that talked to the driver. All he had to do was ask a question and then 
he would get an answer. It must have cost a fortune. But, hey? Was she 
complaining? It didn't look like it. 

Keli couldn't sleep when she got in. She couldn't wait till the next
morning when it would be time for her to go and start her shift. He'd 
be there again. Where would he offer to take her next? The opera? 
Anything was possible and she knew it. 

Once getting off the bus, she started to approach the shop, but as she
did, a woman stepped in front of her. 

‘Is there a problem?' Keli asked her. 

‘Yeah, there is,' the woman replied with a look of Anger. ‘Stay away
from my husband.' 

‘Pardon?' 

‘You heard. If you want to keep those pretty features of yours, you'll
do as you are told.' 

‘I don't even know your husband.' 

‘That's funny. I thought he was your boss.' 

‘You mean Darren?' 

‘That's exactly who I mean.' 

Keli was confused. She didn't even know he was married. As far as she
was concerned, he was single. He didn't even have a wedding ring on his 
finger. She was going to confront him. 

‘Want a word with you,'  she said to him once she had got inside the
shop. 

‘What's wrong?' 

‘Your wife has threatened to rearrange my features, that is what's
wrong.' 

‘I haven't got a wife.' 

He then went on to explain that they'd been divorced for a couple of
years. He also said that she wouldn't leave him alone - followed every 
move he made. 

Keli left it at that and agreed to go on a date the following week.
There was a film that would be showing and he was keen to see it. 

But when the weekend came, she made her way to the Spar shop, a few
minutes away from where she lived. She couldn't believe who she saw 
standing inside of the shop - Darren's ex-wife. She was confused. Then 
she saw Darren walking towards her. So they were married after all; why 
else would they be together, looking very cosy on a Sunday morning? 

Keli then started to look around the street and saw Darren's car parked
on the other side of the road. She went over, took the keys to her flat 
out of her pocket, went up to the car and started to scratch the 
paintwork, then calmly walked over back to the Spar shop and went up to 
Darren and his wife. 

‘Thought you said you were divorced?' she said to him while noticing he
had put his wedding ring back on his finger.' 

‘Keli, I can explain.' 

‘Don't bother. Oh, by the way, I hope that neighbour of yours - the one
who is a mechanic, isn't busy. I think some paintwork on your car will 
need respraying. And don't bother to come up with the idea of sacking 
me because I quit,' 

Keli left him standing there, speechless. She may have been out of a job
but she had certainly got her revenge on him for lying to her, and that 
put a very big smile on her face!
