Unexpected Love
Chapter 5
The next morning,
Susan hit her snooze button on her clock; she really didn't want to get up. She looked at the clock, and it saw that it read 7:30am. Slowly, she climbed out of bed, and went into the kitchen, and saw the mess on the floor that she forgot to clean up last night.
As she started to clean up the mess, and all she could think about was Brent, "why would he be hiding stuff from me"? You know him for a few months, and you really think that he is going to tell me everything, thought Susan to herself.
Susan then knew what she needed to do. She picked up the phone and phoned him.
"Hi, Brent, this is Susan, I really need to talk to you, so give me a call when you get this message," Susan sighed. "I hope I'm wrong about Brent. I hope he isn't hiding anything from me because I don't want to lose someone who I'm falling in love with."

As Susan was walking to work, she could feel someone following her. "Get a grip," Susan told herself. She then felt someone touch her shoulder.
"Get away from me!!"
"Susan, it's only me," Susan turned around and saw Carter standing in front of her. "Oh, sorry," Susan started to feel better when she realized that it was only Carter, nobody is following you," she told herself.
"Are you okay?" asked Carter, as they started to walk to work. "Yeah, I'm fine, I'm just a little on edge today," said Susan quietly.
"It seems more than that,"
Susan looked at Carter," It's nothing, just forget about it,"
"Fine, if you sure, you know where you can find me if something is bothering you,"
"I know, thanks." "So tell me, how are you and Abby?" asked Susan as she tried to change the subject, if only it was that easy for her to forget. But soon, she will find out everything there is to know about Brent.

Susan was walking to her next patient when Abby came up to her. "Are you okay?" Susan turned around. "What did Carter tell you to ask me?" snapped Susan.
"Nothing, I've been calling your name, and you just kept on walking." Susan looked at Abby, "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap, I just have stuff on my mind," Susan said softly.
"Are you having problems with Brent already?"
"Something like that,"
"I'll talk to you later," she said as she walked into the room. "I'm Doctor Lewis, what seems to be the matter" she said as she closed the door.

Later that night,
When Susan got home, there were 3 messages from Brent. She called him back immediately as she was going to find out what he was hiding now.
"Hello," said Brent." Are you okay? You sounded weird on your message,"
"Do you think that you could come over, say in half an hour?" asked Susan.
"Sure," said Brent." I'll be there soon,"
"Bye," he said as he hung up the phone. Susan hung up the phone, and started to get nervous. Why are you so nervous, maybe he has nothing to hide or maybe he does?" she thought to herself.
***
Brent arrived exactly half an hour later. "Susan, are you okay?" Brent, asked, concerned as he walked into the apartment. She looked at him, and could see that he was really worried about her. Maybe that phone call was just a prank and nothing more.
"I'm okay, but I think we really need to talk," replied Susan as she closed the door. "Do you want something to drink first?" asked Susan, who wasn't sure she wanted to talk, as she didn't know what to say to him. Hi, how are you, and are you hiding anything from me?" thought Susan to herself.
"No, thanks, just tell me what is wrong" said Brent as she took Susan's hand.
"Okay, let's sit down," said Susan as they sat down on the couch. Susan took a deep breath before she spoke. "I have only known you for a few months, but I have really grown to like you, but I need to know if you are hiding anything from me. Susan looked at Brent, and couldn't believe what she just said, what happens if he isn't hiding anything from me, and I just lost the best relationship I had ever had.
Brent took Susan's hand. "I'm starting to really like you too," said Brent as he leaned over and kissed Susan. Brent wasn't sure if he should tell her or not, but he knew that he needed to be honest with her, because he loves her. "I think there is something that you should know," But before he could say anything, they heard a loud noise outside of her apartment.
"I'll go see what that is," said Brent. "I'll come with you," Susan said as she followed him outside. They looked everywhere, but there was nobody in sight. Susan then saw someone leaving.
"Someone is there," Susan told Brent. Brent ran after the woman. "What are you doing here?" asked Brent as he went up to the woman. He couldn't believe that she was here. Susan looked at Brent, and could tell that he knew this woman. "Do you know her?
"What, you haven't told your new girlfriend about me?" asked the woman angrily. So many thoughts were going through her mind at that moment. Who is this woman, and how does Brent know her?
"I'll ask you again, who is she?" Susan said firmly. Brent looked at Susan. This isn't how I was going to tell her, thought Brent to himself.
"She is my wife,"
To be continued!!!!
Author's Note: I know you are probably thinking that Brent is cheating on his wife, but there is a lot more to Brent's story.
