I'm really sorry I haven't updated in a while, been busy being the summer holidays and all.

It was the next day, and all four were in Grace's office talking when Jack's mobile went off,

'Oh my god it's Paul' Jack exclaimed

'Well answer it' will replied

'Yea ok' Jack then answered the mobile 'Hello…tonight…..yea…..well ok then…..but don't you want to go out some where instead…..yea that sounds good…ok I'll meet you their at 8….ok bye'

'Well' Grace said after Jack had put the mobile down

'We are going out tonight, to the club'

'Wow Jack a second date, this must be serious, how long is it going to last?' will asked

'For your information its not serious' Jack snapped back

'Just ignore him poodle, he's winded you up' Karen said.

Later that day, Will and Jack had left Grace's office,

'So Karen I have to go and see Mrs Brown, she wants this whole big thing done in her front room, so just answer the…., send that……who am I kidding paint your nails, and read vogue' Grace said walking out

'Honey what ever you say' Karen shouted back, then carried on reading, she was on her own for about 10 minutes when she her a knock at the door 'Come in' she said with out looking up

'Hay Karen' Karen looked up as soon as this man spoke

'Paul….what are you doing here?' Karen asked

'Well Jack told me were you worked, I needed to talk to you'

'Ok honey…. are you ok?'

'Yea I'm fine I just wanted to know is Jack?'

'He's fine why do you ask?'

'Well he seemed a bit off on the phone and I just wanted to know is he ok with me'

'Sure he is honey, he's just a bit worried he always gets like it when someone is interested in him, he's never had someone that wants to go out with him on a second date'

'So that's it, it's not because I split wine down you last night?'

'No' Karen said smiling

'I am really sorry for that'

'It's ok we've all done it'

'Thanks Karen, I see why Jack has you for a hag' Karen just smiled, when all of a sudden "Paul" put his hand behind Karen's head leaned in and kissed her on the lips

'What are you doing?' Karen asked pulling away looking shocked

'I'm sorry….I see Jack do it to you….I'm so sorry I shouldn't of done it'

'It's…...its'

'I'll go' Simon said interrupting her inside him was so pleased with himself causing Karen to feel awkward

'Um Paul' she called to him

'Yea'

'Please don't tell Jack what just happened, he'll get the wrong idea'

'Ok I won't…..promise' Simon said smirking as he left.

Later that day, Jack was getting ready to go out

'So Kare, how do I look?' Jack said coming out from the bedroom, in jeans and a tight black top

'Yea good' Karen said

'Are you sure?'

'Yea fine'

'Are you alright Kare' Jack said sensing her tone of voice, he sat down beside her

'Yea I'm fine'

'You sure, you seem in a world of your own'

'I'm just tied, looked going Jack you're going to be late'

'Ok then I'll see you later' He kissed her goodbye and left. Karen sat on the sofa wishing she had told Jack, he deserved to know, but would it hurt him if he didn't?

At the club, Jack and Paul were sitting down at a table in the corner

'So what did you do today?' Simon asked

'Oh you know this that and the other' Jack said then slipped his drink 'You?'

'Nothing' Simon smiled then continued 'actually something did happen today Jack'

'Oh yea what was that, something fun'

'No um…..I don't know how to say this'

'What is it Paul, you can tell me'

'I went to Grace's office today to find you but you went there, so I was talking to Karen…'

'Hope about me' Jack said interrupting him, Simon smiled at him

'No actually, she was telling me how lonely she felt not having a boyfriend or anything, and the next thing I know she kissed me'

'WHAT' Jack shouted

'Look Jack don't go on one, I' sure it meant nothing you know she's alone and it was a rebound thing, but she didn't want me to tell you, but I don't want to keep things from you Jack'

'What a bitch after all the things I done for her, she goes and does this' Jack stood up, but Simon grabbed his arm

'Where are you going?' he asked

'To sort this out, how dare she does that and not even tell me'

'Jack just leave it, I wouldn't have told you if I known it was going to upset yours and Karen's relationship'

'Oh but it has, look Paul I'm really sorry, I'll call tomorrow, she shouldn't of used you as a rebound guy I'm really sorry'

'That's ok, bye then'

'Bye' Jack said and stormed out, Simon sat there grinning from one ear to the other drinking his drink.

Back at Jack's Karen was sitting on the sofa watching TV, when Jack came in

'You're back early' she said

'When were you going to tell me' He said just standing there

'Tell you what honey'

'Oh I don't know THAT YOU KISSED PAUL' He shouted

'What I told him not to tell you because I knew it would upset you jack, it was nothing I promise'

'So you're not denying it then'

'No'

'How could you do this to me Karen after everything that we've been through, I trusted you not to do that'

'I'm so sorry Jack, it wasn't my fault you know I could never do that to you' Karen said close to tears

'So what you tripped and your lips happen to land on his lips'

'What no Jack, he was talking to me, then the next thing he kissed me'

'He kissed you'

'Yea why what did he say?'

'That you kissed him'

'What Jack no' Karen said walking over to him 'I could never do that to you Jack, you know I love you too much to hurt you'

'Yea whatever' Jack walking away from her

'Jack' Karen said crying

'Oh that's it turn on the water works when you can't figure out how to sort things out you just turn on the waterworks'

'Jack…why you being like this'

'Because you kissed my boyfriend'

'Jack I didn't, he kissed me'

'Oh whatever, you are so jealous of us, because we have some one and you don't, you've been trying to split us up for day one'

'Jack'

'Just get out'

'What'

'GET OUT, YOU HEARD ME'

'But Jack'

'GET OUT' He shouted, but when she didn't move he walked up to her 'You know what maybe you are like your mother'

'YOU BITCH' Karen shouted and slapped him round the face

'JUST GET OUT' he screamed at her and with that Karen walked out, she didn't go far only over to Will and Grace's.

Karen was sitting on their sofa crying telling them everything that had happened.

'Oh sweetie' Grace said hugging her

'I…I don't know why he just flipped'

'Do you want me to go over and talk to him?' will asked

'If you don't mind' Karen said, will kissed her on the forehead then went to speak to Jack.

'You do believe me Grace don't you?'

'Of course I do'

'Then why doesn't Jack?'

Over at Jack's

'Jack talk to me'

'I'm sure you know the story, I'm sure she has already brainwashed you'

'Jack your been stupid, you know she wouldn't hurt you but how do you know that Paul wont you haven't known him long enough'

'Oh shut up Will your jealous'

'OF WHAT JACK' will shouted, he now was getting fed up with him

'BECAUSE I HAVE A BOYFRIEND, come on your last serious boyfriend was Michael, but were is he now with all your other boyfriends down the drain'

'Yea well at least I have a drain of serious boyfriends'

'Oh just get out will, go back to Karen'

'You know what I will no one can talk to you when your like this, full of bitter and lies, but let me tell you this, I know for a fact you know Karen would never hurt you no matter how upset she was, how much she wanted to kiss someone, me and you know that she would never of kissed Paul, she loves you too much Jack you are the one person in this world that keeps her going, and I know you know that she didn't kiss Paul, so why cant you just admit that, that you don't know Paul as well as you think, I just hope you know how much you have thrown away because of that man' with that will walked out Jack just stood there, he knew will was right, but he felt so hurt.

That night Karen stayed on will and Grace's sofa, while Jack stayed in his bed, which for the first time in months he was alone..
