Yes Or No

Eric looked at her, slightly startled by the question since he hadn't expected it.

Why was she asking him that all of a sudden? Was it because she liked him, or was it because she was worried about how her life would be without him after he left?

Eric didn't know what to say to her. He wanted to ask her different questions but couldn't bring himself to do that. Her question was directed at Eric King, not Tunde Eric Obasan.

He knew he could protect her more as Tunde than as Eric since no one would dare speak to his wife rudely without facing the consequences of their actions. 

"Never mind," Kimberly said when she noticed the look on his face and assumed he was looking for a way to reject her nicely.

Of course, he wouldn't. What had she been thinking? She asked herself sadly. "I think it's time for our movie," She added before he could say anything.

"Kim?"

"Yeah?"
