Chapter 10

I couldn't get my hands to stop trembling. What had I done? What kind of woman had sex with another man while she was on her honeymoon?

All I wanted to do was cry, but I had to pull myself together. I smoothed down my skirt, checked my blouse and just as I was about to put the key in the door, the suite door swung open and Kenny stood there with wide eyes.

“Jasmine!”

I couldn't help it: I burst into tears.

“Oh my God!” Kenny said, pulling me into his arms. “I thought you had left. I thought you had left me.”

“No, no!” I cried into his arms. “I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry!”

Somehow, Kenny pulled me into the suite and he closed the door behind us even though his arms stayed wrapped around me. We held onto each other in the living room, and then suddenly, I pulled back. Suppose he smelled Roman on me?

“Jasmine, I'm so sorry,” he said as he wiped a tear from my eye. “I had no idea that planning this--that staying here in Los Angeles--would make you so unhappy. Really, I thought this would be wonderful. I thought our honeymoon would be great and….”

I pressed my fingers against his lips, stopping him. “No,” I shook my head, “I'm the one who's sorry. I never should've acted this way.” Of course, Kenny had no idea what I was really apologizing for, but I meant what I said from the bottom of my heart. I was so sorry. I never should have been with Roman.

“I really should've been just grateful, baby. You were right. All that matters is that we're spending time together.”

For the first time in a while, Kenny grinned. I wanted to smile with him, but I couldn't because of all of the regret in my heart.

“So,” he began, “does this mean that we're going to have a fabulous honeymoon?”

I nodded, but when he reached for me again, I stepped back because I knew he wanted to seal his words with a kiss. And I couldn't kiss him. Not yet.

When he frowned, I kissed the tip of my fingers then once again, pressed my fingers against his lips. “We're going to have a wonderful honeymoon,” I said, trying to keep my voice from shaking. “But first, I have to…take a shower.”

His grin was back. “No you don't.” He chuckled. “I'm just as funky as you.”

I wanted to cry all over again, because there was no way he was stained the way I was. “I'd feel a whole lot better if I took a shower, Kenny.”

“Okay,” he said softly.

By the way he said that, I knew he could feel that something was wrong. But I was just as sure that he thought I was still unhappy about staying in L.A., and he wasn't going to push it. I'd just apologized, and my husband would do everything to keep the peace.
