Chapter 61 Janet Now I had made up my mind to move in with Kevin, I couldn’t wait to tell him. But it won’t be over the phone. I wanted it to be face to face, preferably over lunch or dinner. I was awake before dawn but lay dreaming of what life with him would be like. Here Fran looked after me, with Kevin, would I have to do chores, or would he? Or would the chores be shared? I grimaced. Kevin didn’t look to me like he could do even the basic chores. He once told me a cleaning agency sent an employee over every week to clean his place, and he ate out most of the time. Would we still keep that arrangement if we lived together? The thought of suddenly being domesticated excited and scared me. Another thing that scared me was telling my family I was moving out. Dad would be sad, but he won’t stop me if he knew it was something I really wanted to do. Lois would be happy to see me go, but I worried how Anna would react. I didn’t want to rub my happy relationship in her face.
Chapter 62 Janet On my way back to work Jason called and texted me repeatedly, but I didn’t answer. I was furious with him. He had no right to butt into my affairs, and his tone was very annoying. I wasn’t a kid dammit! I got to my office and decided to call Kevin and know how he was doing. He didn’t pick up. Maybe he is very busy. I thought But Jason’s word had me worried. Kevin had been acting funny lately, was he hiding something? He had promised me no more secrets and I believed him, but was I making a mistake by trusting him? I shook my head. No, Jason was just being hateful. I loved and trusted Kevin. If we were to live together, I had to. “Everyone was already seated at the dining table when I came in. *********** “Lois and I have an announcement to make.” Dad said. We had just finished dinner and Fran had brought in dessert. He took Lois by the hand and they stood up. We looked at them. Dad was blushing, Lois’s fake smile was wider and
Chapter 63 Kevin My ringing alarm work me up. I cursed. I had been asleep for less than two hours, and it was already time to get up. I had been up most of the night dreaming up ways to get Janet to say yes to my request. For a guy that liked his own space, it was crazy the way I was desperately trying to get her to move in with me. I got up and went to take a shower, then walked into the kitchen butt naked to make coffee. I occasionally went around naked, and why not? I lived alone, even Janet moving in wasn’t going to stop me. “I may even convince her to give it a try.” I muttered, grinning slyly. I looked round the kitchen. Like the rest of my house, it was as neat as a pin. The cleaning service people who cleaned it every week did a great job, and aside making coffee, I did nothing else here. Nearly all my meals were eaten in restaurants. But this was going to change when Janet moved in. I sat on the couch, sipping coffee. The thought of living with her excited me, b
Chapter 64 Kevin I was pacing my living room, anxiously waiting for Rita to arrive. I had told the bitch 8pm, now it was 9:15pm and still no sign of her. I dialed her number she wasn’t picking. What was taking her so long? I wanted this over and done with. On my way home I had stopped at a pharmacy and bought a pregnancy kit. Just when I was about pulling out my hair, the doorbell rang. “I told you 8pm!” I growled as I let her in. “Sorry babe, traffic.” “Why aren’t you answering your phone?” “I didn’t hear it.” She smiled. She came in and dropped on my sofa. “I love this place, any chance I can move in when Kevin Jr is born? I want him to be close to his Dad.” I took a step towards her. “Careful how you push me.” I warned. “I am only being nice. No need to get mad.” “Keep it to yourself.” “Okay, since you are in a bad mood. Can I get a drink?” She asked. “No! Before we do anything you have to do this first.” I went over to the coffee table and picked up
Chapter 65 Janet As I drove home, the Linkin Park song numb kept playing over and over in my head. I was numb with shock. Could I really be three times unlucky? Could three different men all lie and cheat on me? And I was supposed to believe that I wasn’t the problem. I didn’t even know how I got home, I guess I was using my instincts, because I definitely wasn’t using my head. I let myself into the house. Fran came into the hallway when she heard me come in. “Miss Janet I am really disappointed in….what’s wrong?” She asked, alarmed by the look on my face. I just stared at her, too numb to say a word. “Please tell me, what is the matter? What happened?” She sounded scared. Looking at myself later in my vanity mirror I knew why, my face was paper white. I pushed past her and ran upstairs to my room. I was sitting on my bed, staring at myself in my vanity mirror, when Fran came in. “Janet please what is wrong?” She asked. “He lied to me.” My voice was distant.
Chapter 66 Janet I was drifting off to sleep, when there was a knock on the door. “Come in.” I said. Kevin walked in. I jumped out of bed and faced him. “What are you doing here?” I demanded, not believing Fran had let him in. “Please let me explain.” He said gently. “I don’t want to hear it you lying son of a bitch! Now get out!” “I love you.” “You lied to me!” “I was going to tell I swear! I didn’t want to hurt you.” He pleaded. “I don’t care! Now get out!” He grabbed me and kissed me. To my surprise I responded, pulling him closer. He slowly slid down my nightgown and began kissing me all over my body. I moaned as he went lower and lower and...... There was a knock on the door. We ignored it. It grew louder and louder. I woke up. Fran came in with lunch. “You look a lot better Miss. Janet I hope you feel same too.” She said. I smiled uncomfortably. How could I tell Fran I was feeling better because I’d dreamt I had been having sex with the man who br
Chapter 67 Kevin I poured myself another glass of Scotch. I was halfway through my second bottle and still wasn’t drunk. That was the bad thing about being used to alcohol, it was harder to get drunk and I really needed to get drunk. It won’t help me forget Janet, but maybe I could numb this pain piercing through my heart. I had never felt this way about any woman, maybe because I had never loved any woman. But Janet was different. I loved her and couldn’t afford to lose her, yet I was losing her, all because I hadn’t told her the truth on time. I had called Brain as soon as Rita had left. “Damn it! I told you to tell her yourself before she finds out another way!” He yelled after I’d told him what had happened “I was going to tell her tomorrow.” I said panicky. “Fuck! What the hell was Rita doing in your place anyway?” “I asked her to come. I wanted to find out if she was really pregnant. Jan wasn’t suppose to show up.” “This is bad!” “I need to talk to her. I have
Chapter 68 Kevin I didn’t fall asleep till nearly midnight. I kept thinking of a way to Janet’s heart. What did she care about the most? I still hadn’t gotten the answer when I fell asleep. It was a little after midday when I woke up to a painful hangover and my ringing phone. I groaned and vowed for the millionth time never to drink again. I reached for my phone besides me. “Hello?” I asked. “Kevin honey how are you feeling?” Mom asked. “I am doing okay mom and you?” “I am good. Your dad said you had a flu, have you taken medication?” It took me a full minute to realize what she was talking about. “Yeah mom a flu, it was awful but I have taken something for it. How is dad?” “He is great, at first I was worried about you all alone with a flu, then I remembered you had Janet is she there?” “No mom she has gone to work, like I said, I am better now.” Telling the lie was a lot harder than I had thought. “When are you two coming to see us again? How about dinner
