Second Chance: Love's Unexpected Return

Hayley"I can't believe you did the unthinkable! Sleeping with your soon to be ex husband?" Amber screeched through the phone.When she says it like that, it was really bad."I know I messed up big time. But you don't have to shout that loud, I'm at work." "Sorry Hayley but you should have known better." She chastised me. Amber was Anti Kyle now. She hardly even said his name."Yeah I should have. I don't know what got into me." I whined dropping my head on my desk."You know what got into you. Too much alcohol." I knew she wasn't still happy with me.That was true, I could hardly hold my alcohol. Got drunk easily so that why I always drink with friends."Yeah I should have called you to come get me." I apologized."You really need to be careful. What if a stranger had taken advantage of you? Like a creepy old nasty man or a serial killer? And then I will get to hear from the news that my best friend was murdered." Okay, Amber had a very over active imagination and I was already regr

HayleyAnd I couldn't be more grateful that today was Friday, #TGIF. Like for real, this week has been pretty crazy for me. Sleeping with Kyle, confronted by Simone and dinner with his mom? Super crazy.And now I was here chilling at a bar but not without Amber. And I had someone watching the kids. Tammy was a sweet teenage girl who lived not too far from out house."Why can't men just take a hint?" She moaned for the nth time downing a third margarita.The male bartender chuckled pouring us new sets of drinks."I would slow down on those drinks if I were you." I advised Amber who was pouting terribly."You would say that because you weren't the one left standing at her porch like a fool. Waiting for a man to kiss her."I couldn't help myself, I burst into laughter until I was silenced by a pointed glare from Amber."I am sorry I can't help it. It's just so funny." I apologized taking a sip from my glass."And what's so funny?" She questioned unsmiling. And I had to comport myself ag

Hayley "No way." I breathed out, shocked at the bomb that Amber had just dropped on me. "Yes way. This was the reaction I was dreading when I thought of telling you." She winced at the still befuddled expression on my face."Like seriously Amber. Dating the ex husband of your client?" I questioned in disbelief.Amber was a divorce attorney and apparently she just told me that her mysterious British man was one of her client's ex husband."I know. At least, they are divorced." She shrugged suggestively."Yeah it could be worse. I probably need something stronger after hearing all this." But sadly we were at a coffee house and on my lunch break."And we haven't gotten really intimate." She looked guilty. Of course, she knew that I was angry with her for keeping such a from me."Just save it Amber. I am your friend, your best friend at that and I will not sugarcoat anything for you." I paused to take a deep breath before going into details."I know." "This is a very terrible idea." I

KyleFor some reason I couldn't stop thinking about Hayley. Was it guilt or something else?But what?"Fuck." I rubbed the sore spot between my eyes grunting at the notification that popped on my screen.Simone: I know you are seeing my texts and you better the do yourself the favor of picking up your phone when I call.Simone has been on my neck, ever since she found out about my hook up with Hayley. Constantly nagging at me about the fact that I cheated on her with my soon to be ex wife.I admit that I made a mistake and I apologized frequently for it but she wouldn't just let it go even though I was still with her.The wistful feeling that went through me as I remembered the peaceful three years I spent with Hayley. She understood the terms and kept to boundaries.But I shook my head because I was not going to waste my time comparing two women."Simone, I just saw your text." I withheld the sigh that was about to flee my lips. I didn't want he"Seriously Kyle. You just saw my text!

KyleI stepped out of the elevator into the living room of my penthouse. After I moved out from the house I stayed with Hayley and the kids, I took a favor from a friend and got the penthouse as a temporary residence. It was closer to work and had a great view.Damn, I was so tired and I wanted to fall into bed so badly but first I need to get food from the kitchen."Welcome home babe." A sultry voice made me yelp in shock."Simone. What are you doing here?" She was sitting on the black couch shrouded in the shadows. I liked leaving the house in shadows when I wasn't around."Kyle. Obviously waiting for you, I got worried and came here. Where have you been? I've calling you nonstop and your phone was switched off."What was I thinking giving her the passkey to the elevator?"You know where I've been. We've talked about it this afternoon. I was with my kids and my phone was switched off." I shrugged off my suit jacket dropping it on the couch.I had purposely switched off my phone not
