*NOTES*: I know the ending of the last chapter was worded oddly, but I am on painkillers for my arm so bare with me! I'm not sure if I wanna make this story a Carby or Carsan, so PLEASE help me out by giving me some suggestions (no flameage please!!!). Thank you for reading!
Chapter 3:
When I woke up, Abby was nowhere around and as soon as I saw Susan I realized what had happened last night. I shook Susan to wake her.
"Hey," I said, "Are you awake?"
"Um, huh," she said sleepily, "Where am I?"
"It's me, Carter," I said slowly, "Remember..."
"Oh, my God," Susan said, suddenly awake, "I remember now! We were talking about Stan, and then, uh, NO! We didn't!"
"Yes, we did!"
"Ohhh, I think I'm gonna be sick..."she said while running into the bathroom.
Just then Abby walked through the door looking totally exhausted.
"Hey," I said as casually as I could, "Where you been?"
"Oh, God, guess what happened?"
"What?"
"Ok, first off, McDonalds was closed last night so I had to drive 15 miles to the nearest one. Then, my car won't start, so I take it o the Wal-Mart car place, and they say it will take them two hours to fix it. So I figured, screw it! I'll just go to the Holiday Inn," Abby said all this in about fifteen seconds, "So...where you and Susan ok last night without me?"
"Um," I said remembering last night, "We managed."
"Well, where is she, anyway?"
"Actually, she's throwing up."
"Oh, groovy."
"Ew," Susan said sickly, "I feel like shit."
"Awww..." Abby said sympathetically, "You want some Tylenol?"
"Ok"
I couldn't even bring myself to look at Susan. How could I be such and idiot? I love Abby so much. I am such an asshole. What is Abby going to say when she finds out? There is no way I cannot tell her, I haven't kept anything from her in almost 15 years. I have ruined my marriage and my relationship with my children. What will Kelsey and Emma say when they find out what a cheating son of a bitch father they have?
"Carter," Susan said, interrupting my thoughts.
"Ya?"
"Can we go somewhere and talk about this?"
"Susan, I think you should leave," I say without thinking.
I will never forget the look that Susan gave me that day. It was Anger, sadness, and confusion all wrapped up in one. How could I blame her when I didn't do anything to stop it? I expected her to argue, but she just walked out, never saying another word.
"Hey where'd Susan go?"
"Abby," I start to tell her of my affair.
"Dad!" Kelsey said interrupting," You're home!"
"Hi baby," I say with a frustrated look on my face, "I missed you kiddo!"
"Me too daddy." she said while giving me a kiss and a hug.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I feel so bad for what I said to Susan. I guess I was blaming her for this whole mess when it is my fault too. I guess I should call her while no one is in the house to interrupt.
"Hello?" she answers warmly.
"Hey, it's Carter." I say not sure what to expect.
"Oh," I could hear her tone sadden at the sound of my voice, "I thought you were never going to talk to me again."
"I am sorry Susan- for this morning and last night."
"No, it's my fault. I put the moves on you."
" I know, but I didn't stop it."
After saying this there was a long silence.
"Carter, I don't want to talk over the phone about this," she said sadly, "Are you working tomorrow?"
"Yes."
"Good, meet me at the coffee house on Lexington tomorrow so we can discuss this more, okay?"
"Okay."
"Bye."
"Bye."
