Jenna's POV
Few weeks have passed and I barely get to see Finn nor get to spend time with me.

He just came back from a business trip. But when he got home I couldn't help but feel that he didn't went to a business trip. When he got home that time I could smell a familiar smell.
But I decided to ignore it and let it go. Trying to win my husbands heart back.
"Jenna? Are you ok?" I heard a voice saying while shaking my whole body. Waking myself up from my own thoughts.

Turning to look at Justin. I just gave him a weak smile " Yeah I'm fine". Feeling the weariness and fatigue falling over me.

"Are you sure. You look like a zombie. Are you sure you don't want to get a sick leave?"

"No I'm really fine. I just gotta get something in my system" assuring him.

"Well I'm on my way to get lunch. Wanna go together?" I nodded and ask him to give me a few minutes to pack my stuff.

Just as I was packing my stuff I came across a picture of me and Finn. It was a picture if both of us showing our pearly white.

Weird as it seems we seem to love each other so much,until we're slowly slipping away from each other. I decided to take the photo out of the album and put it inside my drawer. Where it is hidden,maybe I'll take it out when I needed it.

"What will you have miss?" The waiter asked me. I just ordered an iced lemon tea and spaghetti. "Alright is that all" me and Justin nodded.

As the waiter walk away we slowly drift into conversations. Then suddenly I saw Finn coming in the restaurant with his sex buddy Melanie aka the secretary.

Feeling the anger inside of me boiling I just stayed quite the whole conversation. Justin realise it and asked me if I'm ok.

Just as I was about to reply "Hey honey" a familiar voice that I've heard for about 4 years.

I turn to face none other than Finn.
"Hey! We're just having lunch. I see that your having lunch with your secretary to eh?" I said while peeking at his side to see a petite redhead that's the same age as me,but if you compare between me and her she would win the award of being young while I would be the fat lady.

"Well we just finished meeting our client." When he was taking at me his eyes wasn't on me but on Justin the whole time. It seems like his jealous and trying to figure out who he is,not wanting to make it awkward I decided to introduce Justin to him.

"Oh how rude of me. Finn this is my boss Justin. Justin this is my husband Finn"

"Nice to meet you Finn. Let me tell you,your such a lucky person to have Jenna as a wife." Justin stood up giving Finn a firm handshake. If you look closely you could see electricity the way they look at each other.

I decided to stop this nonsense and broke the connection "Well I'll see you at home later honey. Lunch time is over Justin. Maybe we should go back to the office." Justin nodded and went to the counter to pay for the bills.

"Hey what was that all about?" Justin asked breaking the silence.

"What do you mean?" Looking at him while furrowing my eyebrows.

" The way you talk to your husband is like talking to a friend,actually a friend would be an understatement the perfect word for it is strangers." I know what he meant. I could feel it every single day ever since the incident. Both of us slowly slipping away.

"The reason we're like that is because my husband is cheating on me." I don't know why,but I feel like I should tell him.

"What!?!? Why are you still with him? Clearly you don't deserve this.Oh goodness is that why you haven't been getting enough rest?" Seeing how caring he is made me wish I met him earlier.

"To be honest. I don't know why I out myself thought this. I feel like maybe it's my fault. Maybe cause I'm just to ugly." just by saying those words Justin went to the side of the road.

He turn to look at me " Now you listen here. I may not have known you. But I can see that your a great person. Don't let your insecurities get the best of you."

Hearing someone say those words to me made me feel so special. "I know. but I don't know what else to do besides feeling sorry for myself. I've tried so hard to win his heart but it's ill everything I tried is useless." I put my head in my hand. Feeling all the emotion coming back.

"Hey it's ok. Don't worry. If you both were really meant to be I'm sure everything will workout ok." He said while slowly rubbing my back like comforting a baby.

" I don't know what to do. I'm scared of losing him I just couldn't bring myself to lose him. I love him so much." I could feel him moving and slowly I was greeted with a hug.

"There there. Just let it all out. Why don't you both sit down and talk this through ok." releasing me from his hug and wiping the tears on my cheek with his thumb. " Don't cry. Even though you look absolutely adorable,but still it's not good to cry." I started to laugh at his attempt of trying to make me feel better. " See,you look way better when you smile. Never ever cry again ok."

" Yes sir" I said while giving him a salute which cause both of us to laugh.
