"I Want To Meet Him "

Rain had started to pour and it was inevitable that the taxi Michael was in follow as closely as he could to Gigi's . Michael screeched out. "Don't lose them!Keep close!" He just had this feeling something wasn't right and he knew that following her would give him the answers he needed. Thirty minutes later, Gigi's taxi pulled into to a high class salon. The taxi driver looked back at Michael and told him they were there. Michael explained that they weren't done and he would pay him whatever amount that was needed to keep him for the entire night. Michael placed another five hundred dollars on the seat and leaned back looking out of the window. Three hours had passed and Giselle was leaving out of the salon walking to her taxi. Michael shook the driver's shoulder telling him the taxi was on the move and to follow closely. Over the course of the next two hours, Giselle had shopped for shoes, found another expensive tote and a few more dresses, and now she was finally home. The taxi she was in tooted it's horn ,as it stopped infront of her penthouse. The bellhop hurried out of the door gathering her bags following her inside. Michael squeezed the drivers shoulder and told him he would be getting out here. He tossed a few more hundred dollars bills over the seat and the driver told him thank you in a happy shaky voice as he scooped the money up. Michael stepped out of the taxi, pulled his peacoat closer and adjusted his fedora as he crossed the rainy street to the penthouse.....

"Darling I made it just in time. It's pouring down out there. How about we just stay in tonight? "Giselle flounced in her husband's lap.

"Sweet heart, I had such a magnificent evening planned for us. Are you certain you want to stay home?"Thomas asked.

"As sure as I love the lips on your face."She smiled ,closed her hands on both sides of his face and pecked his lips. "I can think of much more I can do to entertain you,besides its a goodie in that purple bag over there. "She told him looking in the direction of the bag with a colossal smile. "Go on."She motioned her head with a light smirk. "It won't bite."She pealed out of his lap and stood up. She watched him walk his handsome walk to the table. He picked the bag up and shook it. She threw her head back and giggled at him . Thomas chuckled sliding his hands in the bag pulling out a purple lacey teddy.

"Whoa. I see the game you're wanting to play."He grinned ,walked over to her encircling his arms around her. "You won't be disappointed about the Clairmont? "He asked furrowing his brows.

"I promise you darling ,I couldn't be more happier."She took her finger and slid it down the middle of his chest. "Give me an half an hour ,then follow the trail of Chanel ,until you find this little number on me."She puckered up and pressed her mouth to his. She then slipped out of his arms and took the rest of her packages up to their room...

Michael sat restless in the lobby on the leather chaise. He didn't see which way Giselle went and didn't want to alarm anyone by asking questions about the beautiful sexy woman that just walked in with a flood of bags and the poor skinny bell hop straggling along to keep up with her. Everytime the elevator would chime, he'd look up only to be disappointed. After about another hour of hoping for a sign of her,he walked to the pay phone, dialed her pager, put in the number he was calling from along with his code of fifty-nine.

Giselle rolled off the top of Thomas, he lay staring at the ceiling wheezing to get his breath back. She laid on her side and leaned her head on his chest placing small pecks along his sweaty skin. She caressed her long fingers down the middle of his chest. She smirked as she remembered seeing him in that bank six years ago. She worked as a tempt and she watched him from a far, as he deposited loads of cash and checks . She listened in as he and the veteran teller chit chatted about him finally settling down and winning the heart of some beautiful woman. He always laughed it off took his receipt and went on his way. Gigi's plan was set in motion after she Learned his routine. She called in to work one day saying she had car trouble, but really sat in the parking lot waiting for him to make his weekly deposit. She winced as he passed by her. She stood infront of her car with the hood up pouting.Thomas would only assume it was broken down and try to help. And that's exactly what he did and the rest is history. She smiled as she reminisced about the past. When she looked up,Thomas eyes were closed and he was snoring loudly. She got out of bed and slipped her pager from it's hiding place. Michael had paged her twice with a number she didn't recognize. She thought him to be out with his coworkers maybe. She left the bedroom and went down the hall to the guest bedroom. She stood out on the terrace and dialed his number....

"Michael is that you?"She asked. "Where are you?"She looked over the terrace where the cars looked like tiny ants moving about.

"It's me. I couldn't help,but to wonder if you were alright."He told her as he stood at the pay phone.

"I'm having my moments here and there, but your voice certainly puts a smile on my face."She whispered as she stood naked on the terrace.

"Your voice does the same for me,Gigi." He exclaimed. "I know we've talked about this before, but I want to see you. I hate when your sad and hurting you should let me help you get your children back."Michael winced.

"Michael you don't know my ex or how evil he is. In time I'll be reunited with them. Don't worry."She told him.

"Gigi, when you're in love worry is inevitable." He sighed.

"Michael ,I've never heard you sound so unhappy. You're incredibly adorable and so sweet to worry ,but I don't want you to get worked up over this. My children are happy ,I know they are. Thomas is simply being his usual self " she sighed.

"That's what I'm afraid of,Giselle. I think it's time...."He paused "I want to meet him. Eventually your children will be introduced to me."Michael sort questioned.

"Oh,I...Michael."She said nervously. "I should go, my neighbor is about to turn in for the night. I'll see you in a few days and we'll come to a resolution about all of this." She told him.

"Gigi,please don....."He sighed as a busy tone echoed in his ear...

A couple of days had past and Michael heard nothing from Gigi. He did take a trip or two back to the penthouse and sat across the street to see if she'd ever leave,which she didn't. On the third day of her hiatus, Michael took yet another trip to the penthouse. He sat out there for hours at a time and finally he saw something worth taking all of those trips for. Giselle was wrapped in a colorful cape. Her red lips just as luscious as the day they met. She was beautiful to him as he gazed from a far smiling. Two small children walked in front of her and a very tall dark skinned man walked ahead of all of them. He stood back as the driver opened the door for them and they all linked inside like fallen dominnos. Michael rubbed his eyes as if what he just witnessed wasn't happening at all .He could hear her laugh and when he inhaled deeply a simmer of Chanel grazed his nostrils. He got back in the taxi giving the driver instructions. He immediately made a u-turn in the street and followed the dark car that held Giselle and her family. An hour later they pulled up at Chicago O'Hares International airport.....

The taxi Michael was in pulled curbside behind the car that held Giselle. Michael waited and watched as they piled out of the car. Gigi smiled as she gazed the area and laughed at what her husband said. She leaned in wrapping her arms around him hugging him tightly. Michael continued to look as she kneeled down embracing two fair skin little children. A smile came across Michael's face until the little girl said "I love you mommy." Michael gasped as if he was out of breath as the little boy repeated the same and they both hugged her again then ran to the entrance doors and stood. She and Thomas stared at one another then linked hands. She smiled a devilish smirk, one that Michael had seen many times. One that aroused him when they were in the mood to make love. "Thomas" He heard her say as the two began walking. Nothing more was said then Thomas kissed her cheek and proceeded inside the glass doors. Gigi looked on and waved until they were inside. She walked back to the car and soon as she was inside it pulled away from the curb. Michael had waited long enough for Giselle's car to be out of sight. He told the driver to wait there it'll be worth his while. Then he opened the door and got out of the taxi and proceeded through the glass doors that Thomas had not long, entered...
