A Dying Wish

Chapter Fourteen: Affair

Those who fall in love with practice without science are like a sailor who enters a ship without a helm or compass, and who never can be certain whither he is going.

The two women held their eyes closed as they felt the smooth texture. They were enjoying the feel of the surface along with the handsome man who was helping them decide.

"Now feel the mahogany," Jack requested as he brought the two women's hands towards the soft surface. They paid their compliments. Stating how smooth and gentle the frame was as Jack continued to lead them to the fine surface.

A ring of a phone interrupted Jack train of thought with the young female customer.

"Oh, okay, we'll be right here," stated one of the women who brushed her hair behind her ear.

"This is Jack, how can I help you?" Jack questioned as he lent against the counter.

"Well, I could think of a lot of ways, but I'm at work,"It was Katie's passionate voice that had a tone of humour.

"Hey, I was just about to call you," Jack lied. He had in fact forgotten about Katie. It had been a very hectic month, so hectic that Jack had no thoughts for a stunning girl like Katie Current.

"Don't tell me you need a divorce attorney already," Katie jested towards Jack. Katie was a lawyer, specifically a divorce attorney. She was a hard-working woman who was good at her job. She was well known for being a vicious woman when it came to her work. Katie was willing to do everything and anything to win.

"Oh no, not yet," Jack replied in a casual tone, "but we barely got a chance to talk to each other at the wedding and I thought you might want to get a bight or a late drink," he offered with a world winning smirk. Smooth.

"I don't know if that's a good idea," Katie replied.

"What about lunch?" Jack questioned with persistence, "lunch seems like a great idea. Think, it's a perfect meal to tie with breakfast and dinner," Jack could hear Katie stifle a laugh.

"Jack," she replied in a warning manner.

"Come on," Jack whined in desperation, "you can't face all those cheating husbands on an empty stomach," he jested as he waited for her response.

"Okay," was her response.

Elsa and Anna lay stomach first on a bed, with their heads surrounded by a comfortable pillow with a hole in the middle, so they may breathe. Rubbing their backs was two men who were more than good-looking.

"Now this was a good idea," Elsa announced as she fell into the emotion of relaxation.

Elsa's mind was empty. Nothing occupied it at the moment. She was swarmed by peace and tranquillity. The soft sound of naturistic music played in the background, only adding happiness to the mix of emotions the flowed through her. 

"Well you had to have at least one spar day before you leave," Anna asserted as she let out a relaxing sigh.

A moment of silence.

"Actually, I'm not going back tomorrow," Elsa admitted as Anna lifted her head in surprise. Glancing over to her big sister, Anna smiled and rolled her eyes before laying her head down again.

Along the wall was every hue of amber liquid in their inverted bottles. The bar had hundreds of conversations told in loud voices, all of them competing with the rock music that plays in the background of the atmosphere. The crowd was young, students from the university for the most part.
