Part 4 : Dinner, Adultery, Admission

Winston annoyed walked into Chez’s restaurant with Violet behind him. “Walk to far ahead of me and people will think we aren’t together” she whispered to him. “That’s the point we aren’t together. When I said to pick a place to eat I didn’t mean the most expensive place in town.” They walked up to the host to request a table. “How many?” the small framed host asked not looking up at them. “Just two” Winston responded.

They took their seats at a candlelit table. “I just want to get through this meal and go home. Some people have work tomorrow.” “You’re so cute when you fuss. Don’t order until I get back.” “Where are you going?” “What all ladies do on a date, freshen up”.

Trevor slightly gripped at the pills in his pocket knowing all too well what was going to happen after dinner. It must of showed in his face. “Everything ok with you?” Erica asked as they walked into Chez’s. “Yeah just thinking about what I need to do for work” he lied. Although he did have to give her some bad news about that. “Party of two” Erica spoke to the host.

He was so lost in thought that he didn’t remember even getting out the car. They sat down at a booth. “You sure it’s only about work? You seem someplace else tonight.” He held her hand. “I’m sorry, just so much going on. I also have something to tell you.” “Can it wait until after dinner if it’s bad news? I just want to enjoy our meal and forget our problems for a while.” He nodded in response swallowing the lie he was about to tell her.

Violet gave herself one last look over in the mirror to make sure everything was in place. Satisfied, she opened the door and began heading back toward Winston when she was stopped. Her eyes cut to the hand holding her arm before she looked up at the guy smiling down at her.

“Excuse me but hands off...I don’t know you” she snapped. They guy held his hands up. “You’re right. I’m sorry. Logan Yates” he held out his hand for her to shake. With hesitation she shook his hand. “Violet. What do you want I need to get back to my table.” “I saw you come in with some guy that looked not so happy to be with you.” “And?” “And if you were my date it would be a different story. You are very beautiful.” She crossed her arms. “I’m listening.” “ Is he your boyfriend or something?” “Maybe.” “Well when you figure it out and decide he’s not...give me a call.” Logan handed her a card with his name and contact information. Swiftly she took the card. “Nice to meet you Mr.Yates.” “The pleasure is all mines. How about dinner on me tonight?” “How so? I just told you I was with someone.” “Because, I am the owner you can tell your boyfriend to thank me later.” He gave her a quick smirk before walking away.

Erica tapped her hill onto the stone floor nervous about the news Trevor had to tell. What could it be? Putting the menu down not knowing what to order she felt eyes on her and looked round the room. If it wasn’t the sex bot himself. Winston. Of all the places he could have been he had to be just feet away from her eyeing her down. She met his gaze before he looked away at the woman taking a seat across from him. Instantly her blood began to boil with jealousy. Here she was trying to break away from him but he had so easily done it and on a date. Erica knew she shouldn’t be jealous but she was and didn’t like the situation at all. With quick hands she got her phone out of her purse to text him. - I see you got over me that easy huh?- she hit send and looked at him waiting for him to take out his phone.

Winston reached into his pocket and shook his head typing quickly into the phone. Watching him put the phone down she looked at hers a few seconds before the message could reach her. -You have nothing to worry about. She’s just a friend in need. Want to go for round 3 tonight?- Flustered she put her phone away just in time for Trevor to join her again from going to the bathroom. “I feel better you ready to order?” he asked oblivious to her indiscretions.

Winston thinking it was another message from Erica after hearing his phone buzz was disappointed. Cassidy. He couldn’t escape the girl. “Someone is pretty popular tonight” Violet said with her face in the menu. “I told you I have a lot going on right now. You know what you are getting?” “No, but so do I. The owner of the place just stopped me to ask me out on a date but it depends.” He laughed. “Are you really going to fall for the I’m the owner of the place line?” She cut eyes at him over her menu before putting it down. “He said that dinner would be free tonight so you’re welcome.” “I don’t know how you pull these guys in...myself included. Good luck for him.” “Why do you say that?” “He is going to need it with you.” She grew annoyed. “I don’t even know if I’m going to call him or not.” “Why not?” “When I told you I had somethings to get off my chest I wasn’t joking and it is about us.” “And I recall telling you not to tell me Vi….I have a baby on the way and I’m trying to get someone else back.” “She’s not pregnant.” Winston paused from her comment. “How would you know that?” “ I went to the bar for a drink and I saw her. Of course she didn’t see me but the woman was downing glasses of wine like it was water, so either she’s not pregnant or she is trying to hurt her baby. I pick the first option and besides being a nurse for so many years I can tell when a woman is pregnant and she didn’t seem like that when I met her. Crazy yeah but not pregnant.” He let the thought roll around in his head. “But she showed me a positive pregnancy test.” Violet laughed. “Anyone can pee on a test these days, hell you can even buy pregnant woman’s pee for a price. Did she pee on the stick in front of you?” “No.” “Problem solved….” After the remark his brain turned a deaf ear to what she was saying. If what Violet was saying were true then he would buy a test himself and have her come over to take it in front of him.

Later that night

Erica and Trevor walked in their home full from there steak dinner. Kicking off her shoes she collapsed on the couch in the living room with Trevor following. “Thank you for dinner tonight. I had fun” she said telling the truth. “Me too, we have to do it more often like we use to but you might not want to after what I tell you.” Here we go. “Tell me what?” “We won’t be able to move anytime soon.” “What?” “I know, I tried to get a transfer to the same investor company but my boss wants me here and on top of that nothing is available anyway. I tried everything but unless I quit there is nothing I can do. Even though I hate my job we need the money.” Erica was devastated. Just when she thought she was going to get a break. “I understand, but I was looking forward to moving. Maybe when you find something else we can.” Trevor got up to give her a kiss on the lips. “Thank you for understanding I needed that. Although we had a good night I must get going to take care of something at work.” Without a word she watched him grab his jacket and leave. Not knowing what to do somehow she ended up calling Winston.

Winston ignored his phone as he raced to Cassidy’s place but not before dropping Violet off and going to the store to pick up a pregnancy test. He was going to wait until tomorrow but it couldn’t wait. Pulling up in front her house he ran to the door banging on it. “Hold on!” she yelled from behind the door. “Who the hell is banging…” she stopped her rant when she saw it was Winston. “ Winston, what are you doing here?” “I need to come in.” Without a thought she opened the door to let him in closing it behind him. “You ready to work things out? Did Erica turn you down?” “No, and no. I want you to take this and pee on it in front of me.” He handed her the pregnancy test. Her attitude changed. “You don’t trust me all of a sudden? I’m not taking the test.” “If you want me around at all you will take this test right now...unless you have something to hide.” With a sigh she snatched the box from him. Walking as if she was going to go to the bathroom she stopped short putting the test down on the table just before the hallway. With her back to him she spoke softly. “I can’t hear you” “I’m not pregnant! You happy?”

Winston wasn’t surprised. “You almost had me and like a fool I played right into your hands. You really was going to fake a pregnancy to be with me. That’s a new low even for you Cassidy. So who peed on the stick or did you buy it?” “My friend, but I only did his because I love you. Love makes you do crazy things.” Winston wanted to hit her but hit the wall beside him instead. “Don’t ever come near me again. Not a drop by the house, or work, or wherever I am. I’m done with you for good.” Cassidy began to cry trying to hug him but he wouldn’t let her storming out of the house. As he sped away she dropped to the floor in tears not knowing what to do.

Kane rushed to the door after a few knocks already knowing who it would be. “Did you have a nice night with the wife?” he asked as he opened the door. “You don’t really care if I did or not.” Trevor walked in removing his jacket. “You’re right I don’t care but I missed you.” “You can stop with the act Kane I already told my wife that we weren’t moving until I can figure this out or us out.” “Or until you find a way to break up with her for me.” “I’m never leaving my wife Kane I just have to find your weakness.” Kane walked closer to him making them face to face. “To bad I already know yours” he whispered in his ear. Trevor swallowed in response. “You bring the ecstasy with you?” Trevor pulled the bag out of his pocket to show him. Kane took them from him and took one then placing the other in Trevor’s mouth. They both swallowed before becoming consumed by passion.

Erica laid on the couch wondering why Winston didn’t pick up her call. He always picked up or at least called her back. The thought of the woman she seen him with at dinner flooded her mind. Steam began to rise in her veins. Maybe he was doing what they do together with her tonight. She shook her head not wanting to think about it. As another dirty image danced in her head of them the doorbell ringed. Annoyed at whoever was at her door she swung it open to see Winston. Erica knew something bad happened by the look on his face. “Everything…” she tried to ask but he stepped to her kissing the question from her mouth. No words were needed. He was hurt and wanting comfort. Comfort only she knew she could give him. With their lips still locked he walked past the threshold and slammed the door behind him.
