Her Keeper

Chapter 62

--Geovanni Parris--

"So you feel like you should tell her?" Heather asked.

"Yeah." I nodded.

Julliet texted and said that she was going to be late, so instead of waiting, I decided to have a one on one with Heather. I'm trying not to involve her pops in our relationship as much. We're married now and keep it real, Julliet and I are both his children and he will find it difficult to mediate issues between us.

"So did you do more than just share a kiss with Krystal while she was staying with you and Julliet?"

"No. We only kissed and it happened one time. I just don't want it to be any secrets between us." I explained.

"I understand." She nodded.

The door opened and Julliet walked in.

"Sorry I'm late. My mother talked my head off when I took the kids over, making me lose track of time."

"It's ok." Heather assured her.

Julliet took her seat beside me and held my hand. I bought hers up to my lips and kissed it.

"Hey." She smiled. "How was work?"

"It was straight." I informed her.

"Cool." Turning our attention to Heather, I began feeling nervous, due to the fact that I was about to tell Julliet something I wasn't sure how she was going to react to.

"So Julliet, how was your day?" Heather asked.

"It was great!" She beamed.

"How are the children?"

"They're wonderful." Jules smile widened.

"Good." Heather smiled and nodded as she picked up her notebook, letting me know we were about to get down to business. "Now, there is something Geovanni will like to tell you." She announced, causing Julliet's attention to turn my way.

I cleared my throat and intertwined my fingers with Julliet's before giving her eye contact. I wasn't sure how she was going to take this and I was fucking nervous.

"Jules, there was a moment during the time that Krystal stayed with us where we shared a moment." I began, watching her features and her posture tense. I squeezed her hand slightly, hoping she'd get the signal to calm down.

"What happened?" She stared intensely at me.

"We kissed." I confessed.

"That's it?" She asked.

"Yeah." I nodded in confirmation. She seemed calm and that could be good or bad.

"How?" She questioned.

"I rubbed on her stomach and Krystopher gave a few kicks, catching me off guard and I admitted to some feeling I had for Krystal to her—"

"What kind of feelings?"

"Let me finish, Jules." I pleaded.

"Ok. Finish."

"I told her I had love for her. At one point she was my friend and she was there for me when you left. I know her motives weren't the best at first and she caused us some issues, but we shared a bond and at the end of the day, she was always my friend first. I loved her, I appreciated her and I cared for her, but I was in love with you." I tried my best to explain. "I didn't want anything to do with her after the lil' stunt she pulled the night I cut her off completely, but I still cared about her. I just didn't want her to mess shit up for me when it came to you." I explained further. "I don't regret kissing her and I don't regret sharing how I felt with her. I would've regretted not doing those things after she died and I'm glad that she knows she meant more than just a fling to me. I'm glad that she died knowing that she was more than the baby mama who brought the drama. At least my conscience could rest knowing that I could honestly tell my son I respected, cared for and had love for his mother and she knew it."

"I understand, I guess." Julliet shrugged.

"You're sure?" I asked. "I just didn't want to keep secrets between us, but I also don't want this becoming a problem later on, Jules."

"It won't. I understand." She repeated. "But let me ask you this, and take as long as you need before you respond; if Krystal was still alive and you two had Krystopher would you have pursued a relationship with her?" She asked.

"No." I answered immediately. "I don't think you're understanding." I stressed.

"I understand. You loved her, but you've always loved me more." She concluded.

"Not exactly. You're only getting a small fraction of the picture, Jules."

"Then explain it to me. Repaint the lines." I sighed and glanced briefly at Heather, who gave me a thumbs up to encourage me to go on.

"Jules, I've only every been in love with one woman and that's you. I had feelings for Krystal; I cared about her and respected her, but I wasn't in love. The love was there, but it wasn't the whole I wanna spend my life with her type of thing." I went on. "She was a good friend to me and she unexpectedly became the mother of my son. I respected her and appreciated her on that level." I concluded.

"So do you think you might be ended up having sex with her eventually?" Julliet asked.

"If I wanted to, it would've happened that same day." I assured.

"Even though she was pregnant?" I narrowed my eyes at Julliet.

Did she forget she was fucking some nigguh while she was carrying Guilia?

"Being pregnant never stopped you, did it?" I questioned, making her look away. 'That came out wrong." I tried to explain.

"Cool." She shrugged.

"Baby, listen, I want you and only you. Like it's always been. I'm just trying to come clean about everything and that includes what it was with Krystal."

"I get it." She assured me.

"Cool." I nodded. "I love you."

"I love you too." 

"Julliet, make sure that when you say that, you truly mean it. If anything needs to be fixed, allow us to fix them right here and right now." Heather interrupted.

"I'm sure, Heather." She reassured.

"Very well then." Heather smiled. "That's what Geovanni was aiming for."
