The only people I felt sorry for were the janitors who had to clean all that mess up afterwards.
Of course, about a week after the wedding fiasco, the cops came around asking questions. Kat and I had attended the wedding, but we both said that we left when the shitstorm (HA HA) happened, as we were worried about our own health. We kept straight faces during our interviews, and only died laughing after the Detectives had left. We never heard from them again.
Reggie boy sued the caterer, but Sal the caterer skipped the country rather than pay the settlement. Last we heard, he’d lit out for Italy, where he was from. Not sure what happened to him after that.
Reginald Pennington The Fourth was caught in bed with another man’s wife, less than a year after the wedding. Who caught him? Her husband, and he was NOT very nice to Reggie boy. He’d called Maggie up, and she’d had a few choice things to say to Reggie when she’d gotten to the offended hubby’s house.
Maggie was on the doorstep of our new house shortly after that. At least Reginald ended up losing a testicle in the ensuing melee. It seemed that while she’d had no problem cheating, herself. She absolutely wouldn’t STAND for her hubby cheating on her. Kind of a double standard, wouldn’t you agree?
Yes, Kat and I moved into a larger place, since her little two bedroom just wasn’t quite big enough. A four bedroom ranch style was our new abode, and I had it halfway paid off by the end of the first year.
It seemed that Reggie boy had made Maggie sign a pre-nup saying that if she filed for Divorce for any reason, she walked away with nothing but what she had brought into the marriage. She still had her 125K a year job, but that was it. No billions for Maggie Sullivan. It was late the following year when we heard a knock on the door. Kat was 4 months pregnant, so I gave her a quick kiss and jumped up to grab the door myself.
I answered the door to a crying Maggie. “What do you want, Maggie?” I asked in a neutral tone.
“I’m sorry, Mac. So sorry for everything!” She sobbed.
“Hey, you were the one who wanted to trade up.” I shrugged. “What happened?”
“I caught Reginald cheating on me.” She admitted as she sobbed even harder.
“Wow. Tough break!” I said sarcastically.
“Mac, I’m really sorry. I was wondering if there might be any chance…” She cut herself off as she saw a pregnant Kat walk up from behind me.
“Baby, who is it?” I heard Kat ask as she came alongside me. She smiled at Maggie.
“It’s Maggie, and she was just leaving.” I said as I slammed the door in my ex’s face.
I threw the deadbolt and took Kat in my arms. “She’s the past. You’re my future. I love you, sweetheart.”
“Aww, I love you too, baby!” She said as she kissed me.
Kat and I had eloped shortly after we found out she was pregnant. A small civil ceremony, which was her idea, and we were Husband and Wife. She’s still my Manager at the shop, and she’s still one of my best friends.
I love my wife.
