Unfaithful

Part 8 - Talia

Joel and I spent two weeks in Toronto at my aunt's house working on us and to be honest, spending time away from everything and everyone felt great. I was very anxious, however, about returning home. Moses was home. Moses and Jenna. And from what I heard, she was really playing the wife role.

I had two of Moses' shirts that I had "borrowed" during our time together and I felt that I needed to return them. I actually felt like I needed to see Moses one more time. I needed to see him with Jenna again... to see if it was real.

Eamon's "Don't Want You Back" was blaring through the speakers when I walked into the club. I slowly walked over to the bar and looked around for Moses. Instead, I saw Cristian leaning against the banister, his arms folded across his chest as he looked down at Yasmine, who was standing in front of the stairs, two small boxes on the table next to her. I turned around to leave the club and avoid Yasmine and walked right into Moses' chest. I stumbled back a little as I got myself together and looked up at him. He still looked amazing and he smelled even better.

"I... this... uh..." I held out his shirts as I looked at him, trying to get my thoughts together.

Moses looked down at the shirts for a moment before looking back at me again.

I looked down at the shirts for a before placing them on the top of the bar and for several moments, we didn't speak.

Big Sean's "I Don't Fuck With You began playing. I looked over my shoulder at Cristian and Yasmine. She lowered her head as the song played. Cristian just looked at her, his face showing that he clearly felt the same way as the song. I turned around and looked at Moses, who was still looking at me, clearly waiting for me to say something.

"I just... I..." I exhaled, feeling as nervous as I did the very first time that I saw him.

"Joel will be here soon," he said after a moment. "Titi asked us to meet here."

I nodded my head. There was so much to say to him. So much I wanted to know, but I could tell from his body language that he really wasn't trying to hear me.

"I'm going to head on home and I'll be there when you get there," I heard Jenna before I saw her. I turned towards the left and saw her walking from behind the bar towards us. Her head was lowered as she removed the black apron that she had on. She placed her apron on the counter behind the bar as she looked up. "Oh." She stopped a few feet from us.

I looked at King and his entire face lit up when he saw her. He had even turned his body more towards her. "You don't want to stay? You can stay."

"I didn't realize you were in the middle of something," she looked at him and smiled slightly. "I'm going to go."

"I'm not in the middle of..." he stopped talking and turned and looked at me. Ouch... he had actually forgotten about me. She had walked into the room and this man had actually forgotten that I was here! A few months ago he could barely keep his hands off of me and now it was as if I didn't exist. "Oh. You wanted me, right?" Moses looked at me again.

I exhaled as I shook my head and softly murmured 'no.'

Chris Brown began to sing Loyal.

"She's not getting the hint, huh?" Jenna walked over to Moses and placed a hand on his chest as she looked up at him. "I'll be home. Call me when you're done or don't call me. Either way it's cool. Ricky is going to meet me at the house."

"But not in my bed, right?" Moses actually smirked.

Jenna laughed as she tapped his chest. She started to lean in to kiss him, but actually stopped and tapped his chest again. Moses reached out and placed his hand on her hip as he pulled her closer to him and leaned down and kissed her. I leaned my head back as I closed my eyes and exhaled. When I lifted my head, they had pulled away from each other. Or, it actually looked like Jenna had pulled away from him, and she was walking towards the door.
