Schmidt Happens (Schmidt Load #2)

“Thank God,” she says.
“No, thank me. God had nothing to do with it this time.” I smile.
“Jack, you were great. Thank you for…taking care of me.” She pats my arm. “Did you get rid of the evidence?”
“Oh yeah. It was a satisfying release. I think everyone’s happy.”
“Good.” Gabby and I trade places in the door way, but as she starts to leave she turns back. “You might not want to tell Linda about this you know. She may decide to never come back here. Good night, Jack.”
“Good night, Gabby.” I watch as she turns around to head back to her apartment and freezes. She steps aside and turns back to me to make sure I see what it is she’s seeing.
Linda.
Standing at the top of the steps…with a horrified look on her beautiful face.
Shocked to even be seeing her here, I step outside my apartment to greet her. “Linda…”
She puts her hand up to stop me from moving and looks between Gabby and myself. It’s then that I realize what she sees.
Gabby wet and in a bathrobe.
Me with no shirt on.
Both standing outside my apartment door.
I swallow slowly and try to shake my head back and forth. “Linda this isn’t at all what you…”
“Fuck you!” she yells as tears begin to tumble down her face. “Fuck you both.”
“Shit! Linda!” I call out for her and try to follow her down the steps but she’s faster than I give her credit for. She’s in the car and speeding away before I can even try to get close to her. I throw my hands into my hair and swallow the cold evening air, reminding myself to breathe every few seconds.
“What have I done?”
