Bad Romance

Chapter One

Zacky

"Zack!" Anna snapped at me as we walked down the street full of little shops with our son Owen.

"What?" I ask just as a girl catches my eye.

"I said are you ready to go home?" She whines snapping her fingers in front of my face.

"Sure" I roll my eyes pushing her hand away from my face. "I'll get the car."

"Thank you." Anna smiles kissing my cheek "I'll wait with Owen here at this cafe. Would you like something?"

"No" I mutter stalking off to get our SUV.

As I'm crossing the street to the garage the girl  who caught my eye a moment ago passes by me.

As she passes her perfume scent lingers and the smell reminds me of her.

Jasmine.

God how I could do with a visit from her.

The sexy woman who knew just everything I liked.

Fuck how I miss her. Just her smile turned me on.

But what her and I had was wrong, no matter how right she made my body feel.

She was gone. About a year now, and just like she said I should do, I should forget her.

But Fuck, I could use her right about now to break up the boring shit storm my life had turned into.

I could use a session of her freaky nasty sex that men dream of.

I turned to get a look at the girl just as she walked onto the patio of the cafe Anna was waiting on me at.

The girl's legs remind me of Jasmine's. I could remember just how those legs felt wrapped around my waist.

As the girl stepped up a tattoo caught my attention on her leg, looming familiar.

I would know that tattoo. My tongue had traced it a thousand times before.

But at this distance I couldn't be sure.

There was no way though, I just craved Jasmine. I was probably seeing her in every girl except my wife.

Besides when Jasmine told me it was over, what we were doing was wrong, she was leaving to go to New York, to make it easier for me and her to let go.

I grabbed the cat, and pulled it into a parallel parking spot in front of the cafe walking in finding Anna.

"What took so long?" She chirped as I sat down.

"Couldn't find the parking ticket" I snapped looking around.

"Oh" Anna sighed obviously placated. "I ordered you a tea"

"I told you I didn't want anything" I snap as the girl from the street saunter by.

"Well I'm sorry" Anna yells.

"Whatever" I roll my eyes watching the girl.

When she sits down she removes her sunglasses and makes eye contact with me.

I know my heart snapped as I looked into those unforgiving hazel eyes.

I felt my pants getting tight at just the site of her.

Jasmine.

Jasmine sitting across the room from me in this boring ass cafe.

She pushed her hair away from her face biting her lip in that sexy way only she could do so well.

Jasmine arches her eyebrow at me then averts her gaze as Anna once again snaps her fingers in my face.

"What the Fuck Anna?" I growl pushing her hand away with more force than was necessary.

"I'm ready to go home" she whines.

"Fine" I snap glancing back at Jasmine.

She looks at me smirking and shaking her head.

When I get home of course all I can think about is Jasmine.

"I'm going to take a nap" Anna calls as I walk onto the patio.

"Whatever" I mutter closing the door and pulling my phone out.

I try Jasmine's old number

"The number you're trying to reach is currently unavailable or is no longer in service"

Figures. I should have known.

I try another number knowing its in service and dial Brian.

"Sup Baker?" He answers sounding bored

"Guess who's back?"

"Eminem?" Brian chuckles at his corn joke.

"No Fuck face" I snap "Jasmine"

"Oh shit" Brian images sharply

"Yeah" I sigh

"So?" He asks lighting a smoke

"Wanna go out tonight?" I ask knowing with it being Saturday if Jasmine is home, her and her best friend Renee will be at the usual spot.

"I'm assuming you're wanting to hit up Johnny's bar." Brian laughs

"It is Saturday" I chuckle

"Yeah" he laughs again

"So does that mean yes?" I ask hopefully.

"Sure" Brian agrees "I mean if she's there Renee will be too. She owes me a game of pool."

"Exactly." I agree "how does nine sound?"

"You picking up or want to meet there?" Brian asks

"How does uber sound?" I ask hoping I won't need a ride home.

"Sounds like a plan" Brian laughs

"See you then" I smile hanging up.

"What do you mean you're going out?" Anna whines as I splash on Jasmines favorite cologne.

"I mean Brian and I are going out for a few rounds of pool and drinks." I snap grabbing my wallet

"When will you be home?" Anna asks fixing my collar.

"Don't know." I shrug

"You should have told me. I would have arranged a sitter."

"Guys night" I mutter kissing her cheek. "Don't wait up."

"Be safe" Anna calls to me as I get I to the car giving the driver Brian's address.

"Is she here?" Brian asks me as we walk into the bar.

"Not that I can see" I mutter as he orders us our usual round of drinks.

"It's still a little early for her" Brian laughs

Just then I see Renee walk in and go straight for a table.

"Yo" Brian nudges me

"I see" I smile "let's grab a pool table. You're going to need it."

"Right" Brian laughs as we walk towards the free table.

"Hey you set us up." I tell Brian as I see Jasmine walking toward the bathroom.

"You got it" Brian laughs following my gaze "you got something to tend to."
