THE UNSEEN FLAME

Chapter Twelve

Weeks went by.Everything was normal,the usual stuff that happened in Tania's life.Nothing had really changed.However Xamie had grown so fond of asking Tania about Julian.She seemed so interested in knowing about what prevailed in Julian's life.Tania being so softhearted, always answered all Xamie's questions and she clarified all her suspicions.Xamie started visiting more often and she was always reluctant to leave.None of the three people would look beyond,they were not interested in knowing what was hidden behind the page they were reading.

As fate would have it,Xamie started developing feelings for Julian.She even felt jealous when Tania spoke about her best moments with Julian.She envied Tania a lot."How can someone have everything good in life?Tania,you don't deserve Julian and am very sure he'll realise it real soon," she always talked to herself whenever she wasn't with Tania.She looked up to Julian as a unique feature,he looked like the Greek gods,he had well defined masculine features and she felt that he was to die for. She didn't find trouble in stalking Julian,Tania had told her all about Julian's routine and she had it at her fingertips.

One day as Julian was doing his photography work at one of the kid's parties in the area,Xamie showed up."Hey Julian,is that really you!?," she asked as if she was surprised."Yeah, that's me, what brings you here?I thought you worked at a hospital!" Julian asked surprised."I so happened to be playing golf with my colleagues a few yards away.I heard the merry here,so I decided to come and see what was happening.Am so happy to see you," she said as she extended her hand to Julian.She was already red from the blush.Julian extended his,hesitantly.He had not had a close encounter with any woman ever since he got with Tania.Actually,he was afraid to do so,he believed he had the best woman and that was by far enough for him.

Xamie posed as she requested Julian to take a few photos of her.She opened the first two buttons of her golf shirt,she wanted Julian to see how "juicy" her chest looked.She extended closely towards Julian as he showed her the photos he had taken.Just being close to Julian felt like heaven to her.Xamie did a lot of stuff everyday to gain Julian's attention.Well,after trying for almost forever,Julian threw her a glance. He fell for Xamie and they always met behind Tania.Both Julian and Xamie acted perfect whenever they were with Tania.She couldn't smell anything.She still cared a lot about these two shameless people.

Julian spent nights at Xamie's disguising to have traveled for work.When the two were with Tania,they couldn't help but blush.Tania didn't make anything out of it.She thought that they'd just got close to each other,and that was okay for all she cared.Tania was pregnant and her belly had grown really big.Anyone would think she was carrying twins but it was one child.Julian was so supportive and he cared for Tania way too well, she was so proud that she had found a husband in him.She kept thinking what life would have been if she hadn't met Julian.She had reduced the number of trips she made to the community school,where she taught her students from.She stayed home most of the time and it is her students who would trek and meet at her home.The whole pregnancy thing was weighing her down,but she loved the fact that she was about to meet her bundle of joy.She felt so attached to her baby even before it was born.She was sure she was going to offer nothing to this baby but rather pure love.She vowed to never let her baby experience any of what she had experienced herself.
