drunk to consent! Yes! That's it! I must get him drunk! Oh, gosh, I am
selling out the love of my life! Oh god!'
    She
looked over to the nightstand and as she knew Craig, he always took care of
details. There was her cell, fully charged and waiting for her. She reached for
it, and dialed Lisa's number.
    "I
see you came about your senses, Monica!" smarted Lisa.
    "Stop
the bullshit, Lisa, and listen. I will do it, but you must do exactly as I tell
you."
    "I'm
all ears."
    "You
and Carl are going to take a trip with me and Craig to Fiji ."
    "To
where? Fiji ? Are you crazy? Perhaps you haven't got
your senses back, after all!"
    "Do
you want this to happen or not?"
    "Ok,
ok. Let me think. When?"
    "In
the next day or so. I'll let you know soon."
    "Why
can't we stay States side?"
    "Do
as I tell you, or you do as you please."
    "Ok,
Monica, ok! Cool your horses! Call me and let me know when. No emails,
please."
    Monica
hung up and thought to herself. 'No, I won't give you anymore fuel, you bitch.
You don't have to worry about it!'

    The
key in the door told her that he was back. She straightened up her shoulders,
looked in the mirror at her hair and waited for Craig to come in.
    "Well!"
he said joyfully. "I see you're up and running again! What a thrill! So
glad to see you better, baby!"
    Monica's
heart dropped through the floor as she thought she was about to sell her man
just to save her skin, but she recollected the choices she had just as quickly.
    "Yeah,
I do feel much better. Thanks to you!"
    "Oh,
why? I haven't done anything!"
    "Of
course you have, you big boy! And I am grate..." she stumbled for a
second. "I am grateful for it!"
    He
sat by her bed side and caressed her face. He didn't have to say anything. His
eyes said it all. Her heart felt bitter and for the first time in her life,
Monica felt a tinge of hatred. Hatred toward herself, toward what she was about
to do, toward the world and yes, toward him, too, for being so nice to her.
    Soon,
the old Monica was back and she controlled her feelings and bottled them up
behind the walls of her heart, where only she knew how little light was there
and how much dark surrounded her inner world.
    "Ok.
Look, I've been thinking about this since you left and I think you're right.
Perhaps we should go to Fiji , as you suggested."
    His
eyes glittered with happiness and his chest seemed to vibrate with joy!
    "That
is the best news I've heard in a long while! Ok! It's done! I'll get the
tickets today and I'll do all the planning! You just relax!"
    "Well,
but wait. There is something I must do. You know I've been working on that new
format project with Carl and Lisa for a while and I really can't afford to fall
behind much more. It would be almost impossible to do it without them. So, I
called them and asked them if they could come with us. I hope you don't
mind..."
    " Carl ?
Lisa?" His eyes' flickers went out just as fast they came on a minute
before. Her words just took the wind out of him. His enthusiasm vanished with
the blow of her words, like a piece of paper in the wind.
    "You
know I can't ever just do nothing, even for a day! I can't just sit idled. And
it would really help me tremendously. It will be a nice mixture, you'll see!
And you'll get to like Carl with time. Hell, we went to college together, so we
should get along better," she pleaded with Craig.
    His
thoughts were much deeper than she anticipated and she calculated it best to
leave them run their course. Craig did best when left alone.
    Finally,
he leaned over to her and gave her the answer that she wanted.
    "Ok.
If this will make you happy, let's do it."
    Her
face lit up like the sun and with stretched arms, she reached for him and
hugged him.
    "You'll
love it, too. You'll see!"
    "I
hope so. I really do! Ok, I am going back over to the office to tie up some
loose ends and to make the reservations. I should be back in a couple of
hours."
    Once
again, Monica was alone.
    She
picked up her cell and in
