When Anthony got in his truck, he instantly recollected the events that transpired in his Range Rover last night and the wee hours of the morning. He decided to take his truck to the car detailer by the gym called Drip Clean.
The woman told Anthony that they were busy so it'll take about two hours. This was fine with him because he planned on getting it in at the gym.
At Driven Gym, there were state of the art equipment for Anthony to do some real damage. As he finished doing his first rep on the bench press, a call came through his earpiece.
It was Mark. Anthony decided to answer since if Mark pissed him off, he was at the gym and would be able to get his frustrations out.
"Damn! I've been calling you all morning!" Mark bellowed into the phone when Anthony picked up.
"Man chill." Anthony said resuming his work out.
"Why are you breathing like that? You still got your lady friend over there?"
"Nah. She left. I'm working out at the gym." Anthony said between breaths.
"Oh, well what time did she leave from you because she and Sheri are over 15minutes late. They were supposed to be at my house by 12 pm."
Anthony put the weight down and sat up. "Why are they supposed to be at your house?" His heart jumped. Maybe that's why Isa left like that. But if that was the case he could have taken her home and waited for her to get ready and then took her over to Mark's house. Why didn't she wake him?
"Monica is gonna ask Sheri for the position of Vise Principal at King Robert Andrews High School. On top of me telling her that her school will be a part of the Dream Act program and taking in Jamaican refugees."
"Hold up!" Anthony couldn't believe what he was hearing. People looked at him due to his sudden outburst. He knew he had to continue this conversation outside.
"Your a F*** Boy for real Mark," Anthony said walking out the gym.
"What? why?" Mark said not trying to own up to misdeeds.
"You hooked up with your wife's potential boss! On top of you being Sheri's unofficial boss with the power of telling her what she will and will not do in her school! That's extremely unprofessional bruh!" Anthony couldn't believe how short-sighted Mark was being.
"It's really not that deep!" Mark said not liking how Anthony was tripping.
"Mark I could have said the same thing to you the way you were tripping over Sheri last night. WTF was that! You was thirsty! And now she coming over your house with your wife and kids. With your wife inquiring about a serious position that will benefit you in your political career in public and private contributions to society. Come on man, what are you doing?!"
"I didn't know that she so happened to be the principal of that school when I first met her. I was pissed when I found out and told Monica to just choose another school. Monica refused." Mark said nonchalantly.
"Well, you need to insist because this is messy bruh. What's the big deal about it being at Sheri's school anyways? Doesn't the Dream Act need to take place at multiple schools? How many refugees is the city about to take?" Anthony says, trying to figure out his logic.
"When Monica and I worked up a plan on this, it was to have my Alma Mater High School be at the forefront of running the Dream act with Monica being the Vise Principal and being in charge of the refugees that came to the school. It was gonna help us obtain votes in the future from immigrants and the people who supported education for all. Of course, other schools will be added in all over the country. But we wanted to be one of the first to get it going in the city of Parkdale, giving us a strategic advantage." Mark gave a vague synapses of the plan his wife came up with.
"Yeah, that makes sense. But, when did f***ing the Principal that was gonna help you get this all going come into play?" Anthony quizzed.
"We didn't have sex!... Listen I got it under control now. Besides Sheri wants things to be professional so that one slip is really all it was..." Mark knew he was lying to himself.
"Man, I don't know... You were doing the most with her last night. Could have ended up in jail if it wasn't for Jake..." Anthony felt bad knowing he slipped up not watching Mark last night. Mark is always doing the most when he's not being watched.
"Well, aren't we lucky to know a man like Jake... Speaking of which, you couldn't call me when you found out everything was good and that footage was gone?! Was up all night thinking about what would happen if it came out." Mark tossed and turned all night, not sure what he would face in the morning.
"I was making you sweat. I wanted you the see the errors of your ways. Make you reflect on your actions and how it affects your family, and the citizens of Parkdale." Anthony preached.
"F*** you! I ain't need all that! Just follow up like you supposed to- Oh shit they here!"
"Isa's there?" Anthony's heart flipped.
"Yeah... She and Sheri came together... How did you not know she was coming over- Damn Sheri looks good..." Mark remarked as he watched Sheri get out Jill's Mercedes.
Glad that Mark got distracted Anthony said, "Are you gonna be able to keep it together over there champ?" He wanted to see if he could score a last-minute invite so he could speak with Isa.
"Yeah... I should be good... I have Isa, and she's good at defusing complications..." Mark said remembering how she prevented him from getting caught up last night when he first got a hold of Sheri.
"Oh, so you gonna play nice?" Anthony tested.
"Yeah, she better be over that s***. Just keep your phone around and I'll text you if I need anything." Mark cautioned.
"And what if she's not? Your gonna cuss her out again? I don't think you had your head on straight when you decided to hook up with and savagely cuss out the women coming over your house today." Anthony chuckled at how unbelievable Mark's reckless behavior was.
"Isa's a professional! And Sheri was stern she said she didn't want anything extra from me... I'll be okay. Just be on the lookout for my text or call." Mark honestly didn't care what Sheri said last night. He knew if he got her alone he would convince her otherwise.
"Cool." Anthony couldn't help but wonder how Mark was so sure of Isa. He could also sense a lot out of her as well. Even though he couldn't figure her out...
