Chapter 3 : It's Not What It Seems

Info: Jamie's POV.

With planning the wedding and everything, I forgot that it will be two years since Rodney died. Some peole may say that it is to soon to get married again, but I know he wants me to be happy and Landon makes me happy. It's different then it was with Rodney. Rodney gave me that security, Landon does too, but Rodney was my first husband. There's always that around. He was my protector, now Landon has taken over that job and has been very protective, not the jealous type, the caring type.

I plan on going to the cemetary to give Rodney some flowers. I will go alone and then take Caitlin with later. She always wants to go, but I want to be alone. I asked Landon to watch her and I would pick her up later.

"I'll be back soon." I said getting ready to leave Landon's.

"But why I come now?" Caitlin asked.

"Because, I want to be alone. I will come back later. You won't be here long." I said kissing her on the forehead.

" I don't understand why you have to be alone?" She said.

"Because." I said and "Thank you, Landon. I'll be back in a hour." We kissed.

"Bye James." He said. He's been calling me that now. I don't know why, but I'm ok with it.

After I left Landon's, I ran to the flower shop and got some flowers for Rodney. I always give him something different. Changes every year, like his mood, everyday was something different.

I drove to the cemetary and parked close to his grave. He wasn't to close to the road. I don't mind the walk. I like to look at the headstones and think of what this people did in life. When I got closer to Rodney's grave, I saw a strange lady putting flowers on his grave. I walked over.

"Hi, I'm Jamie." I said.

"I'm Naomi." She said. She stepped back and I put my flowers on the grave. She asked "How do you know Rodney?"

How do I know him? I was married to him. I don't want to upset myself or scare her.

"I'm his wife, or was." I said looking at my left hand. landon had given my an engagement ring that replaced my old wedding ring, which I keep safety put away.

"Were you divorced?" She asked. I kept wondering who this was and how she knew my husband.

"No, we were still married whe he died." I said looking down at his headstone.

"He never spoke of a wife. He spoke of his daughter he had from a previous marriage. Are you sure you were married to him?" She asked. That was a dumb question.

"Yes, for 8 years we were married. We do have a daughter." I said and then I asked " How do you know Rodney?"

"We were lovers, for 3 years. Then we broke up. I moved away to start a different life. When I found out about his death, I was devasted. I thought that we would meet up someday and get back together. Now we can't. I wish I could go back to the time we were together, but I can't." She said and "I have to go. See you around." She walked away and drove away in her car.

Rodney cheated on me? I could feel the tears forming. I thought he really loved me? We have a daughter together. Was it after we had Caitlin that he started to cheat? Was it beacuse I spent more time with her than with him? I had to spend time with her, she was a baby. I can't believe it. Rodney, the love of my life, cheated on me. He acted so lovable and affectionate at home. He acted as if he really looved us. He cheated.

"Why Rodney?" I asked. I walked away and pulled out of the cemetary. I needed time to think.

I pulled into Landon's driveway two hours later. Later then I said. I knocked on the door and he answered.

"Jamie, where were you?" He asked as I walked in.

"I found something out." I said and "It's bad."

"Kids, go out to the back." He said shooing them out and then asked "What is it?"

"When I was at the cemetary, I saw this lady I've never seen before. She was putting flowers on Rodney's grave. So I go over and ask her how she knows Rodney, I thought she was just an old friend or co-worker." I said wiping my tears.

"And?" He asked.

"She was his lover. They were lovers, Landon. My husband, the man I loved and thought loved my back, cheated on me. We had a daughter together. I gave him twelve years of my life and this his how he repays me?" I said. Tears ran down from my eyes. I felt has if this was a dream. That I will soon wake up and believe, know that Rodney didn't cheat on me and was the man I was married to.

Landon was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

"I can't tell Caitlin, she will be crushed. I won't tell her." I said.

"You don't have to tell her. She does not need to know." He said. I nodded and then he asked "So what are you gonna do?"

"There's nothing I can do. Rodney's dead. I just have to get on with my life. I want to marry you Landon and pray that will not do anything like that." I said. He walked closer to me.

"I won't, Jamie. I love you too much to ruin everything. Everything i have done so far is for you and if I didn't love that much, I won't have done it." He said. Wow. Those were about the sweets words I've ever heard, besides those three special words.

"Landon, I love you too." I said. He puts his hands on my cheeks and kisses me.

P.S. What da ya Think? I want to thank Vicki, who send me some ideas and gave my this one. My writer's block is gone, so I hope this chapter is better.
