Scarlett Rodriguez;

"Hey babe, you've been a little off since he came to visit you" Jack says as we sit in the living room

"Since who came?" I question my eyes never leaving my laptop screen "your ex" I look at him and he's already looking at me "oh, Hayes." I state mentioning his name.

"Yeah him" he huffs growing annoyed by the mention of his name "babe, that was over a month or two ago that he came by there's no need to worry" I assure him

Except for the fact that I'm feeling those feelings that I've always felt towards Hayes.

He doesn't say anything and brings me into a hug kissing the side of my forehead "I love you" he mumbles

"I love you too"

"I feel like you're agreeing with me every time you say it like that" he says in somewhat a whisper, sadness over coming his deep voice.

"I'm not" I somewhat lie, I feel bad, I hate that I don't feel what I felt about Jack before Hayes decided to pop up in my life again.

"Ok" he says just above a whisper. I could see all that love he has for me is real and really big.

That's everything any girl wishes to have, a man who loves her - truly.

And i have that with Jack but I also have that with Hayes

And I'm stuck between in the middle between these two great guys.

But really, was my love for Jack just to fill my empty space that I felt for Hayes?

Did I make myself believe that I loved Jack just to get Hayes out of my head and my heart?

"Hey?" I hear Jack call out breaking me from my thoughts, I mentally thank Jack because knowing me, I could convince myself to ask for a divorce and that's probably the last thing I want.

Unless I'm sure about my feelings.

"Yeah?" I ask "want Chinese for dinner?" he asks me and I smile "I would love Chinese food" he nods and gets up to go to the kitchen to call.

Scarlett: Hayes...can I see you sometime this week? Have breakfast and like talk?

Hayes: uh, yeah yeah of course when

Scarlett: I'll let you know a day or so before but most likely on Friday

Hayes: crap, I can't Friday I have this huge meeting for my upcoming business trip

Scarlett: oh, okay well that's fine then never mind

Hayes: no! no! is Friday the only day you can?

Scarlett: well yeah since Scarlett does with her grandmother and jack works late but maybe some other time

Hayes: don't worry I'll meet you up

Scarlett: the meeting is important

Hayes: doesn't matter it's over at 12 lunch?

Scarlett: okay, seen you Friday then

Hayes: ok, great. see you then

I shut my phone off and look up Jack walking through the hall back into the living room

"Might be like 10-15 minutes until the delivery man comes" he smiles taking a seat next to me

"Ok sound good" I smile and get up to put away my laptop "babe" Jack calls out as I was about to walk out of the living room

"Hmm" I hum in response turning around to face him "never mind" he says turning on the tv and directing his attention to the tv screen

I shrug it off and continue walking back upstairs to our room to set my laptop down and then head backstairs.

I return back downstairs and see Jack using my phone, my heart beat increased rapidly - my palms sweaty as ever.

"Hey, sorry I was using your phone I just was sending myself some pictures" he smiles and I sigh in relief.

I didn't want him knowing I was sneaking behind his back to meet up with Hayes.

He can't - he won't - he shouldn't

I feel like I'm back in high school.
