Marriage Most Scandelous

Chapter 7

By: Ace

George was…frustrated, to say. In the last 20 minutes, his car probably moved 10 feet. The radio was on and it kept him up to date about the accident that happened a while ago. He sighed as he looked towards his right. Might as well. He thought. He opened and his phone and dialed a familiar number.

"McDonald-Venturi residence." A cute little voice answered the phone.

"Hey Marti, it's Daddy. Give the phone to Nora honey."

"Okay daddy." Few seconds later. "NORA!!!!!!!"

"Hello?" A new voice.

"Hey honey, I'm stuck in traffic. There's grocery store near by, do you want me to get something?" George asked.

"No, I – No. We have everything." Nora replied.

"Nora? What's wrong? Why do you sound like you're crying?" George asked, concerned.

"Because I was."

"Why?" George was getting worried.

"Oh, Georgie. It's…It's Casey."

"What happened? I just left Casey like 10 minutes ago. What happened??"

"Nothing nothing. Just … you're stuck in traffic?"

"Yes."

"You mind if we talk? Now?"

"Go ahead, honey, I'm in a parking lot…just…tell me what on your mind."

"Well…Casey, this morning you know, she gave me a book?"

"Ya I was there."

"It was her dairy…she wanted me to read her last two entries. First one…was two days ago…Friday night. And the other…was last night. George..eh."

"Talk Nora."

"We need to do something about their marriage, George."

"I though that was already decided."

"You don't know Casey. Well, maybe you do. She…She has dreams, George. And expectations. And … *sigh* .. you'll have to read for yourself. Just try to get home, we'll talk afterwards."

"Okay…I'll be home soon."

DASEY DASEY DASEY

"Alright…we do have something to talk about."

George sighed as he sat down on his bed. As soon as he came home, Nora all but dragged him down to their bedroom, and made him read Casey's last two entries.

He looked at Nora, only to see her as confused as he was.

"I want to help her Nora. But you know Derek. And the judge will not let them get divorced or annulled. I…I don't know what to do in this situation…Nora, Casey and Derek are legally stuck together. I can file a case, but that's not going to help any when Judge is against it!"

"I know! I know!...That's why we need to think about it." Nora said.

Nora was torn. Casey had given up so much for her when she married George. Casey's always been such a good daughter, always nice and polite, and doing her homework and house work, and oh…sigh…she wanted to see Casey happy.

Nora looked over at George, he was pacing in front of their bed, and when he caught her gaze he walked over and kissed her forehead before going back to pacing again.

Nora smiled…oh how she wanted someone like that for Casey. Someone opposite of Casey would be great for her. He'll be everything she isn't. He'll be her support when she needs and when she doesn't. He'll always make her laugh…I wish they had websites to find guys like that – Nora thought with yet another sigh.

Someone opposite of Casey…

Loud music…lacks manners…bad-guy looks…drives recklessely…cares as well…soft when needed…sweet when situation demends it…hmm…someone like Derek…DEREK!!!

"Oh my GOD!!!" Nora suddenly shouted as she set up on the bed.

"What? What's wrong?" George asked. He almost had a heart attack.

"I just had the most brilliant idea of my life – I think."

"Well?" George raised his eyebrow.

"The man Casey described…sounds like he's exactly opposite of her, right?" Nora asked.

"I..Yes, I guess so. Why?"

"Because…the only person, who exact opposite of Casey is.."

"Nora, hurry up; this isn't the time to play suspense."

"Derek!"

"What about Derek?" George was confused.

"Georgie, Derek's exactly opposite of Casey."

"Ya, I think the whole world knows that honey."

Nora just raised her eyebrow and titled her head to the side.

"Don't worry, it'll come to you." She said.

George kept his eyes on her as his brain tried to piece it all together.

"Nora…" He slowly started. "Are you planning … to match-make our eldest kids?

"Who are already married. I don't see any problems, do you?"

"Mmhmmmm…good luck." George said with a head nod.

Hey guys! Hope you like it!
