The bronze elevator doors opened. Tom Quincy stepped out; looking as sharp as ever. A pair of dark wash jeans, and a pink polo hanging off his muscular body. Trademark sunglasses perched atop his perfectly messy styled hair. Than, he spotted her- his wife. Her slender legs crossed, as she sat on one of the couches in his lobby.
" Hey-" he said, finally coming face to face with her- finally getting a good look at the woman he had married last year. The woman that he filed for divorce against him six months later- a month before Jude's sixteenth birthday.
" Hey" she answered back.
They went on their way, stopping to Tim Horton's for a quick coffee.
Sitting down at a window side table, both with their coffees in hand, Tommy and Michelle sat in silence.
" So- it's been a while" she said.
" Yea."
" Look Tom, I know this all must come as a surprise to you- me working at Gmajor now, and walking back into your life…"
" Well considering that you were the one who cheated on me, JUST so you had a reason to leave me so you could climb the famous people ladder, and live life to your wants and needs, not caring about any one else- YEA it came as a shock to me."
" Tommy calm down will you. I wanted to meet today so I could apologize to you. For everything. Not just for the separation, but for waltzing into your life- your workplace- without warning you before hand."
For a second, Tommy wanted to believe he saw sincerity in her eyes. Those eyes he once thought he fell in love with .
" I - your actually apologizing?" that was a first for Tommy to hear from Michelle.
" Yes , I am" she replied, blowing on her coffee before she took a sip.
"Look, the only thing I want to ask from you right now is to be open. Be open to me. I want to give us another shot."
All Tommy could do was drink his coffee. Standing up and walking to his car, he screamed at the top of his lungs as soon as the click of the car door could be heard. First all the shit with Jude, and now the love of his life from a year and a half a go pronounced her interest in giving their relationship another shot.
Oh fuck.
