Day to Day Chapter 19

Damien had spent the afternoon in his office worrying about what Megan would say when she emerged. This was infact Megans plan. She intended to stay in her office for as long as she could. She wanted him to feel guilty about snooping and stealing her diary. It was none of his business and he should not have done it. But as far as she was concerned it was all over and done with now, Krystal knew and accepted it incredibly well, but she would till get some pleasure and satisfaction out of letting Damien sweat it.

Packing up at the end of a long and emotionally charged day she locked the door to her private office, something that she would never have done before, placed the keys in her pocket and walked out into Damien’s office. He tried to speak to her as she exited she raised her hand to silence him and just kept on walking and stated she was going home. And that he was not to enter her office during her absence. Megan had no intentions of speaking to Damien regarding the book.

Megan called ahead to let Cookie know that there would be a visitor again tonight. Krystal followed Megan for the 30 minute drive home. She parked her car out front while Megan took hers around to the garage. They met in the living room. Mrs. Hopkins already had a glass of wine waiting for them. She handed Megan with a Red and Krystal with a White. The meal was unusually quiet for the two normally very chatty women. There was a strange feeling in the room that night. With the skeleton out of the closet so as to speak Krystal wasn't really sure what to say. She was surprised, and jealous to say the least, but she was also very hurt. Not at the fact that Megan had been intimate with Jon but the fact that they had known each other forever and she didn't tell her. She thought they knew everything about each other. How wrong can one person be? She thought shaking her head.

Megan looked up at that point and said, "What are you shaking your head about? What’s the matter?"

"I'm just shocked that’s all. I thought we knew each other."

"Just because you didn’t know how or with whom I lost my virginity doesn’t mean we don't know each other. Krystal we have been friends for longer than I can remember but I dare say there would be things about you that I don’t know. We all have our secrets, our skeletons. Not all of us tell everyone, everything." She took a sip of her wine while reaching out to touch Krystals hand. "Do you think we will get past this? Will you ever be able to forgive me? Please let’s not allow this to spoil our friendship.

Krystal agreed that they needed to move on. However she just wanted to make it clear to her friend that she wasn't upset at the fact that she had slept with Jon, but the fact that she didn't tell her until all these years later.

Pouring another glass of wine for them both Megan said, "Didn't you say earlier you had something you want to talk about?"

"Um, yes I did. But maybe one shock a day is enough. We will talk about it tomorrow." She finished her wine and bid her best friend goodnight and said they would indeed talk tomorrow. They agree to meet at The Sunburst Cafe on Main St. for lunch the next day.

After a nice meal and a hot chocolate on the deck Megan soaked in the bath tub for a long time just trying to piece together the events of the day. Reflection time was good for her. She enjoyed just giving her mind a really good spring clean. So much had happened in the last 24 - 36 hours. She was taken by surprise at how things had occurred.

The water was getting cold so she got out and dressed in her white terry toweling robe before going to her room. She dried her hair and crawled into bed exhausted. Sleep didn't come easily for her despite the fact that she was exhausted. She could still smell the scent Jon had left behind the night before on her pillow. She relived the events of last night over and over again in her mind. Closing her eyes she could smell him, she could feel his hands on her body, she could feel the warmth of his skin on hers, his breath on her neck, and she could still hear his breathing while he slept.

He would be in the air now. On their private jet. Heading to Europe. When would she see him again? Would she see him again? It would be months before he would be back in the country for their next tour. After that who knows? Maybe the time and distance between them would change his mind. Life goes on was the last that that went through her mind before her body gave out and she slept.
