Mistakes
Bethany
It wasn’t really her mistake. At sixteen years old, her parents, along with Raiden’s parents, decided that they would make it so that if Raiden didn’t find his soul-mate. Which allowed him to get engaged by whatever time frame was presented to him, and there we a lot of circumstances that would apply that he would marry her. Raiden was a great guy and Bethany cared deeply for him, but she never loved him, not like that anyways.
“Bethany, date a little. You never get out.” Raiden sat at his usual table as Bethany poured his drink.
“I can’t date, Raiden. You go through women like there is no tomorrow. What happens if I fall in love and then poof you need to get engaged and have no one lined up?” she hissed. For the last several years they had been having the same conversation.
“I wouldn’t be a bad husband,” he teased. Bethany slapped him. “Ouch.”
“You’re an ass, but no, you wouldn’t make a bad husband. But if I’m your wife, I don’t want to be in love with someone else. I can’t do it, Raiden.”
“Okay Bethany, I get it. I promise, Bethany, I won’t let it come to that. If you find someone, I’ll find a way to make sure you’re free,” he sighed.
“Raiden, you deserve happiness,” Bethany said.
“We both do, Beth.” He smiled at her.
Bethany turned away. She had to get back to work. Raiden was right, of course, they both did deserve happiness. She just wasn’t sure that would be a reality. Marrying Raiden wouldn’t be a bad life, just not exactly what she wanted. She wanted be loved with so much passion that she wouldn’t be able to see straight. That was something her and Raiden would never have with each other. However, until he settled down, no one was getting in.
Jordan
He had been engaged not even a full week, yet tonight he wasn’t sharing the bed with her. He was sharing a bed with her mother. How did he allow this to happen?
He was alone. Tai was working, relatively speaking, he was happy, but his proposal was somewhat forced. He wasn’t sure if he wanted to marry Tai, but he was assured that they were meant to be. So he proposed. A knock at the door interrupted his trip to the buried depths of his heart as he searched for answers.
“Meredith?” What was Tai’s mom doing there? She had been visiting him a lot. They’ve been having a ton of conversations, ones that led him to
use the ring she gave hi
m
and propose to her daughter, but now he was confused.
“Up for some company?” She winked and slowly untied her long trench coat revealing that she was wearing nothing underneath.
Jordan blinked back his surprise as she entered his apartment. He was being pushed towards his bedroom. He tried to protest, but had no words. “I want you, Jordan, for one night. Before you commit to my daughter.” Jordan gulped. Was she being for real? But he didn’t stop her and willingly, he fell into bed with his fiancée’s mother.
“Fuck!” he hissed.
“What, Jordan? Tell me, Hun, what’s wrong?” She smiled sweetly. Jordan scrubbed his hands over his face.
“What are we doing, Meredith? You wanted me to propose to Tai. I did, and now this?” He was confused. How had he allowed for this? Sex with Tai’s mother, he was a moron, a fucking moron.
“It’s okay, Jordan. Tai won’t know. I know you love her, but she’ll be busy with wedding stuff. I can keep you warm till your wedding.” He was shocked, but he didn’t protest. He kissed her, and for the second time that night, had sex with Meredith Coretti, his fiancée’s mother.
