ARIA

I walk up and looked to my side to find an empty space. Groaning, I get up and drag myself to the kitchen where I hear voices.

"Babe." I call out and Lucas immediately pulls me into his arms.

"Slept well baby?" He softly kisses my forehead. My eyes dart to Bruce and smile when he winks at me.

"Yes." I say with a pout " but you left me."

" I'm so sorry my love, just came to grab some water." He says while kissing my cheeks.

"Will I have a chance with the beautiful lady of the house please?" Bruce taps on Lucas's shoulder with a huge grin spread across his face.

Lucas rolls his eyes before removing his arms from my waist so I can talk to Bruce who is so happy to see me for some reason.

"Is it your birthday?" I blurt out

They both look at me with questioning gazes.

"Nooo.." Bruce chuckles "why ask?" He takes my hands and kisses it on the back softly. He doesn't leg go and neither do I pull away.

"You're awfully happy today, thought maybe it's your birthday or something.." I shrug earning a chuckle from both sexy men.

"Oh no darling. I'm just glad to see your beautiful face." He whispers and pulls me gently towards him.

I'm hesitant and take a quick glance at Lucas to see that he's not fazed.

"Lucas and I were thinking of taking you out to the beach today, what do you say?" He stokes my cheek softly.

My breath hitches and I'm forced to look away to elude the urge of kissing his pink plump lips. Oh god..

"Aria.." he lifts my chin and my eyes land on his lips and they seem much closer now.

I take in a sharp breath and turn to Lucas and meet his neutral gaze.

"Uh yeah sure I would like that—

I suddenly got cut off by lips kissing me with my eyes still on Lucas but I got carried away with the amazing kiss that I almost forgot I had a husband.

"Bruce!" Finally finding strength I push him off and he stumbles back a little. Both men look at me with wide eyes then I realise I'm crying...

"Aria my love." Lucas tries to reach out to me but I push him off and run to the bathroom where I lock myself inside.

How can he kiss me in front of my husband, I bet he now thinks ill of me, that I'm not a wife material, just a cheap horny whore.

"Aria." Bruce's worried voice calls from the other side of the door.

I slide down and cry on the floor, thinking of what will become of me if Lucas decides to kick me out. Why did he do that to me? I hate him!

"Go away!!"

"Aria please, it's not what you're thinking.." he pleads desperately

"You've ruined my marriage. What more do you want? Lucas hates me now." I cry

"That's not true..Baby please open the door. Let's talk baby please.."

Baby? ..he has guts to even call me baby? His best friend's wife?

He starts banging at the door and forcing it open and it angers me.

Lucas doesn't even want to see me now. How comes he hasn't said anything about this? I'm done ....it's over.

"I hate you!" I shout with my hoarse voice and the noise suddenly dies down.

"You don't mean that." His voice lowers and sounds hurt?

"I hate you I hate you I hate you!"

"Aria—

"Go away!" I fall to the floor and cry when I receive no response. He's gone.

I'm alone now...

LUCAS

Earlier

" What's gotten you all gloomy this morning?" Bruce walks in and sits next to me.

"Nothing, just thinking." I shrug and chug down my water.

"You're worrying again , aren't you? Relax dude, she's head over heels in love with you. She won't leave." He pats my back and I shove him off.

"That's what you said about Mia ." The room goes quiet and I immediately regret bringing up that topic.

"Aria is not Mia , she won't leave and I'll prove it." He says positively and I can't help but fear the results..

"Yeah? And how are going to do that?"

Bruce opens his mouth to respond but gets interrupted by soft footsteps coming towards us.

"Babe." Aria walks in still wearing my t-shirt from last night with her beautiful sleepy eyes and a cute pout on her lips.

"Slept well baby?" My hands wrap around her waist and I hold her tightly close to me.

I don't want to lose my precious love.

"Yes." She frowns" but you left me."

"I'm so sorry my love, I just came to grab some water." I kiss her cheeks pink cheeks and manage to put a smile on her beautiful face.

"Will I have a chance with the beautiful lady of the house?" Bruce taps on my shoulder and I just pray that he doesn't do anything stupid.

But then he grabs her hand and kisses it...my heart stops but when I see her blush I manage to breath again.

"Is it your birthday today?" She curiously asks him, tilting her head to the side and I smirk when I see the love marks on her neck from last night. Oh god..I can't get enough of this woman...

Drifting away in my thoughts I watch Bruce pull Aria close to his body for her comfort and my fears resurface again. What is he doing? He'll ruin everything..

"Aria." He lifts her chin when she tries to look away..I can see the lust in her eyes but she shakes her head and averts her eyes towards me, making eye contact.

Her chest rises and falls rapidly, she's nervous and confused and possibly aroused and the sight is just beautiful with her lip tucked between her teeth.

"Uh yeah sure, I would like that— she's accepting our dinner proposal when Bruce makes his move on her. I gulp loudly and keep a straight face as I watch him kiss my wife passionately. She surprises me by kissing back and moan softly through it ,all  the while looking dead into my emotionless eyes.

But the moment is short lived as she soon pushes him off forcefully and tears roll down her gorgeous face.

Panic immediately washes over me when I reach out to her but she runs away...she ran away from me...from us.

"Fuck that's it." I sigh and angrily run my hands in my hair, thinking of how the hell I was going to stop her from leaving me.

"Don't worry Lucas, I got you. I'll fix this I promise." Bruce frowns and runs after her while I say and pace around the room anxiously.

He's taking too long and my heart thumps hard against my chest and I feel like I'm going to explode.

I run to the bathroom and find Bruce hitting the door to break it down when Aria's next words brings everything to a stop.

"I hate you!"

"You don't mean that ...

"Go away!" She screams and Bruce stumbles back with hurt and anger in his watery eyes.

"Hey she doesn't mean that.." he ignores me and just walks passed me to his room.

"She hates me man, I've screwed up. I'm sorry. Guess I'll just leave." He says and grabs his suitcase and starts shoving his clothes in hastily.

"You don't have to do this." I whisper

He ignores me and I go to check up on Aria. I knock and call but I receive no response. I panic and break the door off its hinges and finally walk in —

"FUCKING HELL.. BRUCE!!!"
