An Apple A Day(Trixya)

Black and White

*December 2nd*

Trixie sat at her desk and sighed, another day without seeing Katya. Talking to Katya was great, but Trixie missed seeing her, and holding her. Katya and her family moved a bit earlier than planned, so Trixie didn't even get to say goodbye. The only good thing about the move was that Katya got her phone back so talking to her was easier. Well nothing about it was easy, Trixie held in tears every time she heard Katya's voice. "Ms. Mattel, please report to Mr. Chachki's office." Trixie groaned and stood up, dragging her feet to her boss' office. She opened the door and peeked inside.

"You wanted to see me?"

"Yes, please come in and close the door behind you." Trixie stepped into the office and shut the door. "Please, have a seat." Trixie nodded as she sat in a chair close to Mr. Chachki's desk. "Ms. Mattel, I would like to speak with you about something that appeared on my desk."

"And what would that be?"

"I think we both know it was you who brought in this folder with these..things." Mr. Chachki sighed and set the yellow folder in Trixie's lap. "I never imagined that she would cheat on me with students and then try to with one of my employees." Trixie had forgotten about this folder in all honesty. She dropped it off about two weeks ago and didn't hear anything about it. Trixie was too busy being sad about Katya to even waste energy on Violet and her foolish anyway.

"Did you talk to her about it?"

"No, not yet. I have been just mulling it over, trying to figure out where I went wrong in my marriage."

"I don't think it was your fault. Some people are just like that, want everything they see. It doesn't mean you had anything to do with it."

"I was upset at first, I still very much am but that isn't what I called you in here for. I wanted to say thank you."

"For what may I ask?"

"Letting me know. There was always a thought in the back of my mind but I was just blinded by my love for her. Turns out it was a very one sided relationship."

"I'm sure that yo-" Trixie was interruped by the ringing of Mr. Chachki phone.

"Oh, look who's calling." Mr. Chachki cleared his throat and answered the phone, putting it on speaker. "Hello?"

"Hi baby." Trixie rolled her eyes at the sound of Violet's voice. How could she be so fake?

"Did you need something?"

"Yes sugar I do, I need to speak with you about one of your employees." Trixie raised an eyebrow and held back a smile. Violet really was going through with her little plan huh?

"Oh really? Which one?"

"That new one, Mattel. Something has come to my attention involving her and a student. I feel as if you should know about it."

"Oh dear, what is it?"

"I was told by the student in question, that Mattel took advantage of her."

"That doesn't sound like something Ms. Mattel would do."

"Hmm, we don't know her that well now do we? Listen, I am on my way to your office. We can finish talking about how you let a fox into the hen house then. Bye sweetie."

"Your wife has some nerve."

"I am sorry Ms. Mattel. I apologize for her behavior and her trying to slander your name."

"Oh, it's quite alright. But I must ask, may I stay in here when you present her with what I have given you?"

"Of course."

"Sugar, I am here." Violet flung open her husband's office door with a smile. A smile that faded when she saw Trixie. "What is she doing here? I didn't expect to see her."

"I called her in here to discuss the fox in the hen house as you said."

"Oh honey, you work fast." Violet leaned on her husband's shoulder and kissed her cheek. "I hate that someone would use the trust of a student to take advantage of them in such a way."

"Hmm, like you did Violet?" Trixie spit her words out with a smile.

"I don't know what you are talking about."

"Oh, you forgot the false promises you made. What was it? Oh, I remember. You promised to help them get their grades up so they wouldn't have to be kicked off the football team?"

"You are trying to turn this on me, but that isn't going to work." Violet stood up straight, but there was fear in her eyes. "My husband knows that I wouldn't do anything like that?"

"Do I?" Mr. Chachki slammed the folder on his desk in front of Violet.

"What is this?"

"How about you take a look?" Violet opened the folder, shock making her face go pale.

"T-these are all fake.."

"Come now Violet, you can think of something better than these are fake." Trixie smiled from her chair, crossing her legs.

"This is your phone number Violet, this is you. She let me hear the voicemails, that was you. All of this..the pictures and everything. All in black and white. Why?"

"Sweetie, I.."

"Was I not enough for you? Were you that unhappy?"

"Sweetie, we can work this out."

"No, I don't want to be married to such a disgusting human being."

"Baby."

"It is over."

"W..what?"

"It...is..over Violet. I want all of your stuff out of MY house tonight before I get off work. Pack your shit and leave."

"You can't be serious." Mr. Chachki stood up and walked to his office door, opening it.

"You have five hours, whatever you haven't taken by the time I get off, will be thrown out into the street. Use your time wisey." Violet scoffed and looked at Trixie.

"This is all your fault." Trixie waved sweetly, wearing that same smile and without breaking eye contact mouthed three words.

"I warned you."
