Laurent

"J'ai manqué ta nourriture maman" (I've missed your cooking mom) Larry said hugging maman for the 1000th time.

She chuckled and patted his back. "Et tu m'as manqué mes bébés" (And I missed you too my babies).

We were here in Paris on a short trip to visit our maman and our family. Today was our last day since we had commitments back home. We needed some time to getaway. I also needed some time to help me get my mind together, especially with things still being strained between Jessica and I.

I was played with the fringe on the end of the blanket Maman had on the back of the couch. She cleared her throat and I looked up, seeing her staring me at from the table where she was sitting a cake on the table for dessert. "Oui maman?"

"Vous avez été très calme aujourd'hui Laurent, ça va?" (You've been very quiet Laurent, are you okay?)

I nodded quickly, not wanting to worry her. She hated the fact that Larry and I had to move to the states for work, but it was the only way to help out here. "oui maman, je suis juste un peu fatiguée. Mon bosy ne s'est jamais adapté au changement de tume." (Yes Mom, I'm just a little tired. My body didn't adjust to the time change.)

She walked over to me and kissed my forehead. Truth is I was thinking about Jessica, while we've been here she has been in her own world. I understand that we left a lot of people behind when we left, but since we've been here, she's been distant. I barely see her as is when we're home, but here I feel like it's even less if possible.

I was scrolling through Instagram when I saw a picture of Felicity on my feed. I smirked and liked it, staring for a second.

She was undeniably gorgeous and she's unknowingly helped me through a lot of stuff

She was undeniably gorgeous and she's unknowingly helped me through a lot of stuff. We'd met around a month ago and she's been coming to my classes and I've stopped by her store a few times to say goodnight.

Larry keeps trying to warn me about cheating, but he has nothing to worry about. I am married as is she, I doubt either one of us would be willing to risk that...

Felicity

I walked through the door to my yet again empty house. I had gotten used to it if I was gonna be completely honest. I put down my purse and walked in the kitchen grabbing a banana from the basket and scrolling through my phone when I got a notification from IG. "Lestwinsoff liked your post." I bit my lip, trying to hold back my smile but it was tough.

Over the course of a month, I had found a companion. Laurent didn't even realize just how much he was helping me. When he saw me in the car crying I was battling myself on whether to go to the dinner or not and he helped me make my decision.

I found myself going to his profile and scrolling through his pictures. I leaned against the kitchen counter, in my own world of deep diving. He was handsome, I'll give him that and the fact that he took the time to even help me, I was grateful.
