The Ballad of Mindy
by Michael Coscia
Intro | Temptation | Addiction | Jump Ahead | Once = Always

Let's jump ahead a few years
After college graduation Mindy was dating a wonderful junior executive on his way up the corporate ladder. They had matching cell phones and were planning a future together. They got engaged on Valentine's Day.

That June she was on a business trip and there in the hotel was a man she could only describe as having Harrison Ford's strength, Brad Pitt's smile and Ashton Kutcher's… well, I think you get the picture. She was faint with attraction.

Smiles in the elevator led to small conversation and a drink at the hotel bar (actually, many drinks). She really liked this man (a senior executive!) and he liked her. He never mentioned he was married. She never mentioned she was engaged. Their affair blossomed.

Eventually when the subject of their future came up true confessions were spilled. He promised to divorce his wife and he did.

Poor foolish Mindy dumped the junior executive for this senior executive. Life was peachy keen, or so she thought.

They eventually married and no sooner did they say, "I do," he did it with someone else. Mindy surmised he was stepping out and finally caught him red-handed with Pamela, a married secretary from his office.

Mindy called Pamela a home wrecker, a slut, a conniving cheater. She called her senior executive much worse.

She filed for divorce.
