Hurtful

"You are so beautiful." Nick whispered to Amanda.

"Thank you, you are not so bad yourself." She replied.

He smiled at her.

Nick had been seeing Amanda secretly for about a month, she had been the wife of a murder victim, and Nick had drawn the case.

Amanda had instantly fallen in love with him, he was so kind, yet so determined to find out who had killed her husband, he had really been there for her when she needed a shoulder to cry on.

Until now the only place they saw each other was at her house, he didn't take her out in public for fear of being caught. He had been upfront and honest with her from the start about being married but it didn't deter her.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" She asked.

"What's that?" He asked.

"Going out in public, what if someone catches us?"

"They won't, this is a pretty high end restaurant, Jackie doesn't really like places like this, we are safe."

"What went wrong between you two?" She asked.

"Nothing, I love Jackie, I truly do, but when she's pregnant, the second she starts to show, sex is off the table, and it's never been a problem for me before but for some reason, this time it is driving me crazy."

"I'm sure for a guy as gorgeous as you, not having sex for a number of months must be awful."

"I've got you so it's not really that difficult." He replied with a smile.

She leaned over and kissed him.

Jackie had just walked into the restaurant, she was there for a mandatory after school meeting, she didn't want to be there, she was tired and her feet and back were absolutely killing her but it was mandatory so she'd have to get through it.

It might be fun, it's a chance to get out of the house and spend the evening with my teaching partners who are two of my best friends. She thought to herself, trying to talk herself into the fact that this evening might not be so bad.

"Hi Lisa, where's Sue?" Jackie asked as she sat down next to Lisa Masters, one of her teaching partners.

"Hi Jackie, she's running a little late, traffic is crazy."

Five minutes later Sue showed up.

"I'll be right back, I'm going to run to the restroom." Jackie told her two friends a while into the meeting.

On the way back from the bathroom Jackie spotted Nick, with his tongue practically down another woman's throat.

She turned around and walked back to her table.

"I have to go." She told her two friends.

"What, why? Are you ok?" Sue asked.

"Are you in labor?" Lisa asked.

"No, I just have to go." Jackie said and with that she turned around and headed for the door as tears started cascading down her face.
