ANDREA POV
As soon as the waiter finished serving us, Rose began to talk .
“You know it’s been years since we have seen each other, why don’t we try to catch up”Rose said as she stared at the three of us
“Just eat !”Max Said as he kept on eating his food
” But that wouldn’t make it lively, we need to communicate with one another, after all this is like some sort of renuion”she said again and still none of us said any thing
“Fine then I will start, Are you two dating or what, you wouldn’t be seen out with some one you aren’t dating Jack, are we expected to hear wedding bell soon?”She asked
“Out of all the questions you could ask, why did you ask that?”Jack asked
“It’s simple, Andrea has been single all her life, I just want to know if she isn’t still pining for my husband”she asked starring at me
” I doubt that Rose, Andrea have moved on a long time ago, she just didn’t have the time to mingle, that is why she is still single until recently”Jack said this starring at Max
“What do you mean by until recently? Don’t tell me that Andrea is now dating you?”she asked
“Can’t you tell?”Jack asked pecking my hand
“That’s wonderful! It’s the best news have heard in a long time”She said hitting my arm
“You made a right choice Andrea,Jack is a nice guy, you should have chosen him in the past, maybe that might have saved you from the heart break Max caused”She added bitingly and Max dropped his cutlery in anger and sat back folding his arms
“Do you want us to talk about the past or should we just eat”He asked starring at us three
” Why don’t we do that! It’s best that we make it clear to each other now that it’s been sixteen years, sixteen good years and we have all moved on,no more going to the past”Rose said starring at me
“I agree with you on that Rose, we have to make things clear now, it’s been years and so no going back to the past “Jack added and gave Max a look
“What do you think Andrea, it’s been years as they have said, do you wish to forget the past just like they have said ?”Max asked starring at me
I stared at the three of them and they were all waiting for my answer.
“The past is now in the past, what we have to focus on now is the present, As you have said Rose, you are a mother now and you are married to Max, you should put your focus on your husband and your child, you don’t have to scared of my presence”I said and Rose gave me an angry glare
“And you too Max, you are married to Rose, I think you should devote your time to your wife,She won’t be like this if you are really doing your work”I said
“Excuse but I have to use the rest room!”I said getting up
“And what do you have to say about your self, I heard that you are also a mom, a woman who gives birth out of wedlock should be called a what? I think you should focus more on finding the father of your child, don’t you think so?”She said.
I walked off with out answering her and as soon as I got to the rest room, I took a deep breath.
Max doesn’t know that I have a child and Rose saying it carelessly like that will certainly spike up his interest,I just hope he doesn’t notice any thing.

ROSE POV
“Andrea has a child?” Max asked starring at me
“Why are you asking? Didn’t you know?”I asked
“If I knew I wouldn’t be asking you?”He said looking a bit angry
“It’s nothing to get all worked up about,Andrea child is my child, so forget it was ever Mentioned”Jack said
“I need to use the rest room too” I said as I left the two men at their seat
I have to talk to Andrea and make things clear to her.
I don’t want her close to Max and I won’t have her close to him.
For the past sixteen years Max haven’t looked my way and it’s all because of Andrea.
He never forgot her, there were times when I caught him starring at her picture, he would call out her name when never he is sleeping,he always made me feel less and each day I regret marrying him and I also try to hate me.
He has turned me into a bitter woman and he will have to live up with it because I won’t ever give him a divorce,now more than ever I won’t set him free, I will rather suffer and be a bitter woman than to see him happy with Andrea.
I got to the rest room to see Andrea standing in front of the mirror Starring at her self
“Did you come here to sulk?”I asked
“I should be asking you that?”she returned softly
“What do you mean?”
“It’s obvious that you and Max aren’t getting along, could it be that through the whole of sixteen years, he never made you happy”She asked having a smile on her face
“You don’t have to answer, it’s all written on your face, he never made you happy ,that is why you are still the bitter Rose, he chose you over me and he never made you happy, am glad that am not in your shoes”she said and walk past me.
Not wanting things to end that way, I went after her only to stop when I saw Jack by the door
“What do you want?”I yelled at him
“To give you a warning!”
“A warning? Don’t make me laugh”
“You won’t be laughing by the time we finish talking”he replied softly
“What do you want to say then?”I asked
“Stay away from Andrea and I ,if possible take Max and your son and return to the state ……”
“And if I don’t want to?”
“Then I will have to tell Max what happen between you and I just days before he and Andrea broke up years ago “He said
“You wouldn’t dare?”
“You never told Him and am sure that he will be very angry but Andrea wouldn’t care, it’s all in the past but I doubt if it will be the same with Max”
“You have been warned Rose, don’t get me angry,you won’t like the out come”he said and walk off.
I stood there feeling shocked, I thought he would have forgot that ghastly night years ago but he still seem to remember.
Each time I remember it, I hate my self for it, why had I let him do that? Why didn’t I just wait a few more days?
I regret it ever happen and for years have pushed it out of my mind, Jack talking about it today have made me remember and i feel disgusted.
I just hope that no one finds out, if I keep my distance then Jack won’t say a thing , it’s best that I do as he says, now more than ever, I have to be careful of Jack.

ANDREA POV
I got back to the table and I was surprised to see Max alone.
“Is it true?”Max asked starring at me
“What?”i asked feigning ignorance
“Do you really have a child?”he asked again
“Yes I do”I replied
“How old ?”
“Sixteen !”I said softly
“A girl or a boy?”He asked again
“A girl”I replied
“Is she perhaps……..perhaps is she……”
“She is not yours, so stop imagining things and just focus on your wife, you were able to start a new life with Rose, I did the same thing, I moved on with some one else and I had a child with him”I said softly
,”Then what about the kiss we shared, how will you explain that ?”he asked
“It meant nothing! I doubt it also meant some thing to you Max, I will be working with you but from today hence fourth and I hope you act professional cause I will be doing the same thing Sir!”I said
“But I…….”
“I went to the rest room in search of you”Jack said cutting him off
“Can we now! I have to get up early for work tomorrow”I said getting up
“Of course we can “Jack said picking up his jacket and with out a word to Max,I left the restaurant.
