A Striking Unrealized Truth Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Bo helped Sarah to the door of the Palace. They stood waiting for a table.
“Well look at that, is that Nora with Justin Reed?”
Bo followed his wife gaze. He felt that shock run through his body again. He shook it off. Sure enough, there was Nora and Justin, laughing and talking.

“Oh, yeah. I think this is their first date.”
Sarah smiled and grabbed his hand.

“How on earth did she manage to get the great white whale?”
“What? Great white whale?”
“Oh come on Bo, you don’t know he is one of Llanview most eligible bachelors? Many women have tried and failed.”
“Oh, umm. I think he asked her out.”
Sarah’s face fell in shock.

“No!”
Bo looked at his wife in confusion.

“Honey, what is so strange about that? Nora isn’t exactly homely.”
Sarah frowned when he said that.

“I know, it’s just.. Justin Reed never asks women out, they ask him.”
“I don’t know what to tell you, he obviously likes her.”
Bo couldn’t stop looking at the couple. He had a strange feeling in the pit of his stomach as he watched them.

“Mr. Buchanan your table is ready.”
Bo and Sarah followed the waiter. Bo felt his stomach drop as they moved towards Nora and Justin. Nora noticed them, her smile grew as they neared.

“Bo! Sarah!”

The waiter stopped at the table next to Justin and Nora.

“Hey Red. Justin.”
Sarah just waved as they sat. Justin smiled and put an arm around Nora.

“Looks like we are going to be neighbors tonight.”

“It sure does. You two enjoying your night?”
Nora smiled and Justin looks at her. Bo could see adoration in Justin’s eyes already.

“Yeah, it has been wonderful.”

Bo felt himself force a smile out.

“Good, Justin you better treat her right.”
Justin continued to look at Nora as she turned her face towards him, telling him to shut up with her eyes. Justin reached out and stroked Nora’s hair, Bo felt a growl starting.

“Don’t worry Bo, I plan on treating her like the queen she is.”
Nora blushed and turned back towards Justin.

“Thank you.”

Bo felt Sarah poke him. He looked at her, she was frowning at him.

“I think we should concentrate on our dinner don’t you?”
Bo smiled.

“Yeah, of course.”
Bo tried to concentrate on his wife and their dinner, but his focus kept turning towards the other couple next to him. He didn’t like at all how Justin kept touching Nora. Bo saw Justin lean in and whisper into Nora’s ear. She blushed and smiled. Then Justin stood and took her hand, he wrapped his arm around her waist and walked over to their table.

“We are heading out. It was good seeing you two.”
Nora smiled.

“See you tomorrow.”
“Yeah Red, see you.”
Bo watched as Justin guided her out of the room. He heard Sarah speak.

“Unbelievable.”
Bo turned towards his wife.
“Oh good it isn’t just me who noticed inappropriate he was with her.”
Sarah looked at him in disbelief.

“Damn it Bo, take me home.”
Bo looked down at his dinner.

“But we aren’t done.”
“I am.”
Bo felt confused. He paid their food, Sarah pulled away from him when he went to hold her hand. Great, what had he done now.
