"Unfaithful" Part 7
I stood in the mirror and looked over myself once more before walking into
the living room to get my jacket and purse. Bobby had received an
invitation to the Boston Bar Association and I was his date, he had to run
to the jail so I was going to meet him there. I was wearing a red halter-
top satin dress that fell all the way down to the ground. My hair was
pulled up with a few curled strands hanging down. I had on a simple diamond
pendant necklace with matching earrings and bracelet that Bobby bought me.
It had been a little over four months since I filed for divorce and it
would be finalized in two weeks. Chris had since tried numerous times to
get me back but I wasn't going anywhere. I looked at the clock it was
already 7:00 I was going to be late. The only downside to going tonight was
Bobby's co workers were all going to be there and Chris was most likely
going to show up. They had all been invited but I hadn't due to the fact
that I'm at the lowest position in my firm, but I'm working my way up. I
put on a little make up and with my keys, jacket, and purse I walked to my
car. I got there in a ½ hour and showed my invitation before going to find
the table. Everyone was there from his firm already and that made me
uncomfortable. I walked over quietly and sat down, I picked at my newly
manicured nails. I continued to do that one by one, everyone at the table
got up to dance. I felt a tap on my shoulder and I turned hoping it was my
prince. Wrong. It was Jeff Hancock, an attorney in my firm who was always
hitting on me and making passes at me, he was attractive but not my type.
"Since you're sitting all by your lonesome care to dance?" I looked at the
door there was no Bobby, I really wanted him to be the first one I danced
with. "Actually I'm with someone I'm just
waiting."
"Well, in the meantime why don't I keep you busy." He touched my arm, I
tried pulling away.
"It's okay." I heard another voice.
"What's wrong Jeff?"
It was Chris.
"I told her instead of being by herself I could
keep her company." I looked at Chris, he had a glass of wine in his hand, I
could already tell he was bordering on drunk.
"Yeah, that's nice of you." He pulled my arm to get me to stand up.
"Chris stop." He dragged me over to
the dance floor and I tried pulling back. "It's a
dance sweetie. I'm sure you can dance with another man after sleeping with
one while you're still married!" He was loud but over the crowd and noise
nobody could hear him. He pulled me in the middle of the dance floor and
pushed me towards Jeff. The red wine spilled all over the front of my dress
and I wasn't expecting the push and I stepped on my dress ripping the end
of it.
"Leave her alone." I
looked up and saw Bobby standing there. I started to cry, I wanted my dress
to be perfect for him to see. I picked up the end of my dress and ran into
the bathroom, I looked in the mirror; my make up was ruined, my hair was a
messy, and most pieces of my dress at the end had torn. I turned the sink
on and washed the purplish stain out of my dress. It was useless. I felt
embarrassed as women entered and left the bathroom. I looked in the mirror
and looked at my pathetic face. I ran into a bathroom stall and sat on the
floor crying. I could hear the bathroom door outside opening and closing,
than I heard a woman yelling, she screamed first.
"You pervert!" I heard a thump, she was probably hitting
the person with her purse. "I'm sorry, I was just looking fo---"
Thump again. It was Bobby's voice. "My girlfriend is in here, she's upset."
Two more thumps.
"Well if I were your girlfriend I'd be
upset with you for being such a pervert!" I heard another thump and 'omph'
from the lady and then the door opened and closed again. I heard his
footsteps coming near the stall I was in.
"Linds." I just sobbed. "Sweetie, it's just me." He stood there. "Please
open the door baby." I didn't move, he stood there for another five minutes
waiting. Finally I heard him move and thought he was leaving but instead he
bent down. His knees cracked, I always tease him about that. He tucked his
head under and tried crawling under the stall. When he was finally in he
sat next to me. "There." He sighed. "This is better." We both leaned
against the wall and I still cried. He put a hand on my knee and rubbed it
gently. "You're still beautiful." He said softly to me. I turned to him.
"I wanted tonight to be perfect, I went out and got a special dress to wear
for you. I put make up on, and had my hair done. All just for you and now
it's ruined." I fell into his arms and cried. "Now you look perfect and
handsome, I'm going to ruin that by going out there with you as your date."
"No you're not. Stop that, now come on, we'll fix this." He stood up and
reached for my hands. I got up and we went over to the sink and he sat me
on the counter. "First make up." He held up my purse indicating my make up.
He asked my permission to go through it and I smiled and nodded. He wet a
paper towel and wiped my face, dried away the tears and cleaned the make up
off. Then he took my foundation and with a little help from me he put that
on. Next he got out the eye shadow and told me to close my eyes, I was
uneasy at first about letting him do it but he's seen me do it enough
times. "Open." I
slowly opened my eyes. "Okay close." I closed them again and felt the brush
sweep across my eyes. "Open." He stood staring at me. "Perfect." He got my
eye pencil out and there were four different colours. He looked at me
strangely "Which one?" There was a black, blue, silver and red one. I had
them from Halloween one year.
"Black." He put all of them back except the silver. "Bobby, the
black." He shook his head. "I want the silver, your eyes
already sparkle, now they'll double sparkle." I couldn't help but laugh.
"Now, I don't want to hurt you."
"Don't worry, you won't." He
carefully put the silver eyeliner on.
"Mascara?" I nodded and he pulled out two. "Difference?"
"This one is waterproof." I took
the waterproof one and handed it to him. "Probably should've used this
to begin with."
"You didn't know." He
applied my mascara and placed it back in my bag. "Lastly, lip goo.
"Lip goo?"
"Yeah, it's
gooey stuff for you lips."
"I see." I handed him my bag again and he took out a deep maroon colour and
light pink. "This looks nice." First he put on the dark glossy
colour and went over it with the light pink gloss. He went over both of
those colours with a clear gloss. "All done my beautiful bride." He paused.
"My beautiful princess." He was red. "Let's get that stain out of your
dress now." He got a towel and soap and rubbed down my dress, I stopped
him. "Bobby,
what did you mean?" He looked up.
"What?"
"My beautiful bride, what did you mean?" He
started cleaning my dress again. "Oh
nothing, I misspoke."
"I know but
something must be on your mind."
"Well, you look beautiful, perfect enough to be
a bride." This made me nervous and happy. "You'll make a beautiful bride
one day, that's what I'm trying to say and seeing you looking like this
made me think of it more." I looked down I was happy and confused. The way
he said it made it sound like I wasn't going to be his bride one day.
"Well get used to it
because on that one day I'll be your beautiful bride." I looked up and saw
him smile, he leaned over and kissed me.
"You must really like that colour lip gloss." I pointed to his face. He
looked in the mirror where he saw he too was wearing my lip gloss. We
laughed and he wiped it off and touched my lips.
"Now you stay here,
I'm going to go to the laundry room and grab something." I nodded. The
Banquet was being held at Ritz hotel so there was a place to do laundry. 5
minutes later he came back with a mini bottle of Shout stain remover. He
rubbed it on my dress over the stain and left it on there for ten minute,
washed it off and the only spot left on my dress was the water and a little
red but it was gone for the most part. "All better, what else?" He looked
at my ripped dress. "I can fix that." He pulled out some saftey pins I had
in my purse. He folded the hem and pinned it up covering the rip almost
completely. "How's that?"
"You fixed it." He shrugged his shoulders.
"Nah, but it looks good." I smiled and hugged him tight.
"Thank you." He hugged me back and kissed my cheek.
"Don't mention it." He reached for my hands and I got up. "Now anything
else?" I shook my head no. "Good, let's get out of here before anymore
women come in and hit me." I smiled and we walked over to the door.
"Wait." He stopped.
"Yes?" I blushed.
"I have to pee."
"Well that's something you don't need me for." I blushed again.
"Yes, I kind of do." He gave me a funny look.
"Excuse me?"
"You know, to hold my dress so I don't ruin it." He laughed at me and we
walked into the stall, he held my dress while I went to the bathroom. When
I was done and we got to the door he looked at me.
"Done now?" I nodded and smiled and he extended his arm out to me. "Would
you kindly be my date tonight?" I accepted his arm.
"Yes kind sir, it would be my pleasure." I smiled and we walked out the
door.
"Pleasure is all mine Ms. Dole." We walked out the door and to the floor
where everyone was dancing and talking. "Would you care to dance with me?"
I took his hand and we went out to the center of the floor.
"Take me away forever Mr. Donnell."
"Your wish is my command." We danced and swayed to the music.
"I never want us to drift apart." I whispered to his ear, he pulled back
and kissed me.
"I promise, we'll never drift apart from each other. Never, there's nowhere
else I'd rather be than here with you." My eyes teared up. He wiped them
away. "Hey, I didn't mean to make you cry." I shook my head no.
"No, I'm happy, these are happy tears."
"Those are allowed then." He laughed and pulled me into his arms tighter
and I laid my head on his shoulder. We danced through the song and into
the next. We were swaying back and forth until Bobby was pushed from me. I
opened my eyes and found him on the floor and Chris was on top of him
beating him up. I screamed and ran over to them. I tried pulling Chris off
of him and he slapped me and pushed me off of him and onto the ground.
Bobby saw him do that and jumped on him.
"You leave her alone! You don't ever touch her!" Bobby was screaming and
punching him. I kept telling Chris to leave him alone. Everybody had
gathered in a circle around the fight. I could hear Bobby's firm behind me
making fun of me, telling me it was all my fault. Finally two guys came
over and pulled them apart, one of them was Eugene.
"I told you to leave Lindsay alone!" Chris lunged again but was held back
by some guy.
"I'm not going to stay away from my girlfriend!" Bobby tried to go after
him but I stopped him. I put my hand on his chest.
"Bobby, don't bother. He's trash and isn't worth anything, don't waste your
time on him." I took his hand and led him away.
"You're the trash." I heard Rebecca behind me. I turned around and saw the
food table next to me. I dug my hand deep into the cake and threw it all
over her. I heard Bobby say my name, Rebecca threw cake back at me and then
I picked up the ladle full of punch, I tipped it over her head and walked
to Bobby. I grabbed his hand and we walked out of the hotel leaving a crowd
just staring.
"I'm so sorry Bobby." I started crying, he took me in his arms and I got
cake all over his tuxedo.
"It's okay, we'll be all right, just remember no matter what you and I have
got each other." I smiled and he took his tux jacket off and wrapped it
around my shoulders. "I'll walk you to your car and go back inside and get
your purse and jacket."
"Okay." He walked me to my car and I got inside.
"I'll be right back." I pulled some towels out from my backseat and wiped
my face and dress. Bobby came back a few minutes later and handed me my
things.
"Thanks." He bent down to my opened window.
"I'll meet you at home okay?" I was shocked he still wanted me home.
"You still want me home?"
"Of course, what went on there was something you weren't to blame for. If
anyone is to blame it was me, I slept with a woman I knew was married. You
flat out told me and I went and slept with you anyways."
"Yeah and I kept sleeping with you."
"Only because you were in a loveless marriage."
"No I had feelings for you too. But still-"
"No but stills it's going to be fine because you and I are happy and that's
what matters."
"Fine, I'll see you at home." I tried to smile I didn't notice the blood on
his white shirt or his face until I just looked at him in the light. "Oh my
god Bobby, your face."
"I know I'm not the most handsome, but do we have to be that harsh?" I
laughed.
"You're very handsome but it's all cut and bruised."
"Oh, don't worry about me. I'm all right." I brushed a finger across his
bruised cheek. He leaned over and kissed me. "Love you."
"Love you too." He got up and walked to his car. I drove to what was now
called "our" home. When I got inside the lights were dimmed and I could see
the flickering of candles. I could also hear the music softly in the
background, it was one of Bobby's Frank Sinatra CD's, before my time I like
to say. I tease him about it all the time. I walked into the living room
and Bobby had wine sitting on the table. He was sitting on the couch
waiting for me with a smile on his face.
"Thought you'd never get home." I laughed at his comment.
"I went the speed limit and there was traffic."
"Sure, well I took the short cut." He teased. I walked and sat next to him.
"Well what have you got going on here?" I pointed to the table and stereo.
"I thought we could dance and share some wine since we didn't get the
chance to earlier tonight." I put a hand on his leg.
"I'm sorry about tonight, I know how big the Bar Association is."
"It's all right. I've been going for years and there is more to come. Now
how about a dance?" I smiled and took his hands. We got up and danced the
whole night, we laughed and drank and laughed more. Finally at about 2 am
we collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep in each other's arms. Two weeks
later Bobby and I were in my lawyer's office, we were waiting for Chris to
show up. It was time to sign the divorce papers and make this final. I was
fidgeting and really nervous. Finally the door opened and Chris walked in
with his lawyer. They both sat down and with few words spoken I signed the
paper and Chris copied. We all stood up and Bobby and Chris shared glances,
they looked like they were out to kill each other. Chris left before us and
when we walked out he was there. Bobby led me to his car quickly and we
left. I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulder and I could
begin a new weight. This time I knew it would be a different weight; it
wouldn't be as heavy. I knew there would be an equal balance this time and
I couldn't wait.

"I'm sorry about tonight, I know how big the Bar Association is."
"It's all right. I've been going for years and there is more to come. Now
how about a dance?" I smiled and took his hands. We got up and danced the
whole night, we laughed and drank and laughed more. Finally at about 2 am
we collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep in each other's arms. Two weeks
later Bobby and I were in my lawyer's office, we were waiting for Chris to
show up. It was time to sign the divorce papers and make this final. I was
fidgeting and really nervous. Finally the door opened and Chris walked in
with his lawyer. They both sat down and with few words spoken I signed the
paper and Chris copied. We all stood up and Bobby and Chris shared glances,
they looked like they were out to kill each other. Chris left before us and
when we walked out he was there. Bobby led me to his car quickly and we
left. I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulder and I could
begin a new weight. This time I knew it would be a different weight; it
wouldn't be as heavy. I knew there would be an equal balance this time and
I couldn't wait.
