A Different Reality (Lasting Love)

We do Love Each Other

"Mom!" I open her front door inviting myself to walk through the all too familiar house "Mom! Where are you!"

"Jennifer?" She runs out of the kitchen to see tears flying freely down my face.  I gave up on controlling my emotions the second I walked in here.

"What happened, honey?" She hands me some tissues before hugging me, helping me calm down as best as she can. I take some time to collect myself.  I just watched my worst nightmare happen.

"I think Justin's cheating on me." I blurt out, knowing I have to get it out now before I cause myself anymore pain "I saw him with Amanda earlier."

"Amanda?  The one that followed him around high school trying to break you two up?" I nod my head "Are you sure?  This isn't just miscommunication?  He wasn't filming with someone who looks like her?  You two are married now. You have a family.  Do you really think he would do this?"

"I saw him, mom!" I feel more emotions rush over me as I start to sob uncontrollably "They kissed!  He didn't know I was standing there and they kissed right in front of me."

"Jen, look at me." She holds my hands for emphasis, looking deeply into my eyes "I know Justin.  We both know damn well that he would not do this to you.  I don't know if it's crazy hormones or just that you're missing him too much, but you know he would not cheat.  He would NEVER try to hurt you or your children."

"You don't understand!" Anger rushes through me, taking over every ounce of my body "I thought I knew him too! He kissed her right in front of me!  It's not like it was just anyone either.  It was freaking Amanda! The same person he swore he would never talk to!"

"And you know her, Jen!  You know how much of a manipulate bitch she is.  She's doing this to upset you!" I feel her wrap her arm around me protectively.  She rests her hand on my belly, causing the baby to move, making me calm down "Amanda has tried to make you miserable since the day she met you and Justin.  You never let it bother you before, so why now?  Have you guys been having other problems? Were you fighting before he came out here?"

"I thought we were fine." I try to think about everything that happened before he flew out here and I start to remember some little things "We would have little arguments, but never anything that would cause this. I guess things just changed for us. This pregnancy has been a lot harder on me, and I've been depending on him to do so much more without really paying him back.  Sometimes I think he feels used, and I wouldn't blame him if he does.  He's been doing everything for both of us."

"Honey, sometimes things like this happen. Marriage isn't always being happy and getting along about every little thing. You need to talk to him. I can promise you he wouldn't want you to be this hurt.  He would never do anything like this intentionally to you or the kids.  He loves all of you guys so much and would never want to cause this pain.  Especially when he knows that you should not be stressing over this right now. You need to calm down and realize that you're overreacting."

I listen carefully to what she says, knowing that she's right.  It's just so hard to get it through my head when I witnessed everything right in front of me.  He would never try to hurt me intentionally, and Amanda is a crazy bitch that forced this on him.  She's always been jealous of us.

"You're right. I guess I should go talk to him." I start to walk towards the door, knowing that this problem isn't going to solve itself, but turn around first to hug her "Thanks, mom."

"You're welcome, honey."

I open the front door to see Justin standing right in front of me.  He pulls me closer to him, and I immediately collapse in his welcoming arms.  As mad as I was, I can't even imagine doing this with anyone else.

"I'm so sorry, Jennifer." He nudges my head up so we're facing each other "I shouldn't have tried to cover this up.  We kissed, but she kissed me.  I would NEVER try to hurt you. I love you and our family too much."

"I know, babe." I grab his hand pulling him towards the couch "She did this, and it's not worth me getting upset over.  I'm sorry I jumped to conclusions.  It wasn't right."

"You had every right to do that. I left you with 2 young kids and flew across the country.  You had your suspicions about why I didn't bring you guys with, and that's reasonable. I just don't want you getting hurt over her anymore.  I promise I'm not talking to her. I didn't even know she was in New York and honestly, I never want to see her face or hear about her again.  She means absolutely nothing to me."

"Good." I lean in to kiss him "I don't like fighting.  I wanted to come out here and have a nice weekend with you, and this was just a little road block.  We just have to move past it."

"I don't wanna interrupt you guys, but I'm gonna go to the store." My mom quickly walks through the room "Have fun making up.  The box of condoms you left when you moved out is still in your room... not that you need it though."

"Goodbye, mom." I walk her out the door laughing "You can throw those away if you want."

"So, are we good now?" Justin walks up to me "I don't want you or the baby getting hurt from us fighting."

"Yeah, we're good." I walk over to kiss him.  He wraps his arms around me deepening the kiss.

I open my mouth letting our tongues intertwine as he pushes me back against the wall. He uses his body to pin me against the wall while he works on getting my shirt off. The commotion causes the baby to start kicking and he stops for a few seconds to feel it.

"Babe, you can do that any time." I pant. He gets the clue and continues.

He moves on to my bra and struggles to get it off.

"Jesus, what the hell is wrong with this thing?"

"Just pull it, babe." I help him pull it over my head before kissing him again. He picks me up, carrying me over to the couch where he lays me down.

I flip us over, pulling his shirt off. He moans slightly as I kiss his neck. I trace my fingers down this body to the band of his boxers. Sliding my hand in, I grab his already huge bulge and start stroking it before quickly taking his boxers off. I feel him getting bigger by the second.

He flips us over to regain control. he starts at my lips and leaves a trail of kisses all the way down my body, stopping when he reaches the band of my panties. I quickly take his shorts off before he gets mine. He slides his hands between my panties band and my skin to tease me. I feel myself start to go weak under him before he finally takes my pants off.

"I need you." I pant, begging him to stop teasing me "Right now."

I moan louder as he finally enters me. He starts to go deeper and faster with each thrust as I moan louder egging him on. I feel him start to slow down eventually and we both finish at the same time. He collapses beside me.

"I think that was a pretty good make up." I admit "I can forgive you now."

"I forgive you too." He leans in to kiss me "But you really need a new bra. I don't like that one."
