Serena should have answered her husband’s question instantly, but there was a moment’s hesitation. No, she was still unhappy about what had happened at the party, but she also knew that she had over-reacted last night. They should have talked it through before going to bed but Serena’s temper had gotten the better of her. “No...I’m fine...I’m sure I just got things out of proportion…” replied Serena, “Just like Amanda’s tits!” she thought. In an attempt to put an end to episode Serena smiled and said: “If you can get home for around 1:00 pm I’ll go and pick up a pizza and bottle of wine for lunch…”. A pizza was the first meal they had when they started dating and, stupidly perhaps, it always seemed like a special meal for Serena.<br/><br/>Christian agreed and finished his breakfast and headed off to the office. It was still early, only 08:30 am. Thought’s of her meeting with Nicholas filled Serena’s head. He had been amusing and had turned what could have been a very long night into a pleasant evening. Serena remembered the invitation for coffee she had given. It had seemed like the polite thing to do at the time, but now she was having second thoughts. It didn’t seem right to be meeting someone who was a virtual stranger, especially when that someone was a very handsome man who Christian knew nothing about.<br/><br/>Serena thought that she wouldn’t show up at the coffee house. She would probably never see Nicholas again, and he would most likely not turn up any way she thought. At 10:00 am Serena called a taxi to take her to the city centre to pick up the pizza and wine. She could have just placed an order over the phone and had it delivered, but she wanted to get out of the house. The taxi arrived within fifteen minutes and soon Serena was in the back seat of the car heading to the city centre. As the journey passed thoughts of her husband and Amanda entered her head. The little grain of doubt was starting to fester into suspicion. “Maybe he did have to go in for a conference call...but would Amanda be there?” wondered Serena. She started imagining Christian and Amanda locked in a passionate embrace, her husband unable to resist the busty woman’s charms…<br/><br/>Try as she might Serena couldn’t shake her suspicions from her mind. It may have been spite or anger that triggered her next decision, but it was made in an instant. She leaned forward and asked the taxi driver to drop her outside the 'Ebenezers' coffeehouse. It was 11:15 when Serena walked into 'Ebenezers'. She scanned the room for Nicholas but couldn’t see him, so she took a seat at a table. A waitress came across and asked if she could take Serena’s order but Serena told her that she was waiting for someone and would order later. As she sat waiting, Serena became increasingly tense. She was worried about her husband, worrying about what she was doing meeting a strange man in secret and worrying if Nicholas would appear.<br/>
