Broken Hearts Can Heal

If you are afraid of women acting like bitches when their hubbies cheat on them be warned. I do not own anything. T T

Ch.3 Bitchiness Mixed With Comfort

Lillia just couldn't believe that Rod could-was doing this to her. But the wedding ring was proof enough that this was actually happening. Did he have so little regard toward her that he could write her off like that? The moments they spent together did he just forget them instantly? Lillia's brain was going to explode because of all these questions.

Knock Knock. Some one was knocking at the door. It couldn't have been the kids because they were all hanging out with their friends.

"Lillia, open up it's Zack. I have a delivery for you." Zack was the brawny black man who lived in the house at Mineral Beach. He was always so kind to her and talked to her often. She always wondered how come he wasn't married. He was handsome enough. Zack had explained to her that he was waiting for some one in town but never told her who. He was kind, funny and interesting and any woman would be lucky to have him concluded Lillia.

Lillia got up and checked herself in the mirror. It looked like a tornado blew up in her face. Her eyes were bloody red and her hair was all over the place. She fixed her appearance as best as she could then walked downstairs. She opened the door to find a grinning Zack.

"Good morning Lillia, I brought you your groceries."

"Thank-you Zack." A sniffle managed to escaped from my nose.

"What's wrong?" He touched a loose strand of my hair and put it behind my ear.

"Have you been crying?"

"I just allergies, that's all." I put on a fake smile, but he saw right through it.

"You're not allergic to anything. So tell me what's wrong."

"Look, I'm just not in a good mood right now. So can you get out of my face!" I shouted a little too loudly.

"You can tell me we're friends. Let's talk about it to make you feel better." He walked right in and sat down like he owned the place.

" Get the hell out and leave the damn groceries!" He got up and started walking toward me. Then he grabbed my shoulders.

"Lillia why are you acting like this? Is this about Rod, did something happen to him?"

That's when I snapped. I broke away from Zack's grasp and started hitting him.

How dare he breathe that name in front of me!

He grabbed hold of my hands so I couldn't hit him.

"Lillia, did Rod" I interrupted him.

"R-Rod he" I collapsed and next thing I know everything went dark.

XXXX Mineral Clinic XXXX

I felt some one shaking me gently. "Lillia, wake up." I opened my eyes. Doctor was staring at me. I looked around and realized I was at the Clinic.

"Doctor what happened?" I said in a raspy voice.

"Lillia, you fainted from your illness and Zack carried you all the way here." He told me.

Zack had just entered the room.

"Doc. May I speak to Lillia?"

"Why certainly." Zack gave him a you-have-to-leave-so-I-can-talk-privetly-with-Lillia look.

"Can I speak to her alone?"

"Oh, I see." He got up and left the two alone.

"What were you trying to tell me before?"

Tears were falling from her face as she explained to Zack about Rod's letter. She explained how he loved another woman, he didn't love her anymore and how he didn't mind if she hated him but didn't want her to tell the kids. After saying everything that could be said, Lillia felt a need to be held by Zack.

After a few minutes of being comforted by Zack she felt the need to say something.

"Thank-you for being there for me when I really needed you. I really appreciate it."

"No problem. Just glad I could help."

"Thanks for being such a good friend. Well I should go home." I got up from the bed when all of a sudden Zack grabbed my hand.

"Lillia, don't go."

"What?"

"Lillia, I n-need you. I've loved you for so long. At first it was a crush but now it's so much more. . I love you. I love how you snort whenever you laugh or whenever you smile sincerely, your nose wrinkles. Lillia I love you with all my heart and I know I will never betray you like he did." All this information was so much to deal with that she was in her own universe.

When she came back to reality she felt something sweet on her lips. Zack was kissing her passionately!

It had been a while since some one kissed her like that. It felt so good. She couldn't help but to respond to the kiss.

Unknown to Zack and Lillia there was an uninvited visitors watching them display affection toward each other. It was none other than Jeff the owner of Mineral Town's Supermarket. He was here for his daily check up and received a very unexpected surprise.

XXXX To Be Continued XXXX

Wow, that was very unexpected that this chapter ended up in a cliffy. I received 75 hits from this story, Thank-Q(ham chat). You all are probably wondering why not Elli or Doctor to walk in on Lillia and Zack swapping spit. I'll explain this. Elli and Doctor are not the kinds of people to gossip so it didn't seem right. And I really didn't want to put Doc and Elli in an embarrassing situation where they are thinking hm, maybe we should kiss? Anyways, the reason I did Jeff was b/c he's married to Sasha and will tell her this news. o Shock. So Sasha will tell her gal pals and they will confront Lillia. And that my friends is where conflict begins. I liked making Lillia a bitch that was really fun. I remember this episode of Will and Grace when Grace is really pissed that Leo cheated on her so she's super pissed and bitchy. That's why I got my bitch scene from. I wanted Lillia to throw stuff like Grace did(cellphones) but that would of went over the edge. Sorry this is soooooo long! Review and tell me what you liked.

P.S. If I made Zack admitting his feeling too sappy please tell me.
