The Affair

Chapter 1

Chloe's POV

It's been 8 months since Archie was born and today is mine and Thomas' 5th wedding anniversary, he said we were gonna go out and celebrate but he was supposed to pick me up fifteen minutes ago so I'm starting to wonder if he's forgotten, he did last year

I love him and I know that he loves me too but sometimes it just feels a little bit like he doesn't care as much as he used to

20 minutes had now passed and I finally gave up, he wasn't coming and I had to accept that

I know that he does love me, of course he does, I just wish he'd put our marriage first, I guess I knew what I was getting into before hand but I don't know, it would still be nice to be appreciated a bit more

Just as I was about to give up and go get changed when the front door opened and in walked my husband, looking rather handsome in his suit

He smiled as he greeted me

"You ready?" He asked hurriedly but with a smile, I sighed

"I still don't feel right leaving Archie" I pointed out but he just shook his head and sighed at me

"Chloe we've talked about this, there's a reason we have a nanny" he reminds me, I don't understand why he insists we have a nanny, it's like I can't take care of my own son

"Fine" I replied in a whisper and he half heartedly kisses my cheek before talking my hand, yelling bye to the nanny and then we were out of the door

We got into the car and the chauffeur drove off, heading for the restaurant

Half an hour later we were amidst our dinner at one of the best restaurants in all of New York

"Chlo" he started to get my attention, I looked up and could see by the look on his face I probably wasn't going to enjoy what he would say next

"Babe, my friend from business school is new to the city, he's going to start working at my office and needed somewhere to stay while his new place is being finished, you don't mind I offered him our spare room do you?" He asked and I internally groaned, great so work's coming home again, whoopie...not

"What about Archie and his little 'why would I wanna sleep' phase, I doubt your friend wants to be woken up by our baby" I point out but he just rolls his eyes

"Chloe, the baby isn't our entire lives you know? Just because we're parents doesn't mean we stop having lives" he tells me slightly annoyed

"Well I'm sorry I actually give a shit about our son!" I hiss at him angrily

He sighs and takes my hand

"I'm sorry Chlo, I know I've been really busy lately and stuff, but I do really care about both of you, I'm just not inclined to parenthood the way you are, I'm really trying here baby, I truly am" he tells me and I nod with a sigh of my own

"I know" I reply with a small smile and then his face goes back the the big smile it had had spread upon it not 5 minutes ago

"I miss you baby" he whispers to me as he lifts my hand to his lips and kisses it gently

"I miss you too" I reply and it's true, I wish he was home more, it's quite lonely without him around much

"I want you" he whispered to me, his low tone gave me chills "it's been so long"

He was right, I haven't really let him touch me since I found out I was pregnant and that was just under a year and a half ago

I hadn't even thought about how long it had been until now, that's kinda crazy

"I want you too" I replied, I wasn't really sure what I wanted but it didn't really matter, of course I want him, I love him

We quickly finished, Thomas paid and soon we were heading to a hotel, we figured better to do it there than at home with the baby around and risking waking him up

That night in the hotel room we were going at it for hours, but something felt different, I used to feel so much when we did this, sex was amazing with him, but now....I felt numb, I knew what was happening, my body was doing what it always did but I felt very little

That was where it all started going wrong

Well then, what do we think about her marriage to Thomas so far? What do we think about Thomas as her husband, what's gonna go wrong? Will her marriage hold together? Xoxo
