"Hey hon, its me." It was Cathy, who seemed like she was out of breath. "I just wanted to call and tell you that I am going out again with Linda -- shopping with Linda after work and then we are going to get a bite to eat at the restaurant, so don't wait up for me."
"Why on earth will you be home late if you're only getting a bite to eat?" I said, getting annoyed with her secrecy.
"Well I'll probably be going to her house and hang out with her a little."
"How about you and Linda just come to our house and we can hang out here?"
"Because Linda wants to tell me about something and she doesn't want to talk about it in front of you because she will get embarrassed about it. Well I gotta go now."
We said our goodbyes and hung up. I decided to star sixty nine the call to see where it came from because it didn't sound like the office at all; there were too many voices and she only worked with three people in a small business. A man picked up, "Vinnie's Restaurant, how may I help you?"
I slammed the phone down hard knowing that she lied to me about where she was. I went to my boss and told him that I had a family emergency and that I had to get home. My boss is a nice guy, and the day was slow, so he let me go home early. I raced my car to the restaurant and parked where no one in the restaurant could see me. I saw her vehicle in the parking lot and knew she was here. I wonder to myself if I should wait, or if I should go in and confront her, or something else. |
