Audrey's pov
Andre had gone out with a friend whilst I decided to meet up with Morgan and heather, as Sydney and Bailey don't like me much and basically blame me for Conan being behind bars.
We're all seated at a very small aestetic coffee shop in the quieter part of New York.
Heather as always, was clicking videos and photos. I swear, I've lost her. She's a lost cause who might never make it out because of the people she surround herself with.
I must admit, I am jealous of her. I never got the joys of wedding planning, a husband that loves me and being a social butterfly ad she is.
She's perfect! And I am not, If I didn't meet Jessica, I probably would've been lonely still.
But I'm happy for her at the same time, I know she loves Conan and how excited she is for her wedding day, maybe if I were closer I would join her but I live in Los Angeles and I can't always expect her to include me via video call.
Maybe, I haven't lost her and it's all in jy head. She's been here with me since middle school and distance will do no harm to us.
"So, I decided on a wedding date." Heather said out of the blue.
"Again?" Morgan asked confused then took a sip of her cappuccino.
"Yeah, Conan didn't like the first one so we had a pillow talk on the best date and we were thinking the 27th of next month" she beamed and I smiled with happiness for her.
"Ahh nice, what a way to end spring!" Heather said and I agreed.
"Oh, by the way Heather, I still need your input on my maid of honor dress. I know your theme is cream white and lavender and I haven't looked for dresses yet as I don't know how you would want me to look like-" Heather cut me of. Politely. With a very awkward smile.
"You're not my maid of honor Audrey" she said and Morgan looked everywhere but me.
"But i-" again I was cut off but this time by a very familiar looking lady.
It was the receptionist from the other day, The one who humiliated me publicly so.
I think her name was Jane, Janet...something along those lines.
"Audrey, can we please talk...in privat?" She pleaded and I looked at Morgan and Heather who just nodded at me.
Janet and I sat outside the cafè.
She is so beautiful! Especially with her black hair tied back in a ponytail and the silver loop earrings along with her red lip and knee length black dress with heels.
She put her black purse on the table then ordered an iced pumpkin spice latte while I remained with my caramel frappè.
"I'm glad I ran into you" she said and I rolled my eyes and she noticed that.
"Look Audrey, I'm sorry ok" she said and as much as I could see sincerity in her eyes and voice, u just couldn't let it pass.
Why would she do that to me? Is she perhaps Trisha/a friend maybe?
"I shouldn't have done that, you don't know me but I know you-" she started then took a a deep breath.
I stayed silent urging her to continue talking.
"I am Adam Renae's first wife. My name is keiko Janet Renae. Adam and I got married young, we were 18 when we got married after our twin boys turned a year old. I think you may know of Trisha, they met when Adam left for college whilst I remained behind with the kids. Within two years they got engaged, i wasn't happy ofcourse but I loved Adam and still love him hence I agreed to be in a monogamous relationship . I thought ut was just gonna be me and Trisha as he said but then you can along, I didn't know about you until Trisha confronted him. He told us that you broke up with him-" she said then took a small sip of her drink.
"-Trisha and I believed him but then he started being inconsistent with our boys, me and Trisha that's when Trisha investigated and found out he was still with you. I fell out of love eventually but I'm staying for my boys, they need him and his support. I told myself I wouldn't involve the boys in this situation and I did stick to that but then when you came to La'vonte and Sprouse, I just got so triggered. I got triggered because you are beautiful and so is Trisha and I just felt like nothing, and I thought if I retaliated with hate on you, I'd feel better but it didnt instead I felt disgusted with myself, he made vows to me and our kids but ofcourse Trisha and yo ucaught his eyes. Tell me Audrey, what is one's wife supposed to act like, feel like watching as his husband falls for other women besides her" Janet broke down and didn't care that people were watching.
Janet is a broken woman who thought hating on me was gonna solve the problem.
She deserves way more than Adam's cheating ass. I was a fool, Adam didn't cheat on me, he cheated on Janet and Trisha.
His wife and fiance, if I had actually fought for him, would I have been just another one of his victims? I'm a monogamous yype of girl, I loved him wayy too much and I think I would've let his words convince me into being his third wife after he married Trisha.
I reached out and squeezed Janet's hand.
"Janet, I'm so sorry. I didn't know he was a married man. I love-loved him alot even after I got married, I yearned only for him. But I'm glad, I didn't fight for him when he proposed, I'm glad I chose to honor my father's wish instead of chasing love because had I chased love, I would've been ruined. Janet you are a strong and beautiful woman who doesn't need Adam, you can divorce him and co-parent and live your life freely eventually you'll find someone whose eyes are only for you" I softly said and she looked at me as if she was in thought.
Then she shaked her head. " I can't do that, my kids love him and think we're happy. I care about my kids happiness more than I do mine, one-day you'll have your own kids and you'll understand why I choose Adam every single day" she said and I nodded not wanting to talk about him anymore.
I got the answered I needed without putting any effort. Janet being here was a sign from God to finally put the Adam chapter behind me and move on with Andre and that's if we'd even work out as there's Nicky and a baby on the way.

"You look beautiful as always Mrs.Hampton" Andre compliemted as I twirled for him.I wore a blue tube evening dress with a slit going from my thigh to my ankels, along with silver heels and silver earrings, and for my hair, I just gelled it down into a low ponytail.
Whilst Andre wore a silky black dress shirt with a few buttons undone and black formal dress pants, with black sneakers and he has his brown hair laying messily on the top of head, making him look very formal yet casual.
He hugged then released me to once again look at me.
"You look exquisite" he said and I blushed once more.
"And you Mr.hampton, are a sight for sore eyes" I said and he smiled shyly then grabbed my hand in his.
"Are you ready?" He asked and I nodded.
And so began our beautiful night. A.k.a our first date ever and I couldn't be more happier.
