30. I thought that maybe we could go to the park and ride the carousal."
"Yea, the carousal," Sydney said, jumping up and down on the bed.
"Sydney, what did I tell you about jumping on beds? You're going to fall and hurt yourself," Irina said, as she walked over and placed her on the floor. Then addressing Jack she said, "I'm tired. I don't feel like going to the park."
At this point he noticed a bruise along her jaw line. "Is that a bruise on your face?"
She walked over to the mirror and trying to sound surprised, she said, "It looks like it."
"How did you get it?" he asked, with concern.
"I don't know," obviously she couldn't tell him that a fat pig choked her after f***ing her this afternoon.
He hated when he got suspicious about her. "How could she not know where she got that bruise," he wondered to himself. Then he asked her, "Where were you today? Sydney said something about talking with some man?"
"What are you doing? Using my child to spy for you?" she asked angrily.
"No, I just asked her what you did today and she said..."
Jack didn't have a chance to finish what he was going to say as Irina was once again yelling at Sydney. "What are you doing?" Sydney had opened up one of her facial creams and was spreading it all over face. Irina grabbed the jar out of her hands and started to scold her about playing with things that weren't hers.
Jack rushed over to rescue his daughter. "Come on precious; let's go clean you up. Then we'll play outside for a little while."
As he was leaving the room he told his wife, "I have the stew simmering on the stove, whenever you want it."
She didn't answer him.
After playing with Sydney for a while, Jack brought her back in the house. He saw that Laura was in the den grading term papers. He bathed Sydney and put her to bed. She was asleep by 7:30.
After putting Sydney to bed, he saw that Laura hadn't eaten dinner. He poured her a small bowl of stew and took it to her in the dean. "I brought you some dinner," he told her.
She didn't answer him.
He walked over and placed the bowl on the desk. He stood behind her and started to massage her shoulders. It felt good. After working on her shoulders he started to move his left hand down her chest. He cupped her right breast in his hand. He bent down and whispered into her ear that maybe they could get to bed early tonight.
She shrugged her shoulders pushing him away from her. "Not tonight. I told you I'm tired and I have these papers to grade. Maybe you could go visit with your girlfriend."
He stood up when she said this. "Geez Laura, is that what you're mad about? Because I changed her car tire?"
"Jack, just leave. I don't feel like arguing with you," she told him.
He turned her chair around and kneeling down in front of her he said, "Laura, I just don't understand you sometimes. Why do you get like this? You know I've always been faithful to you?" He looked at her waiting for confirmation that she knew this.
He asked her again. "You know that, don't you?" When she didn't answer him he said, "Fine, be that way." He then got up and left the dean.
She felt so alone, when he left the room. She wanted nothing more than to go to bed with him. Only his touch could make the filth of Yegor go away. But she couldn't do that to Jack. She respected him too much to sleep with him the same day that she allowed another man to rape her.
Once she turned the shower off he asked her again if she was alright and if he could get her anything.
"I'm fine," she answered through the closed door. "Where's Sydney?"
