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
Chapter 69 Janet “Get rid of her?” I repeated. “Yes. Get rid of her. Break up her relationship with dad before the stupid wedding takes place.” “But dad loves her.” “ So? Dose she love him? No?” “I don’t know Anna, she might.” “Don’t tell me you really believe that gold digger is marrying dad for love? Come on Jan! What is wrong with you?” “Nothing. I just think maybe we shouldn’t get involved. Let’s give them a chance.” She snorted. “Let me guess, since you are now in a relationship with Mr. Perfect, you have suddenly become a romantic. Please!” “Kevin and I are not together anymore.” I said quietly. She looked surprised. “So that explains the long face,” she shrugged. “Well, welcome back to the club.” I sighed. In no mood for jokes. “What happened?” She asked. “Just didn’t work out. I thought he had changed but he hadn’t.” “Guess the Benson sisters are cursed.” She said. “Maybe, but it was good while it lasted, and it made me realize something. If t
Chapter 70 Janet Days later, I forced myself to get up and get on with my life. Yes my heart had been broken, but it was now up to me to pick up the pieces and move forward. I took a hot shower and got dressed, applied my makeup, and combed my hair. I looked at myself in the mirror and tried to smile. I am beautiful, smart, and strong. I told myself. I can get through this. My eyes fell on the necklace Kevin had given me. I closed my eyes, trying to stop myself from remembering the night. Too late. I was remembering how he had kissed me, and how we’d had sex, starting in his car and ending in the hotel. I could feel my underwear getting wet, as I remembered what we had done in the room. Thankfully, the knock on my door interrupted my thoughts. Fran came in. Her eyes widened. “You are up and ready for work? Very good. I am so happy you are back to your old self.” “I am Fran, I have to move on with my life.” She nodded. “Breakfast is ready.” “Be right down.” She lef
Chapter 71 Janet I felt something in my throat and tried to cough, then the tears started rolling. I buried my face in my hands and cried. The tears kept pouring, my mascara streaked, and my nose was running. After crying for a while I pulled myself together. You are stronger than this. I told myself. I hurried into my bathroom. Looking in the mirror I could see I was a mess alright. I washed my face, then reapplied my makeup and took deep breaths to calm down. Why was I even crying? I knew the baby was Kevin’s, that he was a lying jerk and I had broken up with him already. So why did hearing Rita say it upset me so much? Because you still love him, and deep down you were hoping it was a lie. My inner voice told me. I bit back the tears starting to form. I didn’t want to have to do my makeup again. I sighed. The bitch was right. There was no room for me in Kevin’s life anymore. I had to forget him and move on. Dani knocked on the door. “Miss. Benson the meeting is
