Ross steadily worked on John's project , which Ross threw himself into, and was able to finish to John's satisfaction, within a week.
In the meantime, Ross stayed in the guest room, and did not say a word to Kayley.
Ross knew that he wanted to do something. Move out, take a break, separate, file for divorce, but something was stopping him.
Ross also realized that he was tired of Kayley's "Market Boy" comments to him. It may have sounded like a "pet name" but Ross now realized that it was almost like Kayley's "Derisive Putdown Name " for him. Almost like "I , Kayley, am the adult in this relationship, and you, Ross, are the child"
In fact, Ross had made major changes that year, in hiring and basically handing over control of RossShell to Jack.
Ross knew that Jack was running RossShell far more competently than Ross ever had.
Jack was stable, calm, the clients liked him, and Jack was just doing a fantastic job.
If RossShell was a plane, while Ross might have been "The pilot" it was almost like Ross's title was pilot, and while Jack's title was co pilot, the fact was, that Jack now operated RossShell day to day.
Each night, Ross would go home, eat dinner himself, and shut himself in the den.
One night, Kayley, fed up , said. "Market Boy, are you ever going to talk to me?"
"Yes, right now, you bitch! The next time you call me "Market Boy" I'm moving out and filing for divorce, and this time I will never be back. You may say that you love me, Kayley , but you are controlling, derisive, condescending, and basically, a bitch!" Ross snapped.
"Ross, I'm sorry. Please. I go too far sometimes, but you know I love you. I would be heartbroken if you left" Kayley said.
"Kayley, you are so insensitive and critical that you dont even think. Think of how RossShell was my obsession for decades. Think of how many times we've fought over that company. Think about how many times it;'s given me migraines, seizures, almost broken us apart. Now, partially due to my own health, and how wonderfully Jack runs the company, I've been mandated to basically just sit by and watch him run it, better than I ever did. The clients love him, the people that work there love him. I''m just the CEO whose title is CEO, but I sign off on things., RossShell is more Jack's company than it is mine. If he ever left, I would be forced to sell RossShell. I'm sure I could find another person to run it, but I doubt as if anyone could ever run it as well as Jack is running it" Ross said quietly.
"I understand that it's very difficult" Kayley said.
"I know that it looks odd to walk around with a husband who uses a cane just because I am fearful of getting a dizzy spell and falling. " Ross said.
"I never even think of that. I'm relieved that you use a cane. It's better than not, and God Forbid falling" Kayley said quietly.
Then Kayley continued. "Are you going to OKC?"
"Yes, but not because I'm running away. Now that I'm done with that project, I should go anyway. I will be back in three days and two nights. I want to get there by the end of the day tomorrow." Ross said.
"Please come to bed, and just hold me. We dont have to do anything" Kayley said.
"That sounds fine" Ross said.
Ross went to bed, held Kayley, and the next morning, awakened, and kissed Kayley goodbye to go to OKC.
Ross got to the office, said hi to Fritz and Steve, and then the men went to the fields to meet with 150 people, 40 of which signed.
That night, they met with Arnold, a guy that had a company worth 50 mil. Ross kept sitting there, sighing. Fritz and Steve were undecided, and at the end of the dinner, Ross said. "Two out of three, if you guys want it, do it, if not, then whatever" Ross said.
"We will decide" Fritz said.
When Ross was dropped off at the hotel, instead of going to his room, Ross went to the hotel bar, and then "It" happened.
"It" or "she " was a woman named Vanessa Moore, a commercial leasing agent.
Vanessa was beautiful, with long dark hair, and a soft voice.
Ross and Vanessa talked long into the night.
Vanessa was separated, undecided about whether to divorce her husband of 20 years.
Ross admitted his situation.
"I'm married for 30 years, to a woman named Kayley. I know that we supposedly deeply love each other, but sometimes I wonder. Kayley is a school principal, and as I told you, I'm CEO of a company called RossShell Marketing in New York City. The President of my company, Jack, runs the company, and I just sign off on things. I've made a lot of terrible decisions in business that have cost me both business wise, with my health, and with Kayley. Now, my company is flying smoothly. Kayley, it's just frustrating. I know we love each other, but she can be condescending, and basically just maddening" Ross said.
"Ross, can we go up to your room?" Vanessa said."
"Yes, but we cant have sex, Vanessa. I just want to talk to you. You're a very kind woman, but I dont want to hurt either of us, or Kayley. I have to really think about this" Ross said.
"Think all you want. Get me a bottle of wine, I know you cant drink, just get some iced teas and let's talk" Vanessa said.
"Okay"
Ross and Vanessa went up to his room.
Ross got Vanessa a bottle of wine, he got himself a jug of iced tea.
Vanessa took off her shoes, and stockings.
Ross then said. "Vanessa, may I massage your feet? I sort of, like to massage women's feet?" Ross asked.
"Oh, yes. A foot massage would feel so nice about now" Vanessa said.
"Is it okay if I tickle your feet? I kind of like to know that women are ticklish" Ross said.
"I' m very ticklish. Yes, it's okay" Vanessa said
Ross massaged Vanessa's feet , bent down and whiffed her musky soles, and then he tickled Vanessa's feet, and she exploded in giggles!
HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! I'M SO TICKLISH! NEOOOOO!HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! Vanessa said, as her toes flexed back,
Ross kissed Vanessa, and knew that he wanted to have sex with her, but then stopped himself.
Before Ross could say another word, the phone rang, and it was Kayley!
While Ross had not gone "All the way" Ross did in fact kiss Vanessa passionately, and Ross also did something to Vanessa in playing with her feet, that Ross knew gave him sexual pleasure.
What made no sense to Ross, is that he "thought" he had settled things with Kayley.
Yet, while Ross was wrong, and should have moved out and told Kayley he needed time, Ross also realized that his anger toward
Kayley in her treatment of him was deeper than he ever knew
What would happen with this?
Ross could keep it from Kayley.
If Ross told Kayley, while he did not "Fuck Vanessa" both Ross and Kayley knew that Ross did something to Vanessa that Ross, Kayley, and now Vanessa, knew gave Ross sexual pleasure.
Ross had caused himself a real mess.
What would happen with this?
That would be seen.
