It was six am, and I had just finished my workout at the gym. I headed for the locker rooms to have a shower; I was to meet Bella for coffee before my rotation at the hospital. When I got into the locker room, it was relatively quiet, with the exception of one shower running. I stripped off my clothing; admire my rock hard body in the mirrors. Taking advantage of my current situation, I flexed my biceps. Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the gun show. I kissed each arm. I walked towards to showers when I heard some very distinct moaning. Okay not just any moaning, these were moans and grunts of pleasure. Intrigued, I took a quick peek under the white shower stall, only to find not one set, but two sets of male feet. Oh no way, no fucking way. Really of all places to hook up, these dudes pick the gym. I stepped back when I heard the shower stop, stunned I just froze in place. I just heard two men getting each other off, that's a first. To throw me further into shock, Jacob and James stepped out from the shower. Holy Fuck, no way. Jacobs's eyes were wide with shock; his normally bronze skin was a lighter shade of pale. James' face turned green, he looked like he was going to throw up. Jacob and James are colleagues of mine at the hospital, and both married, to women. I searched my brain for something to say. I still wasn't processing this new info that well. It's just, I keep going back to the fact that they are married.
"Um...Jacob...uh James...yeah." I shook my head.
"Edward, please this isn't how we wanted this to come out." James whispered.
"We love our wives, and our families." James pleaded.
They both stepped towards me, still wrapped in towels. I took a step back.
"Look, Jake, you are married to my wife's friend. I may not like her, but I am not going to be the one responsible for breaking her heart. That's your deal." I ran my fingers through my hair. "James, I am not going to tell Victoria either. Both of you need to deal with this yourselves."
"Really?" They both questioned me. Shock and surprise etched in their faces.
"Yes really, now if you'll excuse me I think I just want to go home and shower." I walked back to my locker and got dressed. I called Bella and told her to just make coffee at home, I was coming home. I needed to be with my wife.
"Bella, Bella where are you?" I called out for her.
"Right here baby, in the kitchen."
I ran to her, and wrapped my arms around her petite frame.
"Hi baby, did you miss me?" She giggled, as I peppered kisses down her neck.
"You have no idea. I love you, please just know I love you." I mouthed against her skin. She turned her body into mine. She reached up and held my face between her hands. Her beautiful dark chocolate eyes holding my gaze and soothing my soul.
"Edward, are you okay?"She questioned me.
"Yeah baby, just a weird morning. I just wanted to make sure you knew that I loved you, and I will never stop. You Bella, you are my world." I hugged her tight to me, smelling her strawberry shampoo on her hair. Peace, being with Bella was my peace. I could never be with another; I could never do to her what I had just witnessed. I could never cause her that pain, and it was because of her that I would keep what I saw a secret. I could not and I would not cause that pain to anyone, I would take their secret to the grave.
