Chapter 9
Jeff's POV
I'm not even sure where to start. I love Krista, or at least I think I still love her. I really don't know anymore. We've been married for 5 years and after suffering miscarriage after miscarriage, we stopped trying to get pregnant. The last miscarriage was actually considered a still born birth since Krista was 5 months pregnant when the baby was born.
She's gone to doctor after doctor to find out why that keeps happening and she wanted me to get tested but it couldn't be my fault, could it? At any rate I flat out refused to get tested and eventually just moved out of the master bedroom altogether. I had even considered moving in to Matt's house for a while, but what good would that do? He and Hailey are happily married and trying to conceive as well.
It just seems that since my drug arrest nearly 3 years ago, I have driven Krista further away from me. I don't want to lose her, but there is something that I have done that if she finds out, I know she will leave me for sure. While I work for TNA and we are not gone nearly as often as with the WWE, I have been sleeping with one of the TNA Knockouts that I work with. We've been sleeping together since I joined TNA and Krista wasn't talking to me.
Right now Krista is on the road with the WWE as she is the youngest daughter of Vince McMahon. I've tried to get her to leave the WWE and travel with me knowing that she would never leave her dad's company. They are currently in Toronto and she is due to be home tomorrow. Little does she know I am on my way there to see about working on our marriage.
When I arrived at the hotel everyone was staying at I ran into Matt and Hailey as they were heading to dinner. I got a room and as I turned around I saw Krista in the lounge with her best friend Kinley, her husband Randy Orton and John Cena. I didn't know Krista as the type to cheat on anyone and it didn't look like she was flirting with anyone eiter. I put it out of my head and headed up to my room.
The next morning I woke up to my phone ringing, but didn't get to it in time. It was Krista calling me. I waited a few minutes and jumped in the shower before checking for a voice mail. Sure enough there was one.
"Hey Jeff. I just wanted to let you know that a project came up and instead of flying home, I have to fly to Tampa. Give me a call when you can. Bye."
I deleted the message thinking that there was something else going on. I would have called her father, but seeing how he already hates me as is, I won't. I got her room number from the front desk last night and decided to go see her face to face. I walked up to her door and knocked. It took her a minute or two to open the door.
"What are you doing here?" Krista asked.
"I wanted to see you and see if there is anyway we can work on our marriage." I answered.
"I don't think now is a good time. I just called your phone and left you a message. I have to head to Tampa to work on a project for Daddy. He doesn't want anyone knowing about it as it's a work in progress. I will be home sometime next week and maybe we can talk then." Krista told me.
"Oh ok. I didn't hear my phone ring. Are you rooming with someone?" I asked as I noticed the bed was a complete mess .
"No. I had the girls here yesterday." Krista answered.
"Ok. I guess I'll see you next week when you come back home." I responded before leaving.
I went back to my room and gathered my stuff before heading to the lobby to meet with Matt and Hailey to head to the airport. As we were in the lobby I spotted Kinley and Randy and walked over to her.
"Hey Kinley." I stated.
"Hey Jeff. How's it going?" Kinley asked.
"Alright I guess. What do you know of a secrect project that Krista is working on this week?" I asked her.
"I really don't know anything. Its a secret project. I wouldn't worry too much about it. You know how her dad is about special projects. He wants them kept secret until its time to reveal them. And he must have picked Krista to handle this one." Kinley answered.
"Ok. But what is in Tampa that had anything to do with her dad?" I asked Kinley.
"Jeff, I don't know. Anything is possible with that man." Kinley answered slightly annoyed.
"Alright. I guess I'll just have to wait until Krista tells me. Thanks." I stated as I walked away.
After leaving for the airport I shut off my phone and tried not to think about my failing marriage. I dozed off on the flight home and after making the 2 hour drive from Raleigh to Cameron, I finally crashed in my bed that I used to share with Krista.
