Jealous Hearts

Take Your Time

Lindsey pulled his underwear wear on and sat on the bed, waiting for her to come back out

Stevie ran a bath and got in, she wasn't mad at Lindsey, she was scared his eyes would wander...he wasn't able to have sex with Kristen due to William, so he cheated on her with two women

She stressed that he was angry with her for not being able to finish and now he had to wait six months to have sex again."

She knew he was going to start looking elsewhere, and that thought made her start to cry

Lindsey heard her through the door causing him to worry, "Steph? Are you alright?"

"Y...yeah I'm fine..."

"Why are you crying?"

"I'm not crying, I said I'm fine" she lied

"Okay...."

Minutes later she saw a slip of paper slid under the door

Curiously she stood up wrapping a towel around herself, stepping out carefully she walked to the door, picking the paper up and reading it

"Meet me on the balcony whenever you feel well. Take your time. Lindsey."

Letting the plug out she waited for all the water to drain before she slipped on her robe, tying it and unlocking the door, seeing Lindsey on the balcony and walking out to him

She noticed a small table set up with wine glasses and a small feast for the two of them

Smiling she opened the door and stepped out

"Hi Lindsey"

"Hey!" He walked up to her and kissed her softly, "Enjoy your bath?"

"Yeah. It helped soothe the pain"

He looked away ashamed, "Are you still in pain?"

"Baby, it wasn't you!" She took his face in her hands

"I feel like it was."

"I asked you to do it"

"Maybe you should go rest. I don't think is good for your body to go through all of this."

"You got this all set up now, I'll be fine"

"I can bring the food to bed for you."

"Lindsey! I'm not a child!" She shouted

"Your health is all that I am concerned about!"

"I'm fine! My baby is fine! Now leave it"

Nodding quietly, Lindsey walked over to the table and pulled out her chair for her.

Sitting down she waited for him to get her a drink

He came back with a glass of water for each of them, "They didn't have any juice for you to drink instead of wine..."

"Thank you" she took the glass and sipped it, before tucking into the food

"I didn't know what you liked so I got a little of everything. Don't worry I'm not freeloading off of you. I paid for the food and service."

"Lindsey I know you wouldn't do that.."

"I just wanted you to know..."

"Linds?"

"Yeah?"

"We know nothing about each other do we..."

"Not really..."

"We've kind of just been thrown together because of her..." she looked down

"I'm glad!"

"I just feel like if it wasn't for her, you wouldn't ever chose someone like me..."
