               K Street, Chapter 2

Thursday, 6:22 PM: Nancy

    Jeff continued looking around him when he suddenly realized someone was speaking to him. He turned around to see Nancy, “I said, good evening congressman!”

     He stood stunned, as though he was witnessing an apparition standing before him, suddenly a wash of warmth flowed over him, his drink sloshing in his hand, Cuba Libre spilling onto his coat, dribbling down the leg of his pants.

     She looked down laughing sloshing her drink around her hands, splashing onto the carpet, “Oh my god, look at us!” She steadied her drink looking down at Jeff’s pants which by now had soaked up the brown liquid from his drink, “I can see that neither of us has lost our debonair style!” She laughed.

     She held out her right arm with her drink, leaning forward still laughing putting her left arm around Jeff.

     He still had not said a word.

     “Hello!” she said giving him a light hug, holding onto him.

     His face was blank, his brain raced desperately trying to connect a million neurons together in a frivolous effort to understand that it was really Nancy with her arm around him at that moment.

     She finally composed herself, stepping back facing him. “Aren’t you going to say hello?”

     “It’s you.”

     “Yes, it’s me. And it’s you!” She held up her right hand watching her drink drip from her wrist, then looking at him more earnestly. “And yes, it’s us.”

     She walked around him a few steps returning with napkins, she wiped her hand, looked around seeing an unoccupied table along the wall. Without a word she hooked his right arm, he shifted his drink to his other hand to keep from spilling it again, leading him toward the table, pulling out two chairs next to each other. “Come on, silly, sit down.” She sat looking up at him, he stood staring vacantly down at her. She reached up pulling him into his chair.

     He sat down turned toward her.

     “It’s you. When did you…I mean…what are you…what are you doing here?”

     “Probably the same thing you are, trying to meet people. But why…what are you doing at a singles―” she looked down at his hand seeing no wedding ring. “Oh, I see.”

     He followed her eyes to his bare ring finger, looking back to her, “Yeah.”

     “What happened?”

     Jeff looked around the crowded room noisy with the mindless chatter of a hundred people on the make, suddenly realizing that he just didn’t feel like talking about it here.

     Nancy watched his reservation, glancing around seeing what he perceived, realizing this was the wrong place for them to try to talk about anything meaningful. “Look, this is pretty noisy here, were you trying to meet someone in particular or maybe…” she glanced around again, “maybe we can go find some place quieter.”

     He nodded. She reached out taking his drink, stepped back to the bar coming back with refreshed drinks. She handed him his drink motioning to the door, “Come on, let’s go find some place quieter.”

     After another second of wonderment at this scene around him, her in front of him, he stood up. They snaked their way through the crowd to the opened double-doors pushing their way, right through the throng, soon down the hall finding a couch along the corridor with only a few people walking by occasionally.

     She motioned to the couch, they sat down, sitting quietly for what to Jeff felt like twenty minutes.

     “Are you okay?” she leaned down to look up into his eyes.

     “Yeah, just surprised to see you, that’s all.” He took a big gulp of his drink, coughed a bit taking another small sip. “What are you doing here?”

     “Do you really want to know?”

     He nodded, turning to her.

     “You won’t be mad?”

     “Why would I be mad?”

     He shook his head wondering at her trying to choose her words so carefully.

     “Because I know I made a mistake. I wanted to apologize.”

     “Apologize?”

     “The letter.”

     He shook his head slowly turning away from her, “Yeah, the letter. That damned letter.”

     “Oh please don’t tell me…” her voice trailed off.

     Jeff didn’t reply, he suddenly turned distant; she could feel him pulling away from her like watching him at the back window of a train speeding away, suddenly terrified that his face would turn into just a dot in the distance.

     Then be gone.

     Gone forever.

     “Oh, god, please Jeff, please tell me she didn’t read my letter!”

     He looked at his watch standing slowly, his face turned away.

     “It was nice to see you again, but I need to go,” he started to step away, the coldness of his voice washed over her, a giant bucket of ice water pouring over her head.

     She pulled at his hand in a desperate grip, “Oh god, please don’t tell me. Jeff.” He pulled away from her, walking slowly away, “Jeff! Jeff! Please Jeff, look at me, I’m sorry, please Jeff, I’m so sorry!”

     He heard her sobbing, walking away passing the hallway with cheerful voices emanating in their tone of tense frivolity, walking to the elevator pushing the button glancing down the hall seeing her leaned forward, heaving in tears, hands cupped over her face.

     Jeff got up to his room, flopped onto the bed. He had fantasized a thousand times about this moment.

     What his first words would be.

     Her first words to him.

     How he would kiss her again.

     Their making love again.

     When the moment came with her in front of him he suddenly felt like a helium balloon that kids poke a pin into, the balloon withers to a flap of flaccid plastic, the kids inhaling the helium talking in cartoon voices. But there were no cartoon voices here. No joy at all.

     He lay wondering what had just happened, wishing he could go back to the airport, somehow make it back to his vacant life, disappear back into the black hole of loneliness that had consumed him the last six months. This bitterness was not him. He already knew that the letter wasn’t Nancy’s fault. It was his fault for everything that happened between them in Atlanta. All she was trying to do was to express how much Atlanta meant to her, that she still loved him, that she still hoped that someday they could be…could be…

     Tears welled in Jeff’s eyes, a trickle flowed down his cheek, dripped into his ear, he lay there. The sudden desperate loneliness was an enormous weight that was suddenly laid upon his chest until he gasped for air feeling like he would be crushed into the bed, through the floor, falling until he was spinning in space, hands and legs outstretched with faces, voices flying past, his wife, his children, his mother, father…faces, voices calling but not one voice calling to him.

     There was a tap on his door. So light that it was barely perceptible. He raised his head turning toward the door. There it was again.

     He stood walking to the door, speaking through it, “I know you’re there. But I really can’t talk right now.”

     “I don’t need to talk,” he heard Nancy’s voice, almost a whisper. “I just need to be near you.”

     “What do you want? Haven’t you taken enough from me?” Jeff instantly regretted saying that. “Oh, Nancy, that’s not fair. I’m sorry.”

     “It’s me that needs to say I’m sorry,” she whispered. He could hear what sounded like her sitting down next to the door, her voice coming from lower outside. He kneeled down to hear her, sat down next to the door.

     “I know why you wrote that,” he said laying his head against the door. “When I first got it…oh, god, when I first got it…” He sighed so loud she could hear it through the door, a tiny tap of hope touched her heart. “It was precious to me. I read that…god, I don’t know…a hundred times.” He chuckled. “I actually masturbated a couple times reading it.”

     He could hear her small laugh through the door. “I hid it someplace nobody would find it. Nobody,” listening through the door to hear her breathing if only he could. “But of course she…”

     Scratching at the door, he tried to send her a signal. Some kind of signal.

     “She said that I had become distant. That she felt like there was somebody else in the room when we were alone together.” He thought, looking for words. “And there was for the longest time. I know that it was wrong, but I would fantasize that it was you when we were making love.” He sighed again. “That was a big mistake.”

     “Why, what happened?”

     He wanted so badly to open the door, to take Nancy into his arms to instantly recapture that night at the Hilton in Norcross, their only night together. “What do you think happens when you fantasize about someone else in the heat of sex?”

     “Oh, no, you didn’t.”

     “Well, at least she had a name to put to the third person in the room with us.”

     “Oh, Jeff, I’m so sorry.”

     “While I was on a trip she tore every single corner of the house apart.” He paused remembering, “Man she would have torn the floorboards out. Yeah, floorboards, I swear.” Shaking his head feeling tears building. “When I came home there were two notes for me. The other one was yours.”

     “Oh honey, oh, Jeff.”

     The word honey sent a jolt spinning around Jeff’s body, shooting from the back of his head swirling around his like a maypole ribbon ending between his thighs.

     They sat. Separated by a hotel room door. Their heads only an inch apart, separated by corrugated wood in a nice off-white finish. Their hearts lay equidistant across that barrier.

     He heard the sound of the elevator ding down the hallway, soon two men’s voices could be heard approaching. Their voices quieted, walking past Nancy sitting at the door, the soft padding of feet on the carpet slowing slightly, walking by. Jeff imagined they were looking at Nancy leaning against the door, they said nothing, soon voices resumed in the distance down the hallway in the other direction.

     Jeff could hear a shuffling sound against the door. He imagined that Nancy had put her hand against the door. He reached his left hand against the door where he thought he heard the sound, she could hear the sound of his hand on the other side of the door, pressing her right hand more firmly against the door.

     “You know,” he said softly, “I have fantasized about the moment we met again. You know I’ve been in DC a few times since I saw you last. A couple times I drove through Georgetown with the wild idea that I would see you. That we would fly into each other’s arms like you see in movies, you know with violin music, maybe even in slow motion like you see.” He laughed softly at this vision.

     “You probably wouldn’t have seen me, I’ve been gone a lot.”

     They sat for minutes, each trying desperately to hear anything from the other side of the door.

     They sat in silence. For all the tranquility of the moment his body felt sucked out of the room again, he felt dizzy from the feeling of falling through space, slowly materializing again, sitting leaning against the door, their heads leaning on exactly opposite sides of the door, their hands touching except for the separation of an inch of wood between them.

     “So mister Jeff, what do we do now?”

     “I don’t know, but it can’t be tonight.” He ached to open the door. He could feel the electricity flowing between them, like that time when they were in the car driving around Atlanta when she told him how she wished she had been the little slut in his hotel room without the panties.

     His heart ached.

     It ached that his family had abandoned him.

     His heart ached that this woman that he had so quickly fallen in love with in Atlanta hovered within reach at that very moment.

     “I know,” she whispered. “I know it can’t be tonight.” He could hear sniffing, she fought back tears, unsuccessfully, he could almost hear the trickle of tears down her face.

     Jeff heard her get up from the door, he stayed seated head leaning against the door, hand still up, as though he could reach through the door to pull her through.

     She stood with her forehead against the door. He could hear her breathing, felt the soft warmness of her tears on his face.

     She pulled back, stood straight, turned toward the elevator, walked away. Jeff heard the ding of the elevator, thought he could hear the doors open. The doors close.

     “Good night,” he whispered through the door.
