Possible Affair
Nick and Jackie were at a nice restaurant, enjoying a night to themselves while the kids were babysat by Jackie's parents.
"Hon I'll be right back." Nick said as he disappeared to the restroom.
"Hi Jackie." Came a voice a couple of minutes later.
Jackie turned around "Hi Todd." She said with a smile.
Todd was a 5th grade teacher at Kent Elementary where Jackie taught.
Meanwhile Catherine Willows had just walked into the restaurant. She was having dinner with one of her best friends who was in town for a visit. She stopped dead in her tracks when she saw Jackie and the other man with Nick nowhere in sight. She couldn't hear what they were saying but Jackie was all smiles.
Jackie was unaware Catherine was standing there.
"Oops." Jackie said as her coat fell off the back of the chair and hit the floor.
"I'll get it." Todd offered.
He picked it up and hung it back on the chair.
"Thanks." She said.
"Welcome" He answered.
"So are you excited for our staff meeting on Monday?" Jackie asked sarcastically.
"We have a staff meeting on Monday?" He asked as he took a seat across from her.
Even though Catherine still couldn't hear what they were saying her mouth dropped open when he sat down across from her. She watched for a couple more minutes but then went and sat down at a table far away so Jackie wouldn't see her, the only problem with that was she couldn't see Jackie either. Jackie certainly didn't strike her as the type to have an affair, she and Nick seemed to have such a solid and loving marriage but the evidence didn't lie, there she was in a fancy restaurant with a strange man sitting across from her and both were smiling at one another.
"Yeah, didn't you get the email June sent us?" (June is the principle) Jackie asked, still oblivious that Catherine had seen her.
"No, I'm not very good about checking that." He admitted.
"I'm not very good about doing it either but I'm getting better." She told him.
"So what's the staff meeting about?" He asked.
"Who knows, she didn't say in her email and nobody seems to know."
"That sounds like fun." He said sarcastically.
"Oh yeah." She answered.
"Well Jackie, I better be going, I'll see you Monday." He said as he got up and left.
Catherine didn't know what to do, she didn't want to have to tell Nick what she thought was going on, she knew he'd be crushed, and not only that but Jackie was one of her best friends as well, but on the other hand Nick had the right to know, people had cheated on Catherine and nobody had told her and when she finally found out she felt like a complete fool, so as hard as it was going to be she knew she had to tell him the truth.
