Generation 2 - Chapter 4
While Anna was at the mall, Neil grew up to become a teenager, as his brother without any festivities. Basil didn’t care so much, because he felt the atmosphere in the family wasn’t really like party-time. He just as much liked growing up all alone and decided his own aspiration by himself.

Aspiration: Romance
Lifetime Want: Become a Celebrity Chef
Anna felt sorry when she came home and decided to help Basil develop his creative skills. He was really a very talented boy. She felt sorry he choose the Romance aspiration, but what could she have to say in it. If she had her way, she would cheat on her husband with the maid. She was absolutely in no position to judge her son’s decisions and choices.

The next day, Anna felt pretty excited, because Remington would of course come by. However, Neil didn’t leave for work, he seemed to have a very varying schedule lately. So there was hardly a minute when Anna was alone with Remington. There was one single moment and they made an appointment for the evening when Neil would be away working.
The rest of the morning felt quite awkward to Anna, she was in one room with her husband, who was painting, and her ….. how do you call it …. her crush, cleaning after her family. And she was just there relaxing, trying not to pay too much attention to Remington in front of Neil.
She knew she had to discuss divorce with him, because she really didn’t want to continue life with him. She hadn’t got the nerve to do so however and told herself that she wanted to know first how Remington really felt about her.

Finally the daylight started to fade and Neil went to his work. To Anna, it seemed like it would never become evening, but now Remington could be there any minute. She was watching in front of the window and when she saw him coming, she rushed out to meet him.
They greated each other a little hesitant because of the situation. Soon, the intimacy returned and they talked like they did before. Anna grew more sure about her feelings for Remington with every minute. She had the feeling Remington did too but she wasn’t sure.
Finally she asked him how he felt about her. He told her he absolutely adored her and thought she was his true love. He knew however that she is married and he doesn’t want to break up a happy marriage or become a secret lover. Anna told him then that her marriage wasn’t as happy as it seemed, that Neil didn’t give her any attention at all unlike Remington, and that she had made the decision to divorce Neil. She had to tell him that decision very soon now.
When Remington understood how unhappy Anna had been the last period of her life and that she had already decided to end her marriage, he took her in his arms and hugged her in a loving and comforting way.

Anna enjoyed very much Remington’s hug and the love and tenderness it expressed. It made her want more, more of his love, more of his tenderness, more of his attentions. Apparently Remington felt the same, because soon they were flirting and hugging like teenagers in love. Anna enjoyed the sponaneity with which this all happened and enjoyed every minute with Remington.

When Anna heard the clock strike midnight, she knew Neil would be home soon. So she told Remington he had to leave. But he didn’t do that before he had hugged her once more with tenderness and love. He gently kissed her and then left her. She rushed inside to take a shower and go to bed before Neil came home.

What Anna didn’t know was that Neil had a secret of his own too. Through his artistic career he had become involved in some criminal activities: drug smuggling, fraud, blackmail. He was well on his way to become a criminal mastermind and this night he had gotten his last promotion. Although he knew it was a dangerous career, he really enjoyed it and the money it brought him.
He had tried to pay attention to what Anna said, but he had found he was too addicted to making money. When his new collegues tried to pressure him to get more involved in criminal activities, he had forgotten all about his promisses to Anna and his boys. He did love them all, but he hadn’t got a clue how to stop his obsession and start paying attention to them.
The next day he left in the afternoon to have his first job as criminal mastermind.

When Anna realized Neil had gone to work, she called Remington and invited him to come directly. There was no need now to wait until the evening. The children were too busy studying to take a look in the garden, so that’s where Anna and Remington went. In the summersun, with Neil being away and the kids studying, Anna and Remington really gave into their feelings and soon they were kissing and making out like there was noone else in the world.

When Anna heard the carpool for Basil’s job, she took Remington by the hand and silently let him to the bedroom. She really had to know how much Remington really meant to her before starting the conversation with Neil tonight when he came back. They cuddled on the bed and slowly learned to enjoy each other.

But the cuddling and stroking inevitably let to their first WooHoo. They were both very anxious for it to happen and enjoyed it to the most. Anna felt she had never had a more satisfying WooHoo before than here and now with Remington. If there had been any doubt in her mind before, it was gone now. She would divorce Neil and start a relationship with Remington. She would tell Neil this night after he came home.

When Remington was gone, Anna decided to call Felicia to tell her what had happened and what she had decided. She could tell Felicia didn’t agree very much, but all the same she supported her friend. Anna was glad she had told Felicia.

Now, there was Neil who had to know. It took quite some time before he came home and Anna started to feel very nervous. It made her feel sick, although she recognized this feeling from Beau’s pregnancy too. She rushed off to the bathroom to throw up. Why was she sick? What was going on with her?

When she couldn’t take the waiting anymore, she went out to wait there. She walked to the cowplant to check if the gate in the fence was still closed and that appeared to be the case.

She went in again and decided to punch for a while to try and silence her anxiety.

Soon she was so wrapped up in this activity that she didn’t hear Neil’s car arrive. Neither did she notice he didn’t come in, but went over to the cowplant and tried to grab the cake…..

LOLOL serves Neil right…LOLOL

I just got caught up with all of your stories about the Flowers family! And wow, what great stories! I’m really enjoying reading about Anna and Neil…although it looks like Neil won’t be around for long. Heh. By the way, I love the names Basil and Beau. And your house is adorable — I especially like the swingset in the sand! Keep up the great work.

I was wondering how you were going to get them divorced without getting her caught cheating. Nice work.

Wow! I figured she’d end up getting caught cheating and kicking him out or something. LOL. Nice twist there!
