Lonely Housewife Succumbs: 45

As I was driving to the restaurant I started to mist up. As much as I knew I had to end this, I also knew in my heart of hearts that I didn't want this to end. I love the person Scottie helped me become in just the short two months we spent with each

other.

As I pulled up to the valet I saw Scottie standing waiting for me. I immediately felt a pang in the pit of my stomach. I got out of the car and he waived saying, "Hello gorgeous."

Damn him. Why does he always know how to get me going. I smiled and said, "Hello Scottie. I hope you weren't waiting long."

He took my hand and walked us in saying, "Andie I'm so glad to see you." I winced inside. We got to our table and started with small talk until the waiter had come by to take our drink orders.

I said to Scottie, "Do you mind if we order our food as well? I have to be back at the house by 3:00." Scottie as I suspected wouldn't care so we placed our order and waited for the waiter to leave.

Scottie took my hand, as he always does, and gently caressed it and asked, "So Andie how are things at home?" I must have made a face, because before I could respond he said, "Oh boy. That bad huh?"

"Well things have settled down from Saturday but needless to say we still have a lot to work through, which is the reason why I needed to talk to you."

I saw a slight flicker of fear in his eyes as he probably sensed this was not going to go as he expected. I continued, "Ginny is still very upset with me. There are a number of reasons why she is but I think the main reason is due to our relationship."

Scottie interrupted, "Andie, doesn't she see how happy you've been. Surely she wants you to be happy after all these years of loneliness."

I squeezed his hand and said, "I have been happy. You've also made me grow as a person. But I said early on that I could not hurt Ginny. We had to be careful. We weren't and now we find ourselves in this position." Scottie asked with a hint of trepidation, "What position do we find ourselves in Andie? I don't understand."
