THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR
I have no idea what just happened. We spent a wonderful evening together; he traveled nearly six hours to be with me, so why would he suddenly abandon me in the morning?My bruised lips and aching body keep bringing me back to him as I attempt to concentrate on Lucas' morning ritual. Just the boy and I today; we won't be doing much of anything. While Lucas finishes his breakfast, I check my phone and hear a message from Kerry. When I hit play, I make sure Lucas can't hear: "Hellooooo Darcy, we miss you tonight. We're both tired of this nonsense and want to get back to our regular lives, but who is Rory anyway?As I let out a hearty chortle, a wave of relaxation washes over me. I can't wait to see my old pals again; I've missed them so much. And I expect I'll need them much more now that Kiran's gone. After a long day, I'm looking forward to calling Saika to catch up and end this affair talk.After barely getting a few hours of sleep, I'm concerned about Rory making the long drive home
THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE
I nod. These falsehoods just keep on coming. "Yeah, obviously, six hours is a lengthy drive. I feel like I've missed out on weeks of your life, so fill me in.When I ask her how she is doing, she chuckles. The most interesting thing I can say is that I won Lazor Quest.I chuckle to myself as I can't believe I didn't participate in the Lazor quest. When we were tipsy, we did this rather frequently. After a few beers, it was hilarious to use the site since Ben knew someone who worked there and would allow us to use it if we tipped him. The last time I visited, around a year ago, I believed I had broken my wrist while reenacting Mission: Impossible after 5 gins, but it turned out to only be sprained.It was great chatting with my closest buddy again; we picked up exactly where we left off, planning to have lunch with Lucas the following day. I, really, really hope she doesn't find out I'm still talking to Rory.Since I haven't heard from Rory in over a week, I don't believe I need to wor
THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER THIRTY SIX
I waited for Kiran to pick me up since we had planned to eat together. It had been over two weeks, and I still felt horrible for Rory. During those two weeks, my thoughts about him increased in frequency and intensity to the point that they drove me insane.Kiran came on time and was again dressed to impress; he had clearly put in a lot of work with his well-tailored slacks and shirt, and I felt horrible that I had only thrown on some thin jeans and a nice top.As I turn to shut the front door, I tell him, "If I had known you were making such an effort, I would have dressed up."You look fantastic," he says in response. A moment later, he's at the car, door open, and ready to let me in.As I jump in, the unfamiliarity of the automobile hits me. Usually, this was the car we took on lengthy trips since it was roomier and more well-equipped than mine, but today it seemed foreign and unfamiliar. All we can talk about to go to the restaurant is Lucas, just like a pair of total strangers on
THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN
I desperately needed someone to pick me up, so when Saika and Kerry suggested a night out with the girls, I leaped at the opportunity. It had been a long time since we had been without a significant other, and I was looking forward to the opportunity to dull my senses and temporarily put Rory out of my mind.When the taxi pulls up, I eagerly get in it and smile. I cannot express how excited I am for this evening out. I just bought some really lovely new clothing that makes me feel amazing, and since I don't have a child to tend to first thing in the morning, I don't have to worry about how I'm going to pay for it tomorrow.Before the cab pulls up, I look over and notice Saika and Kerry resting against the pub wall. They are both engrossed in their mobile devices, so they are unaware when I pull up next to them."Hey, you biatchs!" I yell as I exit the building.They both gaze upward and smile at one another. "Oh my gosh, you are such a hunk! " Saika says, and I give them a little whir
THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT
The morning following the night before! The hangover is making my life a living hell, and I feel I need to be hooked up to an IV drip indefinitely. I had heard about this hangover club in the United States, where you could make a call, and a nurse would come to treat your hangover. I even googled it; however, I could not discover anything nearby that provided this service.After that, the flashes begin. The first one that comes to mind is when I saw someone dancing in the middle of the street to a busker; I thought he was quite excellent.After that, I began to wonder how I managed to pay for the taxi. I thank the Lord that the Scot left before I got too inebriated because I shudder to think about what would have transpired if he had remained there. At this very time, I cannot recall the latter half of the night, but the fact that I have to put on my Ray-Bans to open the curtains indicates that it was a fantastic evening.As I look around the room, I mutter, "Shit, my phone." Finally,
THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER THIRTY NINE
When I get home in the afternoon, the loud knock on my door causes me to jump out of my skin. When I hear a noise outside, my immediate reaction is to go to the door, and in my haste, I don't even think about what might be hiding behind it when I open it."Oh my god, Darcy, thank god. I have an important question for you. It's Kerry, and she looks dreadful."What exactly is it?" Please do so." I drag her inside my home despite her trembling and showing clear signs that she has been crying. I'll ask her again as soon as she settles down on the couch. "What's the matter?"It is the first time I have ever seen her cry like that. She makes the shocking revelation, "I'm fucking pregnant."I can't believe she could be that ignorant; how could she? I really need to know. Whose child is this, exactly? It may be Johns or some arsehole she saw on and off a few months ago, but it depends on how far along she is in her pregnancy. From what I'd heard and seen, I couldn't imagine either being a sui
THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER FORTY
After pretending to look through the trunk for ten minutes, I wipe my eyes and then enter the key's security code. Since Kerry is still talking on the phone in the car, I unlock the door for myself and then proceed into the house to wash my face. I was startled when I heard someone knock on the door, and when I opened it, I was expecting to see Kerry, but it was Rory instead. He is now only wearing a t-shirt as he enters the restroom, where he immediately closes the door behind him and does not utter a word.I veer my gaze away from his eyes and return my attention to the sink.He speaks to me as he lightly places his hand on my arm and says, "Hey." I shrug it off in a combative manner."Let me explain."“Why? I have nothing to do with what you do because I thought I was the only one who cheated."Jennifer and I have been together for the past two years, and just like you, I couldn't stop this. You know better than anyone else how difficult it is to have the same circumstances as we d
THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER FORTY ONE
I had hoped that it was Kerry since then. I wouldn't have to deal with as much drama, but as the car pulls up in front of Rory's house, I'm quite confident that it's not her.“Rory, I overhear you whispering, "I suppose it's your girlfriend." Jennifer exits the vehicle and walks up to the front door of his house to enter. I can hear Rory mumbling as he pokes his head around the corner.I come to a standstill in the hot tub before beginning my ascent. I invite him inside and tell him, "Come in here. She will assume you're someplace about the property."I make a hasty entrance into the cottage, and Rory follows close behind. While I am skipping in front of him and playfully catching his hands, he squeezes my bottom. While the two of us are laughing, he picks me up and carries me over to the leather sofa."What exactly are you up to?" I inquire as our faces come closer together.He responds with a soft murmur, "Kissing you if that's okay."I give him a slight nod and draw closer to kiss
