A bad scare

Although I was a bit uncomfortable with A and Vince reconnecting in the apartment, I’m glad that Vince is getting to speak with other people other than myself and all the coworkers I have. I knew that neither one of them would break the confidences that I have in each of them but still felt weird having them together.

I decided to go back to the PD to clean my messy office. I go through all the papers that I’ve had laying around and in my desk that I’ve had for several years. After deciding that the papers weren’t important enough to keep, I shred the pile; it took about an hour and a half! I got rid of the yearly calendars that I had as well as candy wrappers, Styrofoam cups and dead plants.

By the time, I had sorted out on what to keep; I had a 5 gallon garbage can filled to be tossed in the dumpster.  I dusted the desk, computer and printer; taking off several inches of dust off the top of the printer. 

“Hey, Deppgrl!” Al said as he was walking past.

“Hey, Al. Just doing some cleaning,” I said.

“I haven’t seen you clean in a few years. What’s up? Not like I mind the clean area and desk or anything…...” Al said.

“My ex fiancée is apparently friends with my husband and they’re both in the apartment. Let’s just say that I’m a bit uncomfortable so I came here. Once I got here, I figured that I might as well clean,” I said.

Al nodded his head and just went on his way. He was good like that; not prying into someone’s life. I left and headed back to the apartment. Once inside, A was gone and Vince was in the office on the computer.

I went over and let him know I was home. After kissing him, I went into the kitchen and drank half a gallon of orange juice; something that I normally wouldn’t do since I don’t like the stuff.

All of a sudden I started having the WORST stomach cramps of all times. It was worse than any stomach bug I’d ever had.

“Babe?” I screamed. “Call me an ambulance. I need to get to the ER!”

Vince came rushing in as he was calling the local emergency squad. He was as white as a ghost.
