*************************************************************************************
Intro from 15B: David is on his way to England and finds himself in a conversation with Olivia. She clarifies some of the mystery surrounding her past behaviour. He is considering where he wants to go next with his life after the debacle of his homecoming.
A hoped for new beginning.
The first change he thought of was to stop going on the follow up adventures and let others who were qualified get on with it. He felt now that he should only be involved to sign off the schemes when the plans and investigations were complete. He needed to stop involving himself in the initial progress work. His second thought was to organise someone qualified to do regular staff health checks. He would have to talk to the others but it made sense, particularly if they could get a block deal and it could be done with complete privacy. Nothing was unsolvable he decided and then looked at Olivia and wondered.
***********************************************************
Back in the States, organised chaos ensued, three mothers couldn't stop thinking of their babies and crying, then they would get angry and rush around packing. They tried to get Honor back with the plane quickly but she was on her way to Florida. It had been a ruse, yes there were women to be moved but it wasn't urgent and it had backfired. Honor wasn't sure who to believe,in the end she called David's grandmother. That lady listened carefully then said "You are first and foremost under David's authority, but let me quickly speak to Jane and David first. In the meantime we are happy to keep the women here, we have room enough for a while, so turn around and head back if you have enough fuel."
She rang Jane first and got the whole story and came off the phone literally giggling with glee, thinking 'if only I had had the guts to do something like that to my husband.' But, then she called David, realising that he was her grandson and the light of her life now, so she had to be right with her loyalties. After pleasantries, she gave him both barrels, all the sage advice she could muster over the phone.
At the other end, after the call, David resolved to take all of his problems to her in future when he got back, she always seemed to be able to cut through the fog.
*********************************************************************
The call refreshed his mind and something made him say to Olivia, "I think you love Daniel, I'm surprised you can give him up. I've known for a long time that I was a disappointment for you." She looked completely off guard and then another thought hit him. "How long had you been having an affair with the guy you sat next to at the conference?"
Until then, Olivia had been congratulating herself on avoiding several pitfalls. Now she is dumbfounded, 'Where did all that come from? Especially that last accusation?' She decided to avoid it as if she thought he was joking. "Why on earth do you think I love Daniel?"
"I knew there was something special between the two of you when you greeted him at the door for one of our parties. It was the kind of greeting that a woman gives her true love when he's been away for a while. You had no conscience about the disrespect, insulting and demeaning way you were treating me. It was obvious to me then that I didn't matter to you but for a long while I couldn't accept it. Then you reinforced your attitude by fucking him in my house and rounded that off by completely forgetting about me." As he now turned his head to face her he felt no pleasure in her horror that he had known these things all along. Even as she realised, he thought he saw her mind working fast, 'trying to spin it' he thought.
"Even today you are trying to pretend and I can't figure out why. Whatever your planning, don't even think of taking the baby."
"David, we just had a long conversation and you gave me the impression that we would try to work together. What did I say to bring this on?"
"My mind has been in a fog and the last thing I have been thinking about is you. Then I am being forced to think about you and it's not always easy to recall bad memories on the spur of the moment, especially when there are more important matters on my mind. The trouble is that you have too high an opinion of your deviousness and lying. You have always assumed that because I don't react to something that I have missed it, ignored it, or just forgiven you. I can assure you that's never been the case. As I said to Jane once, "What has always surprised me is that you are so intelligent yet you totally underestimate me."
"The only thing I am ever fully persuaded by are things I find out or see for myself, like that greeting of Daniel. That night I seriously thought of divorcing you there and then. You had had a near miss in the Ana incidents but the explanations were so unlikely they were laughable. Normal women who truly love their husband but get caught in an indiscretion go to extremes afterwards to assure their husband that they love them and take steps to ensure it doesn't happen again. Not you, you were just well, to be honest, fucking stupid. The only explanation is that you hated me and were looking for something more exciting that would get you away from me."
"Please don't blame it on your condition, you were having affairs before we decided to go for a baby so that was proof enough. You were so sure that I was too block headed to notice all the little signs and changes in your behaviour. Really Olivia, I expected better of you but like I say, you're not as clever as you think you are."
He thought he could see her starting to tear up so quickly stated, "Don't bother to cry, I won't believe what I see. I suggest you spend as much time as you can with Sean while you are still able."
"But if I was so bad, why did you keep me with you?"
"That little chap back there." He looked back affectionately. "I promised my Mum and Dad I'd make them grandparents, they adored and loved you. How could I disappoint them after all the sacrifices they made for me through University? I owe them so much, look at all the support they gave us when we first started out. I couldn't tell them about what you are, it would have broken their hearts. But now they can't not know, as they have at least four grandchildren. They love them all and this trip is about them spending time with the little ones as much as anything else, they so want to show them off to the extended family."
"And now! Why can't we try to work together, what did I do wrong now?"
"Tell me how much have you given time to consider what you have done to anyone else? It was so hard for you not to grab that document from me, wasn't it? Do you even remember what you did to me on the day of the Truth or Dare party? Be honest now because that was a pivotal day in our lives."
Her head dropped, there was nothing she could say, "I am just a totally selfish slut David. I was not worthy of your love and was too stupid to control my sluttiness, there's no two ways about it."
"Bravo," he clapped, "If in doubt, throw yourself on the sword. These days it has to be a gun so you'll have to wait until we get back to the States."
He thought for a while and then a smile crossed his face without touching his eyes. "Maybe I should keep you on as a company sex slave. I am thinking about employing more men so perhaps I could offer you as a perk, they could use you on their breaks, how does that sound?" He dripped sarcasm.
They lapsed into silence.
"We are getting near London soon Olivia, so I will be saying a final goodbye soon. He reached into his case and pulled out Daniel's file. I know you coached him for the job and helped prepare his resume. You really should not have disappointed Arthur, nothing you have done is a secret now."
Her face lost colour as she again realised everything had gone wrong.
"Until recently, I couldn't understand why you married me, it didn't make sense. "Then one day Ana let slip that you had checked me out and found out a great deal about my family. Still, there was nothing in the pipeline for me in the near future and as far as you were concerned I was just a shy, naïve, ignorant young man who was good in the sack but otherwise about as much fun as a wet weekend. You decided though that I was a good investment, you would stick with boring old me whilst you had your regular affairs but keep me in the dark about what you really are. You had it all planned out, even tried to get me to let you have your affairs with me present. Jeeze! How disrespectful could any woman be to a man, but you don't care do you and the evidence built up."
"Well, they say that you reap what you sow and you're getting just what you deserve. You chose a boy who can't get a job on his own, no money, no home, nothing. I have every disrespectful, hurtful, disgusting thing you've ever done recorded on video and sound. We have pulled together affidavits from your past lovers before you tried to warn them off. I just hope you have enough money for a flight back. I'll tell you what, if you can work out every time we fucked during our married life when you weren't pretending, I'll give you a dollar for each one, that's about what a slut of your calibre is worth in my view. Maybe we should deduct all the times you have had sex with someone else during our years when we were supposed to be an exclusive couple. Hmm, that might leave a negative."
She looked him straight in the face, "You wouldn't do that to me, we love each other too much and you have hardly been an angel."
He laughed at her bravado, she was never short of a comeback and it was one of the big day to day elements of their former life that he missed. "Maybe I will yet find an opening for a part time slut whore." He left off for a moment and pretended to think before saying sarcastically. "But ohh dear! The job requirement is exclusivity, the slut isn't allowed to have sex with anyone else. What a shame that leaves you out of the running then." She gave him one of her usual smiles as if she was reading his mind.
"You can start with taking your panties off, we'll see if the other passengers enjoy watching you fuck yourself."
"You want to denigrate me? What more could you do to me that I haven't done to myself?"
