Earlier that night.....

Jennifer's POV

I just got dressed into a short black tight dress with a slit on the thigh and black heels. I had already did my make-up so I sat in the living room waiting for Joe to come and pick me up. He told me he was going to pick me up at 8:30 and I finished getting dressed at 8:15. Now it's already 9. I'm still waiting for him, I was so excited to go out with him after the big fight we had last night but I think he must of forgot. So I decided to call him but he didn't answer the first time so I called him again and he finally answered but he was breathing heavily.

"Hi baby, are we still on tonight?" I asked since it's almost been an hour.

"Yeah, I'm coming just still got some work to do. I promise I'll be there"

"Ok...I love you" but he already hung up. I just want us to have some time together and talk it out. The fight was so ugly yesterday, I would never cheat on him...with Ryan at least. I feel so bad that he felt that yesterday, I just don't ever want him to go through that.

An hour later and it's already 10, he still isn't here. I called him again and he didn't answer. I sighed while getting up and went to the bedroom to get undressed but I heard my phone ring, I looked at the caller ID and it was joe. "I'm here" he said and hung up, I smiled and went out and he was waiting in the car. I got in and leaned in for a kiss but he wasn't facing me so I kissed his cheek. He put his hand on my inner thigh and backed out the driveway. "I had reservation but obviously it's late. Any requests?" I looked at him a bit hurt since I wanted a romantic set-up but i guess not. "Surprise me" I whispered and he looked at me and smirked.

Not even 10 minutes later we pulled in at Taco Bell. I expected something better but I'll just accept this. We went in and I looked like a celebrity compared to the people in here. He order for me and I sat at a booth waiting for him. Five minutes later and he still wasn't here so I looked behind me to the register and he was talking with a girl behind him. She looked about my age maybe a bit older. I got up and walked to them and overheard their conversation. "How about round five at your house around 2 in the morning?" he said and she nodded walking away. I felt my heart drop, He's cheating on me? I walked back to the booth and sat down while letting my tears escape. A few moments later he walked over to me with the food. "Here you go" he said and passed me my food.

"How long?" I asked referring to the affair without looking at him. "What do you mean? It was quick" he said talking about the food. "How long?" I asked looking at him with my teary eyes. "The affair" I added and he sighed. "How many times?" I asked with my voice cracking. "Lets not talk about it here. Just finish your food." He said putting he straw in his drink. "I said how many times?" I asked. He stopped and looked at me. "Three times" he said. I looked down trying to control my tears. "I wanna go home" I got up and walked to the car and he unlocked it. I got in and put my face in my hands. How could I be so blind sided? He got in a drove home. How could today get any worse? He was late on picking me up, He took me to Taco Bell because he was late, and he is cheating on me. Great.

We got home and he keeps talking to me and telling me all sorts of stuff. 'It didn't mean anything' or 'It was an accident'. That got to me, it was an accident? "What the fuck you mean it was an accident?! An accident happens once, not three times!!" I yelled making him freeze since I never yell. I'm just so hurt, even though we haven't been together that long we still are committed to each other. I just don't know how to feel right now or do. I'm just so tired.

"I'm sorry" he said sincerely and even though I get weak, I have to be strong or he just thinks he can do whatever he wants with me. A man will only do what you allow him to do. "Sorry? Your not sorry." I said with my voice cracking. "I am Jennifer, I truly am." I chuckled looking away. "No you're not, you're just sorry you got caught" he was speechless. I waited for a response but there wasn't any. "I'm going to sleep on the bed, you're on the couch" I said and he scoffed acting like he didn't want to.

"What? You got something to say?" I asked looking at him in the eyes but he looked down. "Oh okay, that's what I thought" I said walking to our room.

I closed the door and stood there with my back against it. I just realized I might have another failed relationship. I slowly started to fall while sliding on the door. Once I hit the ground my tears didn't stop from falling. I just don't understand what makes men think they could do whatever they want and not get punished for it. They think the world evolves around them. All the men I have been with either cheated on me or abused me. Am I really not enough? I do everything I could possibly do but I never seem to find the man that would do anything for me. I just want to be loved. Is that too much to ask for? Can I just simply be loved? that's all I ask for.

After me crying about everything I decided to take a shower. but before going in I looked in the mirror with my messed up make-up from crying and my hair perfectly done and my sexy but classy dress on. I really looked this good to get my heartbroken, wow. After I took a shower I went to bed and tried to sleep but I couldn't, I needed to be held since I'm in such a vulnerable state but I can't since what happened with Joe and I want him to really know that this hurts and he isn't gonna be forgiven just with a sorry.

I've been twisting and turning for about 10 minutes and still can't get comfortable so I got up and wrapped my self with my blanket and walked out the room. I started to walk to Leah's room and I knocked on it but as usual she never answers so I never know if she is awake or not. So I entered and she was sleeping. I didn't want to wake her up but at the same time I wanted to sleep so I woke her up.

"Leah" I whispered while shaking her but she still was asleep. "Leah!" I said a lot louder and she jumped up. "Can you hold me?" she looked at me angerly while laying down and closing her eyes. A second later she lifted her comforter signaling me to lay down with her so I jumped on the bed and squeezed her, I squeezed her for a while. "I can't breathe" she whispered and I loosened my grip. She wrapped her arms around me and I immediately felt safe and went to sleep peacefully.

I fluttered my eyes and seen myself wrapped to Leah. I seen her and instantly got happy so I squeezed a little tighter. "Still can't breathe" she said with her raspy voice. I loosened my grip and looked up at her and she looked down at me. We slowly leaned in and softly landed our lips together. We slowly started to get a little more touchy. I cupped her face while she gripped my ass hard. "hmm" I moaned mixed with a giggle. She pulled me on top of her while she held my thighs. Her kisses started to get a lot more aggressive. While she slipped her tongue in my mouth she flipped us making her on top. We pulled away and she looked at me in the eyes and smiled, I pushed her hair behind her ears and rubbed her cheek. All we did was stare into each other's eyes until I slowly leaned in and connected our lips again. Soon enough we were kissing deeply and rubbing against each other but we heard footsteps and Leah hurriedly pulled away and laid next to me closest to the door.

We heard knock and Joe entered but since Leah has big fluffy sheets he couldn't see me. "Do you know where Jennifer is?" He asked and Leah looked at me and I shook my head signaling her to tell him I'm not here. "She is right here" she said and I groaned, I sat up so he could see me. "Can we talk? It's pretty serious" He said and I got out the bed and followed him out the room while closing Leah's door.

"What is so important?" I asked facing him in the kitchen. "I-I-I someone" He stuttered and I already had thin patient with him so I got mad. "You someone what?" I asked giving him a hand signal to keep going. "The wom-en I had t-the affair with is p-pregnant" As soon as those word left his mouth a tear instantly dropped. I couldn't even breathe or speak I didn't know how to react to this situation. I turned and put my hands on it leaning on them. Right then Leah walked in. "What was so serious you needed to tell her?" she asked while getting the milk out for the cereal. I looked at him letting him answer her but he stood silent so I did the honor of telling her.

"You're gonna be a big sister" I said looking at her with tears in my eyes. Ugh I hate that I'm so emotional. "Dad had to tell you, you were pregnant?" she asked confused. "No baby, I'm not pregnant but someone else is. Would you like to tell her?" I asked Joe and he looked at me with pure anger, He went towards me and grabbed my arm pulling me to our room. He pushed making me stumble against my feet almost making me fall. "What is wrong with you?!" He ignored the question and went in my face. "You think it's cute trying to embarrass me in front of my daughter?" he asked looking in my eyes making me nervous. "You wouldn't be embarrassed if you didn't cheat" I said pushing him away from my face. I think I triggered him because he rushed to me putting his hand around my neck and slamming me on top of the bed earning a whimper from me. "Don't test me Jennifer" he gritted and I inhaled deeply. "Get the fuck off" I gritted and I guess that pushed his last button because he got up bring me with him by my neck and backhanding me making me fall to the ground while holding the right side of my face. I could feel the burning sensation on my face still. "Get up" He gritted and I shook me head no. Next thing I know he pulled me up and slammed me against the wall holding my neck. He picked me up by my neck but kept me against the wall choking me.

"I'm not in the mood to deal with your shit right now" he said while I was struggling to get out of his tight hold. Suddenly he dropped me making me fall on my knees gasping for air.

"I'm hungry go make breakfast" He said and I didn't move. "I said I'm hungry go make breakfast" I got up and made my way to the door but he stopped me by pushing my front against the wall and holding me tight. "Don't tell anyone about this" He said and slapped my ass really hard making me moan in pain. I went to the kitchen and made him breakfast.

What did I get myself into?
