A new friend, Kyle

Jasmine's pov

I headed to the supermarket to get some toiletries, my mind preoccupied with thoughts of Liam. A guy approached me as i wandered around.

"Hello beautiful," he said with a charming smile. I raised my head and was stunned by his gorgeousness.

"Hi," I replied, his green eyes roamed all over my body and i felt self conscious. "My name is Kyle. What is yours?" He introduced himself.

"Jasmine," I replied and his face lit up. "Are you the Jasmine Reed? the queen bee of Royal high school?" He questioned.

"How did you know that?" I asked because i was surprised and he chuckled.

"We used to be in a science project together in school, briefly," he explained.

I tried to remember him but i couldn't. "I'm sorry for not remembering. It's been a while," I said with a smile.

"It's alright. I just moved back here and was hoping to reconnect with old friends," he said as he touched his hair nervously.

I flashed my wedding ring, hoping to deter any thoughts of flirting. "I'm married," I said with a smile.

"You are married, that's nice. I would love to meet your husband as well," he nodded.

We picked out the things we needed and paid at the counter. We had little conversation and he seem like a nice guy.

"So, this is where we part," he muttered sadly with a pout and i giggled.

"You can come to my house for dinner. My husband and i will be glad to have you," I offered, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Thank you so much for inviting me. Text me your address, i will come with a bottle of wine," he winked and i smiled.

"I will, take care Kyle," I waved him bye and entered my car. He watched me as i drove off and i was glad i made a new friend.

When i arrived home, i sent a text to the fashion designer about brand and texted Kyle our house address.

I prepared dinner and waited for Liam to come home. I heard footsteps as the door opened slowly.

"Liam!" I yelled and he froze. "Why are you sneaking in?" I asked as i walked closer to him.

His face was red and his eyes were on the floor. "Nothing," he mumbled and tried to walk away from me.

"What are you hiding?" I questioned as i pulled him back. My eyes roamed all over his body and I found a lipstick stain on his shirt.

"What's a lipstick stain doing on your shirt?" I asked him, trying to keep my cool.

"My receptionist fell and I helped her. I guess that's where the stain came from," he explained and i raised an eyebrow.

"And the hickeys on your neck are from her too?" I asked, laughing bitterly.

He couldn't say anything and tears stung my eyes. I thought he had changed after what happened last night, I guess I was wrong.

"I'm sorry, Jasmine," he apologized and I shook my head, wiping my tears this time.

"There's nothing to be sorry for. You cheated and that's fine. Go change, a friend is coming for dinner, " I said coldly.

He went upstairs and i slumped on the couch. He was just like Alex, he tried to have his way with me yesterday yet he had sex with someone else today.

Maybe I was wrong, i cannot make him love me. I should leave this place and go back to London.

The doorbell pulled me out of my thoughts, I straightened my clothes and placed a fake smile on my face as i opened the door for Kyle.

"Hi Jasmine, this is for you," he said with a wide smile on his face as he handed me a flower.

"Thank you so much," I appreciated his kind gesture and stepped back for him to come in.

He wore a black pants with a flower designed dress shirt. I love his fashion style.

"I have the table set already, my husband will be down in a few minutes," I said and we both settled on the dining table.

"This is really good," he said as he tasted the lasagna i prepared and the comment warmed my heart.

"What do you do for a living?" I asked and he rose his perfect eyebrows.

"It's written all over me, dear. I'm a fashion designer and a model," he replied with a chuckle.

"Awwn, that's cute. I'm planning on opening my clothing line. Maybe we can work together on it," I offered, he placed his hand on his chest with a smile.

"You are such a darling, Jasmine. I'm here for you anytime you need me," he said and I smiled.

Liam hasn't come downstairs and i was getting pissed. "Why is your husband not here yet?" He asked and i sighed.

"We had a fight earlier," I confessed and Kyle looked at me with pity. "I hope i wasn't the reason why you had a fight," he said and I shook my head.

"No, i think he cheated," I whispered to him, feeling the need to share my pain with someone.

He placed his hand on mine and gave me a comforting glance. "I'm so sorry, Jasmine. Just take things easy with yourself okay?" He consoled.

Tears rushed to my eyes as i thought about the whole situation again. "I tried so hard to make this marriage work but it keeps getting worse instead," I muttered admist tears.

He stood and pulled me up. I landed on his chest, he wrapped his arms around me in a warm hug. "Everything will be okay, just give him time and talk about it," he said.

I cried till I felt relieved. "Thank you," I muttered. I pulled away from him quickly when i felt Liam's presence behind me.

"What's going on here?" Liam demanded with a frown on his face. "Nothing," I replied, he crossed his arms on his chest not satisfied with my answer.

"Why are you hugging another man in my house?" He asked as his hands balled into fists.

"I'm just a friend, there's no need to worry," Kyle intervened. Liam grabbed kyle by his arm and walked him out of the house.

"You do know that the stunt you just pulled wasn't necessary," I said angrily and he scoffed.

"You dare say that? You brought a man into my house and was intimate with him. If you want to cheat, take it outside my house!" He yelled.

I didn't think twice before i raised my hand and slapt him on his cheek.
