Married to a stranger (18+)

Chapter 65

" hi" I replied ,jake could feel my muscles tensioning .

" Hi my name's mark " he says to jake.
jake shakes his hand and he turns to me " hey"he says.

" hey " I reply back.

" congrats on the baby by the way man, kids are a blessing" he says with a smile and I immediately feel my tension ease.

" thank you, we're really happy" I reply. Kourt obviously felt uncomfortable so I tried not to prolong the conversation.

" okay gotta go, I guess I'll see you guys around. Tonight is a big night "he says and walks towards his table.

we spend the night chatting away and sharing our awkward childhood memories I'm not gonna lie I kinda missed teasing my best friend and my sister. It's kinda sad that he can't roast her with me anymore, tragic.

We hear people clapping from the other side of the restaurant, probably an engagement going on. I look toward the table and see  mark on his knees to a crying red-haired girl. I guess that's what he meant when he said tonight was a big night I guess I don't have to worry about him anymore or think he was the one who came into our house since he has clearly moved on except this is a plot?
It couldn't, the girl looked genuinely happy except she's a Hollywood actress, no one could fake that much excitement. I think you're and the rest spot it too.

" hey, isn't that the guy who was here few minutes ago" Kayleigh asks.

"yeah he looks like him" jake replies and kourt just stays silent eating her food.

She couldn't be thinking of what if's right? Knowing she could have been married to him makes my skin crawl.
You've got the girl Iiam it's dumb thinking like this my subconscious says to me, I hope he's right.
She smiles at me and that's all the reassurance I needed to get.

It's getting late and mi lady is already feeling sleepy, she sleeps by 9 these days sometimes seven. Who in the world sleeps by 7!!!!!!
We say our goodbyes and begin heading home.I felt my phone vibrate a couple of times but refused to get it cause I was driving but for some reason it refused to stop buzzing. " babe can you please check who's texting me " I ask and she stretches her hand into my pocket to pull out my phone.

She checks my notifications as it's and an unknown number.she unlocks the phone gasps " oh my Godd!!!" she says with panic.
" oh my God"

" what is it?" I ask and she reads the message.i quickly find a spot to pull over and grab the phone from her.

It's a bunch of pictures from an unknown number of both of us from our bedroom window. Now this is becoming really creepy.

I call the detective and send him the details.. I'm tired of this shit and need it to end now. There's literally no motive for my family to constantly be harassed we have no enemies and stay out of people's way. By the time I end the call kourt looks a bit shaken up I could tell she was also fed up. This is our life not some fucking sims games. We both sit in the car silently while I hold her hand at this point it was better to just be silent.
————————————
It's been a week since we got the call and we've changed to tinted windows and got thicker curtains. We live in a safe environment so it's weird how these things keep happening. Kourt has been so paranoid and now she sleeps with pepper spray underneath her pillow, regular me would have called her extra but now I totally get it. Things at work hasn't been so rosy either I have a lot of work to do that requires traveling, the board doesn't think I'm fit to run the company but I don't wanna bother kourt about that she's already stressed  with so much stuff. She has been so sick cause of the baby lately, all she does is throw up and loose weight all this stressing is bad for her blood pressure.
" hey" she says putting her arm across me " you look cute when you're thinking, it always looks like you're doing the raven face when she sees into the future"  she chuckles lightly and I roll my eyes.
