"I miss you..." Gerard murmured in my ear, moving my longish hair away from my neck so he could kiss it.
"We shouldn't be doing this. We're married, Gee. You have a wife and a baby. I have a wife, and three babies. This is wrong..." I gasped as he bit down softly on my neck.
"They don't have to know..."
"It's wrong, Gerard." I turned to face him, his gorgeous hazel eyes capturing my attention. I subconciously reached up, and tangled my fingers in his soft orange-blonde hair.
"I know...I miss you, Frankie? Don't you miss me?"
"Of course I do...you know I do."
"Then kiss me." He whispered. I finally pressed my lips to his in a kiss, and he captured mine back, kissing me deep and passionate. My hands released his hair, and my arms wrapped around his neck. His hands slipped from my shoulders to rest on my waist. He continued to kiss me, and I could feel the electricity running down my spine from his touch. I pulled away after a few minutes.
"...I should go." I whispered, turning to leave. He grabbed my wrist.
"Don't go... Frankie, don't go. We'll think of something, I'll leave Lyn-Z. I'll let her keep Bandit, and only see her on weekends. You can leave Jamia, and do the same thing with your kids."
"I can't leave her, Gerard. I married her for a reason. I love her."
"Don't you love me?"
"Of course I do, Gee, but I married her. It's a vow I can't break. It's not in my nature. You had your chance, and then you married Lyn-Z."
"I do love Lyn-Z. I love you more."
"I'm sorry Gerard, but I'm not leaving Jamia. I'm not tearing apart my family."
Then I walked away.
~X.x.X~
As I lay in bed with Jamia a few months later, I thought back to that night. It'd taken awhile, but Gerard finally understood where I was coming from, and he'd forgiven me for not leaving her. We were best friends again, joined at the hip. When I glanced over at Jamia, and watched her sleep for a few minutes, I smiled. I knew I'd made the more logical decision, but...but what would have happened if I would have chosen to leave her and run off with Gerard?
It bothered me that I didn't know the answer.
