Two weeks later everyone finally had some time off. Everyone was glad for the break. Jessie was finally going to Canada with Chris to meet his parents. She was very nervous. This was the first time anyone she dated took her to meet there parents. She hoped they liked her. She and Chris were at the airport waiting for there flight to board. Chris was getting them some snacks. She was reading a magazine when her cell phone started to ring.
"Hello?" She said.
"Hey."
"Hi John."
"Still haven't left yet huh?"
"No we don't board for about a half hour." "Are you home yet?"
"Yeah I've been here for about an hour."
"Have any run ins with Liz yet?"
"No she moved her stuff out while I was gone."
"That's good."
"I can't wait for it to be over." "We had a prenup so we're splitting everything fifty-fifty." "I've signed the papers and I was told she did to." "I'm just waiting on the official word from my lawyer."
"You doing ok?"
"Yeah it's weird being here by myself but I'll get used it."
"Yeah."
"So meeting the folks huh?"
"Yeah I'm nervous."
"I'm sure to don't need to be."
"I've never met the parents of any guy I've dated before."
"Never?"
"The guys I've dated weren't the take you home to mom type."
"You'll be fine." "Have a nice trip."
"I will." "Are you sure you're gonna be ok?"
"Don't worry about me I'll be fine."
"Ok see you at work in a couple days."
"Ok bye."
"Bye."
Jessie and Chris had a nice flight. They were driving to Chris's parents house. Jessie was looking out the window.
"You ok Jessie?" Chris asked.
"I'm fine honey." She said looking at him. "I'm just nervous and a little scared."
"Why?"
"I've never done this whole meet the family thing before." "What if they don't like me?"
"They're gonna love you just like me."
"What if I say the wrong thing?"
"You won't."
"I hope not."
"Everything's gonna be fine." They pulled into the driveway.
"Oh boy."
"It's ok."
They got out of the car and walked through the front door.
"Hi Chris." His dad said.
"Hey dad."
"Chris." His mom said walking into the room.
"Hi mom."
"I know who this is." "This is Jessie."
"Oh I'm sorry." "Jessie this is my mom Colleen and my dad Ted."
"It's nice to meet both of you." Jessie said.
"Welcome to our home." Colleen said hugging Jessie. "It's so nice to officially meet you."
"Thank you."
Back in Massachusetts John's house phone started to ring.
"Hello?" He said.
"John it's Jack."
"My favorite lawyer." "I hope you have good news for me."
"I'm afraid not."
"What's up?"
"Liz is claming you had an extra martial affair with one of your co-workers."
"What?"
"Did you?"
"No."
"Not even a kiss, nothing?"
"Nothing."
"Ok."
"Who did she say I was sleeping with?"
"A woman named Jessie Matthews."
"I don't believe this." "Liz doesn't like Jessie that's all this is."
"It might be more then that." "It says in the prenup that if Liz can prove infidelity she gets an extra five million."
"Well she has no proof so I'm not worried."
"There's a hearing on Tuesday." "Would you be willing to take a lie detector test?"
"Absolutely."
"Ok you and Jessie-
"What do we need Jessie for?"
"She needs to the test to."
"Why?"
"It'll look better that way."
"I'll talk to her."
Two days later Jessie and Chris went back to work. They just arrived at the hotel. Jessie's cell phone started to ring.
"Hello?" She said.
"Jessie it's John."
"Hey."
"Are you at the hotel yet?"
"Yeah I just got here."
"When you get a minute I need to talk to you."
"Is something wrong?"
"I'll explain when you get here."
"Ok give me five minutes."
"Alright." They hung up.
She put her bags in her room and went to John's. She knocked on the door. John answered.
"Hey." He said. "Come on in." She went in and sat down.
"What's up?"
"I got a call from my lawyer a couple days ago." "Liz told her lawyer that me and you are having an affair."
"What?" "That's crazy."
"I know I'm going to a hearing on Tuesday and taking a lie detector test to prove never did anything."
"She's such a bitch."
"My lawyer said it would look better if you took one to." "You don't have to though."
"No I will."
"You're sure?"
"Positive."
It was Tuesday they were in court. Jessie and John had already taken the lie detector test. They were waiting on the judge. She came out and sat down.
"Since I could find no proof of infidelity." The judge said. "This court grants the divorce on the grounds of the original prenup." "Court is adjourned."
After court they went to the hotel bar for a drink.
"Congratulations John you won."
"Thanks for coming with me."
"No problem." "I'm glad I could help."
"I'm glad it's over but being single again, yikes."
"You'll find someone eventually."
