I didn't see her again until the next day at work. As much as I tried to stay away from the PR department, I just sort of gravitated there and when lunch time came again, I asked her if she wanted to share a meal with me. I had a pretty good feeling that she knew I wanted more than just lunch.

“I really don't think that's a good idea, Chris. We should keep things professional and lunches don’t end that way with you.”

“Come on, Madeline, you know it’s a very good idea. I could have sworn that you were into it yesterday. Don’t you want more of that?”

“Yeah, it was real nice, but then your fiancée walked in and ruined everything. We should have never done anything, and whether you want to claim your marriage to her as real or not, it is in the eyes God. It’s just not right and I shouldn’t have let it get so far.”

She was upset and I couldn't hardly blame her. What she must have thought of me wasn't something that I was necessarily comfortable thinking about. There were other times I underestimated how hurtful the situation was for Madeline. Obviously, it bothered her, and it made me realize that maybe there was another way to solve this problem. Pushing the company to finish up the deal sooner would help immensely.

“I'm sorry that that happened. You know damn well I didn't want it to. I was fully committed to seeing it out till the end.”

“It's not that I blame you. I blame myself. I knew better, and I knew that it was a messed-up situation and instead of walking away, I went along with it. I should know better by now.”

“Don't say that. You can't mean that.”

I wanted to get close to her, pull her next to me and kiss her like I had before, so she would not be able to talk such madness. I could not, though, not if she didn’t want me to.

“I do mean it and you should probably not talk so loudly. I don't want everybody knowing that we had an affair. I can't believe that I'm the other woman with my boss, who is about to get married. I think we just added the plot to about ten romantic comedies.”

She was shaking her head once again. I wanted to remind her that I wasn’t in a real relationship, but I knew that she didn't want to hear it. It was real enough for her and that was the point. It needed to be real, so that it would serve its purpose. Well, my father's purpose anyway.

When I tried to explain myself to her, she pulled away and moved further apart from me. She was shutting me off from touching her, and I knew then that I was going to have my work cut out for me. It was touching her, kissing her, reminding her of what I was capable of, that was going to hopefully get her to forgive me.
