Chapter 16
Jody cautiously walked up to the bed and pulled down the covers a few inches. There was a pretty girl with brown hair lying there. She looked not even 20 yet.
"COOPER!!!" Jody yelled.
Cooper sat up and blinked. She looked at Jody and smiled warmly. "Hey Sweets, how are you?" He asked.
"COOPER!!!" Jody shouted again.
The young girl woke up and looked at Jody. "Who are you?"
"I'm his wife!!" Jody exclaimed.
"Ew!" The girl jumped out of the bed and put on her coat. "Ew! Ew! Ew!" She yelled all the way down the hall to the staircase.
Jody glared at Cooper. "What the hell is wrong with you?" Did you forget that you had a wife? Did you forget you were in love?"
Cooper yawned. "I'm sorry Jody, I really do love you."
Jody flailed her arms around. "And this is how you show it??"
Cooper stood up, wearing only boxers. "I really do love you Jody! I wouldn't have married you if I didn't love you. But don't you ever just missing being allowed to just like… other people?"
"NO!" Jody screamed.
Cooper found a shirt and stuffed it over his head. Jody found a duffel bag and started stuffing clothes into it. She went to the front door and Cooper chased after her. He took her in his arms and kissed her forehead.
"I love you!"
"I'll be back in a week." Jody said coldly as she tore out of Cooper's grip. She open the door and left.
She couldn't believe Cooper. How could he do this to her? She loved more than she had ever loved Charlie. He hadn't changed at all since she first met him at ABA. He was still this gorgeous player who broke girls hearts.
Charlie… would never have done this. He loved Jody so much. But Jody didn't love him back before, and she had hurt him too much. He would never take her back. Jody wasn't even sure if she wanted to be taken back yet. But she didn't want to think. She just wanted to do.
She got into her car and drove 10 minutes until she reached another apartment building. She hauled her duffel bad up to the 3rd floor and over to apartment 36. She plopped the bag down and knocked.
Charlie opened the door and looked at Jody.
