Second Chance: Love's Unexpected Return

Hayley

"Hmmn." I stretched my arms feeling lazy and sore, a good kind of sore.

"Morning beautiful." A strong arm was my banded round my waist. 

Wait a minute. I knew that voice, a little too well. 

Kyle! It was Kyle! What was Kyle doing in my room?

"Kyle!" I stood up from the bed like my house was on fire. I was fully awake now.

"Hayley, calm down." Kyle sat up with the duvet sliding down his chest barely covering his privates.

"What are you doing here?" I averted my eyes panicked and then screamed when I saw I was standing naked.

"Give me that." I dragged the duvet from him not caring if it exposed his privates. I'd rather it be him than me.

"Hayley.. you don't remember?" He didn't seem one inch intimidated by the fact that he was naked. Instead he lounged comfortable with his hands behind his head and a lazy smile in his face.

I wasn't having any of that smugness so I scrambled and picked his shirt from the floor throwing it over his pelvic region.

"Remember what? I don't care just leave." How did I get to this point? Sleeping with my babies daddy just six months after our separation?.

"You don't remember what happened." He said thoughtfully scratching at his five O' clock shadow.

"I.." 

I gasped as flashes of how I had shamelessly thrown myself at Kyle rushed to my mind. I should have learned by now that alcohol were never going to be friends due to the fact that I always get horny while I am drunk.

"Oh my gosh." My hands were at my mouth shaking terribly.

"Kyle, tell me you don't want this. That you don't feel this." Kyle had me against the wall with my thighs wrapped around his waist and me rubbing frantically against his erection.

"Hayley.." His voice was low.

"Shh, it's going to feel good like.. you know old times." I nibbled at his jaw then moved down to his neck.

I snapped out, not wanting to remember whatever had happened between us yesterday. It was bad enough seeing Kyle half naked already.

"What have you done? Why did you do this?" I yelled not able to hold myself.

"Hayley, calm down. I thought we both wanted it." He made to stand up but I held up my hand to stop him.

"Stay right there. Don't come close to me. How could you do this to me? You took advantage of me!" I felt like bursting into tears. Just when I thought I was finally getting over Kyle, he just has to set me back two paces backwards.

Kyle's eyebrows slammed down in rage as he stood up from the bed holding his shirt over his lower region.

"Now, Hayley you are not exactly innocent here. You seduced me, I tried being a gentleman but it's not exactly my fault that I am still attracted to you." He said angrily jerking up his briefs.

I gasped in infuriation. The nerve for him to try pin this on me.

"Then you should have tried harder. How could you do this? How could you do this to Simone, the woman you love?"

"Keep Simone out of this. This is between you and me." He pointed between the both of us.

I barely stopped myself from rolling my eyes. I shouldn't expect less from him, always defending his precious Simone. But it still hurts all the same.

The same Simone who was the reason why my husband and I were separated. Not that out marriage was ever a love match in the first place.

Simone and Kyle were college sweethearts and had wanted to get married after they graduated.

But Kyle's parents had been against the union, thereby arranging for me to get married to their son. 

And I have to say, out first year of marriage was like a battlefield. Kyle had resented me because I was keeping him away from his love. How pathetic.

"Get out." I was sick of doing this. Sick of going back and forth. This ends now.

"What?" 

"You heard me. This is just a one time thing." I pointed at the door. I was going to make sure it never happened ever again.

"Hayle.." 

"Mama." I froze as a tiny voice echoed from behind my bedroom door.

Shit it was Autumn, one of my twins. She was awake.

"Keep quiet." I hissed at Kyle.

"Mama, are you there?" Autumn called out in her baby squabble. She was just two, so her speech hasn't really cleared up yet.

"Yes baby, I am in here." I replied sweetly gesturing silently at Kyle to get dressed and hide in the bathroom.

I didn't want to confuse the kids. They sensed that something was wrong between me and their father due to the fact that he doesn't live with us anymore.

"Go." I mouthed to him.

The door handle jiggled as Autumn tried opening it. Thankfully Kyle sprang into action rushing to the bathroom.

"Okay mama. But the door is locked. Why is it locked?" Thanks to the universe that I had little sense to lock the door before Kyle and I went it pound town.

"It's because Mama is getting dressed." I managed to say throwing on a nightgown quickly and tying on my bathrobe.

Checking to see if Kyle was safely hidden, I unlocked the door to see my babies. Autumn was already joined by her brother Wynter who was rubbing at his eyes adorably.

"Good morning Mama." They greeted in unison.

"Morning my sweet pancakes. How was your night?" I bent down hugging them both tightly to myself.

"Fine Mama." Wynter replied.

"What about you?" I asked Autumn, who had a strange expression on her face. 

"I still have that nightmare Mama." 

"Oh my sweet pancake." I hugged her again. 

She had been having the same nightmare on repeat. I shouldn't have let her watch Snow white.

She said in dream, Snow White always ends her dying, poisoned by the evil queen.

"Autumn sorry." Wynter joined in the hug comforting his sister.

"Do you know what would make it better?" I tried cheering her up.

"What?" Their eyes lightened in excitement.

"Pancakes!" I shouted.

"Yeah!!" They pretty loved pancakes but I made sure to always feed balanced diet.

"Now let's go but not without brushing our teeth first." They giggled as I chased after them.

Kyle better had sneaked out of the house while I keep the children distracted.
