Damien texted Laura. "Hey Laura, can we talk?"Laura responded. "We have nothing to talk about."Damien replied back. "That guy you were with, he was a friend and I mistook him for a hookup, didn't I?"Laura doesn't respond. She's afraid of messing things up with Chey's plan.Damien texted Laura again. "What's Chey up to?"Laura replied back. "Just leave it Damien."He responded. "I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions and not asking first. I won't interfere with Chey's plan. Honestly, Matt needs to get his head out of his ass. I think he really cares for her and it was a shit thing he did to her. Plus, he's been a bear to work with since it happened."She replied back. "Thanks."Damien proceeded on texting Matt. "Hey Matt, don't go near the restaurant. Chey's there with some guy. And you don't want to see them.""Game on." Damien chuckled.Matt saw the message."What the hell?" Matt thought.Matt goes to the restaurant. He sees Chey eating and laughing with some guy. He steals one of h
"Blaine hooked us up." Chey said."I'm liking this guy more and more." Matt replied."Should I be jealous?" She asked."Hmmm, maybe.." Matt chuckled."Matt!" Chey smacked him playfully."No need to turn me on, baby. I'm already hard as steel." Matt smirked.Matt pulled her down onto the bed. He kissed her lips, then trailed lower down her neck to her breasts. She moaned her approval. Her hands moved down to his arousal and took it in her hands."Baby I wanted to hold off for a while but you're driving me crazy. This first time may be quick, but I promise more to come. Or I promise you will come more." Matt said and grinned.Matt reached over and grabbed one of the condoms and ripped the package open with his teeth then put it on."God, that was so sexy!" Chey blushed.Matt laid between her thighs kissing her lips. He used one hand to guide his arousal to her teasing her opening a little by rubbing himself against her. Then slowly entered her making her gasp. It was a tight fit and he
"Ooh look at you miss popularity!" Blaine shouted."That was fun but man, that guy was handsy." Chey responded."What do you mean?" Blaine asked."You didn't see him putting his hands all over me?" Chey answered."I just thought it was a show he was putting on." Blaine replied."Maybe, but it made me nervous." Chey said."Don't worry about it. You'll probably never see him again. He's no one yet, just an opener." Blaine tried to comfort her."I guess." Chey agreed.Matt's band finally came on and performed. He could hardly take his eyes off of her. After the last song Chey and Blaine head backstage."Miss? Can you come with me?" Security stopped Chey and asked her."Can you tell me why?" Chey asked, confused."Someone wants a word with you." Security responded back."Who?" Chey asked."Follow me." Security insisted on her too."Go ahead, I'll be right behind you." Blaine told her.The security guard led Chey to a dressing room. He made Blaine stand outside the door."He'll be right wi
“I thought we had. During the tour you’ll visit during my concerts and afterwards we’ll get together when I’m back home. 2 hours isn’t a big trip. We can take turns and call every day.” Matt responded back.“Your last 2 concerts require a plane ride. I mean I have the money obviously, but I don't like wasting money.” Chey said.“You think spending time with me isn’t worth it?” Matt asked.“That’s not what I meant. I mean we barely got to spend 24 hours together during your concert.” Chey explained.“But it’s only 2 and I can’t go a month without touching you. I’d probably just cancel the concert and visit you instead.” Matt said.“Matt you can’t do that!” Chey shouted.“Then say you’ll come?” Matt responded.“Fine.” She agreed.“Now how about a shower before bed?” Matt asked.Chey and Blaine travel home. The next concert is only a week away. Blaine is going to that one with her also. Laura finally asked James to be her escort to the next charity fundraiser. It's the Friday after the
“Let me see the text.” Laura demanded. “Here.” Chey showed her. “I’m going to rip him a new one.” Laura replied. “No. Let’s just drop it. We need to focus on the charity thing Friday.” Chey demanded. “No honey, we need to focus on you. This is not right!” Laura replied. “Laura please, if I focus on me I’m going to fall apart. Please I need this distraction.” Chey begged. “Well it’s not going to be this Friday but next Saturday week after. And I really could use your help.” Laura responded. “Why?” Chey asked. “It was such a mess. The venue had a pipe burst yesterday. Thousands of dollars damages and repairs are going to take 2 weeks to complete.” Laura explained. “What a mess.” Chey said. “Yeah so I’ve been calling everyone. Caterers guests you name it. I spent six hours on the phone yesterday and only talked to a fourth of the people.” Laura replied. “I will help. I need the work to distract me. I have to keep busy.” Chey said. They spend the next few days callin
“Who’s that?” Matt asked. “You got some damn nerve!” Chey shouted. “I’ve got nerve? I’m not the one avoiding calls from my boyfriend then going out with another guy.” Matt dared. “No. You’re just the guy that tells his “girlfriend” through a text message he won’t be back to their room cause he’s hooking up with an old “friend.” Much worse in my book.” Chey explained. “What the hell are you talking about? I didn’t send any such text.” Matt was confused. “Do you need to see proof? Were you so drunk or on drugs that you don’t remember?” Chey asked furiously. “Show me.” Matt insisted. “Fine here.” Chey grabbed her phone. Chey gave Matt her phone and he read the texts. His face showed disbelief then raging anger. “Look, I swear to you I did not send these texts. Please let me come up and I can explain what happened and show you.” Matt begged. “It’s late Matt. Didn’t you have a concert tonight?” Chey asked. “Yes. And I flew straight here soon as I walked off the stage. Please, do
“Brush your teeth first.” He ordered. “Oh, I’m sorry, does my breath stink?” Chey asked. “No. But I’m not kissing you after another guy has.” Matt said. “Oh, I’m sorry Matt.” Chey said embarrassed. “It’s not your fault. I’m just glad nothing happened.” Matt responded. They get out of the shower and dry off. Matt wraps a towel around his hips. Chey puts her shirt and shorts on and brushes her teeth. She leaves the bathroom and goes to her bedroom. Matt got their water and sat it on the nightstand. He dropped his towel and got in bed. Chey climbed in beside him. “I love you Chey.” Matt said. “I love you too.” Chey replied.They cuddled up and went to sleep. Both relieved and happy to be back together. The next morning Chey wakes up with Matt’s arms still wrapped around her. She lies there enjoying the feel of his arms and the feeling of everything being right in their world. Matt presses his arousal more into her butt. “We’ve been waiting for you to wake up.” Matt said. “What
Chey got dressed and went to work. Luckily, it’s going to be a slow week. She only has one new case. She was afraid it would be awkward with Mike, but he acted normal. Even made a joke when he saw she was tense. Matt texted her within 30 minutes of her arriving at work. Just to check to see if she could get his texts now. Then another text at lunch, and another just after 2pm. By 4pm Chey had everything taken care of at work, and the materials she needed to take home for the week. She texted Matt to let him know she was leaving. Chey arrived home after work. As she walked in, she sees lit candles, flowers, and a card with her name on it. On the kitchen table, there were two place settings with plates full of food."Welcome home baby." Matt said."Oh my God, you're going to spoil me!" Chey blushed."Well, I didn't cook, I ordered the food." He replied."Still, it's amazing!" Chey responded.They ate dinner then cuddled on the couch. They sat and talked till bedtime. Chey stood and
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. I mean I know due to the situation th
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
