Listening to Serena's explanation didn't sound that plausible, for someone who's so punctual, and Church being only 15 minutes away, he found it hard to believe her excuse. And even if it were true, certainly the two church friends would have bumped into each other leaving, at least to say Hi, and mingle for a few.  Doubt still burned in his brain as he watched his defensive wife, now change into the attacker, starting to accuse him of infidelities with the receptionist, Amanda.  His facial expression dumbfounded, as he raised his voice in defense.<strong>"What the hell do you mean by that?  Amanda?  You've got to be Joking!  She's ditzy and comes off as a Bimbo....But I wouldn't touch her!  And when I work Late, reception is closed, she's gone for the day! Just me and one or two colleagues trying to get our reports out and billable hours logged."</strong>He puffed out his chest took a big sigh and tried to calm down a bit, as he lowered his voice some. He stopped short of saying he isn't fucking Amanda because one of his co-workers was, but that would only add to Amanda's slutty reputation, and Christian was trying to deflect any incriminating evidence even if he was truly in the clear.<br/><br/><strong>"Look all I'm saying is the facts make it look as if you didn't go to Church.  Your hair is all out of sorts, clothes a bit wrinkled.  For someone who is keene on her outwardly, modest appearance, I can't imagine you stepping foot out the house, let alone Church, looking a bit unkempt. But It is what it is, forgive me for asking" </strong>he sighed, wanting to make peace, even though he wasn't convinced of her story.  He strolled over to Serena and reached out to hug his wife, who gave him the cold shoulder.  He suddenly felt a bit flustered and warm inside, the whiskey's after effects settling in.  He leaned in to kiss her forehead.<strong>"I'm sorry"</strong>he offered a half sincere apology, meanwhile his mind racing a mile a minute wondering of all the likely scenarios that were more in line of where she's actual been.  Amanda popped back into his head briefly, as he remembered Nicholas and then the woman Nicholas had talked about, a vivacious wholesome wife who he was fucking and having his way with.  He looked down at Serena, and laughed to himself.<em>Never in a million years.....she would never....</em>he thought to himself.
