Why are you being like this?” Adam said. “Adam, I have not been texting you. I’m in a relationship, and we’re living together. I’m living with Matt here.” Chey explained. “Let’s go somewhere we can talk.” Matt said. “Sure.” Adam agreed. Chey looked over and saw Angel smiling and walked over to her. “If I find out you did this, and make no mistake I will find out. I’ll have you brought up on charges and since you obviously know a lot about my life you know what law firm I work for.” Chey said aggressively.Chey, Adam, and Matt left and went to an all night diner down the street. “So Adam first of all I don’t know who you’ve been texting, but it wasn’t me.

I'm 35 years Old. I got married at age 18. I thought I was in love. But after 17 years I wonder if I even know what true love is.We tried having kids. 5 years into our marriage I had a miscarriage. The only time I ever got pregnant and it ended at 8 weeks.I don't know if you could technically call it a baby. There never was a heartbeat. But it didn't hurt any less. That was 12 years ago.It still makes me sad to think about it. Especially since it happened the day after my birthday. I loved reading love stories and watching movies. So I could escape my pitiful sad life.I used to rage at the movies where the female stayed with the abuser. Then I became to understand way too much. NO my husband didn't hurt me physically. It was all emotional. Name calling. screaming matches, accusations.It's been going on since our 2nd year Of marriage. I would love to leave him. But I have no family, no way to support myself. My job doesn't pay enough for me to be on my own. So, I pray every night

We both laughed. Pat knows my whole story. She’s kind of like a mom to me. I have her and one bff, sad I know. After lunch the boss comes to our office. “Ladies, I’d like you to meet Grant. He needs a desk to set up. He’ll be here for the next 2 days. He’s going to work on our ordering process. Try to get us set up so we order the right amounts of products since we’ve been running out of some and over-stocked on others.” Edward explained. “Yes sir.” McKenize responded. “I know there’s an empty desk here in your office. And he’ll need to meet with the supervisor to show him the new ordering process. So help him with whatever he needs.” Edward said. “Yes sir.” McKenzie said. “There are plug-ins behind the desk. If you need more than 2 let me know.” She proceeded. “That will be enough.” He smiled. Pat watched and smiled. I have never cheated on my husband, but Grant is damn tempting. Of course there’s a ten year age gap too. I need to focus. Besides he’s hot as hell, and looks li

“Look babe, I have to go to work early, 4 to 4 shifts. We’re short on people for this week.” Leonard said. “Okay.” Kenzie said. “I’ll give Mary the money for the ticket. But you’re not going.” Leonard said. “I’m at work and not supposed to be on my phone. But I am going tonight with my friend. You may be my husband but you don’t own me. You can’t forbid me to go out with my friend. I’m 35, not a child.” McKenzie said. “You’re not going, end of story. I’ll expect you to be home.” Leonard replied. “I can’t help it if you have insecurities. I’ve never cheated on you nor gave you any reason to think so. But that doesn’t stop you from accusing me does it? Look I’m going, end of story.” She said. I get up and go to the bathroom, so embarrassed that I said that with Grant in the room. ***Pat’s POV*** I wish she could get away from that man! “So that was her husband?” Grant asked. “Yeah, a real piece of shit. He treats her like crap, and tries to control her every move. I wi

"Hi Mary what's up?" Kenzie asked."You know why I'm calling." Mary replied.“You know I don’t do bars and Leo would, well let’s just say that’s not a can of worms I want to open.” Kenzie said. “Come on, this is my birthday gift to you.” Mary said. "Leo would blow a gasket." Kenzie replied.“Then don’t tell him. How will he know anyway? The bar is an hour away. I chose it specifically for that reason!” Mary replied. “You know what, fine I’ll do it! What’s the name of the bar?” Kenzie asked. “Yay! Cowboy up.” Mary shouted. “Cowboy Up? Are you for real?” Kenzie said. “Yep, I’ll pick you up at 6pm.” Mary said. “I have a bad feeling, but okay.” Kenzie explained. “Byeee.” Mary replied. “Bye.” Kenzie repeated.“So cowboy up?” Grant asked. Kenzie jumped because she didn’t know he was behind her.“Ah yeah, some bar my girlfriend goes to. She wants to take me there for my birthday.” Kenzie responded. “I take it you don’t like bars?” Grant asked. “No. And I don’t like alcohol either

In slow motion his head leans towards mine. My heart skips a beat and before I can stop myself I lean into his kiss. And never in my entire life have I ever felt such feelings. Desire, passion, want, need, lust, you name it. Why oh why did I ever settle for Leo when feelings like this existed? I know why, I was young and stupid. I confused great sex with a guy who was showing me attention and possessiveness with love. Not that this was love, my God I barely knew the guy. How long we stood there kissing I’ll never know. But guilt reared its ugly head and I pulled back.“You’re amazing. That kiss was breathtaking. Just one kiss and you’ve got my whole body wanting you.” He whispered. “Grant, please don’t say that.” Kenzie replied. “Don’t deny it. There’s something between us. I would never go after a married woman. But the attraction I feel for you is so strong. I can’t deny it and knowing the marriage you’re in is so horrible, it’s killing me. And God forgive me, but I don’t feel g

Could I be? Or is it the stress? I wash my face and brush my teeth again. The police escort is here to take me to the hospital. I get to the hospital and Grant is signing his release papers to leave. “We need to stop at the pharmacy. I need to get some gauze to change the dressing on my hand." Grant replied.“Umm, yeah I need to stop and get something as well.” I said. “Oh? What?” Grant said. “Well.. I ah.. Gosh this is so not the time, and so hard to say.” I stuttered. “Darling what’s wrong?” Grant asked. “Well I thought it was nerves, but I’m not sure..” I replied.“Not sure about what?” Grant asked. “I’ve been getting nauseous. And I’ve thrown up a few times.” I explained. “Something you ate?” Grant asked. “No, I don't think so.” I denied. “Stomach bug?” Grant asked. “No.” I replied.. “I don’t understand?” Grant was confused. “I think I might be pregnant.” I blurted. “Say something please?” I begged. “I’m just caught by surprise.

The ambulance and police finally get there after what seemed like forever. They take Grant to the hospital but I have to stay behind to talk to the police and the detective. “Yes, that's definitely brake fluid. I’m going to go look under his truck at his brake lines. I’ll also have a professional look it over. I’ll be in touch.” Detective said. “Okay, thanks! I need to get to the hospital.” I said. I go to the condo and get my stuff and call an uber for the hospital. I get there and have to wait in the waiting room until they get him in a room. “Are you family of Grant’s?” Dr.Greene asked. “Yes. We live together.” I replied. “I can’t discuss his condition without you being family or his consent. But he is in a room now and you can see him.” Dr.Greene said. “Thank you, that’s perfectly fine. I understand your policy.” I responded. I went into his room, sick to my stomach. He’s here because of me. Because of my deranged ex. His head is bandaged and his face is pa

KENZIE'S POINT OF VIEW He’s so angry and I’ve not heard him use the f word. Grant’s not the kind that curses, one of the things I love about him. He doesn’t smoke either and drinking is strictly a glass at special dinners. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I should have been here to make sure you had an escort home.” Grant said. “I didn’t want you to be worried while you were driving. And we can’t let his bullshit control our life. You have work and I have work. I took an uber and I will from now on, on the days you’re gone.” I said. “Okay, but I want you straight home and not to go anywhere. You’re safe here and at work.” Grant said. “I know and I will. I promise.” I agreed. Good, let’s eat before it gets cold.” Grant replied. After we ate, we watched a movie. And half way through it we couldn’t keep our hands off each other. The rest of the movie was forgotten. “You make me insane everytime I see you. I want to take you to bed and strip your clothes off you. And make lov

KENZIE’S POINT OF VIEW We lay there for several minutes waiting for our breathing to calm down. And I realize this is real love. I’ve never felt this much, it’s more than sex. it’s mind, body, and heart. Wow 36 years old before I find real true love! He leans down and his lips meet mine. No hurry, taking his time enjoying the pure bliss and aftermath of our love making. He lays down beside me and when his body leaves mine I feel so empty. He pulls me into his arms and kisses me again. We’re laying on our sides facing each other. His legs tangled in mine, his arms wrapped around me. END OF KENZIE’s Point of view “Wow, that was amazing. It was the best I’ve ever experienced.” Grant said. “Me too.” Kenzie agreed. “Give me a few minutes and I want a repeat.” Grant smiled. “Ah Grant?” Kenzie said. “Hmm?” Grant said. “We didn’t use protection.” Kenzie said. “You’re not on the pill?” Grant asked. “No. I can’t take the pill. I have a condition that makes me highly suscep

“Yes?” Grant said. “Umm he can’t get up here right?” Kenzie asked. “No he can’t. Even after he gets out of jail don’t worry about him coming back here.” Grant replied. “Okay, would you..” Kenzie started to say. “Would I do what??” Grant asked. “Uh, nothing, never mind. See you in the morning.” Kenzie said. “What is it Kenzie?” Grant asked. “I just, um, I don’t want to be alone.” Kenzie responded. “Would you like for me to sleep with you tonight?” Grant asked. “Would you mind? I mean just sleep, that’s all.” Kenzie blushed. “Go to bed, I’ll be there in a few minutes.” Grant said. Grant made sure the door was locked. Then he went to his room to change clothes. He put on gray joggers and no shirt. “Oh my, I didn’t think this through. I don’t think I’m getting any sleep tonight.” Kenzie thought. “Ah, where’s your shirt?” Kenzie asked. “You’re lucky I have joggers on. I normally sleep in my boxers.” Grant responded. He climbed in bed behind her. Her heart was b

It must be Bob or Grant. Bob has been bragging so much about how well the office is running now. She went to the front desk. There’s a beautiful flower bouquet. “I’m McKenzie Berkley.” Kenzie said. Front desk said. “ This is for you. They are so beautiful.” “Yes, they are. Thank you!” Kenzie said. “Miss me?” Leo said. He’s right behind her and the fear is stuck in her throat. Slowly she turned to him holding her breath.“What are you doing here?” Kenzie asked. “I came to collect my wife.” Leo said. "I don’t know if my face is pale from fear or red from embarrassment as the front desk clerk knows I’m living with Grant." Kenzie thought.“Ex-wife, and I’m not going anywhere with you. I left you and filed for divorce.” Kenzie said. “And I refused the divorce and you are coming home where you belong.” Leo grabbed her wrist. “No I am not! I am home. I live here now!” Kenzie said. “How can you afford this?” Leo asked. “That’s none of your business.” Her face turned red. He squeez

“We don’t need privacy. I broke up with you almost a year ago. Why do you keep showing up where you’re not wanted?!” Grant shouted. “But baby you know our parents want us to marry, have kids, be with our own kind.” Amber responded. “Holden, you were supposed to keep my alien status a secret!” Kenzie crossed her arms. He bursts out laughing and she gives me the death glare. “You think you’re funny don’t you?” Amber asked. “Ah, Holden, you should read this text from Mary.” Kenzie said. “Yeah, I know I am. I’d rather be funny than a desperate woman.” Kenzie said. “Look Amber, for the last time I don’t love you. I am not marrying you. As a matter of fact I’m in love and seeing someone else. So don’t come back here.” Grant replied. “You don’t mean this old hag do you?! Please tell me you’re joking?!!” Amber said. “Shut your mouth! Leave now before I call security! And don’t come back!” Grant yelled. I open the door and held it open. She storms out. “I see, I’m not the only one w

“I want to say yes, but I feel it’s a bad idea.” Kenzie saId. “You saw how big my condo is, It’s paid for. All I pay are utilities. Stuff I pay whether you’re there or not.” Grant explained. “Let me pay half?” Kenzie said. “If it will get you to say yes, okay.” Grant said. “Are you going to tell Leo?” Grant asked. “No, I’ll leave a note when I leave.” Kenzie responded. Kenzie didn't tell him about the one time she packed to leave and Leo threatened to kill her. Telling her he’d rather her be dead than with someone else. Or the many times he said if he caught her with another man he’d kill them both. It’s all talk, she thinks. She's moving 6 hours away and not telling him where. She goes on lunch break to the courthouse and picked up the paperwork she needs to fill out for the divorce. She'll file it the Friday she leaves. Mary and Pat are going to help her pack at the last minute. All she really has are her clothes. Grant is bringing his truck after Leo leaves for work. Her

“I can draft a letter for you and list my info, and say It’s a training trip. And maybe you could stay a couple days?” Grant said. “I don’t think I can afford that.” She responded. “You could ride down with me on Sunday and then I can drive you back when you’re ready. I’ve got vacation days I can take. And I have a 3 bedroom condo. So you don't need a hotel.” Grant explained. “I don't know if that’s a good idea.” She said. “I promise to be a complete gentleman. No funny business.” Grant said. “Okay.” Kenzie said. So I tell Pat and she’s more excited than me. She’s going to help my cover story in case Leo calls my work. When the letter came in the mail Leo threw one hell of a fit. Said he forbade me to go. We fought every day, I almost backed out. But Sunday came and I had my luggage and met Grant at my office so I could leave my car. “How bad was it today?” Grant asked. “Just more ranting and cursing.” She said. “I found several very affordable apartments in goo
