Clandestine!

Now, that morning started normally.

I’d said my good-byes to my wife in the morning, and went off to do some business - I do some MLM on the side for extra income.
Now, I did not hit my left leg on a stone or see a black cat cross my path or an owl on a power cable – or any other silly superstitious stuff. I tell you, it was a regular day.

So there I was trying to get and fill an order form, a simple order form. I turned to a lady that happened to be standing next to me to ask for a pen.

It was just like that. No fireworks anywhere – I turn and say “May I use your pen, please?”

She obliged – and I was grateful.

Then she started to assist me because there were certain areas I was unaware of.

I was even more grateful.

So I asked how long she had been in the business and she told me how long and what she had accomplished.

Now, I was impressed.

It was somewhere at that point I noticed she was attractive, but I pushed past that and went on with the interesting conversation, though in retrospect, that stayed on the fringes of my mind.

She said she could tell me a lot more, and now, I wanted to hear, so we went together to chit chat and really had a good time. She, like me, read a lot and I found we had a lot in common. Gosh, her sense of humour was amazing, her grasp of books was impressive, her philosophy about life was inspiring and…

Well, in order to learn more, we agreed to meet again – and again – just to “talk business”…sincerely.

There was no problem, don’t you start thinking strange thoughts – so why did I feel reluctant about telling my wife?

(Ping! Light bulb moment)

So I said to myself one day, “Dude, you are ATTRACTED to this woman – and if she feels the same way, you can get into trouble”

So I dragged my feet for a while – and told my wife everything.

Not just that I met her. Or that she helped with a form. Or that she was interesting.

I told her I had been attracted to another woman and even wanted to see her again and again – and I knew it wasn’t healthy.

We talked. We laughed. We put our thoughts and things together – and after that, all was WELL!

I saw the lady afterwards and the feelings were gone…like magic.

I guess my dad was right when he said to me:

“Evil always grows in the dark”
