All I Ask Is... Why?

Preparing for this date was like preparing for the biggest concert of my life, like when I found out that we were going to be touring with Metallica. Or a better example would be a fighter preparing for a championship match, or football players preparing for the superbowl... You get the idea. Only I'm more on the side that I really don't want to be doing this right now. Like Evelyn said, the sooner I get this done with Michelle, the better things will be. "I won't be far from you along the way." She tells me as I am getting ready.

"What does that mean?" I really didn't know.

"It means that I will be with you where ever you go, only she won't see me. I just don't want her to be all over you every second of this "date"." Her fingers making the quotation signs around the word date. "Have you called the courthouse to let them know that both you and her were coming in today?"

I nodded at her through my reflection on the mirror in the bedroom. "Yeah, they said as long as we are there before four, then everything will be set and ready to go for us. And if not, then I am screwed until another month from now." Evelyn and I both looked at the clock, it was one-thirty and it takes fifteen minutes to get from here to Johnny's bar. We didn't have much time, so whatever I needed to do, I had to move quick. I quickly finished getting ready and grabbed my car keys. I stopped in my tracks and I kissed Evelyn goodbye before walking out the door and racing to my truck.


By the time I got inside Johnny's bar, the time was already three minutes passed two. It's another twenty minute drive from here to the courthouse with traffic, and the shittiest part of all of this, is Michelle isn't even here yet. I looked all around the bar for ten minutes until she finally walked through the door and spotted me. "Brian!" She called out from across the room. A big smile flashed on her face, her big sunglasses covering her eyes and she was dressed in a short blue overall, a white tank top underneath and blue heels. She also looked like she had lost about ten or fifteen pounds, it made her look really unhealthy. I smiled at her and went over to greet her with a hug. She tried to sneak in a kiss as I pulled away, but I quickly moved away to lead her to a near by table. We had an hour and a half to kill before the leave so it wouldn't hurt to have a drink or two. I sat in the direction where Michelle was sitting across from me, but also to where I could face the door to see if I spot Evelyn coming inside.

"God it is so good to see you again! I've missed you so much baby." Michelle said with a smile and took off her sunglasses. She then gently places her hand on mine and tries to lace her fingers with mine, no matter how hard I try to fight for her not to do so. She giggles as if I am trying to tease her. "You look great. I can see you've been working out more."

"You look good too. Have you lost weight?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Yes I have. I am on the new "powdered sugar" diet." She said in an almost whisper.

That confused me a little, what the hell is a powdered sugar diet? A diet where you eat nothing but powdered sugar all day? That just doesn't make any sense to me. As I tried to figure it out, I looked up quickly to see that Evelyn walks inside with a blonde wig on, as well as a big hat and sunglasses as big as Michelle's. I knew it was her because she looked at me and smiled and waved, plus Mercedes was with her and she couldn't have been any more obvious. Mercedes was wearing a wig with blue hair and she kept peeking out of her Aviators every three seconds and looking around the bar. She gave it away when she smiled at me and waved. I tried to hold back my laugh on those two as they sat down in a booth across the room, so I quickly looked back at Michelle before she even noticed that I wasn't looking at her and laughed a little at whatever it was that she started rambling about.

Her look immediately went to confused. "Brian, my dog dying is not funny."

Shit. "Oh sorry baby. A funny thought just came to mind and I couldn't help but laugh... out loud."

She raised an eyebrow. "Oh really? I want to laugh too. What was so funny?"

"Uuh..." Fuck! I needed to come up with something quick. What never fails to make people laugh? "I was just thinking about the time we were making the All Access video and when Jimmy started chasing the stallion duck." I smiled. I haven't thought about that in a long time. I chuckled a little and when I looked at Michelle, her face was just blank.

"Brian, I've seen that on the internet over a million times. Not only that, but people over do that joke all around the world almost all the time. It's really not that funny anymore."

Michelle never really liked Jimmy to begin with because he used to always call her out on what a bitch she is. Sometimes he meant it in a joking way, but when it came to that, I couldn't really tell when he was joking or not. A couple of times I would get mad at him because she was my girlfriend and I wasn't going to let anyone talk to her like that. But at the same time, there would be times to where she would get a little over dramatic about it. I'm just upset that I didn't see it sooner that he was right. I sighed a little to keep from saying something mean to her. "I'll be right back. Just have to use the men's room." I quickly got up and walked over to the bathroom area and stood in the small hallway. Not only did she offend me a little by what she said, but the thought of Jimmy was already making me realize how much I miss him. I stood in the small hallway, smoking a cigarette to myself for about five minutes until Evelyn showed up.

"Brian, what are you doing?" She almost whispered.

"I needed a smoke break." I said before taking a drag and blowing the smoke away from her.

"What happened? Did she make you mad?" She asked a little concerned.

"I feel more offended than mad, but I will get over it. She just expressed her disliking for Jimmy when I told her about the stallion duck joke." I took another drag and Evelyn giggled a little.

"That was hilarious. Mercedes and I find that funny all the time." She smiled.

I smiled back at her. I started observing her costume, she was wearing a pair of really short shorts with fishnet leggings and a white tube top with straps and black stiletto heels. Not once while we've been dating has she worn anything like this, and it really looks sexy on her. I bit down on my lower lip and smirked at her. "You gonna wear that all day?"

She looked down and observed herself before looking back up at me with a sort of disgusted look. "Eh, probably not. I really don't like it all that much. I might get rid of it once I get back home."

I gently grabbed her by the waist and slowly pulled her closer to me. "No don't. I really like it. Maybe you can get rid of the hat, sunglasses and wig, but everything else I think you should keep."

"Yeah?" She giggled.

"Yeah." I chuckled as I slowly pulled her closer to me, and just as we were about to connect for a kiss, Mercedes quickly rushes over and pulls Evelyn with her into the ladies restroom before mumbling 'she's coming' to me. Evelyn and I quickly let go of each other and they rushed into the restroom. I had to make it look like I was just getting out and that's when I saw her come around the corner.

"Hey you. I was afraid you disappeared on me." She smiled up at me.

"Me? No, there was just a long line." I chuckled.

"Well..." She took a quick look around. "I don't see anyone else around right now. Let's say you and I sneak into the mens room for a quickie." She giggled.

As she tried taking me into the mens room, I quickly resisted and looked at my watch. It was already three thirty. Damn time was on crank today. "Actually, we can get to that later. There is another place I wanted to take you, but it's a surprise."

Her eyes became wide. "Ooh, a surprise? For me? This is exciting."

"Yeah, but you will have to wear a blindfold. I can't risk you seeing where we are going. It will ruin the surprise." I then turned her around and started tying the black silky rag around her eyes as she grew with excitement. The girls quietly made their way out of the ladie's room and around me and Michelle. Evelyn started making a movement like she wanted to attack Michelle, but Mercedes quickly grabbed her and dragged her out of the way. 'CALM DOWN' I mouthed to Evelyn. Mercedes placed her hand over Evelyn's mouth so she wouldn't scream in anger. We started to move out of the place when Mercedes finally had Evelyn calmed down. 'Thanks' I mouthed to Mercedes as I slowly guided Michelle to my truck. "Just out of curiosity Michelle, how did you get here?"

"I took a cab." Perfect.

As I'm guiding her, I made the mistake of guiding her straight into a pole, and face first she hit. A loud gong of the pole was sounded and I tried my best not to laugh. "Oh damn. Are you alright babe?" I said in between laughter.

"That's not funny, Brian!" She barked as she placed one hand on her forehead.

"No it's not. I'm sorry baby." I still couldn't hold back the laugh.

"Just take me to where ever it was you were going to take me!" She was getting pissed off. Perfect, maybe the judge will be able to see why I want to divorce this woman.


I guided her the rest of the way to my truck and began driving. Locking the doors just in case she would try to pull something stupid. The entire time, she was trying to make moves on me. She would squeeze my thigh, run her hand slowly up and down my leg and neck. She even tried giving me a hard on by grabbing at my dick over my pants. I then told her to stop and save it for later, it was the only way I could actually get her to stop. By the time we reached the courthouse, I had about fifteen minutes to get her inside and get everything done and over with. I parked in the front. "We're here. But don't take off the blind fold just yet." I quickly got out and made my way over to her and guided her inside. The lady at the front desk recognized me and knew about the whole surprise divorce appointment. She lead me to the courtroom and quietly left the room so just me, Michelle, and the judge were there. I then removed the blind fold from Michelle's eyes. "Surprise."

She looked around and noticed that we were in the courtroom with a judge. And by the look on her face, she knew sure as hell that we weren't here to get remarried. She then slapped me across the face, her long nails scratching me just a little bit. "BRIAN! WHAT THE HELL?!" She screamed.

"It's obvious you weren't going to come when we all needed you to, so I thought this would be a perfect way to end our date. By getting our divorce over with." I smiled at her, regardless that my right cheek stung like hell due to her slap.



After twenty minutes, everything was made official by the judge and Michelle finally stopped complaining and signed the papers that she needed to sign. Though she made one little mistake, her purse was at the edge of the table and it looked to be ready to fall off. "I can't believe you are making me do this." She said while signing. "This is total bullshit!" Once she finished signing, she knocked over her purse off of the table and she had a sandwich bag full of white powder that spilled out all over the floor. She gasped and stayed still just staring at it.

"Ms. DiBenedetto, what is that?" The judge asked.

Powdered sugar diet! Michelle was doing cocaine this entire time! She quickly kneeled down on the floor and gathered as much as she could together to put back in the bag. "It's nothing, your honor."

"Ms. DiBenedetto! Step away from that bag now! That's an order!" He barked at her. Michelle dropped everything and stepped back a few feet. The judge then looks at me. "Brian, did you know anything about this?"

"No, your honor. Michelle hasn't been living with me for the past four months. I had no idea she was even into this." I looked at her with pure disappointment as my jaw clenched tightly at just the sight of her.



Not long after that, Michelle was arrested for possession of cocaine in a courtroom, and I was let go as no longer a married man. I felt no simpathy what so ever for Michelle, she basically got what she deserved. I drove back home to find Evelyn standing at the gate in the backyard, just gazing at the view, wearing the same outfit as earlier only without the hat and wig. I snuck up from behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist. She giggled and kissed me. "How did it go?"

"Well, Michelle winded up getting arrested. She had a small bag full of cocaine that she was hiding in her purse. It spilled out when she accidentally dropped her purse."

"Oh damn." Evelyn gasped.

I nodded. "Yeah, but on the plus side of all of this, I am no longer a married man." I smiled.

She gasped again in excitement as she quickly turned around and hugged me tight. "Yay!"

I hugged her back and twirled her around before landing her on her feet and kissing her passionately. "I love you Evelyn." I whispered.

"I love you too Brian." She whispered back with a smile. She laced my hands with hers, and then she noticed that I was still wearing my wedding ring. She raised an eyebrow at me.

"Oh, right. I figured you would want to help me decide as to what I should do with it." I smiled as I took it off of my ring finger and handed it to her. Evelyn looked around and thought for a minute. She stared at the view of the ocean and slowly made her way to the gate.

As she thought, she then looked at me and handed me back the ring. "It's up to you, but I would thow it in the ocean." She smiled.

I gently took the ring from her and stared down at it for a second, and then to the ocean. With all my strength, I threw the ring as far as I could into the ocean water and just watched as it disappeared into the distance. I then wrap my arms around Evelyn's waist and start nibbling at her neck. She giggled a little. "Now this is just a thought, but can I work on taking off that outfit now?" I chuckled.

She laughed a little before looking at me in the eyes. "Did you even have to ask?"

Notes

I will probably keep this going until about chapter fifteen. I have a sequel in mind and I don't want this to be a story that goes on into an eternity. Thank you guys so much for reading this, I'm so happy with all of the positive feedback.
