The day flew by now it was just Gerry and Sandra in the office.

'You ready for this?' he asked her.

'Yeah, are you?' she replied

'Yes, I love you Sandra.'

'Good. So you remember the plan?'

'Yes, go home finish with Maggie and then come to yours with my bags.'

'Yeah and I finish with Ben.' She looked down at her watch. 'Actually I better get going he'll be at mine in 15 minutes.' As she got up from his lap he pulled her back for a kiss. She could tell he was worried and if she was honest so was she; she'd never done anything like this before. Never had she committed to someone like this, he was even going to be living with her for a while.

'It's going to be fine you know.' She told him, he nodded.

'See you soon.' He added before she walked out the door and he decided to do the same.

Sandra had barely got in the front door at hers when Ben arrived and he was early as well. Something Sandra usually valued, not this night though, she'd wanted time to prepare. As soon as he walked into the house he kissed her, she just stood there not knowing what to do, not kissing back but not pulling away either.

'Ben, come sit down.' She told him as she pulled back.

Back at Gerry's he'd just walked through the front door to find his dinner on the table. How was he going to do this? He didn't want to hurt this woman who'd done nothing to hurt him but he loved Sandra.

'Good day at work love?' Maggie asked as she stepped out the kitchen and placed two glasses of wine down on the already laid table. 'Dinner's out.'

'Maggie can we just sit and chat first?'

'But dinner will get cold!' she argued

'Please?' he pulled puppy eyes, she could never argue with them so she followed him to the sofa.

'So how was your day?'

'No Maggie, we really need to chat.' She sat silently watching him. 'I don't think we're working anymore. I'm really sorry but it's over.'

She stood up and turned and looked at him in disbelief. 'NO.' She screamed. 'There's someone else isn't there Gerry.' He looked down at the ground not knowing what to say. 'I'd heard things about you before we got together, I thought you'd changed. The tears fell from her eyes. 'Who is she Gerry?' She screamed, after getting no reply she screamed again. 'GET OUT. PACK A BAG AND LEAVE.'

So he got his bag and left and exactly how he'd planned he arrived at Sandra's.

Sandra answered the door as soon as she'd heard the doorbell go.

'Gerry.' She told him in almost a warning, he didn't understand. Next thing he knew Ben was at Sandra's side with his arms wrapped around her waist.

'Who's this love?' Ben asked Sandra.

'He's my colleague.' Gerry stood there in absolute horror and anger, she'd lied to him.

Hope this is okay. Sorry for the delays in writing now I'm back at school and starting GSCE work updates are going to become a little more irregular. Reviews welcome.
