So I've re-written this like 4 times and decided on this one. I listened to the song 'Dirty Laundry' and 'Before He Cheats' by Carrie Underwood because it fit ;) .. I'm truly sorry.
Emily stumbled out of Molly's, drunk. She made her way to Jay and basically fell into his arms. He caught her and held her back up.
"Woah, looks like someone's had a lot to drink." Jay said. Emily moved closer to him and placed her hand on his abs, sliding her fingers up and down his chest.

"What are you d-," He was interrupted by her roughly kissing his lips.
Emily threw herself at him and slung her arms around his neck, pressing her breasts against his chest. He kissed her back roughly, consumed by the alcohol. Her hand drunkenly traveled to cup him through his jeans. He grunted and pulled her tight against him. Jay then came back to reality, this wasn't his wife. He pushed her off harshly and, thankfully, his uber pulled up. He didn't look back.
The whole ride, Jay sat in the car thinking about what he was going to do. Guilt. That's all he felt. Erin would be crushed if she knew he didn't pull back right away. He didn't know why he kept kissing her, he was shocked. He was also under the influence and she was drunk. That was no excuse though, for being unfaithful.
He arrived home. He didn't know how to tell Erin. She was usually understanding about most things, but this, no way.
He unlocked the front door and walked inside, it was dark. He turned on a light to find Erin sitting at the kitchen counter. She recognized right away something was up. She knew him.
He stumbled inside, keeping his head down.
"You're late, did you have a fun time?" Erin asked.
"Uh, yeah... What are you doing still up?"
"I can't sleep without you, you know that." Erin said, her expression softening. Whatever was up with him, she was just going to let it go. She walked closer and wrapped her arms around his neck. Unknown to Erin, a woman had her arms around her husband the way hers were now.
Jay was hesitant at first, debating whether right now was a good time to tell her or not. She smiled at him, sensing his hesitant.
He was distracted when she kissed his lips softly. Erin was unaware that another woman had her lips there, also, and he had kissed the other woman back. She was going to be heartbroken.
He didn't kiss Erin back. Instead, he broke the kiss bye stepping away and murmuring 'goodnight'.
Erin didn't know why he was acting so weird but she was going to find out, eventually. They told each other everything.
Soon they both made their ways to their bedroom and went to bed. Jay faced away from Erin. She felt her heart break a little.
Deciding that it was probably just the alcohol, Erin wrapped an arm around his waist, kissing his shoulder. She soon fell asleep. This was only the beginning.
But Jay, he stayed awake for hours. His thoughts keeping him from falling asleep. He absentmindedly rubbed up and down Erin's arm that was draped around him. She was his wife, she would forgive him. Jay just didn't want to hurt her or make her think she wasn't enough, because she was more than enough. He thought he didn't deserve her.
The next morning Erin woke up to an empty bed. She turned her body to her nightstand in search of her phone. She found a small blue sticky note.
Went to work early. Need to finish something. See you after work.
Erin inspected the note. She was confused when there was no 'I love you' or 'babe' found on the note like his usual notes.
She shook the thought and gathered her and his clothes from the bathroom to do laundry.
As she was placing each item of clothing into the washer, she noticed something strange. A smell of perfume. Not Erin's perfume smell either.
The smell was stronger when she picked up Jay's shirt and smelled it. He heart dropped.
Why was another woman's perfume all over her husbands shirt?
A bunch of thoughts went through her mind. One stuck with her though, because she trusted Jay and knew nothing happened. She assumed it was just Kim's scent because she was too drunk and Jay held her up or something. Erin prayed that was the situation.
Meanwhile, Jay stood in the looker room. His head in his hands. He texted Emily and told her to meet him early.
Earlier, Jay couldn't find the courage to tell Erin. He decided leaving and clearing his head would give him a fresh mind. He kissed her forehead and left the note for her to find when she woke up.
Emily walked in, hungover. She gave Jay a smile and sat next to him on the bench.
"What's up? Why did you have me come in so early?" Emily asked.
Jay looked at her with a depressed look. He had bags under his eyes.
"Roberts.. about last night.."
"I had a great time with the team.. From what I remember.. When did you end up leaving?" She asked, looking at him with a confused look.
"Uh.. You don't remember me leaving?" Jay asked.
"No... Should I?"
"Um, no. Never mind." Jay said, standing up and walking out. He went to his car and sat in it. Soon anger filled him, how could he be this stupid? He slammed his fists on the steering wheel.
The only thing that worked out was that Emily didn't remember. Maybe he could get away with not telling her and they could go back to normal. He still has to tell Erin.
