For What it's Worth

Chapter 3

Brett walked into the large office she shared with a co-worker, Heather and both their assistants. "Hey Heather, how's your morning?" She asked as she walked around her desk, setting her purse on the floor behind her chair, against the wall.

"Busy already. How was your day off?" Heather asked, pausing from what she was doing to look at her friend. Brett just rolled her eyes and shook her head as she turned on her computer. "That bad huh?"

"Well I mean Adam was home, so it was nice. I really needed to see him, but I'm sad he's gone…again." She said, writing down something on her desk calendar. She was counting down the days until her assistant was back from vacation; she was so busy without her. "Of course we got in a fight, though I'm sure you could have guessed that." She looked at Heather's desk across the room from her and smiled sadly.

"I'm sorry. You guys just need to spend more time together." She said before greeting her assistant who just walked in and Brett greeted her too.

"I know, it's just neither of us are willing to take time off work." She shrugged and wanted to end the conversation so she grabbed her wallet and stood up. "I'm going to go get some coffee, either of you want anything?" She asked Heather and her assistant, Summer. They both declined and Brett made her way out of her office and out of the building. She walked around the corner to the Starbucks and ordered her morning usual, a latte. She stopped to talk business with some people in the office on her way back in but soon she found herself back in her office. She sat down and got to work. She kept herself busy most of the day and her face brightened up when her phone rang and Adam's name glowed across the screen.

"Hey there." She greeted as she put the phone between her cheek and shoulder as she continued to type.

"Hey babe, I just landed." Adam said on the other end and Brett could tell from the background noise that he was still in the airport, probably waiting for his suitcase.

"How was your flight?" She asked.

"Boring and long." He said. Truth was, he spent the whole flight thinking of how he could be a better husband to Brett. "I miss you already." He said softly.

She smiled and stopped typing, taking the phone in one hand. "I miss you too."

"So I was thinking, maybe if you could get some time off work, you could come on the road with me for a while." He suggested, crossing his fingers.

She sighed. "Adam, I would love to, that'd be great, it really would," She started but Adam could sense a big 'but' coming on. "But, you know I'm trying to get that promotion, I just don't know if I can take time off." She said and glanced at Heather, who was openly watching her. Heather raised her eyebrows and gave her a look that told her to consider it. Brett would consider Heather a friend, but she didn't know if she wanted her to go spend time with Adam to improve their relationship, or so she would be one step closer to the promotion.

"Well, just think about it. I think it would be good for us." He said sadly on the other end.

She nodded. "I can do that."

"Alright, well, I'll let you get back to work. I'll call you tonight or tomorrow sometime."

"Sounds good. Be safe." She said, it was something she always told him.

"I love you." He said and punched Randy, who was next to him, when he mocked him.

"I love you too. Bye." She said before hanging up. She looked over at Heather and saw her disapproving look. "Go ahead, say what you want to say."

"It's just, Brett, you have to save your relationship before its too late. I know you love him but sometimes, it's just not enough, trust me, I know." She said sadly. Her marriage had ended recently because she was very determined at her job and took her husband for granted. That was pretty much what was happening to both Adam and Brett. "I just don't want that to happen to you. Just think about taking some time off."

She was silent. She knew Heather was just looking out for her and she appreciated it. "Okay, I'll think about it." Heather nodded, happy, but still not quite convinced her friend would take her advice. The day went by very slowly and Brett was focused on working. Occasionally she would start to think about Adam and the pros and cons of going on the road with him. She tried not to think about it and just get through the day. She picked up some food on the way home and when she got home, she turned on the TV and sat on the couch. She used her toes to take off her shoes and left them lying on the floor next to the coffee table. She swung her feet up to rest on the coffee table and started eating her dinner.

Thursday passed and work was ridiculous as usual. Brett was a little worried because she didn't hear from Adam at all that day. Friday, after work, after still hearing nothing, she called him up but there was no answer. She decided she'd go out to dinner then try to call him after. She went to a nice restaurant and felt a bit out of place being there by herself, but what could she do? She stopped at the grocery store on the way home and picked up a pint of cookie dough ice cream. Sometimes she felt like a lonely single girl but she knew what she was getting into when she married Adam, and she had assured him it would be no problem. It seems easy, but it really starts to take a toll on you after a while.

When she got home, she grabbed the mail and made her way inside. After going through the mail, she changed into her purple, green and blue pajama shorts and an Iron Maiden shirt of Adam's. She grabbed the pint of ice cream out of the freezer, a spoon and then went to sit in front of the TV. She turned on Smackdown and even though it was half way over, she was hoping she'd see Adam so she'd at least know he was okay. She watched it for only about ten minutes before she tried calling him again. Still no answer. She dug her spoon into the ice cream and took a big bite. She perked up a bit when Adam came on the screen towards the end of the show. When the show was done, she put the rest of her ice cream into the freezer and went upstairs. She could wait until tomorrow for Adam to call.

Saturday morning Brett went for a jog around the neighborhood, as she did every weekend morning. When she got home, she made herself a pot of coffee before pouring a cup and carrying it upstairs where she ran herself a bath. She soaked in the tub until the water became cold and her cup of coffee was long gone. She got out and wrapped herself in a towel. She dried and straightened her hair, applying some makeup. She removed her towel before putting on a matching set of white lace bra and panties. She pulled on some light wash skinny jeans and a white, scoop neck, long sleeve ribbed knit shirt. She grabbed her fashionable tan leather thong sandals and walked downstairs.

She tried to call Adam again but there was no answer. She slipped on her Steve Madden shoes before grabbing her keys and purse and making her way to the car. She ran around town most of the day, picking up dry cleaning and getting her nails done. She headed to the grocery store last cause it was her least favorite thing to do. She grabbed a basket and weaved her way in and out of the aisles. When she was done, she waited in a check out line and chatted with the person in front of her, who happened to be one of her neighbors. When it was finally her turn, she paid for her food and left. She got home and she noticed she still had half the day to kill. She looked at the house phone and saw no one called. She dialed Adam's number again and she wasn't even surprised when there was no answer. She then dialed Chris's number. He picked up after the second ring.

"Hello."

"Hey Chris, this is Brett." She said with a smile as she made her way outside to sit on her deck.

"Oh hey Brett, how's it going?" He asked.

"It's going alright, how are you?" She replied.

"I'm doing great, just on my way to a signing." He said. "So to what do I owe this pleasure?"

"Well I've been trying to get a hold of Adam for a few days now, but he's not answering his phone. I'm just worried because I haven't heard from him since Wednesday when his plane landed." She said looking down at her pool below. The backyard was the part of her home she loved most. If you walked out onto the deck, there was stairs that went down where their pool, barbecue and outdoor furniture was. It was where most of their parties took place.

"That doesn't sound like Adam. Well, I'll tell you what, I'm pretty sure he's going to be at the signing too, so if I see him, I'll tell him to call you." Chris suggested and she smiled. Chris was always such a nice guy.

"That sounds perfect. Thanks so much Chris." She said and hung up. She thought about calling Heather and asking her if she wanted to get together, but she knew Heather was a few towns over visiting family this weekend. She stared at the horizon a little longer, looking at the trees that were behind her backyard. She walked back into the house and grabbed her purse and keys. She had nothing else to do; she was going to go shopping.
