CHAPTER 30:
The police officer walked towards Miguel's car. It was a man about my Daddy's age.
He looked familiar. I looked at his nametag. Caulfield.
Caulfield! The man that almost gave me a ticket five years ago when I was rushing to
stop Charity and Miguel's wedding! I remembered.
"Can I see your driver's license and registration sir?" Officer Caulfield said to
Miguel.
"Sure," Miguel grumbled, taking out the necessary stuff.
"Officer Caulfield, hi," I said from my seat. "You remember me right?"
He peered inside the car to get a better glance of me.
"Chief Bennett's daughter? Kathleen isn't it?"
"Yes but please call me Kay. How are you, sir?" I asked.
"I'm good, Kay," he responded. "Funny this is the second time I'm bumping in to you
and through a speeding ticket."
"And for each speeding ticket the destination was a wedding," I added, chuckling.
[Author's Note: if u guys remember (those of u who have read all the chapters) Kay was
pulled over by the same cop when she was rushing to put a stop to miguels and charitys
wedding about 5 years ago].
Mr. Caulfield laughed. "Your father told me that a few years ago you stopped that
wedding you were rushing to. It was your cousin's and a man named Miguel's wedding huh?
Wait a minute ...." said the officer as he once again checked Miguel's driver's license.
Looking up in astonishment, "Your Miguel!" he exclaimed.
Miguel nodded, looking a bit uncomfortable.
"So you stopped the wedding and now the two of you are married, huh?" Officer
Caulfield continued.
"No," I said, sounding just as uncomfortable as Miguel looked. "When I went to
college, he decided to get back with my cousin. They're married now...." My voice trailed off
as the pain of this truth about Miguel and Charity resurfaced.
There was a long awkward silence between the three of us.
"Oh," was all the officer said as he handed Miguel back the registration slip and ID.
I had to change the mood and subject. "Officer Caulfield why don't you join us? We
were just headed to a wedding reception. My father, brother and uncle all got married today,
and I'm sure my father would be thrilled to have you."
"I'd love to come," said the officer, nodding his head. "I'll be there in an hour."
After having given him directions to the reception hall, Miguel drove off.
I could tell the mood between Miguel and me had definitely taken a turn, but for the
worse. We had just begun talking civilly to each other and now, Miguel was quiet and I was
wondering how he was feeling about everything that we had just discussed with the police
officer.
We had almost reached the reception hall when Miguel began to speak.
"How could you tell the officer that I decided to get back with Charity when you went
to college, Kay?!" Miguel said, a bit angry. "You made it seem like I went to Charity when
you left just so I could have someone to BE with while you were away!"
"I'm sorry, Miguel," I said. "But the truth is you DID go back to Charity while I was
at UConn."
"Yeah, but I only went to her because...." Miguel's voice trailed off, making me
wonder what it was he was going to say. Did he go back to Charity because he thought I had
deserted him? Or was there something else I didn't know about?
"Because of what, Miguel?" I said, forcing him to answer.
"We're reached the reception hall, Kay," Miguel said, changing the subject. "We'll
talk about this later."
He stepped out of the car and came to towards the passenger door.
I was getting frustrated. Why was Miguel being such a wimp? He had told me awhile
ago that he had married Charity but why was it so hard for him to tell me why? Something was
definitely up. But I would find out. No matter what.
I stepped out of the car, trying to focus on the wedding celebrations that would soon be
under way. Miguel and I could talk later. And we would.
Miguel and I walked inside to the reception hall. No one besides some friends of Ivy's
and Liz's that we didn't know were there.
"Come on, Miguel," I said, taking his hand. "There not here yet. Let's go back to the
car. We have to talk."
"But what about the celebration?" Miguel asked.
"Don't worry, we'll be able to see the limo when they arrive."
"Ok," Miguel said reluctantly. We headed back to his car.
It was definitely time for confession(s). One from me and it seemed like one from
Miguel.
[A/N: Tell me tell me tell me what u THINK!!! I really want opinions/criticisms and
stuff. Am I dragging this out tooooo much or not at all? Give me your ideas/things u want to
