CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

We talked for about thirty minutes before Alexis’ phone messenger alerted her again. She picked it up and read it quickly then turned the phone in my direction. It simply said:

Why doesn’t he love me like I love him?

It was a very simple question that had been ripping me apart for quite a while. I had no viable explanation other than out of respect for Shelby and how I would feel like I betrayed her memory. I love Jen with every fiber in my body, but could I really do what she wanted. Sometimes people did strange things that they had no explanation for. I was at a turning point in my life at this very moment. If I went through with this two things would happen whether I liked it or not. First, I would betray everything that Shelby and I had together. If Shelby were alive there would be no way in hell, she would ask me to sleep with her daughter.

Second, if I do this now what does it say to Alexis. Yes, Alexis is saying right now she is ok with it but what happens when it becomes reality. Then how does Jennifer and Alexis handle both relationships. If I am with one of them is the other jealous ? In my mind this was a no-win situation for me, and I had grown to care for Alexis deeply. I was not going to go down this road.

“Alexis, I simply cannot sleep with Jen. It will never happen. I do appreciate you possibly opening that door, but I can’t. I love Jennifer in a different way than I care for you. If you want me to talk to her I will ...

“You know Jace, deep down I was almost positive that you would not give in, but I wanted you to know that I did not want to hold you back. You just told me something that a woman goes a lifetime without hearing. That you are a good man that will not cross the line no matter what. Let me talk to her if it’s ok with you.”, Alexis requested.

“Sure, no problem.”, I answered, as Alexis got up and headed to Jennifer’s bedroom.

I laid back down and waited for the outcome of the conversation between the two of them. After an hour, I began to get a bit worried and sometime around that time I fell asleep. I woke up early the next morning around five thirty and looked at Alexis who was sleeping soundly. I got up as gently as I could and made my way to the kitchen to start a pot of coffee. I was on my second cup when Jen walked into the kitchen with a strange look on her face. She poured a cup of coffee then sat down at the small dining table across from the room from me. It was obvious that she had a lot of things on her mind. It took several minutes before she finally spoke up, breaking the tension that was in the air.

“Jace, I just want to say how sorry I am for what I have been putting you through. I never once considered the way you felt, I was only thinking of what I wanted. I’m never going to bring this up again and I hope we can go back to how things were before all of this.”, she said, tears running down her ...
