JAYDEN POV
I felt a throbbing pain in my head. Ah I remember having a drink with the clients last night. I think I may have drank more than I expected.
I opened my eyes and looked around the room. I frowned. This isn't mine and Peggy's room. This is one of the guestrooms in Queen's. I looked at the other side of the bed and was shocked to see Amanda beside me.
What the fuck? What is she doing here? And what am I doing in this room? I looked at her from head to toe. Is she naked? Then I looked at myself, I'm just wearing my underwear. Shit!
She slowly opened her eyes and stood up to sit on the bed. And yes, she's naked. I turned around, I couldn't look at her.
"What happened? Why are you here?" I asked. I couldn't remember anything.
"You asked me to stay so I did." She said. I could sense that she was smiling.
"Amanda, did we -?" I couldn't even say the word sex. I felt nervous. My heart was pounding so fast while waiting for her answer.
"We did have sex. You were amazing!" She answered, lively.
No! What have I've done? Peggy and my son are here in this house. What if they find out?
"Amanda, can you leave? Peggy and my son are staying here, they might see you. I'm sorry but I couldn't remember anything. This should not happen again." I said in a cold voice. Then I stood up and took my clothes on so I could go out of the room.
I walked fast in the hallway towards our bedroom. I was nervous. This was the first time I feel restless after having sex with a woman. I didn't notice that Amanda followed me. She was still naked and was just covering her body with a blanket.
What the hell is wrong with her? Didn't she realize this isn't my house? I just told her that Peggy and my son were here. I looked at the hallway and no one seems awake yet. Just a few steps and it was already Caden's room. Then our bedroom.
I don't want him to wake up.
"I told you to leave!" I wanted to yell at her but I couldn't. I'm afraid someone might hear us.
"Jayden, what did I do? Why are you mad at me? You're the one who asked me to stay and started kissing me." She said.
I was surprised. I can't believe I could do that. I keep on trying to remember anything, but all that happened last night seems blurry. I've been sleeping with different women for the past three years but I have never slept with Amanda. I couldn't take advantage of her kindness. I would never sleep with her especially now that Peggy is back. I promised myself I wouldn't take any other woman but her.
"Amanda, this is not the right time to talk about this. Please leave. I'll talk to you later." Then I turned around and walked away again.
But then she suddenly hugged me from behind. I was about to say something when the door opened. I didn't realize we're already at Caden's doorstep.
"Daddy, who is that woman? Are you cheating on mommy?" Then he started crying.
"Caden!" Just my luck. My son just saw me being hugged by a naked woman. I held Amanda's hands away from me.
Caden ran inside and I saw Peggy. She was standing there, looking at me and Amanda. She crouched down at the crying Caden and whispered something. I didn't hear what she said. I couldn't say anything either. Then she walked towards the door, staring into my eyes.
"I can see you had a great night but next time, at least have the decency to respect me and my son." She said with gritted teeth. Then she looked at Amanda.
"Don't ever show off your relationship with Jayden to my son again, the next time it happens I will drag you downstairs and kick you out of this house. You could try to trample on my pride but don't you dare involve Caden again!" She yelled. This is the first time I saw her mad like this.
"P-Peggy, I can-"
"Don't. I perfectly understand. You don't need to explain anything to me." She said before closing the door.
Fuck! I screwed up again! I glared at Amanda and she was just looking at me. She wasn't like this. She was the sweet and conservative girl type. She was my friend.
"J-Jayden, I-I"
"Leave! Leave now!" I shouted.
I went to our bedroom and took a shower to cool my head. What should I do? Peggy and Caden were mad at me. How would I explain it to Caden? How could he trust me again?
I sat on the couch and rested my head on the back rest. I heard someone open it and saw Peggy. She wasn't looking at me. She walked inside the room quietly. It was so silent that it's almost deafening. I took a deep breath and mustered the courage to talk to her.
"Peggy, can you hear me out?" I asked, nervously.
"You don't have any responsibility to explain anything to me. But you have to explain to Caden." She answered, coldly.
"I still wanted to explain to you. So can you hear me out?" I asked again.
She then turned to me and crossed her arms to her chest.
"Fine. If you want to explain why the hell you brought that woman here and why the fuck you were flirting in the living room with her last night? Go ahead! Explain!" She yelled.
"You knew she was here? Why did you let her take me to the guest room? If you saw me drunk, why didn't you take me in our bedroom instead?" I asked, yelling back.
She laughed. "You're asking me why? You want to know why? She was about to leave but you held her hand and asked her to stay. You asked her Jayden, in front of me. Now, tell me. What should I do if you already chose her instead of me?"
