I finished work early and decided to get a pedicure.
Two of my clients canceled giving me a good two hours to myself.
After my lovely pedicure I spotted a tattoo parlor nearby.
I kind of wanted a tattoo, why not get one now.
I walked into the brightly light room and smiled at the tattooed man.
"How can I help a pretty lady like yourself?"
"Can I have a tattoo on my wrist?" I asked pointing to my inner wrist.
"Sure, of what?" he asked leading me over to a chair.
"A ying yang sign,"
"Sure thing," he said getting ready.
*Derek's Point Of View*
Alex would be coming home any minute and I was scrambling around trying to clean the house and cook a romantic dinner.
The chicken was in the over and the pasta was boiling.
Upstairs was almost clean when the doorbell rang.
I really hope it wasn't Finn.
I liked him at first but now, I don't know. I don't like seeing my wife so upset over him.
I opened the door and there was Lydia.
"Hi," she said grinning at me.
"Hey beautiful, come in,"
She grinned again and walked in.
"Nice house,"
"Thank you,"
"Oh wow, did you paint this?" she asked running over to the mural.
"Me and Alex did," I said smiling. "Like it?"
"Love it,"
"But why a rainforest?"
"We both like rainforests,"
"Oh," she giggled. "It's amazing. Where is Alex?"
"At work, she should be home soon,"
"Oh, well, I wont be long. I just wanted to give you the tickets,"
"Thanks," I smiled taking them from her.
"No problem," she smiled again.
"Want a look around?" I asked.
"Sure," her face lit up and I smiled.
I showed he upstairs and downstairs.
We were in the basement looking at the Alex's and my paintings.
"You guys are really good at this art stuff. Your house is beautiful and your paintings are amazing. Your amazing, Derek,"
I smiled. "You are too,"
Lydia leaned in slowly. I froze in panic.
*Alexandra's Point Of View*
I paid the tattoo man and walked out of the store with a ying yang on my wrist and a music note behind my ear.
So, I went a little crazy.
I hurried to the car and speed home I didn't want to be late for my romantic dinner with my husband man.
*Derek's Point Of View*
"Lydia," I whispered against her lips. "We really shouldn't,"
"Then you do I feel like we should?"
*Finn's Point Of View*
"Finny! Why are we here?" Kate whined.
I rolled my eyes. "I have to do something, I won't take long okay,"
"Whatever," she muttered.
I gave her a long kiss and smiled at her.
She gazed lovingly into my eyes and I tried not to cringe.
"I'll be back in five minutes,"
"Hurry,"
I pecked her lips again and got out of the car.
I wanted to vomit.
I miss Alex.
She irreplaceable.
Hopefully I could win her heart again, I thought walking into the old sushi place.
*Derek's Point Of View*
Our lips moved together slowly as the door opened.
*Alex's Point Of View*
The house was still a mess!
Unbelievable.
"Derek!" I yelled.
He hurried upstairs and walked up to me.
"I can explain,"
"Save it. Come on, you had a good three hours to clean!"
"I know, baby, hear me out,"
"What's your great excuse?"
"Me," said a female voice.
I looked past him and raise my eyebrow at her.
"Who she?" I asked him rudely.
"Alex this is Lydia, Lydia this is my beautiful wife Alex,"
"Nice to finally meet you, I've heard so much about you. You are an amazing artists. I would love to have a painting or two of yours," she smiled.
I tried to give her a genuine smiled. "Thanks,"
"I should go. I'm really sorry if I ruined your night. I was giving Derek your tickets for tomorrow's show,"
"Right, we'll see you there," I said.
She nodded her head. "Um, I'll see you then, bye," she said.
We walked to the door and waved at us and looked longingly at Derek then left.
Whore! Hoe! Bitch! Home wrecker!
"You smell like her," I muttered.
"Honey,"
"Don't talk. Just listen. There is something about you and her that does sit right with me. You of all people should know our rule. No secrets. So, when your ready to share, come to me. I'm going to give you another chance to get the house clean and cook dinner.
I'll be taking a nice long bubble bath to relax me. Good bye," I said heading upstairs.
I heard Derek sigh as I closed the bed room door.
I turned on the hot water and added in the bubbles. Once the water filled the tub. I stripped an sat into the water.
I closed my eyes and sighed.
There is one thing I learned tonight; I don't like Lydia.
*Finn's Point Of View*
Kate was cooking dinner while I was on a business call.
We were at her place tonight.
My parents were just happy to see me with a girl who made me smiled again.
Or fake smile again.
I paced around the living room floor as I talked to the man about the space.
We had a meeting time and date for tomorrow.
My evil plan was working.
Once I hung up the phone I did a little dance like I would do on the football field and grinned.
Kate wrapped her arms around me and kissed my cheek.
"Ready for dinner?"
"Yeah," I said facing her.
She kissed me and hugged my neck tightly.
I held her close to me and trailed little kisses down her neck.
Once I pulled away she smiled at me and took my hands.
"I love you,"
*Alexandra's Point Of View*
I still sat in the tub until the water started to get cold.
Derek walked in and got in the tub with me.
"Lydia was my first love. We liked each other since the froth grade. But when I was moving, sophomore year, I broke up with her. I didn't want us to have a long distance relationship. She hated me for breaking up with her but I thought it was the best thing. And it was because when I walked into our high school the first thing I saw was Carey's ass then you,"
I smiled a little bit.
Carey's butt exploded sophomore year. But she always kind of had a big butt.
"Forgive me, love monkey?" he asked pulling me over to him.
"Yeah," I smiled as he moved my hair behind my ear to kiss my cheek.
"Tattoo?" he asked.
"Yeah, I got two," I said showing me. "My clients cancels on me, so I got a pedicure and two tattoos,"
Derek laughed. "I love you,"
"I love you too,"
Derek and I got dressed up and walked down stairs.
The house was spotless.
Derek led me over to the dinner table.
*Finn's Point Of View*
Kate and I were ripping each others clothes off as we made out.
We walked over to Alex's bed and fell on it.
I pushed the smock off of her and Alex lifted my shirt over my head and brought her lips back to mine. I unhooked her bra and pulled down her underwear. While I did this she undid my pants and slid off my boxers.
I rolled us over and slowly entered her.
She gasped a little and kissed me harder.
I started slowly then picked up the pace. She was too good.
she told me to keep going and naturally I did.
We finally exhausted ourselves.
I laid next to her, holding her in my arms.
"I'm sorry," I whispered kissing my head. I don't like her mad at me.
"It's okay, I overacted. I'll go to the dance with you,"
"No, you don't have too,"
"Finn, I said I will, for you,"
"Thanks,"
she smiled and rested her head on my chest.
I lifted up her head and kissed her.
Alex looked into my eyes. "I love you asshole,"
Whoa, love?
Didn't see that coming.
I smiled slightly and kissed Alex again.
I pulled away and looked into her green eyes.
"I love you too, Al," I smiled.
"Good," she said hugging me.
"I love you," Kate muttered as we came to an end.
"I love you too," I said kissing her again.
She gave me light kisses down my neck.
"Oh, Alex,"
