13 months of Japril (on hold)

3: The affair

Today (February 28 2017) is the 3 anniversary of my Japril fan account on IG, go check it out, its the same user name

"You're still up for that dinner tonight?" Her boyfriend asked.

"Yes, I am. But I don't think you are." She said playfully.

He gently grabbed her chin and pull it toward him.

"Oh, I'm ready." He said before pressing his lips against hers.

"Oh!" A male voice said.

Their lips pulled apart and they both faced the man behind the voice. The man was tall and had chocolat brow skin. He had beautiful green eyes and we could see his muscular body under his scrubs. He was truly handsome.

"Hey Jackson." April said. "We were just about to go out."

"No we weren't." Her boyfriend said so only she could hear.

"Any good surgeries out there?" She asked to distract her ex-husband. "I heard there was a pile up on the twenty third. Did the victims come here."

"Hum, yeah. Yes, they did."

His discomfort was obvious. Jackson had never been a fan of Chad. He had always been too good. He was too good in surgeries, too good at social events and too good with Harriet. He hadn't like Chad before and now, that wasn't going to change.

"Great. We'll see you around." She said before leaving.

~the afternoon~

April was in the daycare center, playing with her little toddler. Chad was there with her too and he had let Harriet draw a girafe on his skin. Though it actually looked more like a yellow plague than the animal.
The little girl had been obsessed with girafe from the moment she laid eyes on that toothing toy. Sophie would follow her everywhere, from daddy's house to the car to the daycare to mama's house.

The three weren't aware that a man was staring at them from the windows. He was looking at them forming some kind of little family and he hated it. He had enough of Chad stealing everything that was dear to him. First his job and now the woman he loves and his child.

He opened the door and went directly to Harriet.

"Looks like we had the same idea." April cheered.

"I bet." Chad said sarcastically.

"Yeah, after all these victims I needed to see my little girl." Jackson said looking at his daughter.

April took the little girl in her arms and pointed to Jackson.

"Where's papa?" She asked the little girl. "Can you tell me where papa is?"

Harriet looked at Chad then looked over at Jackson before pointing Chad with her little fingers.

"Papa!" She said smiling.

Jackson's face changed, he hadn't been expecting this. Harriet was his little girl, his and April's and he hated to think that she thought otherwise.

"That's not papa." April said faking a laugh. "Look, here papa."

She gave the little girl to Jackson and she almost immediately regretted it.
