Katherine sat in her car looking at the office. What what she thinking telling everyone like that. Why did she get so angry when shelly started going on at her she shouldn’t be and she knew that james means nothing to her so
she needs her mouth to learn that too. So now what. She told them they where moving in together she just placed herself in a corner and she didn’t even need anyone’s help to do it.
God how could she be so stupid all those times she told herself to refrain from bringing her personal life into work and in a matter of minutes her world has been tured upside down.
She took a breath shaking her head in disappointment, ella was home from her grans today and she was going to lift her. Katherine knew her mom loved Ella and over midterm break knew her mother would be more than happy to take ella. It gave her time to go to the hospital do things that needed done.
But she missed her baby. What would happen when her bubbly four year old meets her daddy? Katherine was worried but as she drove to her mums home she pushed it all to the back of her head. The drive to her mothers house left her itching to see ella again it had been 10 days and she was yearning for her babygirl again.
She pulled up in her mothers drive quickly getting out of the car and ran through the front door.
“Mommy” the sweet voice she heard call out brought a smile to her face
“Yes honey its me” katherine called out and in seconds the sound of little feet running along the floor can be heard.
And a ball of blonde throws itself into her outstreached arms. She giggles a little and squeezes Ella until she feels her little monkey wiggling out of her grasp.
“Mummy i missed you” hearing ellas sweet voice makes Katherine smile.
“I missed you too baby” katherine tickled her and kissed ellas scrunched up nose.
“I was wondering when I’d see you again” katherine looked up at her mother on hearing her voice.
“You knew she was staying over mid term break” she replies sharply
“I know but i thought maybe you would have taken her for a day out” her mother replies calmly. “Ah well at least your here now” she shrugs
“I love you too mun” katherine stands up from the floor and engulfs her mother in a hug.
Her parents split when she was young so she never did have a good relationship with her father. Her mother raised her single handed and for that she would be forever greatful her childhood was full of amazing memories which she would forever cherish.
Her mother was now aged 55 but liked to keep her appearance up so she didnt look her age. Her strawberry blonde hair was always neatly twisted into a bun and her clothes where always from designer brands.
“I love you katherine, now come for a cup of tea we have much to discuss” her mother pushes katherine from the hall into the homely kitchen.
After a while they sat around the kitchen table talking, her mother chatted about neighbours and her frien and then ella.
Kathernine smiled and laughed with her mother. It wasnt often she got to do this. She called home every wedensday evening but being in this atmosphere relaxed and happy had a calming affect on her.
“She asked about her daddy yesterday” her mothers statement drew katherine out of her daydream
“W-what?” She asked not believing she had heard right
“Katherine she wanted to know where her daddy was. She asked if he loved her” katherine stared at her mother jaw open and eyes wide she wasnt ready for that yet
“What did you tell her?” She asked not knowing herself what she would have said if ella asked
Her mother raised her eyebrow “what could i say katherine. She knows she has one i just said he lobed her very much but the was busy at the moment” she sighed and ran her had through her hair whilst speaking to katherine
This was deffinitley not what katherine wouod have said “why dod you do that?” She exclaims
“Um i had to say something” her mothers tome was rising which was a sign a row was going to start and katherine hated fighting with her mother.
“You know what it doesnt matter i have been talking to james anyway” she replied and then realised what she had just admited to the nosiest person she knows.
Her mother froze in her seat and staring at katherine blinked once then twice then asked something very unexpected
“Is he still as handsome as he used to be?” Her smile was as wide as ever
“Mom” katherine used her hands to cover her rosy cheeks moaned out loud. “Anyway we better get home because
i have work in the morning” so katherine and ella said goodbye to her mother and with a final hug and kiss they left for home.
The drive was pleasant ella sang and katherine hummed the bond they shared was something special.
As she pulled up home she helped ella out of the car abd got the bags from the back of the car. She opened the front door and ella bounded uo the stairs to change into her pyjamas. Katherine made herself some coffee as she had some work to do before work tomorrow morning.
The knock at her front door confused her. Its nine thirty at night who on earth would be visiting. Wearing her pyjamas ie. And old shirt of James. Dont judge too much after being kicked out she atleast deserved a few souvenirs. She walked to the door and swung it open.
“Nice shirt” the all to familair voice made her look up to see a cocky looking bastard standing infront of her.
“Thanks i took it from a dick” she cockily came back with “now why are you here?” She asked him raising a brow.
“im going to start moving your stuff to our home again in the morning i want to look after ella when you are at work too” he demanded
“No” her reply was short and sharp but sent the message
“Im sory but i will not have my wife deny me see my daughter and you will have to come.home at some stage you told the whole office you where” he smirked. Her mouth dropped open at hearing his last comment
“H-ow di-” he cut her off before she could even ask
“Butt dial baby” he winked at her and walked into the house.

Katherine never was one to swoon after men. She often ignored thier looks and stares, passed off thier offers of dinner but watching james standing in her living room in his black Armani suit which was tailored to fit his body perfectly, his black tie and black shoes, she couldnt help but think how good he looked.
He stood looking around her living room feeling her eyes follow his every movement. He rung his hands nerves getting to him. The whole drive to her house he tried to prepare himself for this moment but when he saw her standing with her hair in a ponytail and wearing his shirt that reached her tanned thighs his thoughts went out the window.
It was half eight and here he stood unsure of what to say, what to do. His heart was palpitatating his palms sweaty as he rubed them on his suit. He came after work. Straight to her place. They had alot of unfinished buisness to attend to.
“James what are you doing here?” He expected this attitude from her katherine never had patience for time wasters. Like him.
“Im here because i want to tell you something” he stumbled across his words but was happy he was starting the dialogue.
“Well, go on” she snapped and he took a deep breath. Katherine stood with her arms crossed waiting for him to continue
He felt butterflies in his stomach. “Katherine i love you but i realise now that in our marriage a key thing was missing, communication. And i want to make us work so i think its best if im honest with you.” he smiles a little. There the hardest part is done getting her to stay in the same room for 20 minutes.
She sat on the blush pink sofa scattered with grey cushions. So he took another deep breath and took it as a sign to continue.
“It all started with a letter sitting on my desk in a white envelope when i went to work on a monday morning. The letter was adressed to me, i opened it and found a typed letter and pictures of you with another man. I didn’t want to believe it but the pictures seemed like proof i wanted to hurt you. Make you feel how i felt when i found out
my wife had cheated on me. It felt as though my heart had been ripped from my body and torn into shreds whilst i watched helpless. Then i did. Your face looked pained when you caught us i got what i wanted.” He felt awkward oppening up. Sure he had mouthed at her but speaking calmly and treating her like a person was new to him.
“When you left that night i went to the liquor cabinet and drowned my sorrows. | thought one night and I’d be over it but the drinking became a regular thing especially when shelly came over and told me what she had done just so she could be with me. I was angry and felt guilty every day i ordered the maid to fill the liquor cabinet up and by the night time it was always empty. It was a couple of months ago i sought help from a psychiatrist her name was elena Marshall well recommended too.
I went to her and was doing well stopped drinking and took the company to the next level. Then you came back and i was so cruel i couldnt understand why though you where inoccent. But i lashed out anger clouded over my judgement. Anger that you had been fucked over. Then i went to see elena for our weekly session i told her about my behaviour and how harsh i was she pinpointed the problem straight away. Im in love and i fear rejection because of guilt.
The anger was upon seeing you again and memories which flooded my thoughts. I couldnt stop thinking about you but everytime i see you i was livid and the words flowed out and i couldnt stop myself. Now i see whats been missing what went wrong. I was tge problem. I wasnt a good listener i had no faith in you a di didnt trust you with other men. I was tricked but i had a choice whether to belive it or not and my own insecurities led me along a narrow path.”
He felt the weight of years of guilt gradually lift from her shoulders this was it the confession that should have come out ages ago and all she was doing was standing watching him carefully arms crossed protectivley over herself. Doubt about whether he was doing the right thing flooded his mind but iy was too late to stop now.
“If i where you i know i wouldnt be able to accept you into my life again knowing you where betrayed but im ready now to be the man you need. The man you have always needed. I miss you. Heck i missed you the moment i saw you walk away from me. Your stuff is still in our closet at home exactly where you left it. Your perfume still sits in the vanity.
Your shampoo is still in the shower and i still keep your baby pink towels in the bathroom because all the things i have are there because i am clinging on to the hope you will have me back” he was begging her pleading with her eyes. Tears of his own slid down his cheeks and right there Katherine could see the regret the lonliness, the battle he is fighting inside and the vunerability that no one ever gets to see. The infamous james saunders had let his walls down for her and she could see right through him. His true feelings the ones normally kept under lock and key.
Katherine didnt know what to say he was being honest and appologised for what happened so long ago, he explained why he was so mean and hurtful towards her when they met again. She was shocked and felt tears begin to fill her eyes although unsure why. But if she was shocked before she was certainly shocked when she looked up at james to find him wide eyed and looking at the foot of the stairs
“Mommy who is he?”
