(Here and Now) Is love worth it

Part 20

(What the hell is going on) Part 1 of 2

I decided to have lunch with my husband, so I called his cell it went straight to voicemail, hey babe I wanted to see if you can join me for lunch call me back, I hung up and called the house, Teresa said  that Jasper left out right after I did this morning, I asked her did he say where he was going she said no he didn't. I asked if Pete was with him, she said he's in his office, I told her if he comes back within the hour have him call me, I wanted to have lunch with him, she said she'll do that, I said thank you Teresa and hung up.

That's funny Jasper said he wasn't going out today, I called Pete he should know where my bae is, he answered his phone and I asked him about Jasper he said that Jasper just went to the bathroom he'll have him call me back, he hung up before I could say anything else.

Okay what's going on Teresa said bae wasn't home and Pete said he's in the bathroom, my phone rang and it's Jasper he said he's sorry he missed my call he was in the bathroom, I asked him did he just get home, he said he hasn't been anywhere. I told him Teresa said he left the house right after I did, he said oh he did go out but he came right back, he said he couldn't have lunch with me, but we can have a romantic dinner just us Falisha and Pete are going out, I told him okay I'll see him when I get home I love you, bae said he has to go and hung up.

My secretary buzzed me and said Mrs. Williams is here to see me, I told her to send her in, I got up and walked towards the door, mom Williams walked in, and I kissed her on the cheek, I told her to have a seat. So, mom what brings you here.

Zander, as you know next weekend is Jasper's birthday, before I did anything I wanted to see if you had any plans, he said with Jasper it's so hard sense he doesn't like to celebrate his birthday, but he was going to take him to New York for a day and have dinner and see a show.

I told him OKAY, so I'll have a surprise party for him at my house, it's your job to get him there, he said he'll do that, he did ask me if I noticed that Jasper has been preoccupied with something the last few weeks. I told him actually I have noticed that he rushes to get off the phone, and lately Pete keeps saying Jaspers in the bathroom and ten minutes later he calls me.

I said does he think Jasper has a bladder problem he's always in the bathroom, he said he didn't know but when he called Pete, he told him the same thing and then Jasper called him. I told him it's probably his new work with charities and dealing with the kids, Zander said maybe he should get the kids a nanny.

 I told him Jasper enjoys being with the kids, once he gets things together, he'll slow down, I got up and told Zander remember don't say anything to Jasper and get him to my house around eight on Friday, he said they'll be there he walked me to the door, and I kissed him.

 I asked how's he doing being a father in all, he said he loves it between Jasmine and little Zander they make his day. I told him that's how we felt when we had Jasper even though we married for him, but I have a good relationship with his father, I told Zander I'll be calling him on Friday and I left.

I hope Jasper isn't doing anything to hurt his marriage, I'll have to talk to him.

After Kimberly left, I started thinking, is Jasper cheating on me, now that I think of it, he gets off the phone when I walk into the room, or like today I don't think he was at home, and Pete was covering for him. I made a call and told Shaun I want Jasper followed I want to know where he goes and who he sees, I told him he can start by tracking his car, call me back and let me know where he is, I hung up, God I hope Jasper's not cheating on me.

Ten minutes later Shaun called me back and said right now Jasper is at home, I asked has he been there all the time, Shaun hesitated to tell me, Shaun I'm asking you not as just head of security but my friend, he said he tracked Jasper from the Alexander hotel, I just hung up why would bae lie and say he was at home when he wasn't.

I called Shaun back and told him to come to my office, if Jasper wants to fuck around on me two can play that game, Shaun came in and asked what I needed, I got up and closed the door behind me. I walked up to him and tried to kiss him, he backed away and said no not this way as much as he would like to, I'm marry and I'm just doing this on the rebound because I think Jasper is cheating on me.

He said Jasper's not Michael and he won't do that to me or Jasper, let's just wait and see what's going on with Jasper, I'm sorry Shaun you're right, I love my husband I'm just scared I put so much into him. Shaun said don't go back to the person I was I trusted Jasper enough to marry him like he said let's wait, he walked out of the office, damn how could I try that with Shaun knowing how much I love Jasper, maybe if he is cheating, I'm not doing my part to make him happy. I have been working a lot, I'm going to change all of that.

(The truth)

 Jasper, I don't like lying to Zander, I think he's getting suspicious.

Pete after Sunday you won't have to, and things with Zander will be over, and I can go back to not sneaking around, he said what if someone sees me this town is small and me going to the Alexander Hotel people will see me and talk. I did see my ex- mother-in-law twice, Pete said, she can't keep her mouth shut for shit, she could tell Zander she's seen you there with another man.

I told him that's the chance I have to take, I flew that man in from New York, Pete asked me is he worth the money, I said yes and he's good at what he does, he told me when I'm finished with him give him his number he might want him too.

 Teresa brought the kids in my office, she said she's going to put the kids down for their nap and I said hello, my little ones, Pete said one day he and Ash would like to take the kids out for a playdate. I told him when it's his day off he plays enough on my dime, he called me a hater. Teresa took the kids for their naps.

 Pete and I had lunch and got right back to work; I want Sunday to be the best thing ever for Zander.

 Later Pete said he's going to be with Ash, he won't be home until the morning, I told him remember to tell Ash not to say anything to Zander, I know he told him what I'm doing I'm sure they have pillow talk after they fuck. Pete said they do talk, and they don't always fuck they do make love, I told him whatever they do keep their mouths shut, he left the office.

I told Teresa to feed the kids and I'll give them their baths and put them to bed, I want a romantic dinner out on the terrace with my husband, she said everything is ready, and she'll stay upstairs with the kids. An hour later we took care of the kids, and I got changed for my romantic dinner with my husband.

 My phone rang, I said good he called me on my cell I don't want Zander to know you're calling he could get suspicious; I told him everything is set, and I can't wait for to see him. Zander walked into the room, I said thanks for call, and I hung up, Zander asked who that was, I said that was Raw, he said really and why am I all dressed up are we going to one of my charity affairs, I said something like that so get changed and I'll wait for you downstairs.

Jasper left the room; I heard what he said about he can't wait to see whoever he's seeing, so he is cheating on me, I went to see the kids they were asleep, my precious baby's it looks like we might not be a family, but I'm going to fight for your other daddy. And whatever I'm not doing I'll make it right.
