Flirting with Forty Page #4

life. Or something like that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's... That's it.

So, what you're saying is that I

should just get over it someday?

Someday.

So, nothing too dressy, right?

Right. I don't get to watch you change?

No.

Why not?

Because all of the lights are

on, and I've had two children.

I mean, not that I'm complaining.

As you shouldn't because

you happen to look beautiful.

Thank you.

Hey, how about this?

That looks great.

Thank you.

How old are you?

Does it matter?

Am I breaking the law?

Twenty-seven.

I'm definitely not dressing in front of you.

- Hey, you know what you need?

- What do I need?

A bikini.

That's exactly what I don't need.

Get over it.

Someday. Maybe.

Well, what went wrong?

I don't know.

We both met when we were 24 in Paris.

And two years later, he proposed.

We got the first house, had the

first child. Then the second.

And then I realized I

wasn't seeing him anymore.

He was working. I was working.

But when we would go home...

we'd spend more time with

the kids than each other.

And then?

And then...

My birthday cake came.

Yeah, well, make a wish.

Aloha, welcome to Honolulu

International Airport.

Passengers arriving for Flight

...please proceed to baggage area...

Well, Kyle.

Well, Jackie.

It's really nice to meet you.

Come here.

I... I got you a little something.

Just a token to remember your stay.

Thank you. It's nice to meet you.

- You already said that.

- Right. Take care.

- Okay. Have a safe flight.

- Okay.

Happy new year.

Happy new year.

- Nine, eight, seven, six...

- Nine, eight, seven, six...

...five, four, three, two, one.

... Five, four, three, two, one.

Happy new year!

Will, I so know what you

feel like on your board.

I mean, I felt like a

bird. Like I was flying.

That's epic sick, Mom! You got up, brah?

Yeah, brah.

This is awesome.

Look at me. I'm sick, too.

You're so sick!

Can I wear this to school?

Yeah. With a long-sleeved shirt,

so you don't freeze to death.

Mom, we got you stuff. It's your birthday.

- It's from both of us.

- I drew the card.

- Do I have to read it?

- Mommy!

I'm sorry. Okay.

"To Mom. Happy Birthday, Mom.

"Love, Jessica and William. "

Beautiful. Thank you. So sweet. I love it.

Wow! It's beautiful.

That's an aspen leaf.

It's for your keys.

I love it. Thank you.

That's so sweet of you guys.

You know what? I missed you so much.

Give me hugs. Come here.

- We missed you, too, Mom.

- We missed you, too, Mom.

We're in the perfect

position for tickle torture!

It was fun. What more do you want?

Details. Look at her, she's beaming!

Is this about the one-night stand?

You had a one-night stand?

Yes. And one night turned into two.

when he showed up at her

room the next morning.

- No way.

- Start with his name.

His name, Kyle Hamilton.

- How old is he?

- Twenty-seven.

Twenty-seven?

Twenty-seven and a surf instructor.

My goodness! And you had sex with him?

Two days and two nights of just amazing...

It was amazing?

You know, and I owe it all to Kristine.

How does one go about paying you back?

Well, I'm just glad to see you happy.

You know, like my grandmama always said...

"The only way to get over a

man is to get under another. "

Your grandmother said that?

Yes, she did.

- Happy birthday, Jackie.

- Thank you.

You're moving on.

To moving on.

- To moving on.

- To moving on.

When I was rushing to

pack, I forgot my charger...

...and then I got there

and my phone was dead.

Couldn't you use the hotel phone?

Excuse me. It's Jessica's school.

Hello?

What are you wearing?

Jeans and a shirt. How are you?

I'm good. How are you?

Very busy.

Sounds like you need a vacation.

I think you should come back to Hawaii.

I get vacations every five years.

Come on, Jackie. That's no way to live.

Probably not. But I'm with a

client. Can I call you back?

Yeah. Hey, but think about it.

I'd really like to see you again.

I'll call you back.

It was a fling.

Yeah. That's what I thought until he called.

So, was it a fling?

He's a kid, come on.

He's young. I mean, maybe

if he weren't in his 20s.

Excuse me? Have you not

heard of the Moore Phenomenon?

Demi? Julianne Moore?

They're both married to guys that

are 10 years younger than them.

And Katie Couric? She's in her

Katie Couric's boyfriend

is a banker, not a surfer.

Yes. But Kyle is a surf instructor.

A surf instructor who speaks French.

- Did I tell you he speaks French?

- You mentioned it.

What if he's a psycho?

What if he's stalking you?

What if he's a psycho who

stalks lonely, more mature women?

Come on, 40 is not that mature.

And she's not lonely.

Well, I'm a little lonely.

No, but you're not, you

know, desperate, are you?

No, maybe Nicole's right.

I mean, maybe he just hits on

a different tourist every week.

Yeah, and chops them up into little

pieces and puts them in his freezer.

He was sweet. And he

was very tender in a way.

Tender, as in the way he cooks you,

and then we never see you again.

Yeah, exactly.

Okay, you guys, give it up. Give it up.

Maybe this guy is the love of Jackie's life.

There's my baby!

Hi, girls.

So, you're taking the kids for break?

Are you planning a trip?

Not yet.

Well, I am. So I thought

I'd run this by you.

You going to Hawaii to see your boy toy?

Annie told Phil. Phil told me. God, Jackie.

That's really beneath you.

Actually, I was thinking of

seeing my mom in Connecticut.

It's my two weeks, so it's really

none of your business where I go.

Whatever, dude. Surf's up.

Why do you even talk to him?

- Who?

- Dad.

- What do you mean?

- He always makes you upset. I saw you.

Sweetheart, I'm sorry.

You know, sometimes your dad

and I have disagreements...

...and we have to compromise.

I'm sorry you saw me grumpy.

You were happy when you

got back from your trip.

Now you're sad again.

I'm not sad. Really, I'm not.

I like it better when you're happy.

Hey, you've reached Kyle

Hamilton. Leave it here.

Hi, Kyle. It's Jackie Laurens.

I was just thinking about what you said.

...and wondered if you were still interested

in, you know, getting together again.

So, there. Okay.

Call me if you want. Bye.

For your safety,

please do not leave baggage.

...or personal belongings unattended.

For your safety,

please do not leave baggage.

...or personal belongings unattended.

He's not even here.

What am I doing?

That's what I'm doing.

Not bad. You're looking great.

Thanks.

Did I tell you Will's into snowboarding?

He's crazy about it.

He's obsessed with this

Gretchen Bleiler girl.

Yeah. She... She won the

gold at the X Games, right?

I don't know about the X

Games, but blonde, cute, 17.

So Will's into the older women, too?

- Yeah. I guess so.

- Smart kid.

How about Jess?

Jessica's more of the brain.

And she's really smart,

stubborn when she wants to be.

I really miss them.

I bet you do.

No, but they would love it here.

Will would love to learn how to surf.

Why don't you bring them out next time?
