Red Light Special

Chapter 15

I woke up the next morning Joey's leg drapped over mine and his arm over my waist. I slide from the bed clothes strewn all over the floor in our room. After yesterday's surprise turned into a night of hot sex Im surprised I was up as early as I was but on the other hand Mariah Lynn didnt really allow me to sleep in. I walked into the bathroom peeing and ran the shower. I slid in letting the water wash away any remenates of last nights activities off. When I walked out the bathroom Joey was still asleep in the bed so I decided that ordering up room service for breakfast was the best option. Today we had to check out after his show and I have one more night with him before I go back to my real life. This weekend proved alot of things but it also gave me alot to think about as well. Joey and I are going to try to see if we can make this work, and honestly I want it to work and not just for the sake of our daughter. I see something in him, he makes me feel things I never have. The problem lies in me, I dont know how I supposed to keep this secret from him because if he finds out everything I have tried to build is going to come crashing down with him in the middle of it. 

I shook the thoughts away and grabbed the room phone ordering up breakfast. Just as I hung up my phone beeped. I assumed it had to be Alesha texting me like she does every morning, when I picked it up It was a unknown caller,

Unknown Caller: So your laying up with my husband now, if he wasnt faithful to me why do you think he is going to stick around for you sweetie it isnt going to happen, your not even on my level.

Aaliyah: Monica how did you get my number?

Monica: You may work at the police station but I have my own detectives

Aaliyah: Great for you but wtf you want

Monica: Oh Im hurt that you think I want something

Aaliyah:Monica Im not stupid.

I wasnt paying attention I was to focused on the conversation with Monica I didnt even realize Joey had woken up till I felt his arms wrap around me from behind and he leaned over kissing my cheek. I felt the lump in my throat and quickly shoved my phone in my hoodie pocket.

"Liyah what you doing"

"ummm nothing"

She was hiding something, The way she shoved her phone as soon as I wrapped my arms around her it was obvious. I had no idea what she could be hiding from me and then the insecurity I always fought with hit, what if it was another guy.

"Baby who you are on the phone with"

"oh that its nothing"

"if its nothing let me see your phone"

"what... no Joe"

"Liyah Im serious ...please"

I dont know there was something different in his voice and his eyes both instantly seemed pleading, I was torn. Do I give him my phone and it sets of some huge issue when he is so close to his divorce or hid it and risk angering him or worse.

"Aaliyah..baby please I need to see that phone.

She sighed and hesidently reached in her pocket and unlocked her phone handing it to me. I began to read the text thread between Monica and Aaliyah and my blood boiled. All I wanted to do was rip her apart but at the same time I have to will myself to not even react, the divorce will be finalized in a few days and if I push it she will drag it out. Then there is Aaliyah and the baby, Monica already proved she can get to her and she doesnt need this neither does our daughter. I looked up from the phone to see Liyah staring at me, the nerves showed on her face.
