The other women

Two.

I looked at this beautiful woman next to me, and I could not help but smile; she was perfect in every way. I was the inperfect one. I just wish I had met Ava before I met my wife, Olivia, but that would be impossible because she is almost 10 years younger than me.

She is 24 and I am turning 34 this year. I knew from the moment I met her that I needed her, she had something special, yes she is fucking gorgeous but not only her looks captivated me, but she also had a glow to her a light I wanted in my life, my relationship with my wife was not good, she was always too busy with friends or our daughter and I think we just fell out of love,

I never spoke about Olivia or Lily, my daughter with Ava, just sometimes. Lily was the light of my life except for Ava; she is 7 this year, and she was also the reason me and Olivia married. I was still in college studying law when she fell pregnant, and I thought marrying her would be the right thing.

When I got partner at the firm I was working for, I was over the moon, and financially, it helped us a lot as Olivia only wanted to be a stay-at-home mom.

But not even all the money in the world, could make me happy like Ava did, I knew that day on the beach that I would make her mine and I also knew it was wrong because there was only one person who would get hurt and that was Ava, but for now I am not willing to let her go. I pull her closer and she smiles.

"What time do you need to leave?" she asks, looking at me with her beautiful big green eyes. "Almost," I say just as my phone rings, I see Olivia's name, and I sigh, sitting up. "Hi" I listened to her bitch and moan about me working so late, and I ran my hands through my hair. "I am almost leaving Olivia; I will be home soon,"

I say, and I see Ava's body language change; she stands up and puts on her dress. I watch her still with my wife's annoying voice in my ears. "I will be home soon," I said, ending the call, and I stood up, getting dressed.

I walked to her as she was fixing her hair and I wrapped my arms around her waist. "I'm sorry," I say, always apologizing; she sighs and turns in my arms. "It's okay, I understand," she says, kissing me, and I kiss her back, worried that one of these days she is going to leave me.

"Will I see you tomorrow?" I ask, and she shakes her head. "I have to fly to New York for a shoot tomorrow, and I don't know what time I will get back," she says, and I nod. "Okay, but text me," I say, and she nods, walking to the door.

I kiss her one more time, hating this I hate that I have to go home to someone else and not her. I got all my things from the hotel and walked to my car. I drove home, and I sat in front of my big house looking at it, taking a deep breath taking my briefcase, and walking into the house, it was already late.

I put my things at the door and walked to the kitchen. "You're home late," Olivia says, and I nod, taking some water. "Sorry, the case I am working on is stressing me," I say, pecking her lips, already missing Ava's lips on me.

"We need to go on holiday so that you can relax," she says, and I nod. "Is Lily sleeping already?" I ask, and she nods. I walk out to kiss my daughter. I walked into her room and smiled; she truly was the only thing that was good for me and Olivia.

I kissed her head and walked to my room to take a shower. I stood under the water and thought of Ava, and I couldn't seem to get her out of my head. Her lips, how her body fits with mine, so perfectly. "Michael," Olivia pulls me from my thoughts, and I look at her through the shower wall.

"Do you want something to eat?" she asks, and I shake my head. "I'm good just tired," I say, and she nods, walking out. I cleaned myself and walked to my room, I heard Olivia downstairs, and I took my phone.

Michael: Did you get home safe?

Ava: I did thanks, I miss you

Michael: I miss you too

I put the phone down as I heard Olivia coming, and she smiled at me, walking to the bathroom. I lay down thinking of Ava, and when she slid into the bed with me, I wished it was Ava I was sleeping next to. She wrapped her arms around my waist and kissed me;

I smiled and cuddled with her. We haven't had sex in a while, and I am thankful because I would have to be thinking of Ava just to get hard; I know it's bad my wife is not even doing it for me anymore. "I mean it when I say you need to go on holiday, you are too stressed these days," she says, and I nod, moving away from her.

"I know it's the case," I say, and she nods. "Lily misses you," she said, and I looked at her; I know I have not been here a lot with the big case and Ava, but I always try to make time for my daughter, that I know.

"I will pick her up from school tomorrow and then me and her can spend the day together." I say, and she nods, smiling, "And us, when are we having a date night?" I sigh is that what she wants? "I don't know, maybe tomorrow evening?" I say, and her face lights up;

I know I need to put in an effort, but I cannot do that if I have Ava in my life, and leaving Olivia is just not an option, with my dad worried about our reputation and the family name. I did not really care about the family name, but I did care about my daughter and if she must ever find out about me and Ava,

I don't know how I will be able to handle it. Ava has never asked me to leave my wife, but she does tell me she wishes she could wake up to me. I know this sneaking around is catching up on her; hell it's catching up on me, but I cannot, and I will not let Ava go, that I know.

"Goodnight," Olivia says, smiling at me, and she turns around, "Goodnight," I say, but I cannot fall asleep; I know what we are doing to Olivia is wrong as well, but the relationship between us is more like roommates.

We don't talk like me and Ava, she cares about my plans for the future and my career. Most of the time me and Olivia only talk about Lily, and that's it, she doesn't ask how my day was, and if she does she doesn't listen,

yes, she is a good wife in the sense that she looks after me makes sure I have dinner, makes sure the house is well kept, and is a good mom to Lily, but emotionally she is not there for me, and 7 months ago I stopped trying with her, it's been 7 months since I met Ava and she has consumed every part of my mind.
