Love Affair In Chicago

Why Couldn't You Trust Me?"

Just as Michael had crossed the street and opened the double doors his mobile phone started to ring. The number was all too familiar ---his hesitation lasted briefly, and then he finally took the call. "Hello."he said into the phone.

"My Knight and shining handsome. I've missed you in countless ways. I need to see you now."she said directing the driver to the Clairmont.

"Gigi, I....I ve missed you in many ways,too. You sound almost cavalier. " Michael suggested.

She giggled. "You and your way with words. The things you do to me with those beautiful lips. Hahaha."she threw her head back. She crossed her legs as the car stopped at a red light. "Please,tell me that you want me, too." she begged.

"Giselle, any man would be crazy not to want you." he exclaimed.

"But do you need me?"she asked.

Michael nearly lost his breath. Of course he needed her and yearned for her,but had she lied to him? He was just seconds away from finding the information he was looking for on Thomas and these children who had the looks of their mother.

"Michael, did you hear me? Tell me you're not upset with me. I...I just couldn't bear that,baby"she winced out.

"Giselle, I just.."he sighed. "It's time that we settle this thing with your ex-husband. Especially since I want my future to grow with you. Meeting him is a must and returning your son and daughter home is a priority." Michael exclaimed..

"Darling, baby, my handsome love, aren't you such a fine man. You truly care for me."she smiled."Michael, I'm on my way to you now to show you just how much you mean to me." She told him kissing into the phone then ending the call..

Michael held the phone to his ear as the dial tone played in his ear. He pushed the power button until the phone shut off and he dropped it inside of his coat pocket. He finally opened the double doors then entered the airport terminal. He looked around frantically,because he didn't see any sign of Thomas or the children. He exhaled deeply as he turned searching further throughout the entire airport, but it was useless. He exited the building, crossed the street, and got back in the taxi that had been waiting for him.

An hour passed and Giselle sat in the dinning room of the Clairmont. She sipped on a glass of white wine as she listened to the band play. Not even twenty minutes had passed and Michael was approaching her. Her scent was woven in his brain and when the Chanel hit his nostrils he exhaled deeply. She swiveled in her chair pursing her lips together as she turned around slowly. "My darling man has arrived. I was getting worried especially with the slip of your tongue. I caught those two Giselle's you called me."she eyed him.

"Gigi it's always pleasurable to be in your company." He said making her blush then she stood up from her seat. She pressed her body close to his inhaling his sexy aroma. She placed her arms around his neck and she stared at him as if he was the only man who knew her privately.

"You seem distant and it's unfair,Michael. I haven't seen you in days and I've missed you. I need you,Michael." He gave her a simple stare as his hands wrapped around her waist. "Are you here with me or are you someplace else?"she lifted her brow awaiting his reply

He smiled vaguely. "I'm here,Giselle. Where else would I be?" he asked.

"I haven't a clue."she said staring deeply in his eyes. "How about we go up to your suite. Can we do that?"she asked him.

He tilted his head with a simple nod and released his hands from her waist as she linked her hand in his. They stood in the elevator quietly. Michael's mood was more than distant ,he seemed so far away. He stood stone-like without a word, a movement or the blink of his eye. When the elevator doors opened he gestured for her to exit he followed and met up beside her walking to his suite door then inside. She sat her purse down immediately at the chocolate table as his silence immersed. She tilted her head staring at him then she walked following him as he laid his coat jacket in the chair. "Ohhhh.this feels so good being next to you."she exhaled intimatley wrapping her arms around his body.
