forward to seeing you some time. When do you fly in?”
“Friday afternoon.”
“Perfect,” she said and walked away.
Kurtis put his head down. He'd lost his appetite for breakfast and he was even contemplating not going to his next business meeting. He was in a turmoil; surely he shouldn't be listening to Catherine of all people? Wasn't this just another plan to get him to change his mind about Tanya so that she could try to work her way back into his affections? But Catherine seemed balanced now, not trying to get him into bed, not crying hysterically. Maybe there was some truth in it? No. He couldn't accept that of her – not Tanya.
He sat through his afternoon meeting, still contemplating what Catherine had said. She'd flown back to New York and left him unable to concentrate on the business meeting. He was missing valuable information from the rest of the people in the boardroom. Important points were raised and when a vote was needed he had to excuse himself and go out into the hallway.
He called Tanya. “It's me.”
“I know it's you,” Tanya replied. “What's up?”
“I just want to ask you something and I want you to tell me the truth.”
“Sure.”
“Did you meet up with James in an apartment on the Villiers complex?”
There was nothing coming back from Tanya.
“Well?” he said.
“Well, yes it's true but...”
“So you admit seeing him there?”
“Yes I did. I know you said you didn't want me having anything to do with him so I couldn't tell you where I really saw him.”
“Right. Fine.”
“What's that supposed to mean?”
“It means that no-one seems to understand the concept of complete honesty these days.” He clicked off the cell and went back into his meeting. His cell rang as soon as he entered the boardroom. It was Tanya. He switched the cell to silent and put it into his jacket pocket.
“I'm sorry. I just had to take care of something. I'm ready to continue.”
The Final Chapter
For the next two days, Tanya tried to call Kurtis. She tried his cell but he never picked up and each time she tried his hotel she was told that she had just missed him or that he was not there at the moment. They would ask her each time if she'd like to leave a message but her call was never returned.
It was Friday morning and she had taken a day off work. Jeannie had asked her to come with her to pick out an outfit for their night out at Rafaelo's.
“Don't worry, I'll pay you, Tanya,” Jeannie had joked when she called the day before but Tanya didn't laugh. “Is everything all right?” Jeannie had asked and Tanya said that everything was fine.
But as they walked along Fifth Avenue on the shopping spree for Jeannie, it was obvious that Tanya's mind was elsewhere.
“I'm sick of Fendi these days,” Jeannie said to Tanya as she stopped to look into the shop window. “What do you think?” She looked at Tanya who had a vacant expression on her face. “I mean I could always buy a tablecloth and wear a belt around my waist or perhaps just go topless. What do you think Tanya?”
“Um, yes,” Tanya said.
“So you think that's a good idea?” Jeannie put her hands on her hips.
“Perfect,” Tanya said.
“All right, now I know something is up. I don't believe you'd really want to take me to your favorite place with my boobs hanging out for all to see.”
“What are you talking about, Jeannie?”
“Exactly! You haven't listened to a word I've said for the last two blocks. What's the matter with you?”
Tanya put her head down and slowly turned to Jeannie. “I did something really crazy the other day,” Tanya said, so quietly Jeannie had to get a lot closer to hear her above the busy traffic.
“What was it?” she asked.
“Well, I tried on a wedding dress.”
“What's so crazy about that? You are engaged. You're going to get married someday, right? You'll be trying on dozens of dresses.”
“I know. But the crazy thing was, that dress I tried on, it was perfect.
“Friday afternoon.”
“Perfect,” she said and walked away.
