office and asked to speak with Cynthia. She knew what I wanted and came outside to speak with me. I didn’t even have a chance to say hello before she started. “You know John can do a lot better than you. I would make the perfect mate for him. He will eventually come around, you’ll see.” She said with her hand on her hip.
I was looking at her like she was crazy. I’m not the type to get into physical altercations, but I wanted to beat her into a greasy spot on the pavement. But, I restrained myself and said, “You know Cynthia, I never realized that you were having trouble finding or keeping a man. Maybe if you acted more like a lady you wouldn’t have these kinds of problems. I hope you had a good time at my house last week, ‘cause it will be the last time you’ll ever be there. This is my first and last warning to you, stay away from my husband.” I said and began to walk back to my car.
To my surprise, she ran to catch up with me. “You think because you have John you’re better than me? You’re not, anybody can take him from you and I’m gonna be the one to prove it to you. You forget, I see him every day here at work and I have plenty of opportunities. I was in your bed last week because that’s where I belong. You might as well get used to it!” She said turning away.
“Thank you for the warning.” I replied as I opened my car door. Just as I was about to start the engine, I saw John drive up. I waited until he walked over to the car. I turned my attention to John and completely dismissed Cynthia as the dirt she is on the bottom of my shoe. I opened the door for him to get in for us to talk. He looked like I was gonna tell him his mother had died. “John, I owe you an apology for the way I treated you the last few days and for not giving you a chance to explain. I realize now you couldn’t have done what I accused you of and I’m sorry.” Before I could finish saying anything else, he reached over and hugged me. “Baby, I’m sorry. I don’t wanna hurt the baby.” He said patting my stomach.
“John, the baby is fine. But you have another problem. Its name is Cynthia. I needed to talk to her so I came by, before I could say anything she gave me some song and dance about how I don’t deserve you and she is going to take you from me. She said she was in my bed because that’s where she belongs, with you. And she was letting me know. John she’s crazy. I had no idea it was like this.”
“Well, she had made little comments here in the office and I never realized it was this bad. I guess she has a real problem. What do you think we should do?”
“First, file a complaint for sexual harassment. Make sure you detail as much as you can. If nothing else that will make her see you aren’t playing around with her. Then you need to explain to your boss and other co-workers you cannot work with her, especially alone for fear of what she might do. If nothing else, maybe they will transfer her to another location and she’ll be out of our hair.”
“I’m sorry you have to deal with this right now. I swear to you Leslie, I never gave her any impression I was interested in her. She isn’t my type or anything. She’s too loose. You know, slutty. Can you ever forgive me?”
“I can try to forgive you. But there are also some things I need to work on. I’m going home to cook dinner. See you later.” I said starting the engine. Once home, I rested for a few minutes while I ate a few crackers. This is the worse case of morning sickness I’ve ever had. It last all day long. I can’t believe it. I just had my period last week and I’m six weeks pregnant again at thirty-five years old. Wait ‘til I tell my mother this! Speaking of which, I was supposed to call her back. She must be worried sick. I dialed the number, “Hi Momma is everything okay? Yeah, I just needed some time to think some things through. No, the kids are fine. In fact, I have something to
