Chapter 6:

“Baby... Please don’t remember that. I came round your house a little while later to apologize to you, because I told Oritsé and he said I was really harsh on you, and I knew I was as soon as I left your house-” “But what did you do before you came, aye? You had sex...” She says bitterly “you got Claire straight into bed with you, and then came round-” “Look! It made me feel even worse after I slept with Claire okay, because I knew that I should have stopped, apologized and then left, instead of doing what I done... Okay... I’m sorry, please forgive me,” I whispered as she sniffles, but her eyes are casted over at the door.

“What do you want Claire?” I ask softly “when are you coming to bed?” She asks, but her voice is harsh which makes (Your name)’s eyes look down. Claire is extremely angry at (Your name) for being in our home, and ‘invading’ our personal space, “I’m not coming to bed tonight... I’ll be sleeping in this room... (Your name) needs my comfort,” I say softly, but I refuse to turn around, “so you’re just gonna cheat right in front of my nose!” Claire spits at me “ASTON NEVER CHEATS... HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT,” (Your name) suddenly screamed at Claire, as I was taken aback by the sudden outcry, “who gave you permission to talk?” Claire hisses “I did... You don’t control me, I have my own freedom,” (Your name) spites back “fine. Aston, coming to bed-” “I told you, I’m sleeping in here tonight to comfort (Your name),” I say softly, as I have now turned around and walked out the room.

Tonight had been horrendous, Claire had it all been thrown at her, so I planned in the morning that I’ll take Claire out to somewhere nice where we can settle things back down and make everything go back to normal.

“You okay?” I asked (Your name) quietly and softly, as she snuggled into me, but only nodded her head with no sound from her mouth, “sleep darling,” I whispered as she slowly closed her eyes, but I stayed awake and looked out the window.

This felt wrong as I was sleeping in the same bed with my best friend, while my wife is just in the next room. Although I thought this situation over in my head; I’m not having sex or anything like that with (Your name), I was giving her comfort as she’s had the worst night and day. I was doing my best friend a favour, and that’s all I could give her... There’s nothing wrong with that, is there?

Claire’s POV:

“Just coming honey,” I call down the stairs as Aston is taking me out on this bright sunny morning, but as I walk out my bedroom. (Your name) is sitting on the side of her bed facing the window... So I take the opportunity.

“Look Missy,” I start off straight away as I barge into her room, which startles her “I don’t like the fact you’re taking MY husband away from me... Just because you’re best friends doesn’t mean you can have him all to yourself. You’re not the one who married him! I don’t want you living here, you don’t belong here... You’re unwanted here,” I hiss at her before leaving her with herself to hopefully make herself realize that she isn’t wanted in this house!
Jasmine’s POV:

“SHE DID WHAT?” Fay screams down the phone to (Your name) as the girls had a sleepover at hers. Although, as Fay was on the phone, I was cooking the breakfast and Laura making us a brew, Ivy was still in bed... She was still upset from Claire having a go at her for no reason.

“ARRRGGGHHHH... I’M GONNA KILL HER,” Fay screams, as her conversation with (Your name) and slams the phone on the top of the breakfast bar, “what’s happened?” Laura asks; as she takes a sip out of her newly brew “Claire... She’s upset (Your name), so she’s gonna come round here to tell us something,” She sighs as she sits on one of the stools. “Did she tell you why she was upset?” I ask, “Err... nope... Just said she was coming over here,” Fay says as she looks up at me, but then back down to her brew.

“Hello sweetheart,” I say over to Ivy who was at the bottom of the stairs clutching her teddy bear, but the direction of my voice makes the two girls look round, although Laura gets up and walks over to Ivy and picks her up and sits her on the breakfast bar. “Did you say mummy was coming over?” She asks Fay in a small voice “yes I did baby... You miss mummy, don’t you?” Fay replies softly “yeah... Very much,” she frowns and looks like she was about to burst out crying, but I had to pull myself away to plate up the food.

Ivy hadn’t seen (Your name) in two days, and dearly misses her mum, although, today she’ll be able to see her again.

Later that morning, there was a knock on the door, and Ivy’s head couldn’t whip round fast enough to the door from the TV, before jumping off my lap and running over to the door. “MUMMY,” Ivy squealed as she opened the door and jumped on to (Your name) who was standing there and smiled greatly when she saw her child, “my baby... It’s good to have you back,” she whispered to her, but we could hear what she was saying. “Hello girls,” (Your name) greeted us with a warm embrace “how was she?” (Your name) asked us about Ivy, as though she had been in trouble. “She was perfect, didn’t do much as she missed you, didn’t you,” Fay giggles to Ivy as me and Laura stand and watch with smiles on our faces.

“From the phone conversation, Fay told us you wanted to tell us something,” Laura spoke up, after we all settled down. “Well, I’m staying out in America for a little while, ONLY for two weeks, but enough for me and Ivy to have a break,” “So basically a holiday for two?” Laura said “yeah, if you wanna put it in that way,” she giggles as we all smile “so when are you leaving?” “Err... Tonight actually, about eight ‘o’ clock,” “and when are you coming back?” I asked “err... Here’s the thing... I bought a house out there, and, in the two weeks for our holiday I’ll be sorting out all the information for the house, so... I won’t be coming back for a while,” she tells us softly, as me and the girls look like we have just been punched in the face.

“What, you can’t just leave us!” Fay exclaimed “I’m sorry, but it’s the best for both of us! Kevin is still after me and Claire doesn’t want me around Aston... She told me that before I came here,” (Your name) sighs heavily, “plus... The things that Kevin hadn’t took is already in the new house, and some of my things are going there today,” she added “what about the house that you AND Aston use to live in! You didn’t sell that did you?” I ask, shocked by all the new information to process “no, I still have that and I’m gonna keep that... there’s too many memories from that house to let go,” she says softly as the girls sigh with relief about the house which makes (Your name) giggle.

“So hold on... What about Ivy’s things? I take it they’re already out there too because you packed her with one bag and... If you two are going tonight, then... That explains the small bag,” I worked out before giggling as (Your name) smiled, “yep,” she replies.

Aston’s POV:

It wasn’t till about six ‘o’ clock that I and Claire stumbled into our house, lip to lip. “Mm Ast... You’re gonna... Be... A lucky... Boy tonight,” she mumbled between each kiss, as I grinned into it. Oh boy, I’m gonna get laid tonight!
Although, that was ruined by what I found out, which now has me standing on the other side of the breakfast bar from where Claire was and giving her the look of death, as she stands there and frowns.

“WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY TO (YOUR NAME),” I scream at her, as she frowns even more, “I’m sorry-” “JUST... Fucking tell me what you said, because she is no longer here! All her stuff is gone,” I hiss at her as she frowns, but I can see a small smile on her face. “You didn’t,” “what?” She panics “You told her to get out... Didn’t you?” I asked as she looked down “FOR FUCK SAKE,” I screamed, before running out the door to see if I could find her and bring her back.

I soon got to Fay’s house and banged on the door, but I could hear girl’s giggling behind the door and hopefully (Your name) will be in there, but as I glance at my watch, it’s half past seven.

“Oh... Hello Aston, can I help you?” Laura asks, but then Fay and Jasmine soon appear at the living room archway “yeah... Is (Your name) here?” I ask, but the girls look at each other and frown, “she’s left,” Jasmine whispers “what do you mean left?” I panic “she’s gone... She’s leaving the country, in... Half an hour,” Jasmine tells me “WHERE?” I panic and shout “America... She’s taken Ivy with her too,” “what? Why didn’t she tell me this?” “We don’t know, but if you go to the airport now, you may catch her... Gatwick,” Laura says to me as I smile and then run to my car.
