Welcome to this weeks Tuesday Tales to the word prompt Spider. Pia has gotten herself into some situation. And it continues...
Pia’s heart palpitated as she ran to her car. The two
envelopes dug into her butt cheeks so badly, she had to pull over a few blocks
away from her house. Releasing the
button on the side of the seat, she pushed it back in order to lean forward and
grabbed the two envelopes out of her pants, placing them on the dashboard
facing her.
Fifteen minutes later, she still stared at the two envelopes
marked Mr. and Mrs. Larry Wildes.
Glancing up at the windshield, she spotted a black spider the size of a
quarter staring down at her. Pia blinked her eyes and shook her head, hoping the spider wasn’t a bad sign.
Reaching for the first envelope, she opened the flap and
slipped the papers out. Her eyes
scanned down the page. By the time
she got to the end, the papers fell from her hands. “That bastard,” she screamed, banging her hands on the
steering wheel. Returning to the first page, she read again, Life Insurance Policy Pia Wildes. Flipping through the papers, she
stopped and read the heading of the second set of stapled papers, Life
Insurance Policy for Lawrence Wildes.
Pia took a deep breath. She reached out for the second envelope still sitting on the
dashboard. Her heart raced as she
slid the single paper out of the envelope, Certificate of Marriage in the State
of Nevada. That paper also dropped
from her hand. This was a
nightmare in the making. How could
she have been so stupid in not following up on this from day one? Choosing to ignore things was going to
make it harder to annul the marriage.
Lorenzo would be home from his road trip in a week and a
half, so time would be limited.
She needed help. Pulling
her car seat back up, she reattached her seatbelt and drove to her best friend
Lisa’s house. After Lisa got over
the initial shock, she would ball her out for keeping something like this from
her, and then she would march into action to help her.
Pia walked around back and knocked on the back door. Lisa opened the door and hugged her.
“What’s wrong?
You are so pale and your right eye is twitching.”
“I have a big problem.” Pia handed her the envelopes. “I’m married and I need your help to get me out of it.
Now THAT is how you start a conversation with your friend, lol!
ReplyDeleteI love the twists happening in this story. Lorenzo is going to have a big surprise, I'm afraid. I hope she doesn't lose him. I love them together.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap that's a shock. I hope she can get out of the drug induced marriage before Lorenzo finds out. If he does he'd better stand by his woman to the end.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness you know how to throw in a curveball, right?
ReplyDeleteThat's what friends are for...hearing you out and getting you out of bad situations...I just hope Lisa can help her!
ReplyDeleteNow that's an interesting situation! LOL. I doubt that getting out of it is going to be too easy, but it will be interesting to read about!
ReplyDeleteWOW-- what a surprise!!
ReplyDeleteHow will she get out of it. Thank God for best friends no girl should be without one.
ReplyDeleteWow! I didn't expect that! I hope Lisa has a good idea to help her. Great twist!
ReplyDeleteIntersting ! Look forward to next week to find out Lisa's reply to it.
ReplyDeleteNow, there's a way to greet a BFF. :)
ReplyDeleteThe spider was definitely a warning sign for Pia. The spider represented Larry who had spun his spider web to trap Pia into a situation she never thought he would put her in. He is really a heartless person to do something so evil. MJP
