August 16, 2005 (Part 4)

I called Father Vicks and luckily he had some free time. I showered and headed right over. There were no interruptions this time; it was as if the dark figure really had given me the day in peace. I arrived at the church; Father Vicks greeted me at the door. We went into his office and I spilled my guts about the one night stand. It felt like a huge weight lifted off of me. Of course he told me that I had to tell her, I already knew that though, I was just dreading it. I knew that this would end things between us and rightly so but I did not want to lose her. Father reassured me that it was the right thing to do and that “I had to take my poison like a man”. We said our goodbyes and I went home.

It was about 6 o’clock when I got home. Again the cat greeted me waiting on food. I fed the cat and went to the living room. Sitting on the couch I debated on how to tell Jess. Like I said I knew this would end things. I could not come up with even a remotely easy way to tell her. Looking at the clock I realized that it was 11 p.m., I had wrestled with telling her for hours. Now it was too late to tell her tonight.
