CHAPTER 4

Rack and Ruin

Side Chick, this nine-letter word, is the greatest nightmare for women in committed relationships or marriages. When the side chick gets off the leash just know things are about to go wild. PERIS narrates the aftermath of the meeting between Ken and Jane.

I wanted to kill two birds with one stone. Peshy and Ken. I had to come up with a good idea before Ken could come pick Peshy. I was not happy about their meeting at that moment but I had to play along. Peshy was now torn between going with Ken or giving him some lame excuse. I beseeched her to accept the date and play cool as I went ahead to thinking fast how am going to scheme the ending.

Before Peshy could leave, we had some cocktails as we digested the bitter pill of reality. I asked her not to let Ken know that I already know about their affair. Counting on her was a long call, but I gambled on her not to infract. Since I was the first babe Ken wanted to meet, Peshy went to her place so that I could ask Ken to come to my crib. My mind was buzzing with ideas but the question of what lie was going to come up with predominated.   The fact that he’s still the one who paid the rent kept me calm. I was taken from the train of thoughts by the door bell, I placed the highball glass on the table and dawdled for the door.

Conversation continues

Finally, here was our Mbabaz with guts. Acting all lovey-dovey. We hugged, kissed and went into a long conversation. He likes his gin on the rocks so I served him just that. Amidist our conversation, my anger would sink me in almost betraying my plans which at a point he noticed. He severally questioned why the sudden change of moods why I brushed off with “it’s that time of the month”. Knowing he couldn’t get the cookie; he came up with some bull story about a trip he would be attending over the weekend only to resume on Tuesday. I giggled, knowing it was a white lie. “I hope this will be enough for the weekend” he echoed as he handed a bunch of a thousand notes. He then added another bunch, reminding me to restock the Gordons Gin as he picked his vibrating phone.

Confused and smiling, I bid him good bye. He later called Peshy and they had some good time together. Peshy and I were keeping in touch. Talk about girls on a mission.  So, this was the plan. I wanted Peshy to break up with Ken and let Ken’s wife know about them. Before, I had taken some two numbers which were frequently called which I strongly believed one was his wife’s if not both.  This guy loved his wife so much and would get defensive anytime she came to the picture. I wasn’t about to go down alone. I was about to unleash havoc in his stable.

Peshy gave me all the details about their whereabouts and on return I saved all receipts for a latter day. Trust me, the receipts were concrete, including Videos. Madam Ida, his wife, wasn’t also hard to find online and a quick confabbing on her DM assured me of her contacts and we agreed on meeting. On the other hand, I knew Peshy will also loose the guy so I never shared any plans of meeting with Ken’s wife. We agreed on a date as I finalized the scheme. I vowed this would be fatal before Ken jumped on the next prey and move on.
