July 1st, 2006

Alex's birthday was in a few days. She couldn't believe she was thirty-two. Time sure flew by when you had a two year old and when you were trying to teach a thirteen year old to drive. Jimmy wasn't helping her any. His attitude had really been bad the past couple of weeks. It had been putting Alex off.

"I can beat him up if you want." Adam said. Alex giggled.

"No. Please don't." She said, "he has a pretty face he won't know what to do without a pretty face."

"True. Poor boy would be lost." Adam said. "How is everything though?" Alex sighed.

"It's getting hard, but not in a bad way. I think we're just both starting to feel the stress of the wedding." She said. Adam nodded as he folded some of Aidan's clothes.

"I suppose." Adam frowned.

"You suppose?" Alex looked at her older brother.

"Yeah I suppose. I've heard stories about Jimmy from you before you were together." He said, "I don't want to see him straying and see your heart being broken."

"He's not going to be breaking my heart." Alex smiled.

Jimmy sat at the bar nursing a beer. He didn't want to go home. He just wanted to relax without Aidan jumping all over him. A woman with long legs sat next to him. Jimmy couldn't help but to look at them. She smirked.

"The name is Sasha." She said. Jimmy nodded.

"Jimmy." He said. Her waist was tiny like Alex's, but she had a lot more curves that Alex. Her breasts...She had nice ones. Her hair was dark and wavy and hung around her waist.

"So, Jimmy, why are you here alone?" Sasha asked.

"I didn't want to go home." He said. Sasha picked up his hand.

"No ring. You're not married." Sasha smirked. Jimmy shook his head.

"Nope. I'm not married." He said.

"Good." Sasha slid off of the barstool and gave Jimmy a seductive wink. She walked towards the bathrooms. Jimmy sat there watching her walk away.

"Great." He mumbled finishing off his beer. He glanced around him to make sure no one he worked with was there and then he followed Sasha into the bathroom.

"I knew you'd follow me." Sasha said. Jimmy smiled.

"Oh you must be physic." He said. Sasha nodded as she locked the bathroom door.

"Sometimes I think I am." She said, "I knew I would meet a gorgeous man tonight and look, here you are."
"Here I am." Jimmy smirked. Sasha nodded taking his hand.

"Here you are." She said, guiding his hand up her leg. Jimmy groaned with a smile. Sasha's eyes grew dark showing him she wasn't wearing any underwear, "Do you need to go home?"

"No." He mumbled.

"Good." Sasha said. She pulled his lips down to hers. Jimmy groaned again. She tasted like wine. He with drew his fingers from her as he deepened the kiss. Their tongues danced together. Sasha's hands slid into his pants.

Jimmy tensed up slightly, but relax when her hands wrapped around him. Jimmy closed his eyes tightly falling in love with the feeling. An image of Alex and the boys flashed through his mind. He opened his eyes.

"Oh god." Jimmy grunted.

"That's right." She smiled. Jimmy put his hands on Sasha's shoulders and pushed her away. "Hey!"

"I can't do this." Jimmy fixed his pants and began to wash his hands. His fingers were where they weren't supposed to be. He needed to get Sasha's smell off of him.

"What's your problem?" Sasha asked.

"I'm not into whores anymore." Jimmy said and quickly left the bathroom.

Alex closed the door to Aidan's room. He was sound asleep now. Adam had tired him out with all the playing they did. She walked down the stairs to see Jimmy walk in.

"Hey." She smiled. Jimmy nodded.

"Hey." He mumbled walking into the kitchen to get something to wash his mouth out with. Alex frowned.

"How was work?" Alex asked.

"Lay off me, Alex. I don't want to talk." Jimmy snapped. Alex crossed her arms and glared at him.

"Excuse me?" She asked. Jimmy sighed.

"I didn't mean to snap." He said, "I'm just stressed."
"Join the club." Alex said. Jimmy looked at her.

"We need to talk." He said. Alex stared into his eyes. There was something wrong. She could tell. She nodded slowly.

"All right." She said. Jimmy sighed, turning his eyes away from here.

"I went to hagerty's for a drink after work. There was this girl." He said. Alex's heart stopped.

"What girl?" She whispered.

"Sasha or something like that." He said, "We went into the bathroom..." Alex's eyes filled with tears.

"Jimmy..." She whispered.

"I touched her...and....She touched me." Jimmy said. Alex felt physically sick.

"Did....Did...you have sex?" Alex sputtered. Jimmy shook his head.

"We just touched, but when I realized what I was doing I stopped and came home." Jimmy said.

"Am I supposed to give you a gold star for that?" Alex snapped.

"I'm sorry, Alex." He said, "I don't want to be that guy again."

"Well, sorry to break it to you, Jimmy, you are." Alex said. It broke Jimmy's heart to see tears running down her face.

"I'll leave if you want me to." He said. Alex shook her head.

"No. That would be an easy way out of this and I don't want to explain to our two-year-old son why his daddy isn't here in the morning." Alex said.

"I am so sorry, Alex. I feel like such an asshole." He said.

"Well, you are an asshole." She said. "We're getting married next year. Are you trying to get something out of your system before that happens or do you not want to marry me?"

"I want to marry you, Alex." Jimmy sighed.

"Then show me." Alex whispered, "You have a lot to make up for." Jimmy nodded.

"I know." He said. "I suppose I get the couch?"

"You can have the guestroom until further notice." She said, "I don't...I cant look at you now. You're making me sick." Alex walked out of the room leaving Jimmy standing there alone. He knew he had screwed up royally and He knew it would take a long time to make Alex forgive him. But she would within time.
