The Affair

Chapter 21

Brett

Tess got back around 11:30 and I felt my heart drop to my ass when I saw Kristen's underwear laying on the floor. "Hey."

"How was dinner?"

"Good."

Tess looked down and scowled when she saw the underwear. "Who's is this?"

"It must be yours."

Tess scowled. "This thong is two sizes larger than mine."

"It must be yours."

"No, it's not. Did you cheat on me?"

"No! I would never."

Tess raised her eyebrows and smiled. "What am I talking about? I'm sorry for accusing you. I know you would never."

If only she really knew what we have been doing behind her back. "I promise I wouldn't, Tess."

"I sure would hope not. I can't wait to have our baby."

Once Tess fell asleep, I grabbed Kristen's underwear and shoved it in my drawer. If this is the only souvenir I could keep to think about her, I would.

I grabbed my phone but scowled when I saw Kristen's profile was private. Did she remove me? No. She wouldn't have, there's no way.

Kristen

I laid in my bed, feeling ashamed of myself. The only thing I could do was remove Brett off of everything. It didn't matter how much I liked him, he had other things to focus on and so did I. He would be a father in just a few short months, and he had to focus on being a good husband and father.

"I'm sorry this is happening."

"It's fine, Zoey. I was stupid to even sleep with him."

"We all make mistakes, Kris."

"We do, but this is something serious."

"I sure wouldn't regret it."

"I don't. But I need to forget about him."

"He sure does not seem to be very excited to become a father."

"Honestly, not at all but he has no choice. My sister would kill both of us if she ever found out."
