Chapter 15

Mike

I hadn’t talked to Tammie or my kids in almost two days. I called Tammie so many times and still wasn’t getting an answer.

I knew there was nothing I could say to change the situation, but I thought she would at least be ready to curse me out or something. As much as I wanted to just go home and make Tammie talk to me, I knew I had to give her some time to figure everything out and to deal with the hurt and anger she was feeling.

I had a company party to attend that night. I really didn’t want to go without my wife, but it was work, so I had to go. Just as I was getting out of the shower, my phone rang. Because it was a new number, it had to be Tammie or someone from work. It wasn’t Tammie, but I did recognize the number.

It was Ashley. Ashley was a secretary from another company that I used to mess around with. I hadn’t talked to or been with Ashley in months. For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out how she got my new number. “Hello?”

“Hey, stranger. Long time no hear from,” she replied.

“Yea, I been busy. What do you want, Ashley? I have to get dressed.”

“Nothing, I’ve just been thinking about you lately. When I called you, your number had been changed, so I called the office to get your new number. I hope you don’t mind me having your number.”

“Look, Ashley, now is not a good time. I got a party to attend and a lot of other things going on. I really don’t have time to play these little games with you.”

“I’m sorry, Mike. I tell you what, I’ll go to the party with you, and you can give me the chance to cheer you up. What’s the attire of the party?”

“Ashley, that’s not a good idea.”

“Come on, Mike. I can hear it in your voice that you need to have a good time. So, what’s the attire?”

I grumbled to myself. She was right. “Formal black tie,” I answered reluctantly.

“Okay, give me forty-five minutes and I’ll be ready. You know the address.”

“Okay, see you then.”

I didn’t really want to deal with Ashley tonight, but I’d rather have some company than none at all.

Ashley was 5’7”, petite, and dark-skinned with long black hair with copper brown highlights. She used to be a secretary at a partner company. We met at a company banquet. Before the night was over, we had slept together. Ashley maintained a professional demeanor. When I saw that sleeping together would not interfere with our jobs or family life, we started hooking up regularly. Ashley was married to some rich real estate mogul, who was always traveling somewhere and neglecting his wife. The only reason she worked at the company was to help keep herself busy and to stop her from being in that big ass house alone. She had no children.

We stopped seeing each other after the housing market decline.
