This is a short Chapter but the next is gonna be...well you'll wait and see :) REVIEW!
Cal woke up at 8:00 with his head killing him. I probably shouldn't have drank that entire bottle of scotch, he thought. He rolled off his bed and fell on the ground. "Ouch…that was stupid." He slowly stood up and walked down the stairs to the kitchen. He opened the refrigerator and got himself a glass of orange juice. He noticed the note on the counter top. Hey dad went to school, you were still asleep so I didn't wake you. I'm spending the night at Christina's house. I'll see you tomorrow. I'll call. By the way, mom called, she said it was important and for you to call her. Love you!
Cal got dressed and got in his car to go to work. He kept thinking of what Zoe said. He kept replaying it in his mind. Why couldn't I see that she was cheating back then? How could she hide the fact that she was having an affair from me? Cal gripped the wheel harder. Today's gonna be hard. Gillian will be able to see that I'm hiding something from her. But it's better she doesn't know isn't it? I hate lying to her, but sometimes a little lie is better then a horrible truth. He parked his car and walked to the elevator. He noticed Zoe's car in the lot. shit.
Cal by his office. Zoe was already there seating on his couch. Cal quickly ran past his door and jogged into Gillian's office. He quickly closed her door.
"Good morning." She beamed a smile. He turned around to see Gillian at her desk. She looked gorgeous as always. She was wearing a tan, no sleeve, knee length dress that hugged her perfectly like it was made for her. Her was hair lightly curled, her make up was perfection. He tilted his head, studying her carefully. He could see the extra bit of concealer under her eyes. Last night was hard for her. She must not have gotten enough sleep or any at all. But my God, she looks absolutely stunning.He licked his lips subconsciously.
"Good morning, love." He smiled as his voice came out raspy and lust filled. Her eyes widened at his tone. He lightly coughed, trying to cover up for his expression slip. "So, how was the rest of your night?" he asked as he sat across from her.
Her mouth opened, then closed and opened again. She was trying to think of what to say. What do I tell him? 'Hey Cal, after I left your house I went home drank two bottles of wine, and cried half the night'? "It was.. " I'm not gonna lie to him."It was… it was hard, but I'll be fine." She smiled lightly, trying to show him she was gonna be OK, but could see the concern in his face. "Cal I'm fine… I'll be OK." She raised her shoulders.
Cal slightly nodded. He could still see the hurt in her eyes that had been there since last night. That's it, I'm not telling her about this... ever.
"I know you'll be fine but… can you blame me for worrying, darling?" He smiled. She smiled back, but it was immediately wiped from her face and replaced with concern, confusion and… contempt. Contempt? Cal thought and looked behind him.
"Zoe?" he said tightly.
"Cal we still need to talk"
