Simply Irresistible...Love
So here it is my new story!!!
The picture is of Clary.
Chapter 1
As I entered the house everything was quiet. It wasn't unusual as it was always quiet this time of day. Tyler being at work and me being in the restaurant most of the day. Although this time Tyler was in New York on business and wouldn't be back until the next day. Carrying my shopping bags upstairs I opened my bedroom door and I felt as if my heart had been ripped out of my chest. There on the bed was Tyler, my husband, with another woman...
Nothing would have prepared me for this, I thought. I wanted to go up to him and shake him out of his peaceful sleep, but I wouldn't cause a scene. With my heart breaking I backed out of the room and ran downstairs. Once there I got my car keys and went to the garage. I hit the alarm to unlock it and it thundered through the house. I also opened the garage door, but before I got to the car I lost my stomach contents on the floor. It took me a while to open the door with my eyes blurry from my tears; it also took me three tries to get the key in the ignition. As I hit the gas, I pushed the button to open the front gate. I was half way to the gate when Tyler came out of the house. I hit more of the gas and was out of the gate and into the street before he could stop me.

I drove around aimlessly for a couple of hours. I was turning on a street when I saw a street I recognized. I didn't know if I drove there on purpose or without thinking. I parked my car and got out and went into the restaurant. Suddenly a calmness I hadn't felt hit me. The smells where the first thing I noticed. Everything from meats cooking to soups and desserts. I walked towards the kitchen where a female voice was ordering people around.
I walked in and immediately saw my mother in the middle of the kitchen. Hands on hips and a chefs hat covering her long blonde hair. Without turning she yelled, "Carrie take that tray to table five."
"You know, you should at least say please, or turn around to see if your talking to the right person." I told her. She turned around with a delighted cry and walked over to me.
"Well if I had known that my daughter was here I would have yelled your name instead." She said giving me a hug and kiss. "What are you doing here?"
"What can't a daughter surprise her mother at work?" I retorted.
"Of course she can. Really what's wrong? You've been crying." She said cupping my face.
"No questions." I told her, seeing her open her mouth to say something, "Please." I told her.
"Okay. But now that your here you can help me." She turned around and handed me a tray. "Take these to table 3."
We worked all day until we closed. Then it was only me and her. She grabbed my hand and took me to her office, sat me in a chair and sat in front of me.
"Now are you going to tell me what's wrong?" she said.
"Itīs nothing." I answered her lowering my head.
"Don't tell me its nothing." She told me raising my face to hers. "Your eyes tell me something's wrong."
"I...I'm leaving Tyler." I told her suddenly, lowering my eyes. Her gasp of surprise made me snap my head up to look at her.
"What? Why? What happened?" she said.
"I just can't be with him anymore." I didn't want her to know what I had seen.
"But you were so happy, what aren't you telling me? And don't you dare lie to me." She said.
"I saw him with another woman." I blurted out quickly.
"What! Oh honey, come here." She said hugging me to her. That's when I finally let the tears come. "Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry." She said hugging me tighter. Suddenly the door opened and in came my father. He didnīt look his age at 6'2, with a powerful build and only a little gray around his temples.
"What's going on?" he said. My mom reached behind her to grab some tissues and handed them to me.
"It's girl stuff, dad." I told him turning and giving him a hug and kiss.
"Didn't look like such a girl thing." He told me grabbing my shoulders and looking straight into my eyes. "Somethingīs wrong, what is it?"
"Not now Gage." My mother said. "Honey, why don't you go home and Clary and me will leave in her car?"
"Fine, but I want to know whatīs going on once we get there." He said turning around and leaving.
"Please donīt tell him anything. At least not right now." I told my mom.
"Heīs going to find out sometime and heīs not going to like it." She said.
"Please?" I begged her.
"Okay. Letīs go." She said we locked the restaurant and left to her house.
I don't know when but I fell asleep in the car and when I woke up, I was being carried by my dad into the house and onto my old bedroom. Once my head hit the pillow I was out. I woke up to a light feathery touch and when I opened my eyes I saw Tyler...
