Chapter 26JanetKevin stopped laughing at once. “Look I’m sorry-““Fuck off!” I yelled throwing my spoon at him. I went to stand by the window, looking down at the busy streets.He came to stand besides me.“ I’m not laughing at you,” he said softly. “I swear. I just find it funny he could leave a woman like you for someone like Anna. I mean come on! I thought it was with someone at least half as hot as you, I mean, have you seen her?”“That’s my sister you are talking about.” I snapped.“I am sorry. Really. Betrayal is horrible. But hey, he isn’t much of a loss. You should be pleased to be rid of the backstabbing asshole.”“Why do I end up with cheats?” I cried. “ What is wrong with me?”“Nothing. Nothing is wrong with you. Everything is wrong with them.” Kevin soothed me.“You won’t say that if you knew.” I sobbed.“What do you mean?” He asked. I left him, came back to my desk, and took a long drink of wine. Then slumped in my chair. He handed me a tissue from t
Chapter 27Kevin“Looks like my advice is working.” I told Janet as we stood besides each other at the buffet table.We were at Anna and Tony’s wedding reception.“You seem really happy.” I continued, “looking at you it's hard to believe yesterday you were a hysterical mess.”She elbowed me in the ribs.“Ouch!” I said.“Serves you right.” She said.“But I am right, you are feeling better.”“Thanks to you,” she admitted, “I have come to realized I am not responsible for other people’s flaws. They cheated, that’s on them not me, so yeah I am better. No more sad faces.”“Cool. We should celebrate. Let’s go to Club 101 later and give the gossip blogs something to talk about.” I suggested.“Let’s dance first.” She led me to the dance floor as the dance music started up.I held her close, my arm around her waist, feeling my dick reacting to the softness of her body. She felt it too and looked up at me.“Suppose we get out of her and go somewhere more quiet?” I asked looking
Chapter 28 Kevin I woke up with a splitting headache, my usual punishment whenever I got shitfaced. I groaned as I tried to open my eyes. “Hey babe, awake already?” My eyes snapped open. I saw Rita, wearing one my shirts, coming into the living room from the kitchen with a cup of coffee. Surprised I struggled to sit up. “What the hell are you doing here?” I demanded. “Waiting for you to wake up so we can continue our fucking.” She said, sitting across me and spreading her legs. “What are you talking about?” I frowned. “Don’t tell me you don’t remember. We went like, what? A dozen rounds?” She smiled slyly. “It was better than the first time.” “You’re lying.” I said. “Don’t act stupid. You couldn’t get enough of me.” I scratched my head, frowning slightly, trying to remember what had gone down last night. She had come over, I had been drunk, we had kissed and headed to the bedroom then…..? I had pulled back. I know that. I looked down. I was in my underwear
Chapter 28 Janet Normally I didn’t hate Mondays, but driving to work this Monday morning, I wished the day could be abolished. My emotions were a mess. I was upset, angry, and irritated. On Saturday I had been reminded by the woman who would have been my mother in law how much I had loved her son. I thought I had succeeded in killing the feeling, but I had been wrong. Her words had brought back happy memories of Tony and I that were also painful. It had killed my mood and I had just wanted to go home and cry. I knew I was being unfair to Kevin, who had been doing his best to make me feel better. So on Sunday afternoon I decided to go see him and apologize, but he’d been with on of his whores. I wasn’t surprised. He was Kevin Watson after all, and the asshole was know for fucking anything and everything with tits. Did I really think he had changed because we were now fake dating? Or that I was somehow special and he would respect me enough to sheath his cock while our p
Chapter 29 Janet “So what do you do?” I asked him. I had just finished telling him about my job. We had been talking for a while and had discovered our likes were almost identical. “I am a hedge fund manager.” He said. “I worked in an investment bank in New York. It was pretty boring, so I quit last month and hopped on the first plane to Texas.” “You are hoping to find a more challenging job here?” I asked. “That, and I’ve heard the most beautiful women in the world are in Dallas. Looking at you I can say they are right.” I raised my brows. He laughed. “It is true." “Thanks. So have you found the dream job yet?” I asked. “Not yet, but I know I will. Still trying to find my way around the city.” “Are you thinking of joining Gabhill?" “No, real-estate isn’t for me. I actually came for an interview in the insurance company next door. They had zero parking space so I decided to steal yours. Are you going to snitch on me?” He smiled. I laughed. “ Mayb
Chapter 31 Anna “Babe…babe.” I called. Tony looked up from his phone. “Hmm?” “Are you okay?” I asked, sitting next to him. “ You have been distracted since yesterday?” “I’m fine.” “You are frowning. What are you looking at on your phone?” “It’s nothing. Just news.” “What kind of news? Anything about the companies?” “No it’s all good. What were you saying?” “I was saying let’s go enjoy our last day in the city. We can have fun and then go shopping. I want to buy some souvenirs to take back to everyone.” He shook his head. “ You go ahead. I want to start packing.” “Are you sure? We can do that when we come back.” “No, the earlier the better. Go enjoy yourself.” I was a little disappointed. “Okay then. What do you think I should buy for Fran?” He shrugged. “ Jewelry would be nice. A necklace or watch.” “Great idea.” I kissed him and noticed him tense. “Are you sure you are okay?” I asked. “Sure.” He forced a smile. I grabbed my purse on the dressing
Chapter 32 Anna I couldn’t stop the shock showing on my face. “What are talking about? Where is this coming from?” I asked, trying to control myself. “Yes or no?” He asked looking at me. “Of course I am. Why are you asking me this?” He looked at me for a long time, then picked up something on the coffee table in front of him and walked over to me. “Here,” he said stretching it to me. “What is that?” I asked knowing the answer. “A pregnancy kit. Take it. Run a test now. I want to see the result myself.” I felt myself go pale. I couldn’t take it. “Go on Anna, if you are really pregnant then do it.” “Why?” “Just do it.” “Don’t you trust me anymore? What is going on?” “This isn’t about trust! Run the test now!” “No.” I said. “ There is no need for this. I taken the test before and I am pregnant. I am not taking another one.” He stared at me. “For the last time Anna, are you pregnant?” “Yes! For fuck sake, what the hell has gotten into you? Why all these
Chapter 33 Janet I felt a tap on my arm, which jolted me out of my reverie. Startled, I looked at Liz, one of Gabhills new interns and my assistant. We were in my office working on new ways to improve Gabhills P.R. She had been telling me all the great ideas she had, but I wasn’t paying attention. “Is everything alright Ms. Benson” She asked looking at me with surprise and concern. “Yes of course.” “Are you sure? You looked faraway.” “No. I am fine.” I insisted. “Okay so what do you think?” “Think?” I asked blankly. “ Think about what?” “What I just said. My ideas on the ways to improve our P.R.” I hadn’t heard a word she’d said. “Sorry my mind wandered, please what were they again?” I asked embarrassed. She started to tell me and I tried to concentrate, but my mind kept wandering. Yesterday Anna had phoned to say she and Tony had arrived Dallas. They were expected for dinner tonight. The thought of both of them sitting across me at the dining table mad
