Saying goodbye

Chapter 19

Jessi's POV

I wake up and Kyle has his arms around me. I turn and kiss him. He wakes up and smiles at me. I kiss him again and then jump out of bed. Kyle follows me in to the bathroom and we jump in to the shower together, it is fun we wash each other and laugh. After that Kyle offers to fix breakfast and I go to get kids.

Kyle comes with us as he is still auditing the genetics class I teach. We get to Harvard early and I park the minivan. I tell Kyle, I guess we could have slept in, I am just used to doing everything alone and it takes more time. Kyle holds my hands and Kisses them then he says, I am glad we are not alone anymore. We used to be a pretty good team. I think we will get even better this time.

I look at Kyle and tell him, I have to tell Roger. Kyle holds me close to him and tells me, I am sorry Jessi, I know it will be hard for both of you. I kiss him and tell him, not as hard as it was saying bye to you. But I don't want to hurt Roger, he has been a good friend. Kyle tells me I wish you did not have to do this Jess, but the last time I checked polyandry is still illegal in the state of Massachusetts. I laugh, then look at Kyle, he cannot be serious right? I decide not to ask. But Kyle tells me with a serious face, if you want we could move to Tibet or Nepal. I just want you to be happy.

Wow! Kyle really loves me, but I love him just as much. I tell him, I only want you, there is no one else but you. Roger was always just a friend. Kyle gives me the biggest smile I have ever seen on his face and then kisses my forehead.

After class Kyle goes to work and I head over to my lab at the pharmaceutical company. After I get in I look for Roger, I tell him, Roger lets go out for lunch. He looks at me with sad eyes and tells me sure Jessi.

The morning goes by very slow. Then Roger and I walk to our favorite bistro. After ordering, I look at Roger and wonder how to start. He looks at me with his amazing brown eyes and tells me, it's okay Jessi. Congratulations on your engagement. I can see he looks sad and is fighting tears. I feel like hugging him, but I don't want to make it harder. I say I am sorry Roger you are an amazing man is just….that you love him and not me, he tells me. Then he looks at me and says with a sad smile, Jessi I love you enough to let you go. I just want your happiness, but please understand I cannot stay. I will start training Rose today to take my place. Roger tells me he needs to run some errands before heading back to the lab. I know he needs some time alone.

At the end of the day I head to pick Kyle up. My dad has the children for the evening and Kyle has asked me to go with him to help him pick out a car. I see Kyle at a distance he is waiting for me and my heart starts accelerating, I know I've made the right choice.

Kyle's POV

I realize how hard this day will be for Jessi, I wish somehow I could make it easier. I am glad when she tells me she just wants me, because I just want her. At around one I am surprised to see Roger at the door of the center ringing the doorbell. I open the door and invite him in. He just looks at me and tells me, take care of her Kyle she loves you more than you know. Then he walks away. I wish I could ease Rogers's pain, but I know from experience that it is impossible. I just hope he will find someone else to love.

Evening comes and I see Jessi's minivan, my heart accelerates then I get in and after kissing her I ask her, how did it go? She looks at me with her beautiful hazel-green eyes and tells me, as well as it can be expected. Roger will be transferring to a laboratory in another state in two weeks.

We are silent until we get to the car dealer. We look at different cars. I want something big enough for my family, but Jessi does not want for me to get a minivan. She does not say it but she has her eyes on a Porsche it's not practical, but her birthday will be coming soon. We finally settle on a nice SUV that has enough sitting for eight. The sales rep asks will you need credit. No, I will pay upfront. While the sales rep is talking to my bank to get the money transferred Jessi tells me, I thought you said pacemakers don't make that much. I kiss her and say, that's right, but I never spent much and I am not that bad at investing, plus Adam left me must of his state and of course the Nobel prize money. Jessi laughs and says, I am glad you are finally using it, that's what money is for.

Jessi heads to pick up the kids and I head back home to cook dinner. As I finish cooking the kids storm in, Sarah jumps in to my arms at the same time as Brian, I fall to the couch still holding them and then I start tickling them.

We sit to eat and Brian tells me, dad I like your new car, are you going to be driving us to school? I tell him, I will be picking you up, because I get out of work earlier than you mommy, of that way you don't have to go to after care.

After putting the children to bed I go and clean the kitchen, while Jessi vacuums the living room. When we finish we head to the bedroom. Jessi starts getting undressed and I go and help her, I start kissing her feet and move my way up, then Jessi wraps her legs around my waist and starts unbuttoning my shirt. The lights in the bedroom start flickering. I turn them off and Jessi and I continue kissing. A few lights blow out on the streets. A half hour later, Jessi whispers in to my ear, I love you and goes to sleep with her head on my chest. I bury my face in her hair and go to sleep taking in her scent.
