Chapter 20 Twenty

• After spending hours in bed, rolling endlessly and grinning like a roasted baboon while staring at her ceiling as her mind replayed the romantic texts her new lover had sent her, Sarah finally remembered that she had work to do in the household. So, she jumped out of bed to brush her teeth and bathe. Even while in the bathroom, she was dancing and singing as she bathed. She had never been this happy in a very long time. She wondered how she would feel if she got such messages everyday. Even when she was married to her ex-husband, she never experienced such amount of love and care. Not even when she was a teenager or in her early 20s did she receive love texts from the guys she dated. Who would have thought that, at her age, a teenager would be the one making her feel so happy and loved!
• After she was done in the bathroom, she got herself ready in her room and then went to the kitchen. Luckily, going to the kitchen did not require her to go past Rosa's or Jake's room. She was still too shy to face Jake physically at this time, and facing Rosa now would make her feel a lot of guilt. But wait... Rosa might have gone to work by now. This meant that only Jake would be at home. The thought of this was enough to make her blush.
• As she looked around the kitchen, she could see clear signs that the cleaner had come and left, perhaps not long ago. The entire place was very clean and tidy. Sarah never had any reason to complain about that lady's work, not even once.
