What Was I Thinking? LXVII

The seconds that followed ticked away in slow motion. The realization of what had just happened seemed to sink in deeper with every second. We broke apart, both falling to the ground, the gun rolling to the ground. Fitz picked it up and hid it in his coat. The others glanced at Adam, thinking he…

Fitz’s eyes flicked open. He glanced at the bedside clock. 3:45a.m. There was something urgent he needed to take care of. Aha! The gun! Just when he tried getting up, his wife’s arm which circled his waist tightened its grip. He tried freeing himself but she squirmed, murmuring “Please don’t go; just five more minutes,”…

My patience had completely run out. If he wasn’t holding our baby, I’d have tried Fitz’s strangling method on him. It worked on me, it should work on him just fine. I was still chewing on the mischievous plan when he spoke. “You were already headed somewhere when I arrived, right?” “How do I know…

When I arrived home, the place was dead quiet. Had Fitz gone to sleep already? At least, I wouldn’t have to face him feeling like crap. But my sigh of relief was short-lived when my gaze fell on his form at the dining table after I had put my bag down. I was so stunned…

“I can’t believe you of all people could do this to me, Karen!” I shouted, filled with overflowing fury. “What are you talking about, Em?” “That outrageous stunt!” I spat at her, pointing to the TV set. “Hold it, Em. You think I had something to do with that?” “You brought up the ridiculous idea…

Rose opened the door with her usual beaming smile spread across her face. She was such a sight for sore eyes. She started rambling about what a doll my baby was and how she wished I was home with her. I was so glad she was around to take care of her. When I entered…

I sat quietly; brooding over what Fitz has said whiles Karen went on and on how inconsiderate and monstrous Fitz Daniels was and what a big mistake it was that I married him against her better judgment and how she was not going to allow him to ruin my life completely. My own worried thoughts…

I opened the door as quietly as I could, praying that Karen would be either asleep or not in the room at all as I entered stealthily. But lo and behold, there she sat with her not-amused face and I knew she would have me for toast that day. I closed the door and wore…

“Here is the girl who returns from the dead to take my girlfriend from me,” James announced when he entered the room. We both chuckled. “Hi James,” I said. “Aren’t you going to give me a hug so I can tell if you’re alive for real?” He said, opening his arms. I got up and…

His tall slender legs carried him swiftly through the corridors of the hospital. Adrenaline pumping, his mind racing, heart racing, and voices in his head screaming: EMILY’S ALIVE! How was that even possible? Karen said it was a long story. Was she mistaken for dead after her childbirth and later found alive in the morgue?…

“It’s not what you think…” Fitz began lamely. That sparked Karen off as she stood up with her hands still holding on to Emily’s hands for dear life. “You have absolutely no idea what I’m thinking right now, Fitz,” she said, spewing his name in disdain. “Listen to me…” “I have nothing to say to…
