Chapter Six: Mistake of Her Life

Holly opened her eyes and looked around. She was lying in a bed but she didn't recognize it. This was not her room in her house in New York. She was feeling disoriented. Behind her she felt someone stir. Holly stiffed unsure who was lying next to her.

"John?" she whispered

A deep chuckle sounded from the other side of the bed. "That's wasn't what you were calling me last night."

Holly eyes widen and the past twenty four hours came rushing back to her full force. Holly turned over and looked at her companion. Hans was lying right next to her. There was no denying it she had cheated back on her husband. The consequences of her action started to sink in little by little.

She sat up and wrapped the sheet to cover herself and looked down at the man next to her. Hans looked up at her and raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong with you?" he asked.

Holly didn't say anything just dropped her head and looked at the bed sheets. Hans sat up and raised Holly chin to look into her eyes.

"Don't tell me you having regrets; remember your husband cheated on you first."

Holly moved Hans' hand away and set it down on the bed. She pulled the covers around herself more tightly and turned away from him. Hans leaned over her and said.

"Why are you acting like this? We had such a good time last night Holly" Hans whispered.

Holly closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "I really did have a great time last night. Nothing against you but yes I do feel somewhat guilty."

"I don't see why. He cheated on you and then you cheated on him there you fixed it."

Holly rolled around and faced him again. "Two wrongs don't make it right."

Hans smiled. "You weren't worried before."

Holly frowned and moved closer to him so she was right in his face. "Would you cheat on your wife?"

"I'm not married."

"If you were?" Holly clarified.

"I don't know I can't say."

Holly laid her head back in the pillow. She really shouldn't have slept with another man but it had felt so good. The phone rung making Holly jumped and almost fall off the bed. Hans picked it up the phone but Holly snatched it out of his hand.

"Hello."

"Holly I want to talk to you" John McClain's voice sounded over the phone.

"Fine, cheater" she said harshly.

"Look I didn't cheat on you, you misunderstood. Jenna was over by the house because we were working on a case together. How could you think that low of me? We may be having problems the last few months but I would never do that, I love you Holly."

Tears were streaming down her face. What had she done? "Can we talk when I get home later on tonight?" Holly choked out.

"Yeah" he answered.

Holly hung up the phone and buried her face in her hands. Hans watched her, he didn't know what was said but he was confident that it had been her husband.

"You know you don't have to tell him."

Holly looked at him through teary eyes. "Please leave" she whispered.

Hans pushed the covers aside and slid out of the bed. He picked up his clothes on the floor and began putting them on. While he was dressing he watched her. She didn't look at him but she knew he was staring. When he was done and opened the hotel room door.

"It was nice knowing you" Hans said and he shut the door behind him.

Holly looked up at the closed door Hans had just exit. She lay back in the bed and pulled the covers around her and closed her eyes. From the sound of it John hadn't cheated on her but she had defiantly cheated on him. What had she been thinking? She had jumped to conclusion way to early because she was already upset with him and now she had broken his trust.

Holly and Alison were walking through the airport terminal heading outside to the city of New York. Holly stood on the sidewalk looking around for a cab. She looked to her right and saw John standing there in front of the car. He walked over to her and pulled her into his arms. She buried her head in his chest. She knew then she would not tell him what she had done. They would go on as if nothing happened; but unknown to either of them at the time the matter would resurface again and soon.

Wow she's not even going to tell him that she was a bad girl. There will be a sequel so look for it soon. Trust me when I say the drama is only beginning. See you soon.
