His Secret

Arielle

"It's beautiful !" I say looking at the decoration. The party planner did a fantastic job with the set up for Jasmine shower.

"I'm glad you like it, now the caters will be here at 12 then the guest arrive at 1 which should leave us with enough time to make sure the food is good." Carol the planner says.

"What about the cake?".

"It should be here soon, one of them vanilla and the other red velvet.".

"This is going perfect ! So I'm going to get going to shower isn't until 2 I have some things I need get done. Please call me if anything." I say before grabbing my purse to leave.

"Will do." Carol replies.

Getting in my Audi I place my purse on the passenger seat. I need some coffee in my system I think I'll stop and get some and a bagel.

A few minutes later I arrive to my favorite coffee shop Ana's. Starbucks is over rated and the drinks taste funny. There is always a line here but it is so worth the wait. Scrolling through my email nothing pops out at me so I put my phone away.

"Welcome to Ana's what can I get for you?" This red head ask, she has freckles all over her face very beautiful young woman.

"Hi sweetheart I'll take the caramel cappuccino with extra caramel and extra espresso and a everything bagel with extra cream cheese please.".

"Will that be all?" She ask.

"Yes ma'am thank you." I smile. I take out my wallet to pay but someone reaches over me with a card.

"I'll pay for the lady." He says.

I look back he is a handsome man but I'm good. "No thank you sir but I appreciate the gesture." I say.

"I insist ma'am.".

"Fine but you'll join me?" I ask.

"Yes I'd love that.".

We grab our stuff and head to a empty table. I feel like I know him but I can't tell who he is. "Well thanks for the breakfast.".

"You're welcome we're family." He says.

"How?" I question.

"Don't remember me Arielle?" He ask.

I look at him carefully then it hits me like a brick wall. "Travis?" I ask.

"Yeah." He chuckles.

"Wow you have grown up! How are you? When did you get in town?" I ask a ton a of questions.

"I'm good Ari, I got here last night I'm on a business trip. How are you and August?".

"Not so good actually. Our marriage is going down hill and I don't understand how.".

"What!? When y'all first got married I told August he got a good one don't fuck up.".

"He has fallen out of love with me. I gave him my all, I have his back through everything." I say.

"When did it start?".

"Honestly after he started working with the artist Jasmine. My friend assume they was having a affair but she pregnant her baby father is nowhere to be found.".

"I seen them on TMZ the look real cozy in surprise you agree to this." He says.

"I was down cause it's been bringing in money for us, America love them together. He promised me it wouldn't change anything now everything is different." I say.

"You're so beautiful I don't understand how he could cheat if that is what is happening.".

"I guess I've lost my touch. I don't think he's cheating though he promise he wasn't.".
