Chapter 22Janet.It was nearly midnight when I let myself into the house. I heard noise in the living room and walked in to see Dad, Anna and Fran, having a night cap.You left early, where did you go?” Dad asked.“Kevin and I were in the lounge chatting with some friends.” I lied. “Where is Lois?”“She’s gone to bed. The party exhausted her.” Dad told me.That’s not the only thing that exhausted her. Cheating is hard work. I thought angrily.“Come join us.” Fran said.I smiled slightly thinking how much a member of the family she was. She would make a much better stepmom than that cheating bitch. I wondered why she and dad had never thought of dating.Looking at dad I was happy I had listened to Kevin. Telling him then about Lois would have been a bad idea. “I saw you talking with the mayor, dad.” I said joining them and pouring myself a drink. “ It looked pretty intense.” “Yeah it’s about business. I will tell you all about it tomorrow at the office. But now we need to
Chapter 23Janet“You have a meeting with Mr. Benson at noon.” My secretary announced as I came in that morning.I smiled. Dad always kept things professional at the office. Nothing but business was discussed, he always addressed Anna and I as Miss. Benson, and any messages were passed through our secretary. At first it had made been awkward and annoying to be so formal around him, but I later agreed keeping everything strictly business was better for everyone and the company. And he always made it up to us with extra attention at home.“Thanks Jill.” I said.I entered my office, wondering what dad wanted to see me about. Maybe to discuss the deal he mentioned yesterday. My phone rang. It was Kevin.“Hey.” He said. “Hi. Hope you didn’t wake up with a hangover?” I joked.“All the beer in Texas won’t give me a hangover.” He laughed.“So what’s up? Another event I am to attend with you?” I asked.“Not yet. I’m calling about your step mommy problem.”“What?”“You know, Loi
Chapter 24AnnaDad and Janet had already left for work by the time I came into the dining room. I had slept late and woke with a slight hangover.Fran had breakfast waiting for me. I felt uncomfortable around her as I remembered what Janet had said yesterday, “I know the deal you both struck when she caught you sleeping with Tony.”How did she know? Only one person could have told her, Fran. Tony and I had always been careful whenever he came to the house. Both of us would sneak away from work in the afternoons and meet here, since it was nearer to his office. We always used cabs, never our cars. No one was ever at home in the afternoons. Fran most times would be out shopping, and Lois hadn’t moved in yet. The few times Fran had been home, I would tell her I had come to take a nap and didn’t want to be disturbed. I would make sure she was in another part of the mansion before Tony would sneak in.Then, the day Tony and I decided to stop meeting at the mansion, Lois ha
Chapter 25JanetI sat in my new office staring at my blank computer screen. It was Friday and nearly closing time, but I was still in the office. I had finally moved in this morning. It wasn’t as big as my previous one and though the staff were happy to have me are their new boss, and I had worked with them before, I still would have preferred my old crew. And my old job. I loved marketing I had a passion for it. Public relations was a big change, and I wasn’t ready for any change.I was angry and depressed. Anna was getting married tomorrow and would be living happily ever after, then she would come back and take the job I loved. While I was stuck with a job I didn’t want, and a fake relationship.It was if she was being rewarded for her betrayal and I was being punished!My phone rang. I didn’t bother to look at it. I knew it was Kevin. He had been calling me all day. We had a dinner date yesterday but I had stood him up. I had been too upset to go anywhere, even c
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
