Painful Deception

Harry opened his mail box when he got back to his flat, closing it again and walking up the stairs he shifted through it. The usual bills, junk mail, a letter from his mum and…a letter from Jacky, the familiar small neat loopy cursive graced the front of the envelope. He quickly threw his keys and the other mail back down on the console table and tore open the letter.

Harry,
I’ve missed you these last five months, it’s been hard not to have your kind words and your gentle touches to get me through my days. A lot has happened in these last five months, as I told you in my previous letter my husband wants an heir from me and he has succeeded. I am now five months pregnant, what he doesn’t know however, is that he isn’t getting the boy that he wants, I am pregnant with a precious baby girl. My pregnancy has also granted me another unexpected thing; he has not hit me nor touched me since he found out. Though he regularly threatens that after I give birth I will get what I deserve I can’t help but exercise my new found power. Which is another reason why I am writing this letter, he(and you know who I’m talking about when I say that) is going to be on a business trip for the next week, so I will have the freedom to enjoy your French lessons again and your company. I will arrive at your flat at 12 o’clock on Monday.

Until Than….

All My Love,

Jacky

Harry grinned to himself; he was going to see her again. He could finally tell her about his plan that he had developed so she could finally leave her husband.


Jacky looked in the entry mirror one last time before she left, she was wearing a brown tweed skirt and a cashmere ivory sweater. She looked different, her face was round, she actually had hips that people noticed, her breasts were larger and her belly was like a little beach ball in front of her. One of the pleasing things about her pregnant body is that the hormones made her hair much more luxurious than it was before. She had been growing it out, it reached her lower back now and her curls had relaxed themselves and created waves in her hair. She was nervous; her anxiety had manifested itself into endless questions in her head. What if he no longer had feelings for her?. She sighed and pulled her peacoat on, if he was no longer romantically interested in her than they would just continue their friendship and she would have to live with the fact that no man loved her. Though she wasn’t exactly sure of that anymore, Mark had been displaying brief periods of kindness and worry about her. After her latest prenatal appointment he asked her if she was feeling well and after a timid answer of her back hurting, he than gave her a massage. She was quite surprised and a bit suspicious, but he made no move to try to have sex with her after, he just went into his office and stayed there until dinner. She stopped thinking about Mark and stepped out of the manor and into the snow, than the back of the Mercedes.
Harry jumped up when, he heard the knock, he looked over his flat one final time and answered the door. There she was, she looked just as beautiful as he remembered her, different but still beautiful. “Hello,” she smiled at him looking a bit nervous and ringing her hands in front of her. “Hi,” he said back feeling a bit foolish. She laughed and raised an eyebrow, “Well, can I come in?,” she asked. Harry grinned, “Yes, Yes, come in,”. He stepped aside and allowed her to step inside closing the door. He helped out of her jacket and as he hid he looked at all the changes he missed. He face was rounder, she was curvier than he remembered and her belly, her belly made the rest of her seem small, it just poked out like she was carrying around a soccer ball. He couldn’t help but feel a little discouraged, she was married to another man and now she was having his baby. “Wow, you really are pregnant,” he said. She smiled and cupped it, making it seem even larger, “Yes, yes I am,”. “I’ve missed you,” he said breaking the awkward tension in the room. Her bottom lip quivered and her eyes filled with tears, she threw her body against him and wrapped her arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around her and rested his chin on her head. Her muffled, “I’ve missed you too” came from somewhere in the middle of his torso. They stood like that for a moment until he felt a movement coming from her belly. He drew away from her and looked down at her belly, “She moves also,”. She smiled, “Yes, she does, she kicks, she pokes me with elbows and lodges her feet in my ribs,”. “Run away with me Jacky, please. You can raise your daughter without that bastard hitting you or yelling at you. You can be happy with me; I own a house in Scotland. It’s not as big as your manor, but it’s away from all this. Away from England, I can support you and you can do whatever you want. You can go to any school you want, I’ll help you with the baby,” he said sincerely looking into her eyes.

Jacky looked into Harry’s brown eyes as he asked her to runaway with him, he was so sincere and what he was offering her she would take in a second, but Mark’s threat still ran in her head. She doubted he would find out about an affair, but if she ran away. She didn’t even want to think about what he would do to Harry. “Harry, I would love to, I really would. But I don’t want to see you get hurt, I couldn’t live with myself if anything happened to you because of me,” she said rubbing his neck with her thumb. She felt him take her hand and put it to his mouth, “Nothing is going to happen to me Jacky, I won’t let anything happen to me,”. Jacky silenced him when she pressed her lips to his, she put all of her feelings for him into the kiss and was pleasantly surprised when he returned her kiss with just as much passion. Her hands found their way to his chest and under his shirt. Her hands explored the lean expanse of his chest and found the sparse hairs that started at his pectorals and trailed down into his trousers. He broke away from her and he cupped her face in his hands, “We don’t have to do anything you don’t want to,”. She smiled and started to pull her sweater off, “I want to do this,” she said back and pulled her sweater off. He smiled and took her hand, leading her into his bedroom. He laid her down on the bed and climbed up her body, taking care of her belly. As they kissed, she moaned into his ear, “Make me forget about everything and just remember this,”.


A/N: So. There it is, she is finally enjoying her life. Please review, I love to hear the constructive criticism and support. Next chapter should be coming out tonight. Hope you like it so far. Oh yeah, I am not writing a sex scene. As someone who has not yet explored those frontiers, it would be awkward if I tried to write one. Neither I nor you would like it. And another thing, can someone tell me how to conact reviewers? Thanks alot.
