The Show Must Go On

Walk away

Christina and Jordan had a great evening, but still in the back of her head Christina felt bad for what she did to Matt. She couldn't even explain to herself, why she had felt the need to lie.

Was it just because she was afraid that Jordan would get angry with her, when he knew it was Matthew on the phone? Or was it because, she herself thought that Matthew was a threat to Jordan, but why would she think that way? She would never throw her marriage away for a men, she barely knew, plus everything in her marriage seemed to work out again. So why would she?

Christina couldn't bear, that she was so rude to Matthew, so she decided to apologize to him soon.

It was midnight, Christina and Jordan just came back from the date night at a Club. Jordan was pretty wasted, so he just let himself fall onto their bed and slept in right away. Christina in her slightly tipsy state of mind, thought it would be the right time to call Matt now, so she picked up her phone, took a blanket with her and went to her backyard.

She dialed the number and soon she heared a sleepy Voice on the other side;

'Yeah, what's going on. Please don't tell me I have to pick you up somewhere.'; Matthew complained.

'What? I'm not even that wasted and also, I have a driver.'

'Christina?? Ohh, I'm sorry I thought it was my dumbass of a roommate again, sorry, for those harsh words, I didn't expected you to call me anytime soon. But that's how we do with my roommates, we bicker.'; Matthew now sounded pretty awake.

'Listen, I'm just calling, because I wanted to apologize for being rude to you, earlier. I'm sorry, I didn't even knew, why in the world I acted like that.'; Christina apologised.

'It's okey, pretty Girl.'; Matt said flirting.

Christina started to giggel; 'Oh Matt, can I ask you to do something for me?'.

'Sure, how can I help you.'

'Well, how about no more surprises from now on? Like the underwear-incidence and that phone call when I was just in my lingerie, that was enough for now.'; Christina said jokingly, but did she really just mentioned her lingerie?

'Yeah sorry, but none of that was planed. And also Nicole gave me your number she said, I should call you some time.'

'Yeah, that's typical Nicole, but I'm glad she did, I missed out talks.', Christina admitted. 'Yes, I did too, but wait a minute. Did you just said you were in your lingerie?'; Matthew said with his sweet voice.

'You know what, Matt? It's pretty Late. Bye. Haha.'; Christina tried to escape this embarrassing Moment.

'Man, why now? It's just getting interesting! But alright, good night.'; Matthew said amused.

With time passing, it became a habit and they would talk to each other more often and a really strong friendship was formed between the two, until suddenly they broke contact, because Christina and Jordan's marriage, made another downwards slide and she didn't want anyone to know.

She wanted to keep everything regarding her marriage under as many wraps as possible. 

Was this just the beginning of something gruesome?

On a friday afternoon in Christina's LA House: 'Fine, Fuck this shit! I don't have any nerves left to put up with your shit, seriously Christina. I have to be in New York on Monday and I really don't want to spent it fighting.'; Jordan screamed at Christina.

'Than don't, Jordan! How about that? I'm so sick of you, always arguing too. You started this and all I wanted was you to not fly to NY, you don't always have to leave everything as is, just because your Father wants to. You are married Jordan! Max needs you, I need you and I really wanted to do this trip to Italy with you and now you tell me you canceled it, without asking me?'; Christina said calm but assertive.

'Why the Fuck am I not allowed to do anything around here? You know what? I have to go right now. I can't stand seeing you for now.'; Jordan ranted, while he grabbed his key, jacked and went ahead to leave the house.

'How dare you, to just leave me here, like that! We are not done yet, Jordan. Do you head me?'; Christina now started to scream as well, but Jordan was already out of the door and headed to the Garage.

Jordan shouldn't come back for the night. Christina called him what felt like hundred-times, he wouldn't pick up his phone, she stayed up all night and waited for him.

But it was not before midday of saturday, when he came back home, he never left that long, without him telling Christina.
