I'm not the only one.

Her.

It was about two months ago I came home from my night shift at the hospital early, because they over schedule us. That's the day I started to realize my husband wasn't home at night like he said was.

'Hey honey what are you doing?' I texted Jace. I thought I would surprise him with Chinese take out, his favorite. Work at the hospital got cut short. They messed up my schedule. My phone beeps letting me know I received a message. 'Nothin just home watching TV' he texts back.

Kinda funny since I'm sitting in the living room and he's no way around and his car is gone.

'Are you sure?' I text back.

'Yea babe I think I know where I'm at. Why? What's up?' Is his response.
I decide to take a picture of the food and send it to him while saying. 'Work got cut short. Now I know for a fact your not home because I am sitting here eating this by myself.' My heart sinks and a dreadful feeling comes over me. Where could he be and why would he lie?

Twenty minutes go buy and I get nothing finally my phone buzzes.

'Guess that's why I couldn't find you at work huh.' Along with the text is a photo attached. I click on it so see a beautiful bouquet of flowers with red roses mixed into it. My heart warms, he was trying to surprise me and I just assumed the worst.

'Well hurry home I have a surprise for you too.' I rush to change into that little lace nightie that he likes so much and add the garter and stocking with the heels that turn him on so much.

Fifteen minutes later and the door opens. I get in position on the bed. When he walks in he just stops and stares flowers in hand. "Whoa!" His mouth closes and he walks towards me. "Hey there handsome." I say seductively. Jace hands me the flowers kisses me on the cheek. "Give me five minutes. I just got off work. Let me freshen up." I wrap my arms around his neck, while pressing myself into him. "I could join you." He responds quick. "No I want to slowly peel that off of you." He then rushes to the bathroom. As he does I get a whiff of something sweet. Almost like perfume. I put it to be the flowers and go get a vase while he's showering.

By the time he's done I'm in bed laying down waiting for him. And a very long night of love making takes place. Afterwards we're laying in bed my head on his chest while his hand makes circles on my back the other hand on my thigh our legs intertwined.

"How was work?" I ask.

"Well it kinda sucked. My new client believes his fiance is cheating on him so he hired me to follow her." Jace says tirelessly. I take my hand and start playing with his little chest hair. "Is she?" I question. Jace works for a private investigator.

He sighs. "Unfortunately yes. I have to inform the client tomorrow haha or well today." I look over at the clock sure enough it's almost four in the morning. "I've been sitting outside at a park watching her all day. She was with her kid and a guy. Turns out it's her husband." He says. "Whoa she has a husband and a child and she's fooling around how could she do that!" I never could understand why people cheat. One man is enough for me to think to have two. To hurt the one so call love.

I thought that night was special and amazing oh how I was wrong. That's the night before I started to doubt. I went to work the next day. My coworker and best friend Jamie asked how my night went so I told her everything, when I was finished she looked at me funny. "What?" I ask. She hesitates for a moment so I raise my eyebrow at her. "It's just well. Jace never came here." She mumbles out.

"What?" I repeat. "Well you said that he said that he came here looking for you. But Dannie, Jace never came up here. If he did I would have known I was running the desk all night." I'm stunned, I don't even know what to think. Why would he lie? Why would he have to? Was he really at work? If not where was he? All the thoughts running through my head suddenly stop and I realize I still have that picture he sent me.

I grab my phone looking at the picture I can see the receipt in the background on the the passenger side seat. I zoom in to see the time it was bought. 11:43 I back out so see the time he sent the picture. 11:45 so what he realized he was caught lying and bought them as a cover up?

"Hey Dannie we gotta get to work. You okay?" Jamie brings me out of my thougts. "Yea I'm sure it was a misunderstanding. It's nothing let's get this shift started."
