Brian
That felt really good. A weight had been lifted off my chest. I looked around the house. It was full of packed boxes. My entire house was packed up, ready to sell.
Tomorrow I will move the rest of this stuff to storage and then move in with my mom. I need her support right now. My therapist said I needed to surround myself with people I trusted. My mom was the only person I truly trusted.
Savvy’s been gone for six weeks. I’ve still been trying to call her, but I am pretty sure I am completely blocked. She blocked me on all her social media accounts too. I was worried about her. I needed to find her. I sat on my loveseat. The only furniture left in the house. I’ve also been sleeping on it. It’s a little cramped, but I didn’t care.
I closed my eyes and leaned my head on the back of the couch. I was fired for missing too much work. I had little savings, but the sale of the house will help. I needed to find Savvy, win her back and then find a job. H*ll I’d move to wherever she is and start fresh there with her.
Think, think, think, how can I find her? I tried calling Nicole, but she’s not answering any of my calls. I thought I was making progress there, explaining to her all I was doing to improve myself. Where was she at? All my calls have been going to voicemail.
My stomach growled. I sighed and got up. I grabbed my truck keys and wallet and drove to KFC. That sounded so good right now. I didn’t care about my eating habits at the moment.
I was in line when a friend of mine, Jeff, called my name. I looked over my shoulder and saw him at a table. I waved and held up a finger and he nodded. After getting my food, I walked over to him and sat down.
“Hey buddy, I haven’t seen you in some time,” I said to him.
“Yeah, not since your birthday. The dinner Savvy threw for you was excellent. How is she doing?”
“Oh, um we got divorced.”
“What? But you guys are perfect together.”
“Yea, well, I f*cked up. Bad.”
“Another woman?”
I nodded.
“That sucks man. I’m so sorry.”
“Thanks. But I am working on myself, and I am hoping to see her again. Nicole has been guarding her whereabouts like a pitbull.”
Jeff's eyes widened.
“ I know where your wife, uhh ex-wife is.”
“What? How?”
“Nicole asked for a leave of absence. She wanted to go to Hollywood, Florida. She said she would write about it and I could publish it in my magazine. But I couldn’t let her go. Someone else had asked for leave just before she did. But she didn’t take no for an answer and she up and quit.”
“Holy sh*t? No way Nicole would quit unless it was for something important. Like seeing her best friend.” F*ck Yes! This was the break I needed. Now I just needed to find exactly where in Hollywood, Florida. I’ll leave right after I sell my house. I’ll walk all around the town until I find her.
“Thanks man. I needed this.”
“No problem. I hope you find your girl.”
I nodded and smiled at him. We both dug into our meals and talked about mundane things. But in the back of my mind, I was giddy. I’m coming to find you my love. I will win you back.
Five days later, I got an offer on my house. It was for cash and just thirty thousand under the asking price. After paying off the house, that’ll leave me with twenty-five grand. It should be enough, until I find Savvy.
I called my therapist. I wasn’t going to meet with him anymore, since I wouldn’t be in Montana.
“Hello, Brian. Do you need a session so soon? We just talked two days ago.”
“No, Dr. Phillips. I am calling you to let you know I no longer need your services. I am moving to Florida to try and get my wife back.”
“Do you think that’s a good idea, Brian? You’ve just gotten divorced. Her pain is still raw. You said that Sherry sent her a s*x recording of the two of you. That’s going to be fresh in her mind. It’s only been six weeks.”
“You’re right, but I need to do this. I won’t make contact right away if I find her. It’s a big area, right? I’m sure it’s going to take me a while to find her. It’ll be fine.”
“Brian, I don’t think you should do this,” Doctor Phillips said.
“Well, I am. Thank you for your service.”
I hung up.
I was excited, so I went to tell my mom the good news.
“Mom, I sold my house. Once I get the check, I’m moving to Florida. Do you want to come with me?”
“Florida? Why?”
“That’s where Savvy is.”
“Brian, what? Did you talk to her? Are you getting back together? I haven’t heard from her since she left. I miss her so much.”
“No, I haven’t talked to her. But I ran into an old friend and Nicole worked for him. She wanted to leave to go to Florida. Why else would she go to Florida if not for Savvy?”
“Maybe she just wants to visit Florida, Brian.”
“No, it has to be for Savvy. So, do you want to go?”
“No, Brian. If you find her, maybe I’ll come visit,” she said, giving me a small smile. She missed Savvy as much as I did. I was going to find her not just for me, but for my mom too.
I couldn’t wait for this house stuff to be done with and have that check in my hand. Once I do, I’ll be on the road to getting my love back.
The couple buying my house was pissing me off. Who takes a vacation for two weeks when you are buying a house? I’ve been going crazy trying to get this deal done. I haven’t seen my girl in two months. Two f*cking months. Anything could happen to her. She’s so innocent and sweet, I don’t want to see anyone taking advantage of her. I wonder what she was doing for work. Was she able to find a job as a personal trainer? I hope she does. That’ll give me an in, to work where she does.
Sherry won’t get a clue and leave me alone. She started texting me daily and when I blocked her number, she got another number, and started texting me again. She’s claiming she is pregnant, but I know that’s a lie. I saw her take that pill. There’s no f*cking way she’s pregnant. Unless the pill didn’t work? No, I refuse to believe that.
My phone chimed and saw I had a message from Jeff.
“Hey, Nicole posted this photo on I*sta, she’s definitely with your wife.”
He sent a link and I clicked on it. I inhaled sharply, she looked magnificent. She’s gained some weight, but it looked really good on her. She was more curvaceous but still had a flat stomach. I looked at the picture as a whole. Savvy was in the middle of two men, both tall and muscular. They were wearing swim shorts. Nicole was standing next to them, with two more girls next to her, a guy next to them with a cute pudgy girl in his arms. They were all at the beach. It looked like a bonfire party was going on. All the girls were wearing small bikinis except for the pudgy girl. She was in a one piece. I didn’t like how the men were looking down at Savvy, I could tell they were looking at her t*ts. Their hands were crossed behind her, each of them touching the other on their shoulders. She had her arms around them and the smile she had was breathtaking.
Maybe these were people she just met. She looked happy, she did make friends easily. More than likely, they were just friends. But still I didn’t like the looks on their faces. When I got there I will make sure to let them know she was mine.
I looked at her again. So beautiful. Soon baby, I’ll be there soon.
