Alex's POV

After Izzie left the house, I knew I could not just pace the floors waiting for her return. She was going to talk to Sloan about the baby. I wanted to go with her but she convinced me it would be better if I let her do it on her own, a decision I regretted the moment she walked out the door.

I thought for a second about going to Joe's for a drink, but decided against it. All our friends were probably there, and I knew that someone would spot the wedding band on my finger and I would have to explain. I wasn't up for twenty questions.

I got in my Jeep and drove, not sure, where I was going. I began to think about the situation with Kelly. I have my suspicions about her but that is all they are, suspicions. I have no real proof of anything right now.

The blue flashing lights in my rearview mirror suddenly caught my attention; unaware of what I might have done wrong I pulled over to the side of the road. I was a little relieved when he sped by me and disappeared, turning onto a side street. I saw another flashing light, this one from the blinking red and yellow neon sign on the building to my left. It was a bar, and from the looks, it was just starting to fill with people. The parking area was small, only room enough for maybe a dozen cars. Luckily, there were plenty of open spaces in the vacant parking lot across the street.

As far as bars go, it wasn't the worst one I had ever been in. It wasn't far from it though. I took a seat at a table in the back. A pair of big bouncing boobs attached to a girl who looked way to young for this place approached my table. "Hi, I'm Leann." She twisted her honey colored hair through her fingers. "Is this seat taken?" Before I could tell her yes, she plopped down into the seat next to me. "So you wanna take me home?" I am a little shocked at how bold she is and it reminds me of the night I met Kelly.

"I don't think so, sorry." I hold up my left hand, hoping she will get the point. I'm married and not looking to take someone home.

"I won't tell if you won't." Her bright emerald eyes sparkle as she challenges me, if I had met this girl a few years ago I'd be screwing her out in my car right now. In fact, the last time I did that, I was stuck with Kelly for five years and look how well that turned out.

I would have to be stern, I knew as soon as her hand rested on my thigh. "I'm not interested." Grasping her hand, I placed it on top of the sticky wooden table.

Leann pouted, probably not used to being rejected. "How about a threesome? Your wife must be hot."

"She is…and I don't think so." I shook my head at her. This girl was unbelievable. Her eyes narrowed, for a moment, I thought maybe she was going to slap me across the face. I braced myself, getting ready for the sting of her hand connecting with my cheek. I've been slapped before, plenty of times and the scowl upon her face told me it was about to happen again.

To my surprise, her fists balled up in front of her face and she started crying, not exactly what I expected out of a woman who was asking for my wife and me to fuck her a few minutes ago. "I'm sorry. I'm so pathetic…no wonder my boyfriend is screwing someone else." Her body heaved as she cried, I felt bad for her. "I thought maybe if he saw me with someone else, he'd get jealous and stop having sex with that woman." Her fingers wiped furiously at her wet eyes, smearing the small amount of makeup she wore. "You're the cutest guy to walk into this place in a long time…you even have all of your teeth." She started crying harder.

Why do women do this to me? I have no clue what to say to her. Where is O'Malley when I actually need him? "The guy sounds like an ass; you should dump him and find someone who isn't going to screw someone else."

"He is an ass! Never got over his ex-wife." She tugs at the napkins in the holder on the table. "The funny thing is she cheated on him, and now he's cheating on me." She blows her nose into the napkin and tosses it on the table before grabbing another. "Can you believe it? He hates this guy that fucked up his marriage and he's really no better if you ask me."

"Sounds like his ex really did a number on him." I glance at my watch, not caring to hear anymore. I wonder if Izzie is home yet.

"And when I confronted him, he said it wasn't the same. He said he was only doing it to get back at the guy that stole his wife." She paused to blow her nose again. "It's been eight years, get over it already!" Her voice rises as she stares toward the front. "He's trying to get this woman pregnant, so she can get her ex back."

"How does that get back at the jerk who stole his wife?" I ask. I hate to admit, I'm actually getting interested in her story.

"That's the insane part." She snorts. "This woman he's doing was dating the man who stole his precious ex wife, apparently he dumped her for his dream girl and Jeff figures if he can help her get pregnant she can convince him to go back to her."

"Is this guy an idiot? Why would he go back to her? He has his dream girl." Just like, I have mine.

"The 'idiot' thinks it's his baby and she has some plan to win him back." The poor idiot, it's worse than a soap opera. "And if it doesn't work she's gonna make his life miserable. I feel bad for the guy. Jeff wants him to suffer." Just as she was about to go on, a tiny woman with a drink tray in her hand stopped at our table.

"Leann, quit bothering this guy with your bullshit." The woman scolded.

Leann rolls her eyes. "Misty, mind your own business. My friend…" For the first time, she realizes she never asked my name in her haste to get me into bed.

"Alex." I say.

"My friend Alex and I are having a private conversation, so just slink back to the bar and get us a few drinks." She smiles in my direction. "My treat."

Once the waitress is gone, I turn to Leann "That's not really necessary you know."

"It's the least I can do, you've been really nice. Besides Jeff owns this place so my drinks are free." I smile and thank her.

"You want to see the woman he's screwing?" She asks.

"She's here?" I glance around the crowded bar, most of the women are not very attractive and for a minute I wonder how angry this Jeff guy is to have sex with a woman that's probably more manly than he is. Leann is easily the hottest woman in here.

"Nope, but she should be here any minute. They meet every night and fuck in the alley behind the bar." This woman sounds classy, I laugh to myself. "There she is, right on time." Leann points toward the door.

My head seems to turn in slow motion, as you see in the movies. I can feel my heart thumping loudly as I watch the woman who is screwing Leann's boyfriend move through the crowd. It's Kelly.
