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
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
