Chapter 5: Hey La, Hey La, My Ex Boyfriend's Back
Will was sitting at a bar nursing a drink in his hands. Sure what Grace said made him feel a little better, but he still felt bad. He missed Michael. Just when he thought he was getting over him, he comes back. He jumped when he heard a high pitched voice in the entryway.
"You owe me Stanley. I don't want to be here. I hate these people."
"Kare, please try to be nice…or at least don't get anyone fired. If I get this deal I can make us billionaires." Stanley reasoned with his wife.
"Oh honey" Karen gave him a kiss.
"Let's get upstairs." He said holding her hand
Karen was about to follow him when she saw Will looking at them. "I'll be up in a minute, honey. I'm gonna say hi to Wilma over there."
"Ok, don't run away."
Karen walked over to Will. Before she said anything she ordered a drink. "You know, it isn't very polite to stare at people." She finally said sitting down.
"Sorry, I just wasn't expecting to see you. So your banks growing in wealth…and size." Will joked.
"Yeah, the holidays have been good." Karen said sipping her martini. "What are you doing her honey? Where's you new old boy toy?"
"He has a new boyfriend." Will said simply
"Oh that's right. Did you tell him about your new bow?"
"Karen, I don't have one."
"I know, but you should have told him that."
"When, before or after I told him I still have feeling for him?"
"Oh honey no…why did you do that?" Karen said like he was crazy.
"I guess I still do have feelings for him." He said sadly
"Well of course you do. You were with him forever. But honey, he's just familiar."
"What do you mean?"
"You were with him…"
"7 years" Will filled in
"You were with him for 7 years and you haven't had a relationship since then that last more than 7 days. Obviously you want that back, not him."
"Why does he get to have a new guy and I don't? What's wrong with me?"
"There's nothing wrong with you except that you are married to Grace."
"Karen, we're not married."
"You live together, you play together, you finish each others sentences, and you completely rely on each other for everything. You will never be happy if you can't separate your wife from your boyfriend."
"That is…we don't…me…she…we don't live together anymore." Will tried to defend himself
"Honey, Stan's closet is further away than Grace is from you."
"So what am I supposed to do? Just get up a kick Grace out of me life."
Karen was about to answer when Stan came up behind them. "Kare, can you hurry up. I need to show off that necklace I gave you. The Wallaces are here and Gary is saying he spends more on his wife. Hey Will." Stan said finally seeing Will.
"Who are they again?" Karen asked confused
"Umm…oh, the one who wore last seasons dress style at the Philips party."
"Oh, I remember. Will, I got to go. Just remember, you have been dating guys who are exactly like him, try something new." She paused. "Don't kick Grace out, but you both need to grow up." With that she followed Stan to the elevator.
Will smiled. The devil just helped him…again.
