The Sinful Affair

Chapter 7

Anne groaned to herself as she stood in front of the mirror in her bedroom the next day. The art class started in an hour and she hadn't even decided on a damn thing to wear. Everything she had was just too bland. Too bland and too momish. Shaking her head she turned and left the room heading down to Zoe's room.

Knocking on the door as she opened it she looked at her sister who turned around on the bed, giving her a look. Blushing Anne looked down unable to meet Zoe's gaze. "C..can I borrow one of your outfits?" she asked stuttering slightly on her first word.

"You want to borrow one of my outfits?" Zoe asked as she stood from her bed and pulled Anne into the room closing the door behind her older sister. "You really want to borrow one of my outfits?" she asked wanting to make sure for certain that she had heard Anne right.

"I do," Anne confirmed as she felt her cheeks heat up more.

Zoe shook her head before walking to her closet and throwing it open. "What kind of outfit? Laid back or flirty?" she asked as she turned to face her sister and raised an eyebrow. "I am going to go with flirty because I think you want to impress a certain someone named Kobe Coleman."

Anne looked away from Zoe at her accusation of her wanting to impress him, "I don't want to impress him," she lied. A part of her did want to impress him and have him looking at her again. It kind of did still flatter her that she could turn guy's heads beside her husband.

"Don't lie to me," Zoe replied before pulling out a pink little sundress that had ruffles at the bottom. "This will get him to look at all the right places," she said before handing her sister the dress. "And here are some cute shoes to match," she said before bending down and grabbing a pair of white flip flips with rhinestones on them. "Maybe put up your hair too and put on some make-up."

Listening to Zoe, Anne felt her heart hammer in her chest. Put her hair up and make-up on. She hadn't put her hair up in any fancy way since marrying Tristan and she swore the last time she had worn make up had been the night she had gotten pregnant with Carl. She half suspected that was the reason Tristan hadn't been able to keep his hands off her.

"Right hair up and make-up on," Anne nodded as she turned to open the door and leave the room. Heading to the room she now occupied she knew she'd have to do all of this quickly. But she was good at quick that was how it felt she had been her whole life. She was quick and she wasn't new to this. She could do this. She could turn Kobe's head the same way she had turned heads before Tristan. It would just take her some time to get back on the bicycle again and remember how to ride it.

Watching Anne leave Zoe just shook her head before laughing softly, "She is looking for trouble," she muttered to herself before also leaving her room and heading downstairs.

"Aunt Zoey," John exclaimed as he ran over to his aunt when she came downstairs. "Is mommy ready to leave? I have something I want her to give to daddy," he said before producing a drawing from behind his back.

Zoe gave her nephew a smile before taking the drawing from him, "Not yet buddy but once she gets dressed she will be," she told him before looking over the drawing. "What is this buddy?"

"Our family," John answered as he pointed to the figures, "That's daddy and mommy and that's me and Carl."

"But whose the other person?" Zoe asked pointing to the figure beside Carl.

John grinned when his Aunt Zoey asked about that, "That's the baby sister I want mommy to have," he said as he locked eyes with his aunt. "Do you think mommy and daddy will give me a baby sister soon?"

Zoe forced a smile at John's words, "I think your mommy and daddy will give you a baby sister when the time is right," she nodded before looking up as she heard footsteps coming down the stairs. Seeing her sister when she reached the bottom her mouth dropped open. Anne looked stunning.

"Mommy," John said as he eyed his mother. "You look different."

Blushing again Anne laughed as she walked over to her oldest son, "A good different or a bad different?" she asked him as she bent down to his level.

"Good," John smiled as he put his hands on her cheek. "You look pretty."

"I am glad you think that," Anne told him as she pulled him into a hug and smiled. If her son thought she was pretty then maybe Kobe would think so as well.

Standing up she looked at Zoe who also stood up, "You ready?" she asked her before raising an eyebrow.

Zoe nodded, "Yeah I am ready," she said as she handed Anne the drawing from John. "Your son wants you to give that to his daddy," she spoke as she walked towards the door.

Looking down at the drawing in her hands Anne kept her eyebrow raised before following Zoe, "What is it?" she asked curiously as she sighed to herself. She didn't really want to see Tristan today but she guessed she could run the picture to him after class.

"Your family," Zoe replied back as if Anne should know. "You, Tristan,John, Carl and the baby sister John wants you and Tristan to give him."

At Zoe's last words Anne stopped in her tracks and examined the picture again looking at the figure beside who she assumed was Carl. John wanted another sibiling. He wanted a sister. A sister that she couldn't guarantee that he would get especially anytime soon.

But it wasn't that part that made her stop. It was the reality that Anne wanted another man besides her husband to look at her with lust. Anne wanted Kobe to want her and it was her son's innocent drawing that brought home the fact that she was a horrible wife for wanting that.

Kobe sighed to himself as the art class ended and he watched his students leave. Seeing Anne at the door he called her name out again much like he had yesterday and watching as she said something to the girls with her he watched as they left and she turned to face him. When she did he just let his eyes roam over her body.

She was wearing a dress today. A cute little sundress that hugged her curves in the right places and also stopped at just the right length on her legs. Legs that he had found himself staring at for far too long as she had been doing the work he had assigned.

"You know you are making this tempting on me," he finally spoke as he walked closer to where she was. Her hair was up in a ponytail except for her bangs which flattered her face just right. "I couldn't keep my eyes off you during class."

Anne felt herself blush and at his words any guilt she had with John's drawing had left her. She liked knowing she could make Kobe so tempted. She liked knowing she still had what it took to get a man to want her. "Is it bad that you couldn't keep your eyes off of me?" she asked trying to play innocent.

Kobe just shook his head no, "Not for me," he replied. "Maybe for your husband though," he said as he looked down at the ring still on her finger.

"My husband?" Anne asked as she too looked down at her wedding band.

"I'm going to end up kissing his wife if she keeps doing things to tempt me," Kobe told her honestly as he walked around her and shut the door. "I want to kiss you now but I don't know if you kiss before the first date."

Laughing Anne just shook her head but she didn't protest when he shut the door, "Who said there was even going to be a first date?" she teased as he walked back to where she stood once the door was shut.

"I did," Kobe nodded as he stopped in front of her. "Yesterday I said I wanted to take you on a date and I meant it."

At his words Anne chewed on her lip as she found herself locking eyes with him. It was funny what could happen once you knew someone liked you. Once the can of worms had been opened. "Then take me out on a date," she said remembering Zoe's words from last night. "Take me out on Sunday night," she nodded knowing she wouldn't have the kids then. She would be free to be with him without burdening her parents with her kids.

"Where?" Kobe asked her as he locked eyes with her. "I'll take you anywhere you want to go."

"There's this place not far from here. It's a bar but it's one of my favorites," Anne spoke as she remembered the place well. It was somewhere Tristan used to take her when they were dating. She had to sneak in then but each time had been worth it. "I can give you the address via a text and we can meet there," she said as she took her phone out of her purse and pulled up her contacts. "Just type your name and number in," she smiled before handing him her phone.

Taking the phone from Anne, Kobe typed his name as well as his number in before handing the phone to her, "And your husband won't wonder where you are sneaking off too?"

"My husband and I are separated at the moment," Anne answered knowing it was partly a lie. She and Tristan may not be in the same house at the moment but they hadn't decided on ending their marriage. In fact she had told him the other day that they'd be fine but that was before she knew Kobe liked her. That was before she found that she liked having a man who wasn't her husband interested in her.

Putting her phone away again she leaned into Kobe and kissed him on the cheek ever so softly before turning and opening the door to leave the classroom. As she walked outside she could feel her heart pounding in her chest again. She knew what she was doing was wrong. She had, had that reality check earlier tonight but that didn't mean she wanted to stop even if she was a horrible wife.

"f**k," she whispered to herself as she made it to her car and got in. She was thankful that Jessica had agreed to take Zoe home. She knew Zoe would wonder what Kobe had wanted and a part of her didn't want to tell Zoe that she had done like she said. She was letting Kobe take her on a date.

Starting her car up she pulled out of the parking space and eventually she left the community college, heading to the photography studio where she was sure Tristan still was. She was going to give him the drawing like John wanted her too. Anne just hoped she could face him with a straight face knowing that on Sunday she'd be letting another man take her out on a date.
