John walked into the clinic having had a somewhat restful night. He and Nikki spend the night at her place making love the whole night. He liked that he got the whole night with her but it didn't change that he still wanted Kate. He couldn't help but wonder what she was doing in Miami. She probably had spent the night in her room after the conference and dinner reading. And today she would probably spend it at the hotel reading by the ocean. He doubt she would leave the hotel.
He walked into the conference room for the morning meeting and saw Sabrina and Roman already there. "Morning."
"Morning, John." Sabrina said with distain. "I guess you had a good night since Kate filed divorce and you're free to fuck your mistress all you want."
"When are you going to stop acting like you were the one I screwed around on, Sabrina." John snapped hatefully. "I guess no one makes mistakes in your perfect little world."
"I never said no one makes mistakes." She replied. "But Kate is my best friend and you're just the ass who fucked another woman on her."
"Guys, let's focus on the patients. We are two doctors down with Kate and Dwayne in Miami." Roman said to them trying to keep the peace between them.
"No. Screw the patients. I'm not really in the mood." John slapped a coffee cup off the table. "Why don't you two call me when you can start acting like professionals and stop harassing me about my personal life." He stormed off to his office and slammed the door.
Roman looked at Sabrina. "Couldn't you let it go for now? Kate knows, she filed for divorce and their marriage is over. We are all doctors here and we need to remember that."
"I know but he's an ass and you know he is." Sabrina replied with a sigh. "But I will try to be more professional with him."
"Good. Now I will go see if I can't unruffled John's feathers." He kissed his fiancée and walked to John's office.
"Jerk." Sabrina fired off one last shot at John under her breath then began to browse the file in front of her. It was a complicated case and as much as she hated it, John was the only one with the experience to help.
Roman knocked on John's office door and heard him say come in. "John, I was hoping you and I could talk. And I wanted to apology for the conference room."
"What's the difference. It's nice to know where everyone's loyalty lies and I was stupid to think that I actually had friends in this place."
"No one has taken sides except Sabrina." Roman replied. "We are friends John and we have been for many years. Dwayne and I asked you and Kate to come to the clinic because we knew you would be a value to it and you have been. This just isn't easy you know."
"I know and it's nothing personal Roman. I just never thought this would happen."
Roman looked at him. "Which part? Cheating on Kate or getting caught?" He sighed. "I want your side of things John. Everyone pretty much knows Kate's. So, what's yours?"
"I've been asking myself the same question and honestly, I guess I'm just an ass. I love sex, Roman. It's the only thing I can say. I love my wife. She's amazing and she's been perfect, but she's so tired after work and she falls asleep right after we are finished in bed and even though I get mine I still always want to do it more than once a day and then there are the days when she doesn't feel like it at all."
"So, you found someone else to pick up where Kate's not getting the job done?"
John nodded. "I never thought it was a big deal. I don't love Nikki. But she does things that Kate wont do. Don't you ever need some excitement in your life? Well, I do. Kate won't sneak around with me in the office. But Nikki, she will do almost anything. It's just ... fun."
"I see Kate not wanting to have sex in the office because she's a professional." Roman replied. "And I guess I do understand the need for some excitement but John, let me ask you a question. Was sleeping with Nikki and hurting Kate like this worth it?"
"Everything with Nikki was great, but I guess if I could go back and change it, I would. I never wanted Kate to be hurt. I hate myself for that. I do love her. If I could go back, I would have found someone outside of the office."
Roman looked at him. "So, you regret Kate getting hurt because you were seeing someone in the office. But you don't regret cheating on her? Is that what you're telling me?"
"I liked it." John shrugged. "I liked having Nikki here and then going home and having my wife. You know" he chuckled. "I always thought that Kate loved me so much that she would do anything to make me happy. I guess I saw this turning out much differently."
"How did you see this turning out? I mean really? How did you?"
"Nikki moving in with us." John smiled mischievously. "Hey, there are guys who have more than one wife all over this country. I guess I thought Kate was someone who would be open minded. Those guys have it all." he sat with his feet up on his desk. "I guess I wanted it all. And I had hoped Kate would be open to an open marriage. Me, her and Nikki all in this together as a threesome."
"That's disgusting John and illegal."
"Only if I marry Nikki which I never planned on doing." John looked at him. "I never planned to divorce Kate. Never. And I never told Nikki I would marry her."
Roman sighed. He had no idea what to say to John about that. So, he decided on a different approach. "Okay, John. Say it was the other way around. Say Kate was cheating on you with someone here at the office. Let's just say Dwayne. How would you have reacted to Kate having an affair with him?"
"That's ridiculous. Kate can barely keep up with me. How would she find the time to screw Dwayne. Besides, she's lucky she has me and she knows it."
"So, you don't think Kate would find someone else? She's a beautiful woman. Most guys would give anything to have a woman like that. I think you were the lucky one."
"You're not me, Roman. There are just some things that Kate knows she won't find with anyone else. She'll be back and she will be willing to play by my rules"
"You seem so sure about that. But she filed for divorce and she seems pretty sure she wants the divorce." Roman replied. "What exactly do you think you can give Kate that no one else can?"
"Don't worry about it man. She knows." He laughed. "And its not over. If it was she wouldn't still be sleeping with me."
"She's not sleeping with you." They heard from the door and saw Sabrina standing there. "She told me all about that. It was a mistake and she knew it. She said it was. And it wouldn't happen again."
"She's just hurt, but it will heal." John shrugged. "And she will sleep with me again. I promise you that."
"You really are an arrogant ass." Sabrina said to him. "I told Kate when she left for Miami to have some fun. And if she take the advice, then hopefully she's finding some hot guy down there and having some amazing sex with him. Then she will realize that you are very disappointing in bed."
"Who the hell do you think you are!" John screamed at her, slamming his fists down on his desk." You bitch! What gives you the right to encourage her to destroy our marriage!"
"She isn't the one who destroyed it. That was you." Sabrina replied. "You cheated first with the office slut. Now, let's hope Kate is just returning the favor and having some better sex of her own."
"You better hope she doesn't." John growled. "If she is truly your friend, you will pray that she doesn't take your advice to heart."
"And what exactly will you do, John." Sabrina said with a half smile. "She's done with you. And she deserves to have some happiness now. And I really hope she's screwing the hell out of some guy. It would just be what you deserve."
"Shut up." John growled through clenched teeth.
"Did I hit a nerve?" She smiled. "Are you realizing that Kate can do better than you? That she doesn't need you. Because she doesn't."
"Shut up, Sabrina." He repeated. He knew he was losing his temper.
"I'm just telling you like it is." She said walking back to the door. "Get with the program John. Kate is done with you and here's an image for you. If Kate took my advice about Miami. Then she's in bed with some hot guy who is giving her the best sex ever. Picture that the rest of the day." She smiled and walked out.
John jumped for his desk and followed her out of the room. He grabbed her arm and shook it hard.
"What the hell are you doing?" She asked when he did. She saw Roman coming up to them.
"I suggest you let her go John." He said to him.
John ignored Roman, feeling that no one was a match for him as he normally did. "Sabrina, I'm warning you." He gave her a hard shake.
"And I'm warning you." Roman said grabbing John's hand. He applied pressure bringing John to his knees. "Touch my girl again and it will be the last thing you do. Now I suggest we all get back to work. We have rehab patients to help."
Sabrina nodded and walked away leaving the guys there. Roman let go of John and headed to his own office. John sighed and headed back inside. He had to talk to Kate and dialed her number. It went straight to voicemail. He hoped she would call him back and they could talk. He had to convince her in someway to stay with him. He couldn't and wouldn't let her be with someone else.
