Chapter 3: The Lake House
Later that evening, Jim seen Melinda at the beverage table. Jim walked over there and got a beer. Melinda didn't bother to look up. "You don't seem like your enjoying this" Jim said. Melinda looked up at him "I'm not" she said. "Then why are you sitting back here avoiding everyone" Jim asked. "I'm not avoi......ok maybe I am" Melinda said, she could tell Jim knew what he was talking about. "Why" Jim asked as he sat down. "Because this whole thing is stupid. I never wanted anyone to know I was here. I just wanted to come her and spend sometime with my mom while Steve & I are on this break" Melinda said. Melinda didn't realize that she let her status on her marriage slip. "Break" Jim asked. "I'm sorry what" Melinda said, she tried to play dumb about her marriage now. "You said you & Steve are on a break" Jim said. Melinda laughed nervously. "I did" Melinda said. "Yeah" Jim said. "So what's going on" Jim asked. Jim didn't know why he wanted to know why they were on a break, he just really wanted to know. "Come on lets go in the house and I'll tell you I don't want people to hear it" Melinda said. Melinda got up and walked into the house, Jim followed her "And whatever I tell you, you do not repeat" Melinda said. "I won't" Jim said. Melinda & Jim both sat down at the table. "Nothing in my marriage is the same anymore. It's like Steve & I are very distant from one another. We barely talk and when were at home, we sort of stay out of each others way. He's never home half of the time because of work. The sex has even died down" Melinda said. "Wow that's bad" Jim said. "You don't think he........." Jim started to say. "No, I don't think he cheated. That's not like him. He wouldn't do that. He loves me. We just both lost our ways" Melinda said. "How long are you in town for" Jim asked. "2 weeks" Melinda said, she really didn't know how long she was staying. She could of been staying for more then 2 weeks but isn't sure yet. They were interuppted when Dan, Andrea, & Beth came in the house.
"Hey man you ready" Dan said as they walked into the kitchen. "Oh yeah sure" Jim said. "Melinda, you wanna go with us" Andrea asked. "Go where" Melinda asked. "We're all going to the lake house for the weekend" Dan said. "Yeah, it'll be just like old times" Jim said. "No, I better not. My mom might need my help cleaning up after" Melinda said, she had to make up an excuse not to go. Beth over heard what she said. "No I don't need no help. Go. Go have fun" Beth said. Melinda gave her mother a mean look. "See come on Mel" Jim said. "Sure" Melinda said. Melinda got up and went to pack some clothes.
"Who's going with who" Melinda asked Jim when she came out of her room. "I guess your going with me" Jim smiled briefly "Dan & Andrea already left" Jim said. "Oh. Your girlfriend isn't coming" Melinda asked. "No, she has to work she left earlier today" Jim said. "Oh" Melinda said, she suddenly became nervous when she found out that she would be only with Jim in the car for the whole ride up to the beach house. Jim went to take her bag and their hands met. Melinda really stared at Jim "Oh and uh we have to stop at the store on the way, I'm in charge of drinks" Jim said. "Ok" Melinda said. They both walked out to Jim's new car and got in. Jim stopped at the party store and picked up the drinks & liquor. Melinda bought plenty of food for the weekend. They both left the party store and drove off again. "So uh how long have you & Britney been together" Melinda asked. "About a month" Jim said. "Oh" Melinda said. "We met at my friends 21st birthday party last year but then we met again when a bunch of us went to Cedar Point last month" Jim said. "Oh that sounds fun. I always wanted to go there but never found the time" Melinda said. "It's amazing there. The rollercoasters are such a rush. It feels so free the minute you go down the huge drop of the coaster, nothing is on your mind, all your troubles are gone and everything. It's amazing" Jim said. Melinda stared at Jim as he drove "You sound like you have a lot troubles" Melinda said. "Yeah, I guess you can say that" Jim said. Melinda looked at Jim then looked out the window. They arrived at the lake house 20 minutes later "Wow, it's still beautiful out here and so peaceful" Melinda said as she got out of the car. "Yeah. I come out here sometimes, you know just to think" Jim said. Melinda smiled "That's why I came home. I have to get my head straight" Melinda said. Jim carried everything into the beach house. Melinda helped Jim carry in some bags "I guess Andrea & Dan are not here yet" Melinda said. "No I guess not" Jim said. Melinda put all the food and drinks away. Jim's cell phone started to go off. Jim answered it "Hello" Jim said. "Hey bro, we're going to be a little late. We'll be there sometime later tonight. Stuck in traffic" Dan said. "Ok bye" Jim said and hung up. "They'll be here later tonight. Stuck in traffic" Jim said. Melinda laughed nervously "Oh well........cool" Melinda said. She really didn't know what to say. "Wanna go for a boat ride" Jim asked. "Oh no. In case you haven't forgot, I have a fear of water.........deep deep deep water" Melinda said. "Come on. Don't worry, nothing is going to happen. I'll be right there" Jim said. "Uh ok fine" Melinda said. "Oh cool" Jim said. They both went to their separate rooms and changed into their swimming suits.
