Chapter 5: Breaking Promises
1 month later
After meeting Jeff in the art class, Cassie was torn between being friends with him and maintaining her marriage. She found herself talking to Jeff for hours on the phone during her breaks at work, and dreaming about him at night. He even showed up at her job a few times with small lunches and flowers, which embarrassed her to no end. Some of her coworkers gossiped about the new man coming to the hospital, knowing it wasn't Jareth. Cassie never caught wind of the rumors though. Every time Jeff tried to invite her over to his place for a photo shoot, she declined, fearing she might act upon her desires. But last night, Jeff showed up as she was leaving work and persuaded her to come over the next night. "I will be good I promise," He said to Cassie as she hugged him good night.
Cassie was fussing over herself in the mirror for thirty minutes making sure everything was perfect. She changed her makeup to something more dramatic, and pulled her hair back, something she hasn't done in a long time. All the fussing about was also unusual of her, and she wondered if she was doing this for Jeff or because she was going to be photographed.
After messing with her hair a little longer, she sprayed on some light perfume, and walked downstairs, hoping Jareth wouldn't see her leaving.
As she was coming down the stairs, Jareth heard her coming while he was cooking dinner for the three of them. He thought she was going to eat with them, but as he saw her he realized she was dressed for going out.
"I thought...I thought you were going to eat with Rhiannon and I?" Jareth said, looking at her strangely. He noticed she looked a whole lot different than usual.
"Sorry, but a few friends of mines at work invited me for dinner at the cafe, and I just couldn't say no." Cassie looked past him, not wanting to lie to him while looking straight at him.
"Maybe we could have dinner this weekend?"
Jareth looked at her and sighed. he realized that attempting to be a family was hopeless.
"Yea, I guess." He looked back into the dining room, watching Rhiannon and her friend Beau from school chat about art and soccer.
"Don't worry," Cassie said, fiddling with her bracelet. "Me and the girls should be done before midnight. I got a lot of work to do tomorrow, so I can't be out too late."
Jareth just nodded. He just couldn't help how fancied out she was, a little to fancy for dinner in a cafe. He couldn't figure out why, but Cassie was a little nervous, fiddling and talking a little too fast. He figured maybe it was nerves and being tired.
Cassie gave him a quick hug and headed out of the door. She gave a big sigh of relief as she walked towards Jeff's apartment.
Jareth watched her walk away, and as he watched her he realized the love between them was gone. Just like that. It just fizzled away like a burned out candle. He sighed and went back into the house.

"Hello?" Jeff said, primping his hair with a couple of fingers.
"Hey, it's Cassie. How are you?"
"Oh hey beautiful. Doing great! Are you on your way?"
He heard her footsteps in the background. "Yes, I am about three blocks away. I didn't realized you lived so close."
"Quite a coincidence, isn't it?"
"Yea. Well I should be there in a few minutes. You are on the third floor right?"
"Exactly. See you soon beautiful."
Jeff walked over to the bar and made some drinks. He was hoping this night would go very well. Just as he was finishing up the drinks, he heard the doorbell. "Wow, she's fast!" Jeff said out loud as he went to answer the door.
I guess this is it, Cassie thought as she came up to the third floor. There was only one door on that floor. She smiled as she realized that Jeff lived in a penthouse. That meant he had to be loaded. Not bad for a model, She thought as she rang the doorbell.
A million thoughts went through her mind as she waited for him to open the door. She was nervous and excited all at once. Whatever happens, I must keep in control of myself. Don't get carried away. Act normal. It's just a photo shoot.
She heard the locks, and she put on a smile, just for him.
"Well, hello.." He said as he opened the door.
Katie:
Yikes! going to his house didn't seem like a good idea...
:D
