For the past couple weeks things had been great. We took the chance and went out by ourselves just to see if anything strange would've happened but it didn't. Of course we we're being heavily watched so if anything did happened we wouldn't be hurt or maybe but I insisted on taking the chance because that's how I would really felt persuaded that this was truly over. We didn't make it obvious that we were guarded. The guards weren't there, but they were close.

We went out a few times that way and nothing happened. Even though it was just a couple of weeks, but I felt more and more comfortable each day.

I visited Monique a few times alone even though Michael wasn't too comfortable with it. But if someone is really out there waiting for the right time then we can't make it look as if we still think that someone is out there. They wouldn't attach. And that was what I really wanted so we could get it over with.

I made sure to avoid the office because I don't think I'm ready to even look at Jennifer. However, I told Michael about the things she said and his only reply was 'hm interesting'. I didn't prolong it because I'm sure it would've ended up in an argument. I barely spoke to the guys. I'm still a bit upset. What they did was wrong.. and right simultaneously, but I couldn't helped myself from being heavily upset. Honestly though I was glad that it was all fake. It really thought me a lesson.

Leon was the only one who really begged me to spoke to him. He was the first person I spoke to. I had a soft spot for him.

He and Monique seem better now but...

"What happened with you and Leon? You guys seemed distant". I couldn't help it.

She looked at me then back at Daniel, who's pampers she added baby powder to. Oh I love that name. I visited because I wanted to help her with him while I myself catched the practice of catering for a baby. How to put on pamper etc etc. But I went to prenatal classes. I was a bit frightened by it all but I loved it at the same time.

"Sometimes I get this off feeling. That's all". I scrunched my eyebrows.

"What you think he's cheating? You know he'll never do that". Now at least. She left the pamper under the baby butt. She rest both hands on her hips.

"What makes you think you know him so much Akeilia". The smile faded from my lips. I should've kept my mouth shut.

"He did it once he can do it again". She gave me attitude.

"He was drunk Monique". I highlighted.

"You should focus on your marriage and leave mine alone. I'm old enough to handle my own business". She sighed and went back to nurture cooing Daniel.

She better not get involved in anymore situations with Michael and I. I didn't deserve that treatment. I was only trying to make her feel better.

"Leon and I are fine. Relationships don't always have perfect moments. I'm sure you know that. You probably don't know because you have a better man than I do. When you cuss Michael he kisses you and try to shut you up. But Leon just ignores me". Oh so she was jealous of my relationship with Michael? Unbelievable.

"Don't say that Monique. There are men out there who'd hit his woman if she gets miserable. At least Leon isn't one of them. You should be grateful". I can't believe she was jealous of Michael and I. When we were at each other's heads in the past she was the one who wanted us to break it off so why the jealousy?

One little problem in her relationship and she went bad minded on me? Damn.

"Yeah your right.. besides that he really is a good husband and a great father. I'm sorry Akeilia. Don't take it personal". I guess jealousy comes naturally. It just left to how you deal with it. Hell yeah I took it personal. I would've said it out loud but I didn't wanna contribute to her stress. She didn't contribute to mine.

"We're supposed to be here for each other. I don't think you should find me being inquisitive. It hurts". I lay my hand over my heart and gave a pretend hurt face.

"I think I forgot for a second that your very observant and also my best friend. Again I'm sorry again ok?"

"I know how you can be Monique. Don't stress Leon out". She nodded her head and took Daniel up after finishing him up. If she felt a headache, Sometimes she cuss Leon. Sometimes she argued about things she didn't have to. I felt sorry for Leon sometimes, so of course he'd be stressed.

"Yeah. I'm just so moody sometimes". Damn right.

"Maybe is some good sex you need". She laughed out loud.

"I believe your right. It's been a while. I'll have to wait two months later before I do it. Honestly that's part of why I'm miserable. The thought of Leon cheating on me lingers in my mind. Michael had a woman doing him in his office what if Leon did the same?" I stopped myself from widening my eyes.

"Monique I can't tell you if that's what going on. But Leon isn't that type of person. I don't think you should feel insecure". I lied. Leon would've probably cheat if he was lack of sex, but 2 months wouldn't kill him. But I just didn't believe he would've done it.

"But I already am. Look at me. Look at my belly. It's not as flat as it use to. There are plenty petite women out there admiring him everyday. What if he's now more attracted to them?" I smiled.

"What's so funny? I'm frustrated here and you find it funny?"

"No I was just thinking about what I'm going to do after I dropped this baby, if Michael started acting funny". Even though I highly doubt he would. But I had to make my friend felt good. She was there in my times of need.

"Have you tried going down on him?" A curious expression formed on her face.

"Well..I thought about it. But I haven't".

"Don't you think it'll be better if you...You know? Suck it". She smiled and sat, patted Daniel on his back. He was quiet. His eyes wide open. I wondered if he loved to eavesdrop like his father? I smiled to myself at the thought.

"Stop making him angry because of your insecurities. Men won't argue for long. They prefer to walk away and go have a drink at a bar and that's not good. You and I know what happened the last time he did that". I looked away from her.

"Michael opened up to me and told me that after we thought that Leon was dead he went to a bar and drank himself drunk. He almost slept with a slut filled with virus. Why? Because he was depressed. They drink when they're stressed and do stupid things when they're drunk. I don't want you to say if you knew furthermore, when it's too late because of you. Put Daniel to bed early tonight and call Leon. You'll know what to do next". She inhaled deeply, looked up then exhaled then looked at me.

"Thank you for being a good friend. You reminded me of me 5 years ago".

"What are friends for". I was more certain that I wouldn't ended up in Monique's situation. Michael and I went through many hard times. He would've died for me but I disappointed him a few times, yet he's still here. So let's say we've been through a lot. Michael already experienced many women yet his heart and mind and soul was still on me and here we are. Monique and Leon hadn't been through much other than when they both screwed other people and wasn't happy with it. They didn't cheat. They we're temporary separated. Other than that just minors that could easily be resolved. I'm not saying that they didn't went through a lot. I'm just saying Michael and I went through a lot more.

"Besides if he's in love with another you'll have to know. They just can't help it. I believe at the moment he's just upset. Trust me". That's the wonderful smile I love to see.

"I trust you. I'll make tonight the best night of his life". I nodded with satisfaction.

I smiled outside, but deep inside I knew what was really going on. No I didn't knew that Leon cheated, but I am sure of something else.
