"Hey, sorry I was gone so long, I ran into a good friend of mine." Nick said once he had returned to the table.
"When I was coming back to the table I saw you talking to a guy, who was that?" Nick asked, he was just curious, not jealous or suspicious at all.
First of all he trusted Jackie, and second, if she ever was going to have an affair she certainly wouldn't do it when Nick was with her.
"Oh that was Todd Black, he's a fifth grade teacher at my school. I had to give him the bad news that we have a staff meeting on Monday." She said with a grin.
Nick laughed.
"So who did you run into?" she asked.
"Mitch Keith, we went to high school together." He answered.
"You run into everyone in Vegas don't you?" Jackie asked with a laugh.
"Yeah" he chuckled.
The next night at work before their shift started Catherine called Nick into her office.
"What's up?" He asked as he sat down across from her.
"Nicky, I'm not sure how to tell you this." She started.
"Everything ok?" Nick asked.
"No." she answered.
"What's wrong Cath?" He asked.
Catherine took a deep breath "Nicky, last night, I went out to dinner and I saw Jackie. Nicky she was with some guy, I'm so sorry."
Nick thought about it for a second and then a smile crossed his lips.
"Ok, that's not exactly the reaction I'd thought you have." Catherine said confused.
"Cath, Jackie and I went out to dinner together last night." He said.
"No Nicky, it wasn't you, he was blonde, trust me, it wasn't you."
"No I mean you probably did see her with another guy." He said.
"I'm really confused." Catherine admitted.
"Last night when Jackie and I were at dinner I ran to the bathroom, and then I ran into a good friend of mine and I talked to him for a bit. Well, when I was gone Jackie ran into a guy she works with, he just sat down to talk to her for a bit, she wasn't out with him. She told me they were discussing the depressing topic of staff meetings"
Catherine laughed and then smiled with relief.
"Listen I'm sorry, I totally jumped to conclusions, and I probably shouldn't have said anything to you, it's just that I am really sensitive about people cheating on each other because it's happened to me more than once and I always seem to be in the dark about it, and it's the worst feeling. I'm sorry, I hope you can forgive me."
"It's no problem, you were just looking out for me like usual." He assured her.
There was a knock on Catherine's door.
Cath looked up.
"Assignment time guys." Russell said.
"Ok, be right there boss." Nick said.
Russell nodded and then walked down the hallway.
Catherine and Nick walked down to the break room together to receive their assignments for the night.
The End! I hope you liked it! Review!
