My Husband's Lover

I never saw the day coming
That you would ever wanna leave me
Baby, you told me no matter what
Your heart would always be for me
Always be for me

Chapter Thirteen
"Here is fine. Please, stop the car" Jace said, at the driver. We were inside the limousine, on the way to celebrate our birthday. Since our family came by last night, they encouraged us to go for a dinner and have lots of fun since it was our birthday. But I didn't think that will be happening either.
"Why are we stopping?" I asked, glancing at Jace.
"I'm sorry Amy, I can't celebrate your birthday tonight with you"
It felt like everything stopped, like this moment was captured and I will have to remember it everyday for the rest of my life.
He turned to me, and said "Jordan called me last night, she's out early tonight and she said she'll celebrate my birthday so I must be with her"
I didn't hear the rest of what he said, my mind had completely gone blank. His voice came to the surface though, but it was very faint. I could only hear a few bits of pieces like 'I booked you all sorts of entertainment so that you can enjoy your birthday. Our driver Jack will accompany you and I'm guaranteed you'll have fun"
I nodded, my lips formed into a tight smile.
"Here" he said, a credit card in his hand. "Take this, and buy whatever you wanted. I don't care how much you spend" I took it, careful not to let our fingers touch.
"That's great that you'll see her, tonight. It means that your wish will come true"
"You're not upset?" he asked.
"Me? Why would I? You've booked me a lot of stuff tonight and I'll go have fun. I'm really happy for you" I stared down at the dress I was wearing, my hands uncontrollably skimming down the silky fabric. It was like we were back at the wedding.
"Then tonight--" I cut him off.
"Don't worry about me, I'll have fun. Really" I reassured.
"Go, and meet Jordan" I said, giving him a little push.
He got out and walked around the car, and knocked at the window.
"What is it?" I asked, gazing up at his deep emerald eyes. He was truly beautiful.
"I don't want to be late for those events, do I?" I turned my head toward the driver and said "Let's go"
The car reversed and I waved at Jace. He was a figure that became very little as we went further away from where he stood.
When we seemed to be away from him, the tears I was holding back before came rushing to my eyes. My vision blurred and I blinked it away.
Jack, the driver spoke "Young Mistress, do not be upset. Mr Johnson had prepared great events for you to attend and I'm sure you will have fun"
I looked over at him, and he waved a few tickets in my way. "He even bought tickets, and he said that you like to watch movies so that you can watch every show that was on"
Sure, I have all those stuff. But where is the one I mostly wanted the most? The one I wanted to spend my birthday with, I thought.
I wiped the tear off and asked the driver if he could take me somewhere else. But he complied, "But Miss, Mr Johnson said to get you to the parties he booked for you and I shall deliver you there safely"
"But could you drop me off to my friend Ashley, first please?" I asked. I only wanted to spend the day today with Ashley, since she didn't have plans.
I took my phone out and speed dialed her number, she picked up in the fourth ring. "Hello?" she said, at the other end of the line.
"Hey, Ash. It's Amy, what are you doing?" I asked, hoping she would say nothing.
"Nothing"
Yes!
I sighed in relief, and said through the phone "Do you want to go out?"
"Sure, where to? The usual place?"
We agreed on meeting to our usual restaurant that we always go to whenever we celebrate each other's birthdays.
In five minutes max, the driver parked in front of the restaurant. I thanked him and we arranged a time to pick me up again.
Inside, Ashley was sitting by the corner menu propped in front of her face. I waved when she saw me, and I walked over.
"Hey," I said, and chose the seat opposite from her.
"Hi, yourself" we ordered some meals and Ashley sat there staring past me.
"What?" I asked, looking at her.
"Oh my gosh, I could not believe what I'm seeing" she said, shocked.
I turned my head, and sure enough Jace was there. A few tables away from us, waiting for Jordan. I didn't know that he was going to be here, I covered up face and turned my back on him.
"I can't let him see me" I gritted out.
"Why?" Ash, asked.
"I'm meant to be doing something fun, out of those things he booked for me" I whispered, "Is he looking this way?"
"No, but try to hide a little bit more. He might turn this way" she whispered back.
Our meals arrived, and an hour later any sign of Jordan was nowhere to be seen. I was getting worried, what if he got stood up?
That was strange, Jordan wasn't the type of person that makes Jace wait.
"This is so boring, Amy. I'm sitting here with you but you're attention's focused on him" My best friend whined.
"Sorry" I said, not really sounding sorry. We went back to eating our meals and I couldn't help but to worry about Jace. His gaze was glued to the door, waiting.
Ashley's phone rang, and she took it out immediately. There seemed to be something that was happening to her family. She nodded for the last time, and hung up.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Family issues" she said. Staring down at her phone.
"Do you need to leave?"
"Yeah, I'm so sorry Amy" she said, sad.
"It's alright, go" I urged her.
"But if I go, who will cover up for you?" She was right.
"Yeah" I exclaimed.
"You need to get past him, to be able to get out" she concluded. She was right, again.
Then we came up with a plan, rather Ashley did. She took her scarp off her bag and wrapped it around my head so that Jace wouldn't notice me. Judging by the looks people were giving me, I looked ridiculous.
We past him, my heart beating so fast that I wonder if he could hear it. I sighed in relief when he didn't notice the disguise, I took the present I have for him and asked for a sticky note so that I could write on the piece of paper.
I wrote the name "Jordan" under the little message and told the lady to give this to Jace when I left.
Here it is guys :D Hope you like it. Anyway, seems like Jace was being nice, what do you guys think? Exams are on Friday :) I'm nervous but cross fingers that I would do okay. I was itching to post the chapters but the girl gotta take it slow my hunnies ;)
Enjoy
