Sleeping With My Husband's Enemy

Chapter 22

Janet's POV

"Well, well, well," he said smiling, "long time no see Janet." I rolled my eyes and sighed.

"Hey." I said. I didn't wanna see this man for the rest of my life. I regret every single minute of my life spent with him.

He licked his lips and just stared at me. I walked past him to get back to the cash register. I paid for my groceries and walked to the car. I put the groceries in the trunk and shut it. I was about to get in the car when I felt someone grabbing my wrist. I turned around and Joaquin was there. I shot a crazy look at him and said, "what do you want?"

"Please hear me out, Janet." he said. I sighed and said, "you got one minute." He looked at me like I was crazy.

"Really, one minute?" He said. I looked at him. "Fifty eight seconds." He sighed and just started to talk. "I was completely wrong for what I did to you. I didn't want to be a father yet, bu-"

"Forty seconds." I said.

"But I couldn't get through my head that I was gonna be a father. I couldn't do it."

"Thirty five."

"Now, I wanna step up and help raise our daughter or son and be a happy family."

"Thirty."

"I promise to be the best father I can be. I'll be there every step of the way."

"Twenty five." I said getting fustrated.

"I'll help with the baby at night. I'll do anything."

"Fifthteen."

"I'll buy everything the baby needs. Food, clothes, shoes-"

"Ten." I said tapping my feet.

"Please, just give me one chance, Janet. Please?"

"Five."

"Trust me," he said holding my hand, " i won't leave you again. I promise. I put it on my grandma's grave that I'll be there for you."

"One." I said. I turned around and got in the car. I turned the car on and left the store. I looked in my mirror to make sure Joaquin didn't come behind me.

I was just gripping the steering wheel so hard. I pulled over to an empty lot and put the car in park. Tears just start pouring out my eyes. I can't go back to the past. Joaquin should've never treated me like that when I told him.

My chest started to hurt and I could barely breath. I looked in the glove department and got my inhaler out. I put the inhaler in my mouth and squirt two pumps in my mouth. My chest started to stop hurting. I took deep breaths and made sure that I was fine.

I put my inhaler up and put the car in drive and went to the house. My chest still hurts a little bit though. I'll go to the doctor later on this week to get a check up.

I pulled up to the house and turned the car off. I put my head on the steering wheel and sighed. My mind just starting to go all over the place. I finally got out the car and grabbed the groceries and took them into the house.

I walked past the living room and saw Ronnie with the twins in his arms sleeping. I put the groceries in the kitchen And went back in the living room and grabbed the twins and took them to their room. I put them to bed and went downstairs to start cooking dinner.

*20 minutes later*

I was putting the final touches on the fajitas when Ronnie came in the kitchen with a muscle shirt on and blue sweatpants. He gave me a kiss on a cheek and grabbed his plate. I put me two fajitas on the plate and walked to the dinning room. I sat my plate down and went back in the kitchen and got two wine glasses and a bottle of red wine.

I sat the glasses down and poured some red wine in them. I put the wine back in the refrigerator and took the glasses in the dinning room. I sat a glass of wine in front of Ronnie and gave a kiss on the cheek. I sat down and began eating my fajitas.

“Your fajitas are the best baby." Ronnie said. I smiled and told him thank you and continue to sip some of the wine. I finished eating my food, washed the dishes, and headed upstairs to the bedroom.  I stripped out of my clothes and went in the bathroom.

I turned the shower on and waited to get warmed up. Once it was warm enough for me, I got in and let the water hit me. This is what I need after the little run in with Joaquin today. I got my strawberry and cream body wash and my wash towel, put the body wash on the towel and washed my body.

I washed my body two more times and let the water hit my body once more. I turned the shower off and dried myself off. I went in my dresser and got a pair of blue with white polka dot hiphugger and one of Ronnie's shirts. I put my hair in a messy bun, put some lotion on, and put my clothes on.

I laid across my bed and got on my phone. I was on Facebook when Ronnie walked in  with the twins. I grabbed RJ and rocked him and played with his hand. I looked over at Ronnie and Nathalie and just smiled. Nathalie looks just like me when I was a baby. RJ looks like me a little bit, but his eyes are hazel and his hair is so soft  like Ronnie's.

I'm proud of my little family. I got the man of my dreams and the most beautiful kids in the world. Everything is just perfect, except for one person.

And that one person is Joaquin.
