I felt a great sense of relief when I walked into the door of my home, it had been too long.

"Narvel, I'm home." I exclaimed while looking around for him. I hadn't talked to him all morning and I found it odd he wasn't at the airport to greet me. I hadn't asked him too, but he always was there. Oh well.

I went upstairs into our bedroom and started to unpack my things, when I was done I decided to give Shelby a call.

"hi mom." He said as he answered his phone.

"Hey Shelbs. What are you doing?"

"Not much, just getting ready to practice for the big race tomorrow. You and dad are still going to be there right?"

"We wouldn't miss it for the world."

"How was your trip?"

"It was great as always, I had a fantastic time."

"Great mom. Sorry to cut you short, but I really have to get going. I'll talk to you later, love you."

"It's ok baby, I love you too. Bye." I hung up the phone and decided to take a nap. I was really tired.

I woke up two hours later to a commotion downstairs. My house isn't that big, surprise right? You would think a country star like me would have a big house, but it's not the case. When I saw it I fell in love with it at first sight. It's a 4 bedroom, two story 2 bath house.

I walked down stairs and into the kitchen to see Narvel standing near the fridge.

I walked up to him and hugged him from behind. "Hi baby, I've missed you." I kissed his neck from behind.

He turned around and smiled at me while pulling me into a hug. "I've missed you more." he gave me a kiss. "Sorry I wasn't there when you came in, I had urgent paperwork that needed to be done."

"Don't worry about it, I needed a nap anyways." he let go of me and we sat at our chairs at the table.

"So tell me about your trip."

I proceeded to tell him about everything that happened, from the first day we got there, to the pranks Ronnie and Kix pulled on me, to me getting them back, and of course I told him about the shows we put on.

He laughed. "Sounds like you had a great time." I stood up and sat on his lap. He wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me close. I laid my head on his shoulder.

"it was great, but I missed you soo much. I wish you came with." I pouted.

"I know baby, but I had to take care of urgent things here, but I promise I will make it up to you."

"I know how you can right now." I winked at him.

"Ooh I love how you think." he picked me up and carried me into our bedroom and he made it up to me in many ways.

The next morning I woke up, and again, Narvel was no where to be found, he left no note or anything. 'What is going on with him' I thought. I proceeded down to the kitchen and made myself some coffee while I tried to call Narvel, it just went to voicemail.

"Hi, you have reached Narvel Blackstock, please leave a message after the beep, and I will get back to you when I can." BEEP.

"Hey Narvel, it's me, I was just wondering where you had headed off to this early" I looked at the clock and it read 8:40. "Just call me back when you get a chance, love you." I hung up and sighed. I really missed him while I was gone, and I haven't seen much of him since I got back.

I was brought out of my thoughts by my doorbell ringing. I walked up to it and looked out to see Ronnie standing there looking upset.

I opened the door. "Hi Ron, are you ok?"

"Not really Reba, may I come in, I need to talk to you?"

"Yes, of course." I opened the door and let him in. I motioned to join me on the couch and we both sat down. "Is everything ok?"

"No, I mean yeah, no one is hurt or anything, at least not physically or anything."

"Then what's going on?"

He sighed. When I looked him in the eyes, I saw nothing but hurt in them. "Last night when I came home, I walked into my house and couldn't find Janine anywhere. I tried to call her but she didn't answer, I found it odd but just brushed it off. Well this morning I had an early meeting. It ended earlier then expected and I was going to surprise Janine, but when I came home, I found her in bed with someone else."

I gasped, looking at him in complete shock. He started to cry while looking down into his lap, I couldn't believe she would do this to him. He would never imaging doing something like this to her. They seemed so happy. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry, why would she do something like that?"

He shook his head. "Oh, that's not the worst part." I looked at him and motioned for him to continue. He looked up at me and said the words that have stuck with me for years, and still tear me apart. "She was in bed with Narvel."
