Chapter 3: Hibo

I ended up out in the dark looking around for them but didn’t know where to start. I must have been at least 30 minutes and was about to give up when I found Nia. I started by having a go at her, asking why she did what she did to my wife. She laughed at me and without saying anything took my arm and put her finger to her lips in a ‘shhh’ gesture. This enraged me and I was about to explode but her smile disarmed me too quickly. I felt like I was being played, I didn’t understand. I was confused as hell, with what was going on with her, my wife and now Hibo. And of course what was going on with me?

She appeared to direct us towards somewhere I’d already been. She quietly knelt down next to a tree in some long grass. Dumbly I joined her, not a clue what we were doing. She then put her hand on my shoulder and smiling at me did the ‘shhh’ gesture again, before pointing ahead somewhat. Looking forward into the gloom I didn’t know what I was supposed to be sensing. Some trees, the lake beyond, loads of grass, insect noise like you wouldn’t believe. I saw nothing.

I felt Nia stir, she rubbed her boob against my arm for a second and then she was getting up. I moved to join her but she put her hand on my shoulder and then pointed forward again. I looked again at the nothing, getting a bit fed up with this game, I turned to ask her what was going on but she was gone. She’d sloped away and left me here. I huffed and, grabbing the tree next to me, I started to get up.

Just before I moved I could hear giggling and quiet voices. I stopped and looked ahead again. This time my senses were tuned and I could make out someone slowly walking into my line of sight. No it wasn’t someone, it was two people. A man and a woman. I couldn’t make him out in the darkness but it was a white woman.

My breath was caught in my throat, what was she doing out here with him. Who was him? Who was she? They stopped by a large tree and he leaned her against it. They moved closer to each other, what was going on?

There was no moon out, so it was very dark and they were quite a ways from me. About the only thing I could see was the woman’s white skin through the thick grass. I quickly realised that I could make a lot of her thighs. Her skirt was bunched around her waist, her bare thigh, her leg wrapped around his invisible body. She was pushed up against a tree, trapped by his huge frame. But I couldn’t hear or see what they were doing. I contemplated moving forward but the grass was so thick, I don’t think I’d have gotten very far.
