off
in her car and proceeded to get a traffic ticket two blocks away.
“Do you know how fast you were going, Miss?”
She looked up at the officer, tears
streaming down her face and sniffled, “No…”
“Fifteen miles over the posted speed limit,”
he answered curtly.
“I’m sorry,” she sobbed. “I’m just so
sorry.”
The cop spent the next ten minutes trying to
calm her down. It wasn’t until he threatened to call an ambulance
that she gained control of herself. “It’s a hundred dollar fine.
You can pay it via mail or show up at your assigned court date. My
suggestion,” he offered, “don’t drive when you are upset. It’s not
safe for you or the other drivers.”
Jenny nodded her head and started crying
again. The officer quickly walked to his car and drove off. She
stayed there a full hour, berating herself for betraying her
friend. Kelly was right, she was a backstabbing bitch.
Unfortunately, the conclusion Jenny came to by the end of that hour
was that if she had to do it again she wouldn’t change a thing. She
loved Dan and Ryan. Despite all the pain she caused Kelly,
being loved by both men was truly wonderful. If she was completely
honest, it was worth losing her friendship with Kelly.
I’m going to hell, she thought as she
turned on her car and headed back to work.
Jenny wasn’t planning to tell anyone about
her failed attempt to reconcile. Sadly, her ex best friend was not
as discreet. Dan called her in the afternoon. “I heard you tried to
smooth things over with Kelly.”
Jenny felt a large sob forming in her throat
and had to swallow it down. “Yeah, stupid I know.”
“I could have told you it wasn’t worth it,
Jenny. Why did you even try?”
“She’s my best friend,” Jenny whimpered.
“No, you thought she was your best friend.
Kelly is only friend to one - herself.”
“That’s not fair, Dan. We betrayed her, the
two people she trusted most in the world.”
“Jenny, I don’t know how much truth you can
handle, but trust me when I say that Kelly never cared for you as
much as you cared for her. She is a user. If you are beneficial to
her, she loves you. Once you lose your usefulness, you might as
well be dog meat.”
“How can you be so heartless?”
“I lived with her 24/7. I saw a whole
different side to her. I know how she thinks and what she says
behind people’s backs. It’s not worth repeating.”
“Then why did you stay with her for so
long?”
“The same reason you were best friends. When
Kelly loves you, it’s a very good feeling.”
“Do you still love her, Dan?” When he didn’t
answer right away she said, “It’s okay if you do, it only makes
sense.”
“No. After the things she said when we broke
up, I will never have feelings for that woman again. I really wish
you hadn’t contacted her.”
“Why? What did she say?”
“It’s not important. Just stay away from
her, for both our sakes.”
Jenny tried to push the incident out of her
mind and chose not to say anything to Ryan when she got home.
Instead, she focused on the sensual possibilities Saturday night
promised for the three of them. She was curious what Ryan wanted to
try in the bedroom, but he refused to tell her. However, he did
spend time trying to find her G-spot hoping to make her come like
she had at the hotel. Try as he might, Ryan couldn’t locate it and
she was no absolutely help. Jenny found it amusing that Dan seemed
to know her body better than she did.
For Saturday’s big event, Jenny took extra
time primping. She covered herself in lilac scented lotion and
picked out her prettiest satin bra and panty set. Jenny threw her
ancient bra in the trash. No more smiley faces for me.
She finished the look by creating soft
strands of black curls to frame her face. When she came out of the
bedroom, Ryan whistled. “You’ve never looked more beautiful,
Boo.”
She wrapped her arms around his waist and
kissed him lightly on the lips. “Love will do that to
