Semua Bab Waking Up to Love: Bab 61 - Bab 70

The phone rang as Anna was heading out the door and she swore but went back to get it. The new account was high maintenance, to say the least and the client had no qualms about calling at all hours and he would not consider 9:00 at night late anyway. She picked up the phone and answered only to almost drop it a moment later. "Still working I see." A cultured voice said softly down the line. "That can't be good for your marriage, I'm surprised that you wouldn't know that. Or maybe not considering the family you come from." Anna counted to ten before answering, "Melissa, what an unpleasant surprise. What misfortune do I have to thank for this?""I haven't spoken to you in a month or more, you'd think you'd at least want to be civil.""Not really, I have to get home to my husband.""That's actually what I'm calling you about although I don't know if I want to give you the information after you were such a bi*&h.""Listen, Melissa, I don't have time for any more games, I'm tired and I mi

"I said you promised to marry me." Isabel spat out as she put her hands on her brown-robed hips. "You told me you were done with this farce of a marriage and you wanted me."John stated at her in horror, "I would never marry you, even if there was no Anna." "What's that supposed to mean?" Isabel shouted at him, her pretty face going red.John looked her in the eye, trying to make just one of her. "I said, I would never marry you.""How can you say that? After all, we promised each other just a few hours ago.""I don't remember a few hours ago, let alone promising you that I would leave my wife. I didn't even have that much to drink.""You looked like you'd had a few when I got here."John shook his head because something didn't seem right. He tried to think but his head was still fuzzy. Was it possible that he had slept with her? The thought brought horror rushing at him but then he reasoned that he would never do that because it would mean losing Anna. He had gone through too much to

John screamed as he saw Anna get in Bess's car and pull away. He wanted to gag but slumped instead on the wall. His head snapped against the wall as he pulled his arm back and slammed it into the wall. His fist hit the drywall and the satisfying crack as it splintered satisfied something inside him. His panicked mind swayed as he wondered what the hell he was going to do. "Hey, man are you okay?" Nate said as he put his hand on John's shoulder and eased his hand out of the wall. There was a bloody imprint of his fist against the drywall and his knuckles were bleeding. "Sh*t man, you need to see a doctor.""No, I have to kick someone's A**," John growled as he pulled his hand against his chest. "Give me your phone, This ends now." Nate handed John his phone and he dialed his mother. She answered on the first ring."Mother where are you?" "I'm actually here at your house with a very upset Isabel, John how could you do this?" "I'm sorry, how can I do this? Are you crazy?""John I don'

Bess's eyes widened and her mouth hung open in shock. "So this is like Seven and Janeway trying to fix the timeline in the "Relativity" episode of Star Trek Voyager?" "I think I got half of what you just said, but yes I was given a second chance.""After you were killed?" Bess asked with shock in her eyes."Yes, I could feel the pain as the attackers hit me and I knew something was really wrong the minute one of them hit me in the head, there was a crack and a burst of pain, then my body started to go cold. I knew when the blackness overcame me that I was dying. I remember praying for another chance and I guess I got it.""So five years, you get a do-over on them all?""Apparently, but much good it did me, It's worse now than before.""John didn't cheat before?" "I thought he did at our anniversary party and left him. I filed for divorce and lived alone in Los Angeles for five years. It was miserable. How are you so okay with this? If it wasn't my own story I wouldn't believe it.""C

Anna sat nervously at the gate, she'd told Bess she didn't want anyone to wait with her but now she was regretting that decision. She stood and walked over to the window watching the plains taking off and landing and felt more hopeless than ever. She had grown to love Asheville in the time she'd lived here. Even before the original timeline, she grew to love it. Now watching the skyline from the wall of windows at the airport it was as if the skyline of the city was waving goodbye. Her heart ached but she turned away. They called boarding and Anna grabbed her bag and went to wait in line. She kept her head down wanting to shut the world out. She kept to herself and didn't' talk to anyone because right now she didn't want to interact with anyone. Anna felt like she was stuck in her own world and she liked it. Heartbreak was a good companion when your world was falling apart. Anna was about to hand her ticket in when she heard her name being called."Anna!" "Anna wait!" the voice screa
