"See? I knew you couldn't resist me." Jeff said proudly. I rolled me eyes and got out of bed to get ready for that double date I didn't want to go on. Apparently we were going out to a fancy restaurant tonight. Got in the shower and made sure I took my time. I guess I was taking too long...NOT. I was in the shower for only five minutes when Jeff came in, and got I the shower with me. I turned around with an annoyed look on my face.

"May I help you?" I crossed my arms.

He shrugged. "Only you can" he said seductively and pulling me close to him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he kissed me passionately.

"I...still..don't...want...to...go." i said between kisses.

"Too...bad."

I pulled away from him. "Jeff, I think Ciara is still in love with you."

"Scar, that's crazy."

"I saw the way she looked at you, Jeff. She sounded hurt after you told her you had a wife. Explain that."

"she was just surprised. That's all. Me and Ciara were best friends. I used to tell her everything."

"Idont trust her."

"Well, I do." he retaliated, starting to get angry.

"I'm not going to fight with you about this. The shower's all yours." I walked out, wrapped myself in a towel, and closed the door behind me. I went the closet and slipped on my black evening dress. It was a silky deep v-neck dress with spaghetti straps and hugged all my curved perfectly. It was long and plain, yet elegant. I went over to my make up area and looked in the mirror. I guess I should do my hair first. I dried my hair and then made loose curls with my curling iron. I heard Jeff get out of the shower and come into the closet. I didn't pay attention to him. After I curled my hair, I did my make up like I always do...silver eye shadow, black eye liner, mascara, and dark red lip stick. I got up and went out of the closet. Jeff was still changing into his suit..he was struggling with his tie. I sat on the bed and watched a little bit of tv while I waited for him.

I heard him groan and appear in front of the tv, with his tie still undone. "Scar, I'm sorry. Listen, if you still don't like Ciara after tonight, I promise I will never see or speak to her again. You're more important to me, and I really hate it when you're mad at me. Deal?"

I got up and tied his tie for him. I finished and looked into his eyes. "Deal. Now let's go.". I said with no emotion. He didn't say anything else. He knew I was still angry.

We drove to the restaurant which was about 20 minutes away. We pulled up to the restaurant and it was extremely fancy. We walked inside, with Jeff's arm around my waist. Ciara and her date waiting inside at a table. We greeted them and sat down. "Jeff, this is my boyfriend John."

When I saw John, my eyes widened. He was a Jeff look-a-like!!!!!! Same same sexy hair, same height, same build...the only difference was their eyes and noses. John had emerald green eyes while Jeff has Sea blue eyes.

"it's nice to meet you John. This is my lovely wife, Scarlette."

John shook my hand. "It's nice to meet you Scar."

I smiled at him and we all sat down. We ordered our food...Jeff ordered for me because the entire menu was in french and I not know how to speak italian and French. As we waited, Jef and Ciara started talking about all the good times they had while me and John just sat there awkwardly listening. I got tired of listening to my husband talk to his ex girlfriend.

"I think I'll go wash my hands before the food comes." I stated. Jeff nor Ciara were listening. "John? Do you know where the restroom is?" I asked.

"Yeah." he got up from his seat. "I'll show you the way.". He obviously needed to get away too. He led me through the restaurant and started a conversation with me. "Is it me or do me and Jeff look a lot alike?"

"You two could be twins and not know it. John, I think Ciara is still in love with my husband."

"I think she is too. I mean, ever since yesterday afternoon, she hasn't stopped talking about Jeff. And then when I saw him, I knew it was true. She doesn't love me. She loves Jeff."

"Thank god someone thinks so too. I tried telling Jeff before we left, but he won't believe me. Hes like, oh she just hasn't seen me in a while. We used to be best friends."

"Hmm...I think he should've believed you. It's clear as day that she still wants him.". We stopped in front of the restrooms.

I turned to Jeff with a guilt look on my face. "Honestly, when I said I wanted to wash my hands...that was just an excuse to get away from there."

John chuckled. " who could blame you. I was about to do the same thing. But our food should be there soon, so we better go back."

"Yeah."

We walked back to the table and found that Ciara had switched seats. She was now sitting in my seat next to Jeff, admiring him as he talked. Then she did the unthinkable. She leaned in and kissed him!!!! Me and John both stopped in our tracks. Tears started forming in my eyes. Jeff abruptly stood up and pulled out of the kiss. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!?". He exclaimed.

"Jeff, I love you. I always have. I've been dying for you to kiss me ever since we started going out, but you were too hung up on that baby...we could've been happy together, Jeff."

"Scar was right. I should've believed her."

"There you go, talking about Scar again." Ciara complained.

"Because she's my wife!". He said very clearly. "She's the only woman I could ever love!"

"She's just a child, Jeff. I, however, am I woman...a woman with needs." she said seductively.

"Stay away from me. I'm leaving." he turned away fom her and his eyes landed on me.

"Jeff wait!" she stood up and her eyes landed on John. "John. I-I thought you went to the bathroom."

"yeah. And I thought you loved me. We're over Ciara.". And then John walked away.

"John wait! I'm sorry!!" she ran after him.

Jeff came over and stood in first of me with an apologetic look. "Did you see all that?"

I nodded my head.

"Scar, I'm sorry. I should've believed you."

I jumped upset him and hugged him tightly. "I love you so much."

"I love you too Scar. Lets go home."

As soon as we got home, we ran upstairs and into the bedroom. Jeff unzipped my dress and I laid down on the bed. I grabbed his tie and pulled him onto me.

A while later....

Jeff rolled off of me and into his side. We were both out of breath. Our hair messed up and all sweaty. "Wow. We should fight more often." he joked. "That was amazing." he said breathlessly.

I laughed and turned to look at him. "Let's agree not to fight anymore."

"Why? We could have great make up s*x"

"Jeff" i scolded.

"I'm kidding. I agree. No more fighting."

I leaned in and kissed him again. He climbed back ontop of me. I felt something 'down there'. "Again?" I asked unbelievably.

He smirked. "What can i say? I'm madly in love with a woman who turns me on."

"And who might this woman be?" I jokingly asked.

"You and only you."
