EXCERPT
Caroline Williams rubbed her hands together as she stepped out of the elevator. "Take a deep breath, you can do this." She muttered.
She didn't know what to think of herself visiting a man in a hotel room on a Friday night, but this wasn't just any man. This was Jack Albert, the man she had slowly fallen in love with in the past month. She wondered how she could fall for a man she didn't even know that much. All she knew was that he was a regular customer at Maddie's Diner, the place where she worked as a waitress. He hadn't noticed her until the day before, and now, here she was. She knew she was crossing the boundaries she had set for herself. She shouldn't be alone with a man in an enclosed place, not to talk of a hotel room, but one problem she had was saying no to people. She found it hard to disappoint people; that was why she said yes to Jack's pleas even when she knew she shouldn't have. She just needed to know the reason he called her here. She’d be very careful. If he tried anything funny, she'd leave immediately.
Walking down the corridor and throwing glances at the numbers written above each door, Caroline came to a halt at the door to room 542. This was it. She slowly inhaled, counted one to three, slowly exhaled and knocked. Seconds later, the door opened and there he was. The man who had filled her thoughts for weeks now, only a few feet separating them.
"You came." His smile made her blush.
"Yeah. I did." She tried not to let her nervousness show.
He slowly scanned her from head to toe. Was he ogling her? She was happy but didn't let it show.
"Come in." He opened the door wider.
Caroline stepped in and he shut the door. Jack's masculine scent filled the room.
He moved closer to her, a little closer than necessary. Biting his lip, he scanned her face, his gaze lingering on her lips. She gave him a tense smile; this was awkward. She attempted to break the silence.
"So, why did you invi—" He kissed her, cutting her off. She was shocked but slowly regained composure.
"Wait." She pulled away. "Aren't you married?" This was the point where she should leave.
"Of course not." He kissed her again, weakening her resolve.
This was wrong. This wasn't love. She placed her hands on his chest in an attempt to push him away, but his fast heartbeat spoke the words he hadn't. He wanted her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and returned the kiss, letting out all the feelings she had tried hard to subdue in the past month. Lost in the moment and not regarding the consequences of their actions, they sinned against their very own bodies.
***
Someone was sobbing, or was she dreaming? Caroline opened her eyes to find the space beside her empty. The sobs continued. It had to be Jack. She looked around the room, wondering where the sobs were coming from. He was nowhere to be found.
More sobs.
Perhaps, he was in the bathroom. She slipped into her sweater-gown which was lying on the floor and headed to the bathroom, the sobs, getting louder as she approached.
"Jack, are you alright?"
No answer.
"Jack?"
No answer.
"I'm coming in."
She opened the door and there he was, hunched by the sink.
"Hey." She gave his shoulder a gentle squeeze. "What's wrong?"
He looked at her, pain evident in his eyes. "I'm sorry Caroline."
Sorry? Why was he sorry? Was he planning to dump her? She cringed at the thought. No, he couldn't. They both enjoyed last night, so what could he be sorry about?
"Sorry about what?"
He held her hands and sobbed harder. "I'm so sorry."
Was he apologizing because he had deflowered her?
"Hey." She said, "No need to apologize, I wanted it as much as you did."
"No. You don't understand."
"Then make me understand," Her voice broke. "Please."
"I'm married."
No, she didn't hear that right. "Come again, please."
"I'm married." His guilt was evident in his eyes.
"What? You lied to me."
"I'm sorry." He said.
If he had stabbed her and twisted the knife inside her, the pain would have been more bearable than what she was feeling.
"That's not all." He avoided eye contact.
What could be worse than what he'd just told her?
"I'm the senior pastor at Shalom Youth Ministry."
Caroline screamed.
"I'm sorry, Caroline" He reached for her face.
"Don't touch me." She barked, causing him to cringe. With tears running down her cheeks, she started out of the bathroom. When he held her hand, she turned and slapped him hard.
"I never want to see you again. Don't call, don't text"
"Carol—"
"Just stay away from me, Pastor." She laid more emphasis on the last word and stormed out of the bathroom. Ignoring his pleas, she picked up her bag and left the hotel room.
Caroline couldn’t control the tears as she walked down the hallway and boarded the elevator. Thankful that no one was in, she leaned on the wall and wept.
She wept because she had committed adultery.
She wept because she had lost her virginity to a man who didn’t deserve it. She felt so cheap.
She wept because she had fallen in love with a man she could never be with.
