Nick hadn't been home in two weeks. He and Mollie hadn't really talked much, except about Allison. She'd taken Allison to see him at the hotel almost every day. They told Allison Nick was on a business trip and that's why he was staying at the hotel Randy had tried to call Nick but he refused to answer his calls and texts. Mollie had the day off. Her cell phone rang.
"Hello?" She said.
"Hi Moll." Randy said.
"Hi."
"Has Nick come home yet?"
"No." "We've hardly talked."
"He won't talk to me either."
"Allison's staying with a friend tonight." "I'm going to see Nick after I drop her off." "I hope he'll talk to me."
"Well I'm home if you need to talk later."
"You're home?"
"Yeah."
"I hope Nick doesn't give you any trouble."
"I can handle myself." "I'll just be here putting together the baby's crib."
"You bought a crib."
"Yeah, the baby will need somewhere to sleep."
"I've gotta go."
"Ok." "Good luck."
"Thanks."
Later that night at around eight o'clock Mollie went to the hotel and got the key from the front desk. She didn't want to run the risk of him not letting her in. She went inside his room. She could hear a woman moaning from the bedroom. She went into the bedroom, saw candles lit and Becca and Nick having sex.
"Nick!" She yelled.
"Mollie." He said surprised He got up and put on his boxers.
"Becca, get out." She said firmly. Becca got dressed as quickly as she could and left. Mollie looked at Nick angrily. "What the fuck are you doing?"
"Thank you for giving me an excuse." He thought.
"I was just so angry, and I wanted to get back at you."
"So because I make one mistake, that gives you the right to do the same thing?!
"I don't know."
"At least now I know how much I mean to you."
"How could you say that?" "You and Allison are my whole world."
"So much so that you fuck your secretary as some kind of twisted revenge." "I can't even look at you right now." She left.
Randy was sitting at home. There was a knock at his door. He answered it. It was Mollie. As soon as he saw her he knew something had happened.
"Come in." He said. She went inside. They sat down on the couch. "What happened?"
"I went to Nick's hotel room, I found him and Becca having sex."
"How could he do that to you?"
"He said he did it because he was mad at me." "I don't know, maybe I deserved it."
"What?" Randy said in disbelief. "I don't care what we did." "That son of a bitch has no right to treat you like that." "Don't let him manipulate you into thinking you deserve this, you don't."
"I still can't believe it." "I know Nick's mad but I never thought he would... She started crying a little.
Randy hugged her. "It's ok." "Try and calm down, it's not good for the baby."
"How do you know that?"
"I've been reading up."
"You have?"
"Yeah."
"At least one good thing came from that night." "You know what I mean."
"I know."
She kissed him but broke it after a few seconds. "I'm sorry." "I don't know why I did that." "I should go."
"You should stay."
"I can't take advantage of our feelings for each other because I'm mad at Nick."
"Our feelings?"
"What?"
"You said you can't take advantage of our feelings."
"No, I said your feelings."
"No you didn't."
"Bye." She left.
