The Fateful Text

Georgie Gee

Description

A beautiful, romantic novel about two souls and their connection of mind, body and spirit
Things were jogging along nicely for Lexi, a 50-year-old holistic fitness instructor, until her safe little world turned upside down when she fatefully opens a text message from her husband that was clearly intended for his lover. Her husband, Nathan is a successful businessman who is used to getting his own way and tries to manipulate her into simply ‘letting it go’ and getting back to normal but Lexi has other ideas.
In her bid not to be manipulated by Nathan, she takes herself away to think things through and by chance meets a man who is in the country on business. His name is Conrad. He’s a high-flying, workaholic, businessman from the states; he’s instantly intrigued by her and engineers another chance meeting, which results in a friendship blossoming between them.
Despite Lexi’s husband’s attempts to get her to return home, Lexi and Conrad end up spending an amazing weekend together and in that time their friendship escalates into the deepest connection of mind, body and spirit. The two of them fall so deeply for each other that by the end of the weekend Lexi is faced with the decision of whether to go home and try to save her marriage or to continue her relationship with this man whom she now feels, could well be her true soul-mate.

About the Author
Throughout my life I have struggled with many health issues that resulted in my regularly being in and out of hospital, from a small child into adulthood, until I was diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome type 3 at the age of 38. This is a condition that affects the connective tissues, in a nutshell, they are far too soft and as the connective tissue holds one ‘together’ both through the skeleton and the internal organs, it explained why I had so many problems. However, having received this diagnosis, that was where it ended, the NHS offered no further help or advice, and I was left to get on with it.
From then on, I made it my purpose to do the very best for myself. I have spent my life proactively doing everything I can to make myself as well and as healthy as I possibly can be. I’ve studied health and wellbeing from many different angles for 20 years now and learned from some amazing people along the way who have afforded me life changing and empowering information.
For many years my world revolved around exercise and diet and I was doing very well. In my quest for any knowledge to do with health and well-being, around seven years ago, I came to learn of the principles of the holistic lifestyle. I became very interested in the concept of treating my ‘being’ as a whole, mind, body and spirit. This incredible approach, combined with the knowledge I already had of exercise and nutrition, took my health to a whole new level and it has completely changed my life. I learned on my journey that it’s impossible to have a healthy body without a healthy mind because the body is a physical manifestation of our thoughts and feelings. We need to address it all to be healthy, happy and whole.
I now lead a normal life and one wouldn’t know I had a problem now unless I told them. I’m very proud of the level of wellness I have managed to achieve for myself with this knowledge and am truly passionate about creating awareness of the difference this approach can make to one’s health and wellbeing.
In my opinion, since we have been faced with this pandemic, it has NEVER been more important for individuals to take responsibility for their o wn health and wellbeing.
I had always wanted to write a novel and so, I decided that I would write a beautiful love story, with all the basic principles of the holistic lifestyle laced throughout as an enjoyable introduction to this healthful and life changing practice. I hope you enjoy it.

Lexi walked round the house checking that the doors and windows were locked, picked up her suitcase from the hall and stepped outside. As she locked the door, the neighbour’s cat spotted her and came trotting across the garden for a fuss. Lexi bent down to stroke it.
‘’Sorry Pepys I haven’t got anything for you today,’’ she said as she stroked his thick, black fur. He responded by rubbing the side of his face affectionately into her. She stood up and loaded her case into the car, ensuring the cat wasn’t under the car before she got in, set up her sat nav and went on her way.
Lexi was a 50-year-old mother of two grown up children; she was a Holistic Lifestyle and Exercise Coach married to her husband, Nathan for twenty years. Four days earlier her life was jogging along nicely. She was happy at work, happy at home and her life was what one would call ‘sweet’. However, three days ago this was all to change.
Nathan was away on business; his work regularly took him away from home. Lexi was at the end of a long day at work at a gym fairly close to where she lived. She had just finished teaching her last class of the day; she switched off the lights and locked up the gym studio, then headed to the reception desk where she handed over the studio keys. The lad on reception looked up as she approached the desk.
“Good one tonight?” he enquired.
“Yes, excellent thank you,” Lexi replied. She loved her job; she loved exercise and everything to do with health and wellbeing and was extremely passionate about what she did, totally driven by it.
“I’m going to hit the sauna before I go home,” she said, finishing with “see you in a bit,’’ and walked off in the direction of the changing rooms.
She opened her locker and checked her phone. She noticed a ‘missed call’ from Nathan and called him back. “Hey, how was your day?” she asked.
“Oh, good thanks, and you?” came his reply.
“Yes, fine thanks. I’m a bit knackered to be honest, I’ve covered someone else’s classes today so I’m going to relax in the sauna for a little while and unwind before I go home. How did last night go?” Nathan was currently working on the final stages of a big project that he’d been working on for the last 18 months.
“Oh, you know, nice meal. We got most of the business done over the table and then spent the rest of the night in the bar!” he replied jovially.
This wasn’t an unusual statement from Nathan.
“Lol, typical,” she laughed. “How many of you?”
“Five of us.”
“Suitable hangover this morning then?” she enquired.
“Not too bad,” came the reply.
“Ok, well, I’m going to get off now, see you when you get back tomorrow, bye, love you.”
With their brief exchange complete, Lexi popped her phone back in the locker and pulled out her towel and swimwear. She removed her sweaty kit and had a nice, hot shower to relax her tired muscles. Towards the end she turned the water down cold, cooling her body right down, taking her breath away and making her gasp a little; then she turned the water back hot again to finish. When she was done, she popped on her bikini and headed for the sauna.
“Oh, bliss,” she exclaimed as she lay her tired body down on her towel on the wooden bench, the heat on her skin instantly relaxing her. There was just one other lady in there who had just participated in her class. They had a little chat and after twenty minutes or so, a very ‘spent’ but suitably chilled-out Lexi, gathered her belongings from her locker and put on her pj’s to drive home. It was now 9pm and she didn’t see any sense in getting dressed just to go home and get undressed again!
Heading back towards the reception desk Lexi saw two of the male gym staff pick up a girl and throw her in the pool fully clothed. It was her birthday, and this was the ritual at the gym when there was any kind of celebration. They were all a little high spirited and counted to three as they swung her over the pool, cheering as they let go on ‘three’ and she flew out of their hands and hit the water.
“You rotten lot!” she exclaimed, dripping wet as she climbed out and they all laughed. By now there was quite a group of staff at the reception desk, socialising and congratulating the birthday girl. At that point Lexi’s phone bleeped to alert her to a text. She fished in her bag for her phone, opened up the message and froze...
Paul was one of the other personal trainers who worked there; he could see from Lexi’s expression something was quite obviously wrong.
“Are you ok Lex?” he asked. Lexi and Paul were very good friends, having worked together for over four years at the gym. They were very like-minded and got on very well both in and outside of work. She looked at him and passed him her phone, presenting him with the message she had just received from her husband.
‘Hey sexy minx, you left your knickers on the floor! P.S. You were amazing last night xx’
“Oi oi!” Paul winked and lightly elbowed her in the side.
