Two months later Karen sat at her desk as usual. Grace had called her up early that morning saying she would be late. All Grace really wanted was for Karen to answer the phone and take messages until she arrived. So there she sat waiting for someone to call. She had read through four magazines already!
She got up and went to the window. It was cloudy, it looked like in any second it would start pouring. She sat on the window seal and looked out into the city.
It was the middle of January and it was still chilly. One minute it would snow and the next it would rain. The weather was confusing but, Karen thought well at least it's warm inside.
She continued staring out the out the window as she drifted in thought. She thought how lucky she was to have friends who loved her and a man who was crazy about her. She was very grateful for everything she had. Drinking was the last thing on her mind now. She had changed her perspective of looking at things. Stan had disappeared and hadn't bother her after the whole hospital situation. She didn't need anymore of that drama. She was happy the way she was now.
As she continued daydreaming she felt a hand being placed on her shoulder. She reacted by gasping and turning around in a wild manner. On the verge of getting a panic attack when she saw that it was only Will.
"Geez Will you scared the crap out of me!" she blurted out of breath.
"Oh I'm sorry sweetie. I didn't mean to." He said lowering himself to kiss and hug her.
"Aw it's alright sweetie."
"Where is Grace?"
"Oh she had a doctor's appointment."
"Is she ok?" he asked a bit worried.
"Yeah… I guess so… so what are you doing here honey?" she asked standing in front of him holding his jacket in her fists.
"Oh I just came to see this very gorgeous woman that works here. She drives me crazy!" he smiled as he went into a daydream state.
"Well Grace isn't here so your wasting your time." She said smiling waiting for a reaction.
"Oh no, she cant be compared to Grace. She is the opposite of Grace. She's small and petite. Green eyes, soft pale skin, dark hair, gorgeous features. She's just everything I prayed for."
"So who is this mystery woman?"
"I think you know her? Her name is Karen Walker."
"Oh my God! No way! That's my name!" she began laughing and becoming more desirable to Will.
"Really what a coincidence. You do look like her and sound like her but, do u kiss like her?" he pulled her into his embrace and dipped her.
"Lets find out." she offered seductively.
"Lets…"
Karen pulled him down to her lips and teased for a sec. She let her lips rub against his without ever kissing him. Will's tongue traced Karen's lips as she used to when she'd tease him. This sent shivers down her spine. They finally locked their lips and deepened it. Will's tongue awaited entrance to her mouth and she instantly allowed him access as he did to hers. They broke apart for air and stared into each others eyes.
"Yeah you must be her." he said breathless.
"Oh shut up…" she playfully smacked his arm.
"So how much farther would you go Mrs. Walker?" he asked smirking at her.
"You must think I'm a common whore Mr. Truman?" she said giggling.
"Well no…oh come here…" he pulled her back into his arms.
She giggled as he spun her around and pulled her into a kiss. Karen instantly deepened the kiss and Will continued. Karen began walking backwards and pulling Will along all the while not breaking the kiss. They parted for air when Will backed her into a wall. Karen looked up at him and Will could see the fire burning in her eyes. It was like every touch was fire on her skin. Will picked her up and franticly went in for another kiss that made Karen want to have him right there and then. She could feel Will's hands going up and her legs. She could feel her core becoming soaked.
Karen still in Will's arms began undoing his tie and running her hands under his jacket. He sat her down on the nearest table.
"Oh god Will…"she said breathlessly as Will went for her neck.
He began undoing the buttons to her shirt as he followed them with kisses. He only undid a few to where he had a clear view of her breast. He began to go back up to her shoulders. Kissing her shoulder he looked over to the door and saw a very shocked Jack and Grace. Their jaws were hanging as low as they could possibly go.
"Grace, Jack!" Will said holding on to Karen's arms.
Karen jerked her head to the door and saw them as well all wide eyed.
"Oh my God, Gracie, Jackie" she hurried to do the buttons on her shirt.
"Why don't you guys try to keep your heterosexual sex at home?" Jack said putting his stuff down on Karen's desk.
"Yeah, well not entirely what Jack said but, yeah you get me." Grace said going towards the table where Karen sat.
Karen adjusted her clothes and Will helped her off the high table. She was blushing a bit as she noticed Jack and Grace staring at her. She walked to her desk sat down and acted like nothing had happened. She thumbed through her catalog and began to hum a tune. The other three looked at her with odd looks on their faces. She slowly unglued her stare from the catalog and into three giggling faces.
"What?" she said trying not to laugh as well.
The room filled with laughter as the seconds past by.
"Oh Kare your quite a character…"
"Oh shut up! This is really embarrassing…and I feel bad for Jackie, he's seen worse."
"Yeah it's true…a few years back I walked in on her and Stan having sex." He shivered at the horrific memory.
"It wasn't pretty for either of us but Stan." She recalled rolling her eyes.
Will scoffed and turned around to look at the window. Grace shrugged and looked over at Karen. Jack looked over at Will and then Karen. Karen sighed and walked over to Will and wrapped her arms around him. He tugged away but, didn't move.
"Hey, come on honey. I was married to Stan for a because I loved him. It wasn't just problems all our marriage. There was good side to it too. I did love him but you know why I left him. Now its you and only you. There's nothing that would make me change my mind about it. I swear." She assured him with glistening eyes.
"Oh God, Karen I love you! I wouldn't pick anyone over you either." He pulled her into yet another kiss.
Grace and Jack stared at them and finally realized they really did have that love for each other. Jack began sniffling and Karen turned to look at him. Will turned Karen wrapping his arms around her.
"Hey guys what do you say we go out to dinner my treat?" Will said kissing Karen on top her head.
"That would be a great idea , honey!" she said wrapping his arms tighter around her.
"I love free meals!" Jack jumped for joy.
"Yeah , I'll call Leo and let him know."
"No Gracie tell him he can come too."
"No that's ok guys I wanted it to be the four of us only."
"Alright!"
"Your sure honey?"
"Yeah Kare I'm sure…"
They all got hold of their belongings and head to dinner. It been a while since it was just them four. They needed to catch up on things in their lives. Jack Was viscously dating men all over the place, Grace was still married to Leo and Will and Karen were happily together. Not a care in the world. Stan was out of their lives and they were in love. The worst was to come when there was an uninvited call and guest at dinner. They were in for the ride of their lives.
Dun Dun Dun !
