Unfaithful

Part 9: He's married?

Weeks have passed, Gerry buried himself with work and so did Katrina. From time to time, Gerry would attempt to leave a voicemail for her but then loses the courage. Katrina still thinks about Gerry, how she wants to visit him but she doesn't know his address.

One day, Katrina thought of finding where Gerry lives and planned to surprise him. She called up her friend, Matt, whose father is a private investigator.

"Hey, Matt, can I ask you a favor?" She said.

"Yeah, what is it?" Matt said.

"I need you to find someone for me." She said.

"You're hunting for guys now? I thought guys hunt YOU." He joked.

"I'm serious, Matt. I've been seeing this guy before and we sort of drifted away and I want to surprise him, you know.... But I only know his first name and that he lives in New York." She explained.

"Oh...okay. What's his name? Do you know what he does for a living?" He asked.

"Gerry and he manages this restaurant in Las Vegas, It's called The Sandbox." She remembered.

"Okay. I'll talk to my dad and I'll get back to you the day after tomorrow." He said.

"Thanks, Matt, I owe you." And dropped the call.

She waited patiently for Matt's call. She continued on with editing her works, finishing shoots and occasionally would drink on her own.

Matt was Katrina's good friend from high school. He used to like her but realized she wasn't that into him.

"I've got it." Matt's dad said to him as he entered Matt's office.

"Good. Let me see." Matt said as his dad handed him a folder containing two pieces of paper.

Matt examined what was written on it. He was completely stunned at what he saw.

"Who is this guy anyway?" His dad asked.

"Just something for a friend" he said without looking at his dad.

He's married?

Does she know?

She only asked for his address though. Maybe she knows.

He thought.

He called Katrina right away.

"Matt! You got something for me?" Katrina said. She sounded ecstatic.

"Uh, yeah." Matt said. He was feeling uneasy.

"I'll text you his address." Matt said and ended the call.

Katrina received the text shortly after the call from Matt. She decided to go tomorrow since it was a Sunday thinking that maybe he's home and off work.

Lucy decided to go back to Gerry's house to pick up a few things. She left Lucas at her mom's.

When she arrived there, Gerry wasn't home. He still leaves the keys under the flower pots. She kinda misses him.

Katrina got off the taxi and noticed this huge house in front of her. Kind of like a mansion, even. She walked up and gathered all of her courage before knocking on the door.

Lucy was almost finished packing their stuff. She later called on the movers after she finished with the packing. She couldn't wait to get out of that house. She still loved him but she wanted to be free from him and have time to fulfill her dreams like she planned.

Lucy heard a knock on the door.

"The movers got here fast." She thought.

She went down, gathered her carry-ons and opened the door to see the movers.

Katrina was surprised when she saw someone other than Gerry answering the door.

Must be the maid.

No, she's too pretty.

Maybe his sister or some kind of relative.

No, I think he lives alone.

Thoughts were running through her head like a coyote. She couldn't open her mouth.

"Hi, uh, can I help you?" Lucy asked. She was examining her from head to toe.

"Yeah, uh, I think I got the wrong house." Katrina said, scratching her head.

"Who is it you're looking for?" Lucy asked.

"Gerry?" Katrina finally let it out.

"Oh, he's not here." Lucy said.

"Well, thanks." Katrina hurriedly got down the front steps.

"Wait." Lucy shouted.

"I think I know you." She continued.

"What?" Katrina said.

"You must be the one that he's seeing." Lucy said.

Katrina didn't know how to respond to what Lucy said.

"Uh, I think...I am the one he's seeing. Well used to.." She said. She was hoping it was her. Maybe Gerry is seeing someone new now.

"You're a bit younger than I expected." Lucy added.

"I'm sorry, I'm Katrina." Katrina introduced herself. It was getting pretty awkward.

"Lucy." Lucy said and handed her hand.

"You're Gerry's relative?" She asked.

"Uh, not technically......"

Katrina gave her a questioning look.

"I'm his wife."
