Chapter 10 *
"So do you want to talk about it now?" Monique and Kirsten are now in the kitchen, drinking tea and trying to calm down their nerves.
"No."
"Ok, so I'll brief you on what's happened since you left." Monique has been waiting for someone to talk to about this, and now, seemed like the perfect time for a little distraction.
"I doubt much has."
Monique laughed, "You have no idea."
"What? You and Jeff aren't mating like bunnies yet?"
"No, quite the opposite, actually."
Kirsten was surprised, "ok, spill, now."
"We broke up K." Of course, Moni told Kirsten just as she was taking a sip of tea, and the tea was sent flying everywhere.
"What the hell happened?!?!?!?!?! Do you need me to beat him up?"
"No K. It was a mutual thing."
Kirsten wasn't sure that was the truth. "Are you sure? And you still haven't told me what happened."
"Well if you give me a few minutes, I'll tell ya." Kirsten rested her cup down and waited intently while Monique relived the passed weeks events.
2 weeks ago;
It was a Friday afternoon; Monique took the day off from work so she can hang out with Jeff. They went and picked up Nicole. Monique cooked a special dinner for them; Jeff and Nicole devoured it in what seem liked seconds. They sent Nicole to her room to go play. Jeff and Monique were sitting in front of the TV "watching" a TV special.
In between kisses, Monique tried to say, "I thought you wanted to watch this."
"How can I watch some stupid TV show with this gorgeous woman sitting next to me."
Monique started to blush. Jeff thought it was cute and funny.
"Ohh, a big bad marine…blushing."
Monique playfully punched Jeff in the shoulder just as Nicole comes pouncing into the room.
"What ya dooooooing?" The little 4 year old inquired.
"we're just watching TV, sweetie."
"Well, I want daddy to pway."
Monique's and Jeff's eyes bugged out of their sockets.
"Needless to say, that freaked him out, and two days later, we were broken up."
Kirsten's mouth was glued to the floor. She couldn't believe it. Nicole has never gotten that attached to anyone before. The two sisters, clean up the kitchen, Kirsten goes to bed, seeing as how once again, she hasn't slept for days.
Around midnight, Kirsten had her third nightmare of the night. She got up, put her jacket on, and went for a walk to clear her head. There was too much stuff going on in her life right now; her fight with Matt, going home, the whole Sept. 11th attack, coming home to find out that Jeff and Monique aren't together anymore, that's a lot to digest. She didn't even make it to the end of the driveway; she got into her car and drove. There was something she had to do.
