no company car; make sure she takes nothing with her but her clothing. In fact, send someone to the hotel to retrieve all pertinent Smothers’ business papers and pack up her stuff; she's not to go back to the room." He hung up the phone again as if knowing that his every word would be carried out to the letter.
    Wow , this guy was really something when riled.
    "You, come with me." He took my hand and pulled me along behind him.
    I guess it was my turn to feel the wrath of khan. I didn't know what to expect when he marched me back to his table. He stood over her for a good minute before speaking, while she fidgeted in her seat and tried her best to look confused.
    "You want to tell me what the bloody hell you said to Joanna before I got here?"
    "I'm sorry, I don't think I understand."
    "Cut the bullshit, what the fuck did you say?"
    " Jonathan, I can't believe that you'd take this person's word for whatever she's claiming over mine, we've been together for years."
    "Correction, you've worked for me for years, our families have known each other for longer , but we've never been together. Now what lies have you been spreading?"
    "Maybe the girl misunderstood my words..."
    "Which were what exactly?"
    I was about to jump in because I could see she wasn't big on the truth. I seriously contemplated decking the lying skank, but I was at work and I couldn't afford to lose my job right now.
    "I don't think I lik e the tone of this conversation; maybe we should discuss this when you're not so angry and we're alone."
    "Why, so you can lie your way out of it? You know what, never mind, I don't need to hear your side because I believe her. Scott will be here shortly with your things, you'll be heading back to London today. You're no longer welcomed on Smothers property, any of them."
    "Margaret will never allow that, she's my godmother lest you forget."
    "Yeah well I'll bet you everything I own that my mum wouldn't give you a second thought if it came down to you or her future daughter in law." I guess he was through with her because he then turned to me with a slightly less abrasive attitude; he was still pissed at me though obviously. "Get your things Joanna, we're leaving."
    I think I went into shock at about the ti me he mentioned daughter-in-law. My legs wouldn't cooperate and Jonathan had reached the end of his rope it appeared.
    "I said get y our bloody things we're leaving. I can't stand to look at this slag one minute more or I'll commit bloody murder."
    Melissa seemed stuck to her seat as I came out of my trance. "I can't just leave in the middle of my shift, they'll fire me."
    "You're not working anymore , they can stuff their bloody buggering job. Now do whatever you have to do and let's get out of here."
    I moved on automatic pilot, exci ted and scared in equal measure. Could this really be happening? these things didn't happen in real life did they?
    Lisa met me halfway with my bag in hand. "I heard, now go, call me whenever you're settled. I'll tell Kate that you had an emergency just in case things don't work out and you have to come back someday. Though from the looks of it he's pretty much hooked. Good luck Joanna, you deserve this always remember that." She hugged me as the tears started to gather in both our eyes.
    "Are you stupid, you're really going to fall for this?"
    "Back the hell off Nicole, don't listen to this jealous hag Jo, go, be happy." She pushed me back towards the waiting Jonathan who had come up behind me. I left the restaurant on a cloud with my hand in Jonathan's. If I ever woke up from this dream I'd be so mad.

Chapter 10
     
     
    My crazy British boyfriend (and doesn't that sound yummy) has been moving on autopilot for the past two days and that's no exaggeration. I have no idea what has been going on. First we left the restaurant and burned rubber out of the parking lot. I started to ask him where we were going but the look he gave me suggested I keep my trap shut. I
