Happily Ever After Does Exist

Chapter 19

Another week and a half past, everything back at FOX went back to business, like the incident never happened. Everything was going well with Michelle and Seth as they moved past the incident as well. It was a late night as Michelle waited for Seth to come home from work. He finally did close to midnight. He walked in the door and moved quickly to the living room. He found Michelle sitting on the couch, watching tv. He moved over to the couch and sat down next to her. She looked over at him and can tell he was beat. She asked, “So long day, huh?”

“Yeah.” He exhaled in exhaustion.

She just looked at him with a sweet smile. Then she said, “I know you are tired but I need to talk to you about something.”

He said, sarcastically, “Well, whatever it is, I didn’t do it.”

She just smiled and said, “Come on, Seth. This is important.”

He looked over at her and sat up. “What is on your mind, beautiful?”

“Well,” She began, “The boys will be home in a week.”

“Yeah?” He asked

“And I think you should met them, I mean, if you want to, that is.”

Seth was a little taken back but instantly said, “I would love to.”

Her smile grew. “They’ll love you.” She said as she moved into his chest.

He put an arm around her shoulder. He said, “Of course, they will. Kids love me.”

She rolled her eyes and said, jokingly, “Always so full of yourself, huh?”

He just smiled at her then grabbed her legs and pulled her out across the couch. She shrieked and he moved his body over hers. He then said with his eyebrow hitched, “You know, you could be full of me.”

She busted out laughing. “That was so bad!”

“But it made you laugh.” He said with a smile.

He then moved in and kissed her, intensely. He pulled back and she asked, “Thought you were tired.”

“For you, I think I can muster some energy.” He said, seductively.

The next day, Michelle went to the studio to work on her new album. She liked it for the simple fact the days didn’t go so slow. She got done and headed to Seth’s. She knew Seth would not be home. She walked into the home and into the kitchen. She paced a moment, knowing she needed to do something important, but had no clue how. She finally pulled out her phone as she exhaled. She quickly dialed out a number and put the phone to her ears. She fidgeted as she waiting for the other person on the other end to answer. A woman answered, “Hey, Michelle. This is unexpected, the kids are suppose to skype with you in a half an hour.”

“I know, Starla,” She said to her mother in law. “But I needed to talk to you about something before I did.”

“What’s that, hunny.” She asked.

Michelle sighed and then closed her eyes. She found the words to be difficult. “I…” Her heart began to pound. “I have…”

“Spit it out, Michelle!”

“I have been seeing someone.” She felt so guilty, she felt like she was betraying her in some way.

Quickly, Starla replied, “Oh, is that all, sweetie. The way you were going I thought you were going to give me some bad news.”
