Confession of A profession

Chapter 2 "Is He Worth it"

As his lips pressed against mine I didn't fight back even though I knew what was happening was wrong. As my best friend who is my partner in the marriage consultant business, burst through the door she stood at the door with eyes wide open. Her face quickly changed to a disapproving quality. "Um i don't believe what i'm seeing!" she yelled "Aaliyah, it's not what it looks like he kissed me." As I wiped my lips Jeremey escorted himself passed Aaliyah and smiled at me. " What do you have to say for yourself girl, you have a happy home with a fine husband!" I had no other words to say but "It didn't mean anything, that was the last and only time" She shook her head and headed for the door. My assistant sent the next appointment in for the morning and I tried to suppress what just happened. The day went on and lunch rolled around. My best friend and I usually go out to our favor spot but she's not speaking to me right now and I don't blame her. I ventured out by myself, and tried to clear my head until he popped back up at my table. "We have to be careful next time, I didn't get to finish what I started" " Um that was a mistake and should never happen ever again" He laughed shortly and processed to let ignorant words pass his lips " so you didn't enjoy it?" He said between a smile so white. I didn't know what to say because I did enjoy it but not enough to mess up anything I built with my husband along with my career. " I did but i don't want to presume anything further" The waiter comes up to the table and gives me my order. " Thank You may I have a togo box please." " Carrie wouldn't you like to stay and eat with me we can talk" "No thank you, but I do have just one question for you, Where's your wife does she know what your doing?" " Well here's the thing, I don't have a wife I never was married. I saw you one day when I had a meeting in your office and I thought Mmm I have to have her." I couldn't bare to continue to hear what he was saying so I gave him a glare and headed back to the office. As I arrived at my office Aaliyah was sitting at my desk. " We need to talk" "Okay let me start, I'm sorry for what you saw but you should know it didn't mean a thing and I love my husband. He kissed me first and I don't know I couldn't pull away for some reason." "What do you mean you couldn't pull away ? Are you and Marcus having problems ?" I had to tell her the truth, I never told anyone not even her and we've been friends since third grade. " Okay look it's been three years but we haven't had intercourse since last years anniversary. I mean it's nothing but I have needs." Aaliyah looked concerned but also confused. " oh my, I could not." She repeated that over and over. " So when he kissed me I felt blown away." We continued to talk then I headed home early. As I set on my couch and watched my shows until my phone started to ring. I hesitated to answer it but I did anyway. 'Hello?'  'Carrie, we didn't finish our conversation earlier and I over heard you and your friend talking, I can help you with your problem.'  I dropped my jaw. How did he know about that ? Is he stalking me ? ' Don't worry about me stalking you I just had a interview with a company in your building' ' I uh wasn't thinking that and i don't know what your talking about I don't have a problem' Just as Jeremey was talking my husband walked in. " Hey hun what are you doing here" I quickly switched the conversation. ' Your husband must be home, text me we have to finish' I hung up the phone and ran up to hug my husband like he just came back from the war. I didn't know what I was feeling. I need to figure out what's happening with me. " Honey, I have a business meeting this weekend and was wondering did you want to get dinner before I leave in the morning ?" I nodded and went to get dressed . Through the whole night I couldn't focus on anything. I think I actually want to see him again but I know that can't happen. We got home and I tried to start things with Marcus but he just wanted to go to sleep. I deal with couples like this all the time and I didn't know it could happen to me. I laid down and just thought about Jeremey and how we kissed. I received a text from him,'Goodnight beautiful text me when your available' With that I couldn't sleep, because I wanted to hear more of that except him next to me . Moments later I fell asleep. The next morning i drove my husband to the airport and headed back home. I had a free weekend with nothing to do. I decided that I would go out tonight with the girls and try to forget everything.
Later that night we arrived at the club and it was packed. We all got drinks and danced for awhile then took a seat. Moments later a deep voice called my name and it's the last person I wanted to see. "Look who we have here, did you miss me?" Jeremey smiled and sat beside me and introduced himself. Everyone frowned and got up to go dance. Throughout the night I kept drinking to keep my distance from him but that backfired. I was to drunk to drive and he drunk little to none. "Let me take you home, you shouldn't drive"
The next morning I didn't remember much but I didn't wake up in my own bed.
