The One Night Stand
Aleta Cheating

Stella almost choked on hearing the statement from Kevin and Kara, there was jealousy in her heart.

Plus Noah looks very familiar with Kara, even idolizing her. Kara's YouTube channel watched it over and over again. At that time Stella was just shaking her head to see her son's behavior, but after knowing the reality of Kevin and Kara, there was a sense of disbelief in everything.

Jeff noticed the change in Stella's face, he grasped Stella's fingers to calm her down.

Stella says goodbye to the car for forgetting her phone left in the car. After Stella closes the door, Jeff catches up with her.

"What's wrong?" jeff asked Stella who was just sitting glued to the car seat.

Stella looked straight at him while calming her heart.

"Why is he again?"

"You mean?"

"Yes, he's the winner again." Stella was silent for a moment. Jeff calmly stroked Stella's hair gently.

"Josh used to prefer him over me and his son, and then you see, Noah idolized him. Now, Kevin's with her." Stella sobs.

"Then what am I to you?" Jeff touched Stella's chin and looked at her. For a long time they exchanged glances, then Stella fell in Jeff's arms while crying.

"I love you Stella, really! What do I have to prove to you to know how I feel about you? I really love you and Noah!"

Stella was sobbing at Jeff's words.

"I'm sorry Jeff. Maybe I'm being too selfish with my own feelings."

"You still love him?"

Stella is silent about Jeff's question, but is confused about her own feelings. He used to love Kevin, but after meeting Jeff, he could forget him. Kevin seemed to be just his obsession, because it was Stella's first love.

Jeff patiently stroked Stella's hair and waited for her answer. Stella looked at Jeff's shady eyes, not having the heart to leave this nice guy.

Stella kisses Jeff's lips slowly, Jeff replies gently, their desires churning for a moment.

"Do we need to go to the hotel alone and leave Noah to Claire and Kenny?" ask Jeff.

Stella nods and smiles spoiledly at Jeff.

Jeff then turns on his car and drives to the hotel to enjoy alone with Stella.

Claire sees Jeff's car go just shakes his head, he's already memorized by the behavior of Stella and Jeff.

Kara looks for Jeff and Stella from the window to the outside, but she does not find the two men.

"Where are Jeff and Stella?" ask Claire.

"They want both." Claire whispered to Kara while blinking one eye.

Kara smiled understanding Claire's intentions.

They enjoyed the dish while joking with each other.

"How's your job in Washington?" ask Kevin Kenny.

"Okay, next month I'm moving to NY" Kevin said.

"I'm going to San Francisco overseeing the hotels and restaurants there." Kara chimed.

"How long have you guys been in contact, Kara never told me?" ask Claire curious.

"We've actually been from the beginning of the last year, it just so happens that we live in the same city and where we are close together" Kevin replied as he looked at Kara.

"So you know about Jeff and Stella's relationship?" Kevin asked Kara.

"Yes, when he was in Washington. Jeff told me everything. Claire introduced him to Stella." replied Kara as she chewed on the cake.

"Have you ever met Josh's parents?" ask Claire to Kara.

"Not yet, what's up?"

"A few weeks ago they went to the hospital for a medical checkup, Josh's father had a heart attack. Jeff handled it." Claire tells.

"Yes, wayward grandfather, always underestimating health. When they visited us, Grandpa had a heart attack due to exhaustion. Not a vacation, but a hospital stay." Noah told me about Josh's parents.

"What is my papa's aunt?" asked Noah while sitting closer to Kara.

Kara kept silent, not knowing what to answer to the boy.

"We're all your papa friends." Kevin answered while shuffling Noah's hair.

"What does my papa look like, Om?" continues asking.

"Your father used to be the most handsome between me and Kenny, many girls were crazy about him when he was young. He's a captain of the school's soccer team.." Noah heard Kevin tell him with a look of admiration for Josh.

"But, why didn't he ever look for Mama and me?"

"Papa seeks you, yet you live far apart. Your father has to work to finance your needs here." Kenny helped to give an answer.

Noah begins to receive answers about Josh.

Kara was just speechless hearing their conversation about Josh, there was a pain tucked in her heart.

"Have you ever visited your grandfather in the village?" ask Claire.

"Often! Mama used to take me to Grandpa and Grandma's vacation there. Grandfather often took me to his shop, even I accompanied Grandpa looking for customer ordered items. I'm so happy!" Noah told me with passion.

Kevin, Kenny, Claire, and Kara realize that Noah is referring to Josh's family. Stella never introduced her parents to Noah because she had been kicked out by her father. Kara sympathizes with Stella for the rights, and begins to understand why Kevin is still being kind to Stella despite having rejected her love for him.

"You know the wheat field in the village where Grandpa Grandma lived?" kevin asked Noah, answered a nod by the 9-year-old boy quickly.

"It belongs to my family. My brother lives there named Brian, you can stop by there too." Kevin said with a smile.

"Uncle Brian's wife, my cousin. He's good at making donuts, muffins, and delicious cakes." Kara added.

"really?" noah asked in disbelief.

Kara and Kevin nodded together looking at the boy.

Soon Claire takes the children home because, Nina looks tired and sleepy.

Claire and Kenny say goodbye, not forgetting Kara brought food for Noah and Nina to enjoy at home later.

Now Kara and Kevin are sitting facing each other, looking at each other without saying a word.

They are not disturbed by visitors who come and go, shop employees are busy serving visitors, no one pays attention to Kara and Kevin.

"I've prepared everything for tomorrow. Morning flight." said Kara broke their silence.

"Yes, we're leaving together tomorrow."

"May we get through this."

"I trust you Kara. We can go through this together." Kevin clasped Kara's fingers.
