Chapter 9 Waiter! Bring Me Water!

En Route to Florida - Private Jet

Isabella had rented a private jet to fly to Chris's Florida home. Technically, she wasn't supposed to interfere with Chris's visitation with Zak. However, desperate times called for desperate measures. She was stunned that he would take Mona Lisa to their house. They had shared a lot of good memories at the Florida home.

Jean had told her months ago that she was a fool for leaving Chris alone. Jean told her that some woman would pick Chris up and make him unavailable to Isabella.

The closer the flight got to Florida the more and madder she got. On that flight to Florida Isabella had thought a lot. She knew that she was still in love with Chris. They had only been apart a few days, but she missed Chris (it was similar to when she had realized that she was in love with him before) and she knew she had to have him. She wasn't mad at Mona Lisa for working with Chris. She was mad because Mona Lisa was the type of woman a girl couldn't trust around her man. She didn't want Mona Lisa to steal Chris away from her.

Miami, Florida

Isabella arrives at the airport and checks into a Miami hotel room. She's just in time to catch the latest tabloid TV news reports...

"This just in - Chris and Mona Lisa have been seen at Chris's Florida home. We have exclusive pictures of them swimming together. For Chris being 60, he sure looks good in a swimsuit! Mona Lisa looks like she'd like to eat him up. You can see pictures of Mona Lisa and Chris hand-in-hand going back to the house.

It sure looks like he's traded Isabella in for Mona Lisa. Word is that the two plan to work on an album together. We hear that they both want the number one selling movie of all time. With their track records, they should be able to get it.

They've also been spotted at Miami's hottest nightclubs - the Material Girl is showing off her mega-producer! Reports are that they look nice and cozy with each other.

We tried to contact Isabella Twain's PR people to ask about Chris's budding relationship with Mona Lisa, but they said that Isabella was unavailable for comment"

Isabella couldn't believe it - Chris was swimming without his t-shirt on. He never did that - he was very easy to burn. Isabella was getting more and madder all the time. Isabella's cell phone rings - it's Zak.

"Hi, Mom. What's up?" Zak asks her.

"Nothing. Just sitting in my bedroom. What you have and your dad been up to?" Isabella asks him.

"Don't you mean what have dad and Mona Lisa been up to?" Zak asks her.

"No", Isabella says.

"We're having fun. I really like Mona Lisa and her kids. She's a real blast to be around. Dad likes her, too. She makes him smile and laugh. That's the first time that I've seen him do that since you left him", Zak says.

"I'm glad that you guys are having fun. Do you miss me?" Isabella asks.

"Of course, I miss you. I wish you were here. I don't think that Dad misses you, though. He hasn't mentioned your name at all. He and Mona Lisa make a cute couple, don't you think?" Zak asks her.

"Stop it, Zak! I know that you're mad at me, but you don't have to keep rubbing it in my nose", Isabella says.

"If Dad knew, he'd be upset. I'm sorry. Gotta go - we're all going out for a family dinner", Zak says as he hangs up on her.

Isabella is hurt. Zak always takes his dad's side. Of course, Zak was so much like his dad that he was almost a carbon copy. There were times that she wondered if her DNA was in her son. However, in this situation she was in the wrong and his dad was right. She hopes that their second child will be more in agreement with her.

Chris's Florida Home - Next Day

Isabella had rented a car and drove to Chris's house. She knocks on the door and Chris answers the door.

"What are you doing here?" Chris asks her.

"To save you from making a huge mistake. If you want a stranger, there's one coming home. I know what I did was wrong. I'll never leave you again and I'll never hurt you like I did", Isabella says.

"So, will you give me a second chance? I've finally learned my lesson. I'm tired of being all alone and without you - you're my soul mate. I've realized that you're all I've ever wanted and it's killing me to be far away from you", Isabella says.

"Do I need to get down on my knees and tell you that I'm yours forever? Are you going to tell me that we can start again? Or are you going to tell me that you've found somebody new and that I'll never break your heart in two again?", Isabella asks.
