A Month of Miami, Not A Month Off

19: Aftermath (Part 1)

Sally was in the kitchen grabbing some junk food she could possibly find, minus the cheesecakes and Rob found her doing so.

" Sal, can we talk?" Rob asked.

" What is it, Rob?" Sally replied.

" Are you okay?" Rob asked her.

Sally dropped the food on the table.

" Yeah, I'm just a little upset. That's all," Sally told him.

" Well, I think you're more than just a little upset," Rob said.

Sally sighed.

" Wanna know the truth? I'm more than that! One shot I have possibly marrying a man from Miami and not from New York is gone! I got cheated on," Sally explained.

" Don't be so upset about it Sal! You told me this man was inconsiderate and now you're crying about him," Rob replied.

" He had good qualities too! He was friendly and he had a great sense of humor. He was also very handsome," Sally added.

" You look like you're going to cry! Do you wanna cry?" Rob asked and Sally nodded in response. She really didn't want to cry, but she couldn't hold it so she had no choice. Sally was never the type of woman to cry, especially in front of other people.

Rob embraced her with her head buried in his shoulder. Laura then came in the kitchen and noticed Rob hugging Sally.

" Rob, who's that you're hugging?" Laura asked.

Rob looked up and saw Laura.

" Oh, hi honey! I'm just comforting Sally. She's going through a heartbreak because someone cheated on her," Ron explained.

" You had to tell her that Rob!" Sally muttered.

" Well, I'm sorry to hear that. Now is probably not a good time," Laura said leaving the kitchen.

Sally then looked up.

" Rob, it's just terrible," Sally said trying to control her sobs.

" I know Sal, I know," Rob told her.

Rob and Sally let go of the hug.

" No, you don't know! You're a happily married man and I'm a miserable and lonely single woman," Sally replied.

" Sal, you're not alone! You have me and Buddy," Rob reminded her as the two started the hug again.

Buddy then came in the kitchen.

" What's with all the hugging? Rob, are you cheating on Laura?" Buddy asked.

Rob and Sally once again let go of the hug.

" Ha ha!" Sally replied sarcastically still controlling her sobs.

" What's wrong with Sally's face? It's red! Has she been crying?" Buddy asked.

" Yes, she has been crying and no, I am not cheating on Laura," Rob answered.

" Well Sal, you're a strong woman! Why are you crying? Buddy asked.

" I've been cheated on, Buddy!" Sally replied wiping her tears.

" Haven't you been through this before?" Buddy asked.

" Well, I'm usually the one that dumps the other. Tonight, it was the other way around," Sally explained.

Rob and Buddy nodded.

" Also, tell Mel and Alan I'm not going to work tomorrow. Tell them I'm sick again," she continued grabbing all the junk food she found and left the kitchen.
