<strong>"Oh God! Mariella is going to kill me!"</strong><br/><br/>Having just gotten off work from the gym he worked at, Jack was speeding down the highway towards his friends house. He knew that Mariella would probably be a little more than ticked off at him being late, so all he could hope for was that she would forgive him. He really did love her so, and it hurt him to show up late to anything, especially a night out with their friends. Pulling into the driveway, he spotted Mariella & two other women conversing on the doorstep. Gulping as he stepped out of the car, Jack walked up the driveway to face the music.<strong>"Sorry for being so late sweetie,"</strong>he said, placing a soft kiss on her lips,<strong>"I hope I didn't keep you or anybody else waiting. Work was murder!"</strong>
