Torn
Maureen and Joanne were going strong, despite the flirting, the work arguments they were engaged. It was the night before the engagement when a knock came at the door.
"I got it pookie." Maureen said, getting up from her position on the couch, heading over to the door. She answered only to see Benny. She sighed feeling her hear drop. "What?" She asked, curiously, biting at her bottom lip.
"I need to talk to you." Benny said, pulling Maureen out the door. "She'll be right back." He stated, looking at Joanne before closing the door.
Joanne looked at the two strange, wondering what was up but figured it was best to give them at least a few minutes.
"What do you need to talk to me about, Benjamin?" The drama queen asked, folding her arms over her chest as she looked at him.
"It's over with Alison and me. We're getting a divorce. I'm back in the area." He said, smiling at her.
"Um, wow. That's really great." She said, putting on a somewhat fake smile. "Why are you telling me?" She asked.
"I was hoping we could work things out between us." He replied, wrapping his arms around Maureen's waist, pulling her close.
The drama queen looked at him as if he was joking. "Benny, I'm engaged. I have a ceremony tomorrow." She stated, pulling away from him only to be pulled back.
"No. I let us go once. I'm not going to anymore. I love you, Maureen." He stated, holding the diva close to him.
Sighing, she shook her head and attempted to pull away. "Just leave me alone." She whispered, reaching for the door.
Rolling his eyes, he pulled Maureen to him and kissed her hard on the lips before pressing her against the wall feeling the diva return the kiss. That was of course when the door opened and a gasp was heard.
"Get off me, Benny and leave." Maureen said, feeling hurt that he would do this to her. She took Joanne's hand and led her inside, shutting and locking the door. "Pookie, I'm so sorry you saw that." She said, looking at the lawyer who was clearly hurt.
"You're mother's on the phone." Joanne said, handing the phone to the diva before going into the bedroom.
Taking the phone, she looked after Joanne knowing everything was ruined and boy was she correct seeing as how at their engagement the next day, all she could think about was Benny and the fact that he was single. She loved Joanne but was torn in half unsure who to give her heart to. She just let things happen and before she knew it, she was single.
