Part 7: - "If You Will Not Share The Blame, Then I Just Ought To See Your Face Again"

- Pick up the phone, Tania. Pick it up!

He has tried to call her for days, but she won't answer the phone. He has a feeling that it is on purpose. She doesn't want to confront him again and admit that what she has done is not right. He drives over to the studio and waits for her to come out, but she doesn't show up. A colleague comes out after almost 40 minutes and says that she left an hour ago, and that she doesn't want to see him again.
- Please, I have to see her just once more. Please, help me, he begs and she takes pity on him.
- All right, but if you tell anyone that I told you this, you'll be sorry. OK?
He nods, and she tells him about the next fashion show she is going to attend to. He says "thank you" and leaves. His mind works on a plan and he smiles as he looks forward to finally seeing her again. Finally he will see the person that he loves again...

Everything goes swell. He arrives at the show with a camera and dressed in black tight jeans, a long leather coat and a pen and paper. If the only way he is going to see her again is through a show like this, what is smarter than to dress up like a press-photographer? He smiles to himself in a mirror, and goes up to the catwalk. After about 15 minutes she comes out, and he can hardly hold his hands still on the camera. She is dressed in a tight cat suit with less than nothing under. His hands shake, his heart pounds, and he has to concentrate not to drool. "My God, she is gorgeous!" he thinks and keeps taking pictures. He has to step back before she notices him, but not too far away. A couple of feet away from the stage, and he can zoom her in. He takes pictures of every inch of her body, and can't he lp the reaction that follows...

After the whole event is done he decides to go and talk to her. He goes to the bathroom to fix up a little before the reunion. He has to admit that he actually looks p retty good: his hair is exactly right and his clothes make him look cool and trendy. He is ready, and walks out of the vicinity and towards the lady in the cat suit. But just before he reaches her, another man walks up to her and gives her a kiss. George stands still and watches them as a tear runs down his cheek. He just can't believe that SHE was the one who had an affair and blamed HIM. The new guy is shorter than her and has too long blond hair. He has seen him before. He is a fashion designer, and that must be the perfect boyfriend for her. Not a cab driver. He bows his head, leaves the building and drives away in his car crying. There is only one person he can think of who can comfort him right now.
- Sarah, he thinks aloud.
He dials her number and she answers with a happy "Hello". He can't even say what the matter is, but she understands and says that she will be over at his place in 15 minutes. She doesn't know what will expect her when she arrives, but she will definitely get a surprise. A surprise that won't be too easy to forget. Not by a long shot...
