A Mended Heart: A tragic Love Story

Chapter 11: Consequences

"Uhhh, ummm, my mistake, I see you're busy. Bye."

Maria turned around and scampered away walking as fast as she could.

Zeek turned around again and looked at Isabella. Isabella felt awkward for the first time of the evening. She could sense that something was going on between Zeek and this woman.

*Beep, beep*

Maria clicked her keys and the car started up.

*Vroom, vroom*

The engine purred, she could not wait to get in the car to start it. Maria wish she was gone already, she felt so embarrassed showing up at Ezeekiel's house almost minutes to 11:00 at night in this sexy tight white dress. Looking all desperate for attention. What was she thinking ugh she was so pissed at Ezeekiel.
       Of course he doesn't want anything with her, she thought... you are his wife's friend. Just someone to use and have watch baby Laura while he's out here messing around. Maria continued in her head.

*Beep*

"Call John" Maria commanded her Infiniti.

At this time, Isabella gave baby Laura one last kiss and handed her to Ezeekiel. She quickly grabbed her things from off the counter and proceeded to leave. She didn't want to show it but she was so furious with Ezeekiel. After she spent her evening with him,
Keeping his company, watching his daughter he invited some chick over for a booty call. Not that Isabella would ever go all the way but what was wrong with her, she thought.

Just like that both women stormed away from Zeek, he had no clue what the fuck was going on. All he knew was that both women he liked, who he thought were in his life, had just walked out. He looked down at baby Laura smiled at his little princess and said "At least I'll always have you, yes I will."

*Phone ringing*

"Hello?"
"Hey John, I got that emergency taken care of. If you're still free to continue where we left off?" Maria tried to compose herself and sound sexy not pissed off like she truly was.

"Of course beautiful, I just reached home and was about to hop into the shower." John replied.
"Hold that thought and wait for me, send me your address." Maria could not believe she just invited herself to John's house, but it was too late to turn back now.

*ding*

The address came through, Maria clicked the link... the GPS popped up, 15 minutes away.

"I'll be there in 10."

*click*

Zeek closed the door, and put his sweet baby Laura in her crib and went to sleep. He was restless, tossing and turning, all over his King Size bed. Then he was back... back in the past with Marsha.

"Remember when we had our first fight, and you couldn't sleep. And you tossed and turned just like this. I watched you for a minute then I laid down with you on the floor. On the air mattress even though I kicked you out the bed."  Marsha asked Zeek.

"Yea I remember, you were upset because I friended my ex on social media and liked a bunch of her pictures without telling you." Zeek chuckled as he reminisced.

"You were always clueless when it came to other women."

"She liked a bunch of mine first, I was only being polite." Zeek tried to defend himself.

"Obviously she was flirting with you, just like the two women were tonight."

Zeek could feel Marha's presence extremely strong but how? Was he dreaming, still reminiscing? But he couldn't be because this illusion of Marsha knew what happened today. Either way Zeek just smiled as he drifted off to sleep, he felt comfort and not total emptiness for the first time talking and laying with this fragment of Marsha.
