Monday came and Shane had driven me to the small Springfield airport. He could only leave me at security since he wasn’t allowed past them because of COVID. He kisses me goodbye before I am called. The TSA agent says next then I go through security seeing Shane wave goodbye. I wave back blowing a kiss at him and he catches it putting it right on his heart. While waiting to be called to the plane, the flight attendant said it would be about thirty minutes since the pilot hadn’t shown up yet. So, I just take a seat in one of the nice comfy chairs to wait. As I am sitting here looking through my phone I see a text from Shane. “Maddison, I would like to thank you for a wonderful time after the reunion. It was great seeing you after all this time. I would like to see you again. Hope to hear from you soon. Shane My word I can not believe that he wants to see me again. I’m just staring at my phone looking at the text I just received. Last call for flight 469 to Dayton, Ohio. Oh my goodne
After feeling a tap on my shoulders I turn around and see that my boss Chief Administrator Lee Jones or Lee as he wants me to call him standing there looking at everyone. Suddenly, the nurses scatter, about to continue their shifts. Hello Maddison, I take it that you had a nice time at your high school reunion, he states. Why, yes, I did, as I replied to him. That is good to hear, however, you can chit-chat about it on your break or during lunch. Now there is a patient in room 215 who needs to be tended to. Yes, Mr. Jones, I will get right to that now. As I am heading towards the patient's room. Mr. Jones calls me, and says to me, remember to call me Lee. Oh, another thing, I want to see you in my office during your thirty-minute break. Sir, my break is only fifteen minutes, I respond to him. Well, I am making an exception, and we’re going to need the whole thirty minutes. Okay, I will see you in a few hours, Lee for my break. Good, that gives us some time to chat about your reunion
When my shift is over, and I clock out, I grab the roses and then head to my car in the parking lot. The roses smelled so good too. I can’t believe that he would send me roses after our rendezvous during the class reunion. I wonder if anyone noticed that the popular jock and the pretty nerdy girl were missing. No, I highly doubt that, but I will read about how it went on our school website soon.Driving home I just couldn’t believe that Shane would send me flowers, and they are my favorite too. It was so thoughtful of him to do that. I guess he just wanted to show that he respects me. I guess they mean it when they say some people have changed since high school, they weren’t lying. Furthermore, I put the flowers in the passenger sand and then buckled them up. “Yes, people I buckled my flowers because they are beautiful, and didn’t want them to fall out of the seat.”“I know that it is crazy, but they are gorgeous, so I am not taking any chances.” "If you all don’t like it, will tough n
Who can be at the door this time of night? I asked myself. The doorbell just keeps ringing and ringing. My goodness, I am coming I say to the person on the other side of the door. I get to the door to open it. I swear Gabriel if this is you I already told you that we were through and I am not taking you back. To my surprise when I finally swung the door open it was not my ex-husband Gabriel, it was Emily his former secretary. What the h e double hockey sticks are you doing here? I know that I am the last person that you want to see. You got that right as I’m about to close the door. She puts her hand on the door, please could you let me in? I must speak to you to clear the air. You do know it is very late and now is not a good time for you to be here. I’m so sorry Maddison, but this is the only time I could get away from Gabriel so I could talk to you. He is hovering over me all the time. I just could not stand it anymore so I had to escape once he fell asleep. Okay, then come in I
As soon as I open the door wide enough, I can kind of see who it is, but the sun is shining bright in my eyes. Come on in whoever you are, I can’t see you right now because of the sun. The person steps inside my house and once I adjust my eyes I see who it is. Oh, my freaking goodness, Gabriel, it’s you. Now I suppose you are here for Emily. Yes, I am, he says to me. Before you do that we need to talk. Shane and Emily, we will be in the living room talking. I go out the kitchen, to close the sliding door so they can’t hear what I’m about to say to Gabriel. Gabriel, Emily has told me that you have been hovering over her as if she is going to go into labor any minute now. You do know she is not due for another few weeks, and you are stressing her out is not helpful for either her or the baby, “But we thought that we had almost lost the baby, Gabriel says.” “Well, you did not, have the contractions were stopped, I told him.” “ Now she cannot have any more stress.” “Emily needs to relax
Shane, you have to tell me where you’re taking me, or what are we doing? Nope, not unless you ask nicely. Can you please tell me what you’re doing? Well, my pretty love, we are going on our actual first date. Oh, my seriously, is that why you asked for me to have the day off? Yes, that is precisely why. What do I need to wear, or is what I am wearing fine? He says to me, you will most certainly need to change from your work clothes. I need to most certainly take you on a first date and a few more after that before I leave. Wait, what, you’re leaving? Where are you going, I ask Shane. I have some business that I have to take care of overseas in Japan. So, this will be our only date before you leave? No, Maddison, I don’t have to leave for another two weeks. Oh, what a relief, I was worried that you might have to leave right after our first date. Of course not, I planned this out accordingly to spend as much time together while I’m here working on a project. What kind of project are
Before the plane takes off all I have to say is that at least I looked at her and slept with her before you even had a chance. Now if you excuse me big brother, I have a plane to fly. Wouldn’t want you to miss your first date in Paris, France. Alright, you two, that is enough. I have been standing here watching you two bickering at each other for the last ten minutes. I am ready to go on my date with the person I’ve always had a crush on. Shane, please give your little brother a break, it is not as if he knew that I had a very big crush on you in high school. Of course, he wouldn’t notice you Maddison, he was too busy being with the popular kids. Desmond, Maddison and I have already discussed this, and I have apologized for being a jerk towards her. She has forgiven me for that now will you go please go and fly the plane. As long as she has forgiven you, I am fine with that. Just do not hurt her, I saw what her ex-husband did to her when she came crying in my bar that night. That is
Brandon, our limo driver, is standing with the door open for us. We both say thank you to Brandon as he closes the door and gets into the driver’s seat. Now, can you please tell me about our date I ask Shane? Alright, I will tell you or at least give you a hint. It is one of the most famous places here in France. People like to go up there all the time. You can see all of France from there. Let me think here for a minute, it is the most famous place, and we can see all of France. Is it the Eiffel Tower, would you look at that, come here so I can give you a kiss for getting it right? I cannot believe that our very first date will be at the Eiffel Tower here in Paris. Believe it darling because there will be many more dates like this. I hope so, and I am eagerly awaiting it. There was a bit of traffic heading towards the Eiffel Tower for our first date. However, I didn’t mind because I was with the person that I have always wanted to be with. Nothing could have been better than that.
Happy Ending Part III will be too busy healing from having babies, and we will both be too tired to have any from taking care of them. I have never considered that. Of course, you did not. You were too busy thinking about getting some after I had our babies. Men always think with their tiny brains and not the big ones. Maddison, are you alright? Yes, I am fine. Why does it seem as if you are having another contraction? Of course, I have another one, but talking to you is distracting me to get me through the pain. That is when I press the button to call the nurse. The nurse comes in and asks us what she can do for us. Shane tells her that I had another contraction. This time, it was extreme. Let me get the doctor then. She walks back out and comes back in with the doctor. The doctor rechecks me, then tells me, all right, you are fully dilated, Mrs. Evans.Okay, Maddison, are you ready to push? I am ready to push, I answer him. Okay, now, on the next contraction, bear down and push. On
Thank you again for forgiving me, Maddison. You do not know how much this means to me. I promise that I will never bother you or Shane again. Wait, aren’t you even going to introduce me to this person? If this person finally, had you come to your senses, I want to meet her before you go. I do not know if that is a clever idea because you two might know each other. Oh, please, I cannot know someone that you know. Are you sure that you want to meet this person? Of course I do. Now, come on, I want to see who she is. All right, but do not say that I did not warn you.Maddison, Shane, and Desmond go out to meet this person with whom Gabriel has a relationship. However, the minute Maddison sees the person, she is amazed by who it is. Oh, my goodness, Betty Sue, is that you? Um, hi, Maddison. I heard you married the most eligible bachelor in Missouri and had moved to Ohio, so I had to come to see for myself after running into your ex-husband here. It turns out that Gabriel and I knew each o
Sam, what did you say just now? I asked him if Shane had forgiven him. Why are you asking me this silly question? It recalls a situation where someone repeatedly asked for forgiveness before I was ready. If you do not mind me asking, why do you not want to forgive him? I would instead not get into the details right now. The struggle with forgiveness is a heavy burden I carry.You know, Samantha, there is something so familiar about you, but I cannot put my finger on it. I know we have asked you this before, but are you sure you do not have a brother or cousin to whom you are related? I do not think Samantha answers while twiddling her finger in her lap. Oh boy, they are starting to ask questions, and I do not know how long I can keep this up. Being close to Maddison without her knowing it is me, James, makes me feel at ease.If she knew it was me under this disguise, she would bite my head off. Not to mention that Shane would probably kill me. Would he really, however? He does have fo
Well, I will tell you if you promise not to tell Shane. Okay, I say I promise with my fingers crossed behind my back. So, tell me, what did you do for Shane? We were at the casino the night before your class reunion, and he was on edge. He was saying that I should have given her a chance. Now I know that he was talking about you. He was so on edge that I had to put something in his drink to calm him down. Then I called a call girl, or should I say escort? That is what they prefer to be called now.So that is what you did, huh, Desmond? You wanted to give me something to make me feel better. Now, it is all because of you that people think that I am a gambler and a drunk. What can I say, dear brother? I wanted you to suffer. Why did you want me to drug me? I wanted people to see the downfall of Shane Evans, the most eligible bachelor in Missouri. However, I was not counting on you meeting Maddison here and marrying her so quickly. I cannot believe this is the man that I slept with while
We have to get my brother over here somehow. The problem is how we do that. Maybe if I tell him that you are not treating me right, he might come running to my rescue as he did the night I was drowning my sorrows. That plan might work because he does have a thing for babes in distress. What about Gabriel, in any case? What do we do about him? That will be easy. All I would have to do is tell him I want to be with him again. He will most certainly take the bait there.Wow, I cannot believe your ex-husband would be that gullible. Oh, when it comes to me, he will be. I know that he has been aching for a second chance with me. Of course, I will just be pretending. My heart belongs to you now and forever. All right, now, let us put this plan to work. I go ahead and call Desmond and Gabriel since I know they both have a weakness for me.First, it was Desmond. Hello, he answered. Desmond, could you come to the house right now? Shane and I had a big argument, and he left. I do not know when h
Maddison, I told you about what happened. Did I not tell you when we met at the class reunion? No, you did not, she replied. Oops, I am so sorry that I did not mention it. How could you not say it after we slept together that night? I am sorry I was captivated by your beauty. The moment I saw you again, I knew we were meant to be with each other. Oh. Yes, that is right, I say. We should look at the USB DRIVE again to see if it is you or someone else pretending to be you. Who knows, it is worth looking at again. However, I cannot believe Gabriel is trying to make me doubt you. I knew what he was trying to do from the beginning. I mean, he was up to something. He just wanted to put doubt in my head about you. As if I did not know who you were. He tried to put it there so you can forgive him for his indiscretions. That will be hard if he keeps doing stupid things like this. I am sure it would have been easier if I had forgiven him. However, I must focus on making sure that our babies m
Gabriel Shows Shane ProofWhile driving away, I could not believe what Shane said was true about Maddison. She certainly did get him since it was over fifteen minutes. I only left because I was not happy with the glare she was giving me. That is something that I never want to see again. Who knew pregnant women could be so apprehensive? I will assume that she was not fond of the fact that I kept her husband away too long. Anyway, I am going to find proof that their husband of hers, Shane, was gambling in the casinos before even seeing Maddison again.I need to call my source to see what they can find. I dial the number and let it ring until the person I need to speak to answers. Once they answered the phone, the first question they asked me was how it went. They asked if you were able to get the information that you needed. Unfortunately, no, he did not believe a word I said. He claims that he stopped gambling in casinos the moment he saw my ex-wife Maddison again at their high school
When I went over to Maddison and Shane’s house, I had no idea a party was happening until I heard the music in the background. However, I did ring the doorbell first before I decided to enter since the door was unlocked. Who leaves their door unlocked anyway in this neighborhood? Don’t they know criminals are looking for a way into someone’s home? I hope they do not let just anybody walk up in here. Walking through their house, I see many decorations, including pink and blue balloons, food, and a cake. I asked myself what was with all this stuff; then, it dawned on me that this must be a gender reveal party. That would explain all the decorations around the house. I hear much noise, so I head towards the backyard. I saw some people that Maddison and I knew there in college. I also see my best friend and his wife, Sandy. Why was I not invited to this? Asking myself. Looking at the two of them makes me envious. It should have been all four of us together. It did not turn out that way b
Do you mean to tell me the night before you came to the reunion that you had some call girl in your hotel room? How did she look? Did she look better than me? Maddison, come on now. I did not know you would be at the reunion. Well, it is good that I did not see you with this woman the day before, or else I would have thought you were just another guy interested in that kind of stuff. I get it: a man has needs, and it was not as if we had any idea that we would run into each other. I know it was a stupid idea, but it was just sex to me.Well, hopefully, you were careful with this call girl. Did you have her sign an NDA? Have her sign what, you know, a nondisclosure agreement. It means she cannot discuss or say anything she did with you. Of course, I did. After all, I am a successful billionaire, and she knows the consequences of discussing what happened between us. I hope you are right, honey because women will do anything for the right price. It should not be a problem if she knows wh
