That day went with out disaster. We visited my mum who relished telling us both a story about how old Mrs Simpson had stole the remote from the family room and kept muting, turning over and turning off the TV at random moments before falling asleep.


We did go shopping and we popped into the bank where I paid some of my bills. Brought a dress and ate. I had really enjoyed spending time with him and since we have spent two nights together, one with him hanging out with me in the club (much to Jimmy’s displeasure) and the second helping me do my house work before settling down to a movie.


The night before the renewal of the vows we’re both sat on his couch. My dress and his suit hang on the door, he’d cooked and I had gone over the seating plan, editing his speech and now we sit back my head on his shoulder. Some how I’d been roped into helping and though he’d hired a new photographer it was my job to ensure that the new photographer was doing his job properly.


“right. I think its time I head for home” I say sitting up and stretching.


“Stay the night” he said pulling me back down. “Take the spare room, or stay in my bed and I promise to keep my hands to myself. You’re dress make-up and underwear are all here”


It was true, we’d had the dress rehearsal after work the previous day so I already have my clothes here freshly dry cleaned. I grumble, too comfortable to move but knowing that I should. I surrender and say I’ll take the spare room. He turns the television off and picked me up. The apartment is dark there are no lights on and I feel the bed under me when he finally places me down.


When the lamps switch on I notice it is his room I am in and his bed I lay upon. I raise an eyebrow and he just smirks walking over to his cupboard before throwing me one of his t-shirts.

“You M’lady are sharing my bed because I surely wont sleep knowing your so close and not being able to touch you” He leaves the room and I change into the t-shirt. When he re-enters the room his eyes quickly look around the room, he looks surprised I was still there. “You don’t have to stay in this room with me”


“mmhmm” I answer snuggling under the blanket and closing my eyes. He laughed softly to himself before undressing and climbing into bed beside me. The lamp clicked off and he kisses me softly.


“Good night” he whispered pulling me close.


“Good night” I whisper back happy to be able to shelter in the warmth of his arms. The sound of the door bell snapped me out of my state of almost asleep. He growls words but I can’t make them out before the sound of his feet padding away greets my ears. I listen to him opening the door.


“Hey what are you doing here?” his tone is surprise rousing my interest I focus a little harder to hear what’s being said.


“I needed to speak to you” it was a feminine but unfamiliar voice that was accompanied by the sound of shoes against wooden flooring.


“Come in why don’t you?” I wince at his cold sarcastic tone. I hadn’t heard him use such a tone but decided I certainly disliked it.


“I need you back” her words grab my attention and slowly I sit up.


“It’s not an option.” He states flatly. “Stacey. Just leave.”


“I’m pregnant!” she screams the words and I slowly slip out of bed and creep towards the door. I peek through the gap. He’s stood there.


“Leave, I have company” he growls and she whirls to face him, Her beautiful face marred with hurt and tears start to stream down her face.


“I’m here telling you I’m pregnant and you’re worried about some whore you have staying here! Was that why you left me?” She screams and his him. He grabs her, his grip on her arms looks painful.


“Don’t you dare call her a whore. Don’t you dare. After the entire only whore here is you. I can’t even be sure if you’re pregnant after all the lies you told me. Even if you are pregnant I can’t even be sure its mine”


She leans up and kisses him hard. I open the door and lean in the door way as he hesitated before shoving her away. They don’t notice me. He glares at her in disgust. She glares back at him in defiance. I walk into the room; woman’s intuition tells me those tears are real. I walk into the room they both turn their eyes on me. I pick up the box of tissues and pull one out to hand it to her. Her lips move wordlessly recognition in her eyes caught me by surprise.


“Take it this whore doesn’t bite” It takes all my self control to remain neutral. She takes the tissue; she looks me up and down. “It’s late. Emotions are high. This is hardly the time to go discussing such matters; I think you should go home.”


“Bitch, you man stealing whore!” She lunges for me as she screams but Adam easily pulls her away, restraining her.


“Careful Adam, if she is telling the truth about the baby, you don’t want to hurt it” he lets go of her shoving her towards the door.


“This isn’t over.” The woman growls before slamming the door behind her. I run a hand through my hair and try to organise my thoughts. He goes to say some thing, perhaps explain or lie. I don’t know but I stall him with one look.


“It’s not my business” I state though I was hurting, confused and unsure. It was my excuse to hide from those feelings.


“She’ll a lying cheating bitch” he says softly.


“Why did she call me a man stealing Whore?” I ask softly turning my back on him. The silence stretched out between us.


“I think you should sit down” I sat and he looked at me with eyes that tonight did not smile or sparkle but seemed dark. “Stacey and I were going out but two months ago I caught her in bed with one of my best friends. We argued and she came clean about a second affair with her kick boxing trainer. We argued allot but we agreed to work through it. Four weeks later I meet you”


A deep breath from him as he walks to the mini bar and pours us both a drink, he knocks his back and refills the glass before giving me mine and sitting back down. I sip my drink waiting.


“The arguing was still a big problem we and I was just so unhappy so we decided on having a small break. I remembered you. I found your card in my pocket and made a few calls and we spent that night talking, watching you dance. I knew I couldn’t live the lie I had been the past month. I took a chance on you. She and I were still on a break when we first had sex. When I got home I told her I wanted to make the break permanent”


“So I’m a rebound case” The laugh that passes my lips is bitter and I down the shot of whiskey he had given me as tears sting my eyes.


“No. you were the reason I made the break permanent. Because you’re the woman I want to be with and not her. I wish I could find the words to explain myself” He said his eyes boring into mine begging me to believe him. I did believe him but I was still hurt and a little used. I told him so.


“That’s the last thing I wanted to do. I swear” He whispers taking my hands and kneeling before me.


“What if she is pregnant and the baby is yours?” I ask.


“Let’s deal with that when we know for sure. Don’t let her rip us apart before we even get together.”


“Ok” I state and he kisses my lips softly. He pulls me back to bed and turns the light off. I lay with my back to him, he doesn’t snuggle into me, Giving me space to think or what ever.


He lays on his back I can hear his heavy breath. I guess he’s probably wondering if he’d blown it. He needs reassurance and I feel myself wanting his reassurance, his touch his warmth. I roll over and snuggle into his chest. He kisses my forehead softly and wraps his arms around me. Taking the reassurance he needs and providing it to me.


I kiss him softly and I feel him relax and smile softly into the kiss when he realises that he hasn’t lost me. He plays with my hair and I listen to his heart beat. I now know this is not lust though I don’t admit to myself what I suspect it might be.
