A/N: Hey guys! I know it's been awhile since I updated any of my GG stories. I kind of hit a roadblock with them. So, here's what's going on. Okay, so I've been homeschooling my daughter this year…well yesterday she decided that she doesn't want to do any of her schoolwork. Well, I hit my breaking point. It's been building for a while. So next week I'm going and enrolling her in public school. On top of that, I found out that I'm getting re-enrolled for school. I'm due to start in February as long as everything goes according to plan. So my plan is to get as much written between now and then as possible. Anywho, here's chapter 26. FYI did you guys know that this is my longest story! Yay!
Chapter 26 - Rory POV
It was the weekend of mine and Tris' anniversary. Tris had told me to be ready to go by 5. He said not to worry about packing that he'd taken care of it. I guess that whatever we were doing he wanted it to be a surprise. I had to admit, I was excited. Steph was picking Savannah up from school, so I didn't have to worry about that, and I had taken the day off from work so that I could go to the salon and get my nails done.
I was in the middle of my pedicure when my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Steph. "Hey girly." I said when I answered.
"Hey what ya doing?" She asked me.
"In the middle of a pedicure." I said.
"Ooh fun. Any idea where Tristan's taking you this weekend?" She asked.
"Nope. Not a clue. He won't even give me a hint." I told her.
"It must be nice. The last time Colin did anything romantic like that was when we celebrated our one-year anniversary." Steph said.
"Wow. Yeah well, I may have put my foot down this year and told Tris that I wanted to do something for our anniversary."
"Way to crack the whip."
"Yeah I know."
"Anyway, so the reason for my call… Finn called. He's got an announcement. Wants to know when we can all get together for dinner." Steph said.
"How about next weekend? That'll give me and Tris time to get back from our trip and I can get through the majority of piles of work I'm sure that will be on my desk when I get back." I said.
"Sounds like a plan. We'll do lunch when you get back and you can tell me everything." She said.
"Sounds good. Crystal is gonna come by Sunday night and pick up Savannah." I said.
"Cool. I gotta run." She said and hung up.
After getting my nails done, I headed over to the deli that Tris and I liked so much and picked him up something for lunch and then headed over to his office. When I walked into his office, I was surprised at who was sitting across from him. He looked up at me. "Hi honey. This is a surprise." He said.
"Yeah. I thought I'd bring you lunch." And then she turned around. "Bobbie." I said.
"Hi Rory." Bobbie said.
I walked over to Tris' desk and sat his lunch down. "What're you doing here?" I asked her.
"The firm that I work for is doing an advertising bid for this firm." She said.
I nodded. I leaned closer to her. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Tris' eyes widen. "I assume that I don't need to tell you to keep this desk between you and my husband." I quietly said to her.
"Of course not. That's not why I'm here. It will not be like last time." She said.
"Good." I said, standing back up.
She looked at Tristan. "I'll see you next week." She said, standing up and walking out of the office.
I turned to Tris and glared at him. "I didn't know that you knew Bobbie." He said to me.
"Yeah well, I do." I said. I ran my hand over my face. I let out the breath that I didn't realize that I was holding. "She was Logan's mistress."
"Shit." Tris said, standing up and walking around his desk. He wrapped his arms around my waist. "Babe, I had no idea. I'm sorry. I can ask them to have her work with someone else if you want."
"Babe, I trust you. Just…be careful when it comes to her, okay?" I said and he nodded.
The rest of the afternoon, I spent trying to relax and get Bobbie out of my head. I didn't like the fact that she was around but there really wasn't anything that I could do about it. Even though Tris offered to request that she work with someone else, I knew that I couldn't ask that of him…it was a small temporary part of his job. Maybe she would do her job and then leave again. At least I was able to warn Tris about her.
When Tris got home that evening, I was sitting on the couch with a glass of wine. He picked up the almost empty bottle off the coffee table and looked at it. "Starting early?" He asked me.
"Yeah well, Bobbie does that to me. I couldn't get her being in town out of my head… no matter how hard I tried." I said.
"It's okay baby. Come on… we have a plane to catch." He said, pulling me off the couch.
Where ever we were going, we were taking my family's jet. I slept through most of the flight, sleeping off the entire bottle of wine that I'd drank earlier. When the plane landed, I looked at Tris. "Ready to find out where we are?" He asked and I nodded. He stood up and held his hand out.
When we stepped off the plane, I looked around and all I saw was snow. "Tris, where are we?"
"We're in Alaska… we're gonna watch the Aurora Borealis." He said.
This was gonna be perfect.
