The Best Woman's Secret (GXG)

~Tension~

Ravens POV🖤

I'm in the living room on the couch, reading The Catcher and The Rye as I wait for Jamie to get home from work. I allowed him to apologize for how he acted on Saturday and told me he'd talk to Dakota about the whole abuse thing. Still can't believe how she stood up for me against him even if it was false accusations.

I get up to get some water but the sound of a car door closing multiple times catches my attention. I walk to open the door and see Mikayla and Jamie carrying a very much drunk Dakota out of the car. "What the hell is going on?" I ask folding my arms over my chest. The two heads lift quick and eyes wide like deers caught in headlights.

"Hey Baby." He's definitely tipsy but not drunk. I roll my eyes not surprised.

They walk inside and I can smell the strong scent of alcohol and perfume coming off of Dakota. "What happened?" I ask ask they lay her on the couch.

"Your husband here thought it would be a good idea to take Dakota to a strip club and get her wasted." Mikayla says and I just frown at the fact that Dakota has been around other women. Jealous much?

"Wait why was she drinking? I thought she was sober." I say to Mikayla and I look at Dakota laid out on the couch with her lashes laying on her cheeks and mouth slightly open. Her abs are on full display from the cropped shirt and god she looks delicious.

"We used to drink all the time babe. It was fun. She was just enjoying herself while we caught up." Jamie says and I glare at him.

"Kitchen, now!" I say directing him. He sighs and nods. I hear Mikayla snicker. "Why did you bring her here?" I ask.

"They agreed for Dakota to take you for breakfast to talk about Saturday. So when Dakota called me and told me to pick her up, she said to just bring her here." She shrugs. "It's not my job to question it." She says sighing and running her hands through her hair clearly frustrated. Same girl same.

"Uh thanks I guess. Now I have to deal with two drunken idiots." I mumble and shelaughs.

"Good luck with that. She sleep right now but she'll be hungry in the morning and probably confused so get ready for annoying ass questions and pouting." She says and I laugh and nod.

"Good night Mikayla." I say as I walk her out.

She stops and turns to me. "She's a really good person you know. She's willing to do anything for anyone." She says and I look at her confused but she just smiles and leaves.

I close the door and hear groaning from the kitchen. I roll my eyes and prepare for a long night. I walk into the kitchen and see Jamie drinking water and the sight alone makes me look at him skeptical. "Why aren't you as drunk as Dakota? And why would you get her drunk like that?" I ask my voice calm but he can tell I'm pissed.

He sighs. "Ray we haven't seen each other in over two years. We were having fun. We used to drink like that all the time. Besides her sobriety was intentional not needed. If it was I'd atleast hope she'd tell me and I wouldn't have pushed but she didn't and I didn't. She's fine babe." He stands up and throws away the empty bottle and walks to me. He wraps his arms around my waist and as much I'm hurt by him, I do still love him. "And to answer your other question, I know you don't like when I drink. I drunk only two glasses and ordered the rest for Dakota. I didn't want you mad at me again." He says and I narrow my eyes at him but see him chewing the side of his mouth telling me he's nervous and genuine.

I roll my eyes and peck his lips. I grab his face. "I'm not mad. Anymore." He smiles that gorgeous smile and I swoon. "I love you Jamie. I hope you know that." I say and he nods.
