Temptation

    The moment I set my eyes on her I forgot about the vows I made at the altar 18months ago, she was a perfect example of a woman well endowed in form. Every part of her was perfect and it all appealed to me. I stared lustfully at her not minding how obvious it was. Besides everyone else would also be staring.
She walked past me and in a sweet voice greeted, the scent of her perfume filled my nostrils and I was charmed. I threw caution to the wind and proposed that I must have her.
   By the close of work that day I had gathered enough facts about her, she was a corp member recently posted to our branch, her name was Bridget.
   I made her my first priority the next day, I went to her cubicle and offered her assistance in getting up to speed about her duties, this she gladly welcomed as most of the other girls shunned her for reasons I don't know.
    Bridget and I became friends from that day, she felt comfortable around me, but I had my ulterior motives. I wasn't looking into babysitting an adult in a large and busy cooperation like ours.
    She invited me to her home for dinner and I obliged. I had lied to my wife about having an office assignment that will keep me out late.
    The dinner she prepared didn't taste as good as my wife's but I didn't care I wanted something more than food; after the meal she offered me some yoghurt as dessert which we both drank as we watched the t.v. Things started to heat up and she was making most of the gestures.
     It wasn't magical at all, my wife was better even though I married her a virgin.
   I left Bridget's house getting what I came for served in an attractive and appealing bottle but without taste.
    I couldn't look at my 3months old baby nor my wife. I felt tainted, without esteem and a betrayer. I daily avoided her passes at work
   I nursed the strong urge to tell my wife what I had done and when I eventually did, she forgave me but I knew things would no longer be the happy, joyful way it was before. She had always praised me as the perfect man, who looks no where else but at her. She had worked hard to satisfy and give me joy. But this man called Temptation had paid me "the visit" that visit he often pay men; old and young alike at divers stages in our life.
   He tries our commitment and faith in keeping the vows we have made and many like myself have failed the test countless times.
    I couldn't focus at work because karma wouldn't let me be, I could no longer be the perfect husband to my wife because I felt like a deceiver. The tempter visited me and my home and stole the joy in it.
