Elizabeth's POV

Crap! Peter would be over any minute and I was a wreck. I had ugly sweats on and my makeup was smeared. I ran to the bathroom and washed all my makeup off so I didn't look like a raccoon. Then I raced to the closet. I had to find cute pajamas that weren't obviously sexy. I decided on lavender pants made of silk and a lavender tank top to match. I heard a small tap at my door and suddenly felt butterflies in my stomach. Stop this Elizabeth. He's married, nothing is going to happen. He just wants to talk as friends. I fluffed my hair anyways and then opened the door.

"Hi Peter!" I said as I gave him a big hug.

"Hey Liz! You look pretty." he said with a smile

"You are too kind! I'm not that pretty and I'm getting old"

"Hey stop trashing yourself Liz. You are beautiful and you're still younger than me! If you are old than that makes me old too!" he laughed

I held the door for him as he walked in. He sat down on the love seat and patted the space next to him. I ran over and jumped on top of the chair and fell on him. My hands were on his chest and I was blushing.

"Sorry Peter. I get kinda wild around midnight."

"It's okay, I got a good laugh out of it" he said with a smile on his face.

Gosh he had an amazing smile! I blushed knowing I was the reason behind it. Time to change the subject and find out why he wanted to talk.

"So what did you want to talk to me about doc?" I said jokingly.

"Well, I need your help. There's this girl and I think I might be falling in love with her. I don't want to be unfaithful, especially if I'm not sure yet. I still love Jennie a lot but this woman makes me feel so happy inside. She's kind, sweet, quirky and I can't help but smile around her. What do I do?" Peter leaned back and waited for my response.

My heart dropped. He was falling for someone that wasn't Jennie but it also wasn't me either. I definitely had no chance with him. I was on the verge of crying but I couldn't let Peter know how I felt. I would lose him as my friend if I told him I loved him. I would rather be friends than nothing at all. So I held in my tears and did my best to respond with a clear head.

"Well I'd wait a little bit and see if she likes you back. Then see if you love her more than Jennie. Right now it could just be a crush and you don't want to end your marriage and then regret your decision later. " I said

"Okay sounds like a plan! Want to watch a movie? How about Definitely Maybe?" He picked up the remote and scrolled down to it.

" You don't want to watch an action movie?" I was surprised. I thought that was what all guys liked to watch.

"I'd rather watch a heartwarming movie" be said as he threw a blanket over both of us.

We both relaxed on the love seat and focused on the tv.

Peter's POV

I rushed to get dressed so I could go hang out with Elizabeth. I can't believe she said yes. I threw on a tight blue shirt and some jeans. When Elizabeth opened the door I was stunned. She wore silky purple pajamas and looked really hot. Why did I have to be married? I thought to myself. If only i would have met Elizabeth 17 years ago. She invited me in and I asked what I should do about liking another woman. I could see the dissapointent in her eyes after I didn't mention her specifically. She likes me too. I was so happy and surprised that she felt the same way I did. I was really talking about her but she didn't know that. I felt bad because she doesn't know that the woman I was falling in love was her. Elizabeth was so beautiful and made me happy no matter what. I suggested a movie and decided on a girly one because I knew she needed something heartwarming. During the movie Elizabefh fell asleep and cuddled unknowingly next to me. Her head was on my chest and I couldn't help but think that it felt perfect. Her body felt perfect next to mine. Gosh, this was so wrong but I felt so right being next to Elizabeth. I gently caressed her head and brushed through her hair with my fingers. Her hair was so soft. Just another thing I loved about her. Some of it had fallen onto her face and I brushed it behind her ear while slowly caressing her cheek. She stirred and began to wake up. I hope she wouldn't realize I had been petting her hair and holding her. What am I going to do? I have caught a bad case of the love bug and I didn't want to get better
