Lara's Faith (Episode 4)


“It's 5 a.m!” As she rolled around on her bed, Lara muttered. She had been awake the entire night. She took out her Bible and read a few Psalms before offering her thanksgiving prayers to her creator. She cleansed her face and exited her room slowly. She planned to make breakfast early so that she would be safe in her chamber by the time ‘the devil' awoke.
Soft moans escaped the door as she moved by the guest room. She came to a halt and continued to listen.

What happened to Tony? She crept into his room on tiptoe. There was no trace that anyone had stayed there the night before.

As she ran back to the guest room, she felt enraged. Sophia guffawed, which she overheard.

David's grunts could now be heard. Yikes! Inside their married home, he was making love to her?

When she slammed the door shut, the entire room fell silent. Tony opened the door after she banged a few more times.

When their gazes connected, she kept his gaze for a few moments before scanning him thoroughly. Except for a towel tied loosely around his waist, he was naked.

“Tony?” She let out a gasp. He didn't even bother to glance at her. He appeared to be making up his mind about something.

Her voice shook as she exclaimed, "Tony you!"

“Can you tell me what you want?” He swallowed his saliva and cleared his throat.

“Honey, I'll be here in a minute...” Sophia yelled from the other side of the room.

“What am I looking for?” Is this something you're meant to be doing, Tony?” Lara inquired, her voice hushed.

He yelled, "It's none of your business!"

She gulped hard and said, "True!"

He firmly admonished, "Don't ever come knocking on this door again!"

“All right...” she said as she turned to go.

“However, Tony?” Keep in mind that you will be judged by my God... If not now, tomorrow!” she said as she dashed back to her room.
