Chapter 55: Lauryn
Janet told me all about Darren resigning. I just wish I had heard it from him first. What happened? I know that he was on the front page of the newspaper and somehow Jaiden set it up, but why did he have to leave?
Struggling through the rest of the day, I wait till it's time to go home. Looking at the clock, I see that it's 2 minutes to 5 and I start packing up my things. I hear a knock at the door and thinking it's Darren, rush over to it. Unfortunately, it's Jake with a big shitty ass grin on his face.
"So, do you need a ride home? I assume you heard the news." Staring at me, he sits down in the chair by my desk. Patting my chair and motioning for me to sit down, I walk over to it and take a seat.
Sighing, I listen as he tells me all about it. "Lauryn, I can't believe he did this to you. He has made your relationship a scandal, even though it's not true. How could he drag you into th

On Thursday morning, we wake up as usual with two exceptions. Instead of driving to work, Lauryn does and I watch Miah. Now the only time we need the babysitter is when we want to be alone, at least until I find another corporate position. I hear the phone ring, taking it out of my pocket I see that it's from Mr. Reynolds. "It's all taken care of. You are officially the sole parents of Miah and you will never hear from Jaiden again. Apparently they found her body hanging from the jail cell. I was told that she supposedly hung herself with her bed sheet." Standing up and pacing, I ask, "Did you file a lawsuit with the Chronicle?" "Yes and as soon as I did, their lawyers offered up a settlement. Will you take a formal apology on the front page of the newspaper and twenty million dollars for compensation? I told them I would have to talk it over with you, but figured the sum was too low considering you lost a multi

"Hey Baby, where's my tux? The rehearsal is in an hour? I have looked all over and can't find it."Smiling, I answer. "Don't you remember? It's in the back of the car already, along with my wedding gown and Miah's dress.It's Saturday, the morning of the wedding and everything has fallen in place. Ben and Kathy talked to the Minister and made sure that it is all absolutely perfect. Samantha and Chris are in town, staying at the hotel. They are going to meet us at the rehearsal and Darren's mom Elizabeth and his sister Shana are already in town too, staying next door to Samantha and Chris.Yes, I feel bad for them, because I know damn well that Samantha and Chris made a lot of noise all night. She really wanted to have a double wedding with us, but Darren was firm on the fact that he wanted all eyes on me only today. Excited, I'm practically jumping out of my skin.I am sure glad that we did

"Daddy, daddy, look!" We both turn to look at what Daniel and Daniella are yelling about. Miah sitting on the sand turns around and watches as the twins run around with a crab. It has been three years and the kids have gotten so big. The twins are 2 and Miah is 5. Being such a big sister, she always watches out for them and helps with everything. Samantha and Chris got married three months after we did and have a beautiful little girl Christina. Ironically, she looks just like Darren. Janet and Casper ended up getting engaged, but Janet got bored with him soon after and moved on. Theresa quit when she found out Jake was screwing the secretary on the fourth floor, shortly after Darren came back to work. Then one night almost a year ago, Jake was driving in a storm, when he took a corner too fast in his Maserati and ended up slamming into a semi going 150. He had to have a close

I wake up in the early hours of the morning to hear a knock at the door. Actually, it's more like someone pounding on my door. The first thing I think of is that I'm about to be killed. Isn't this exactly like all those horror films start out?Getting out of bed, I notice the chill in the air and when I glance out the window, I see that the mist is still clinging to the backyard."Brrr." I shiver and struggle to find my slippers, before making my way to the front door.After retrieving them, I throw on my bathrobe and double check in the mirror to make sure that I'm respectable looking. When I look at myself, I almost wish that I hadn't. My blonde hair is all tangled and my usually blue eyes, are now tinged with red. The robe hides my curvy figure that so many men lust over here in Cold Springs. I do it intentionally, I'm very self-conscious about my breasts and hips that are too big.Shaking my he

Now that I'm back in the city, I realize that I should have got her name. Oh well, she is just a number in the scheme of things and I probably will never see her again anyways. There is just one thing bothering me about that woman. When we touched, I felt electricity course through my veins. Honestly, that is something I have never felt before with anyone. Matter of fact, I need to get her out of my system and one of the secretaries downstairs wants to meet me for a drink tonight. I intend to make her bow down to me and pray. After I get done with her, she won't remember ever being with another man. Who knows, maybe she will worship me. I let out a hearty laugh at that thought. The tow truck driver lets me off at the door and I give him a smile, "Hey, thanks man. Hope you have a good rest of your day." I turn around and I'm met by Celeste, who seems to be in a not so good mood.

I wake up refreshed and can't help but wonder if it was all a dream. Getting out of bed, I slip on my slippers and let Fluffy in. I noticed this morning that she wasn't in bed with me and figured that she must have gone out when the stranger was here. She doesn't like strangers, especially strange men.The Humane Society had informed me that she had been abused by her previous owners and the man was particularly cruel to her. Often hitting and kicking her whenever she got in the way. Fluffy my 8 year old Samoyed, is my best friend in the world. Sure, I have human friends, but she could never be replaced.Getting me through the roughest time in my life when my parents died two years ago, she was always there right by my side. My friend Samantha tried to help, but there is something to say for an animal who has empathy. When she passes away, I don't know how I will be able to deal with it. Hope

I wake up and realize that I didn't hear the alarm go off. "Fuck!" It's 7:15 and I have to be to work in 45 minutes. Usually I wake up at 6 and go to the gym first, take a shower and eat breakfast before going in. This morning though will screw up everything. No gym and no breakfast.Not having a choice, I have to skip the gym. Taking a shower is the number one priority, considering I smell like sex after last night. I guess I didn't realize just how tired I was. That is a mistake I can't afford this morning. My meeting with the owner is of the utmost importance.He is trying to decide if we downsize or expand the company. Depending on the numbers in my report, it could mean a big payout for me. Hoping that he decides on expansion, I prepare for the day with a shower and a donut from last night. When I grab the donut out of the brown paper bag, I notice the note discarded on

After taking a brief shower, I throw on a pair of jeans and a comfortable sweater before rejoining Samantha. Walking out, I over hear her on the phone, "Yes, that is perfect. We will be there in about two hours."I waltz out and sit down on the couch next to her, "What was that all about?""I just set up our weekend getaway. Today and tomorrow we are going to party hardy in New York City, so go pack a bag and I will meet you back here in about a half an hour. Make sure you bring a swim suit and the hottest outfit you have for the night clubs. Speaking of that, I need to run and grab a couple things from my place. Love ya." She gets up and lets herself out.What did I just get into?
