A Second Chance (Jenlisa)

Chapter Four

Lisa's POV

I was confused after she left the restaurant. Everything she told me hit me like a bucket of ice-cold water. I didn't know how to react or what to say, she completely caught me off guard. I got a couple drinks and then headed towards our penthouse. I needed liquid courage to talk to her. It was only fair to be honest with her and tell her the truth; yes I fucked up and cheated on her. I broke my promised, I told her that I would always be there for her and be faithful to her. But I didn't do it without a reason, yeah why would I have a reason? Jennie was the perfect woman anybody could ask for. She was the best support that anyone could ask for. She was patient, gentle, caring, beautiful, and she was great in bed too. God, why did I cheat on her? That's the question I asked myself over and over the first time I slept with Rosé. It was just supposed to be a one-time thing.

Obviously I'm the bad guy here, but it was a mistake, people make mistakes. Jennie and I hadn't been in good terms for a while. Our marriage was going down hill. I was stressing out about the company. Long hours, long meetings, and many sacrifices we both had to make in order to have the company keep going. Jennie and I made plans for the future, but if course sometimes things don't go your way. Not being able to get those plans going created problems in our marriage. That was another thing on my plate to stress me out on top of everything that I was juggling with at the company. We started drifting apart even more once Jennie started the semester in school. I will forever be grateful for her taking a break from school so I could focus on the company and still be able to spend time together. But things were different when she started school in the fall.

With Jennie being busy with school and I also being busy at work, we started spending less time together and we started arguing often. The more arguments we had, the less I wanted to spend time at home. It got to the point that we both got used to doing our own thing. But I didn't really like doing my own thing. I missed her; I missed her laugh, her smile, making love to her. I guess that is one of the reasons why I caved into Rosé. I was being neglected in that department and Rosé was there, available to take care of me in that way.

I still remember the first time it happened, I felt like a piece of shit for cheating on her.


******************** Flashback ********************

Rosé stopped by the office late because she wanted me to see something important that couldn't wait until the next day. It had been a long day a work and I was far from being done. I knew Jennie had class until late that day, so I knew she wasn't going to be waiting for me. I finished my drink and poured another, I needed to relief some stress. I looked up when I saw the door open and saw the blonde girl walking in wearing a very tight black dress and some heels. I couldn't help but to look at her long legs.

"I would take a drink as well" said the blonde girl with a smirk. I gave her a smile back and got up and poured her a drink.

"Of course, dry or on the rocks?"

"On the rocks of course" she smiled at me once again, but this time her smile was different. She gave me a flirtatious look as she bit her lip. I gave her the drink once I poured it. Our hands briefly touch, I felt a small shock of electricity run through my hand down to my arm.

"So, what was it that you needed me to see with such urgency?" I sat down on my chair and she sat on my desk next to me, crossing her legs. I couldn't help to look at her exposed legs.

"Ok, so this is a new preposition that I have for a contract, but I don't know if it's a good idea" We continue talking about her idea for some time. I noticed her moving her legs from time to time; I knew what she was doing. She was flirting with me, I thought about stopping and telling her to leave. But I already had three drinks, so I didn't mind what she was doing. It had also been some time since Jennie and I had done anything. Once we finished discussing her plan I she got up and got closed to me placing her hands on the armrest of my chair and getting closer to me.

"Well, looks like everything is settled. Is there anything else that I can do for you?" I looked at her as she got close to me.

"Well, there is this one thing that I want" She said a she kept on getting closer to me, I could feel her breath clashing onto my lips. I wanted to move away, but I couldn't. I felt hypnotized by her. I saw her bit down her lips which made me mimic what she did and I whispered.

"What do you want?" I looked at her lips once more and then I looked at her eyes. I could see a fire on them. I knew that I was going to get burn, but I didn't care. I wanted to get burn by her fire. I closed my eyes as I felt her lips clashing into mine. I could feel the intensity on the kiss; she wanted it just as much as I did. She sat down on my lap intensifying the kiss. There was no going back after this.


********************* End of Flashback *********************


That was the first time; the first time I broke my promise. People say the hardest thing to do is to do something for the first time, it that was true. After that it was easier to do things behind Jennie's back. All I had to tell her was that I was staying late or something came up last minute and I had to stay longer hours. She didn't like the idea of me having to stay late, but she didn't really make a big deal about it. She was busy with her own work.

By the time I got home I walked in but she wasn't home. I looked for her throughout the house but nothing. I called her and texted her multiple times, but there was no answer either. I decided to give her space, I knew soon or later she will return home.

Days passed and I was still trying to get a hold of her but nothing. I got tired of calling her, texting her, and leaving her voicemails. I had so much going on at work and was falling behind that I needed to focus on that.

I got home from work, tired and exhausted. I walked to the kitchen to get a glass of wine when I saw a note on the center of the kitchen island. As I got close I immediately recognized the handwriting, it was hers. I also noticed saw else next to the letter, it was her wedding ring. I picked up the paper and read its contents carefully.

"Lisa, it hurts me writing this letter but, I need to know what exactly happened to us. How did we end up like this? I know I'm at fault and I wish I could've been able to do something to get what we wanted. If I would've been a good wife and had given you the attention you needed, you wouldn't have looked for that on her. I know I'm at fault for pushing you away the last few months, but you have to understand it was harder for me.

I wish you nothing but the best; I hope you can be happy, whether is with Rosé or whoever you want to be happy with. Just know that I love you with all my heart and I wish things would've been different.

- Jennie"

I felt tears rolled down my eyes, I would'vegiven anything for this not to happen. All this was a mistake. I wish I 'dfight harder and not give into temptation. Jennie was perfect for me, I didn'twant anyone one else but her. She was my happy place, my safe place and my bestfriend. But I lost her, "Was it worth it?" I could still hear her voicesaying those words. No it wasn't, it wasn't worth it. None of it was worth itat the stake of losing her.
