**McKee POV: **
I woke up with a raging headache. Feeling something hard on my chest I look, and I see Bas's curly hair. Noticing we are both clothed I can guess we didn't have sex last night. I slowly get up to go to the bathroom and do my business. When I get back Bas is still asleep digging in my nightstand, I grab two pain pills and take them for my headache.
"Head hurts huh?", Bas asked in a sleepy voice.
"Yeah, hurting is an understatement", I said as I sit on the bed to run my fingers through her hair.
"Jason I am worried about you. You were shit-faced last night", she said with a worried look.
"It was either beat the shit out of John or drink it away. And I chose to drink it away", I said holding in my anger.
"Smart, but not smart. Jason, I don't want to lose you because of this please tell me you are okay with my engagement", she said pleadingly.
"You know I don't lie, Bas. I have never wanted anyone to be my wife but you, you know that", I said looking her in the eye.
"Jason, no matter who wife I am you will always have a place in my heart", she said as her phone goes off.
"I know Bas, but you know I always wanted a family with you", I said as she looks at her phone and takes a deep breath.
"I know Jason and I am sorry things happened like this. I have to go I will see you later", she said as she gets up to get dressed.
"Why did you stay last night", I asked as I grabbed her arm to stop her from going into the bathroom.
"Because I wanted to make sure you were all right", she says.
"Is that so", I whisper to her as I trap her between me and the wall.
"Yes, Jason", she says as I place my hand on her heart to feel how fast her heart is beating.
"You love me", I say more of a statement than a question.
"Yes, Jason, I love you and I always will", she said as I inch in to kiss her then her fucking phone goes off again.
"Let me guess that is John calling you", I say trying not to flip out.
"Yes, it's noon and I left him last night. I have to go Jason", I moved so she can go and get dressed.
I watch her as she gets dressed, her phone kept going off. John must be pissed that he woke up and she was gone. Once she is dressed, she looks at me, she seems so conflicted. I know she loves me and John. Hell, she is still in love with me I am not sure she is in love with John. She looks at me one more time before she left with a bye.
**John POV:**
Waking up to my alarm going off I notice Bastet is not in the bed. I call out for her, and she doesn't answer. I get up to do my morning routine the time I am done I noticed it is close to noon and she is still not back. Yesterday we celebrated our engagement with everyone.
During our lovemaking, she caught herself about to call me Jason. I was pissed off and the only thing I could do was fuck her harder. And now it is noon and she is nowhere to be found I call her but she doesn't answer. I pull out my phone to track her phone. What I see makes my blood boil she is at fucking McKee's house. The tracker tells me she has been there all night. I call her again, but she still doesn't answer.
It was about 1:15 pm when she finally came back to my house. She knows I have been calling her and she has not called me back or answered my call. I gave myself no time to calm down I am beyond furious.
I can't believe she left my house to go see fucking McKee. As I walk down the stairs, I got all kinds of shit going through my head. Did she fuck him? Did he convince her to change her mind about marrying me?
"BASTET WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN?!", I yell as soon as she made it into the foyer.
"John… I... I was", she said.
"GO HEAD TELL ME WHERE THE HELL YOU WERE!", I yell at her.
"Judging by your tone you know where I was", she said with glassy eyes.
"Why baby why.... why did you go to him?", I asked pleading for an explanation.
"John, I needed to make sure he was okay", she said while shedding tears.
"Bastet if you love him so much why did you accept my proposal", I asked confused.
"John, you know I love you, but J…. McKee and I have a history. I just wanted to make sure he was going okay about our engagement", she said crying this is the most vulnerable I have seen her. And it pains me to know that he is the cause of this. Bastet never shows her vulnerable side.
"Yes, you and McKee's history is the worst kept secret. He wasn't at the celebration so how did he know about the engagement?", I asked.
"I told him before we announced it to everyone. I just didn't want him to be caught off guard", she said as she broke down and cried. My heart ached for her.
"Bastet, we don't have to get married if I am not what you want", I blurted out. At this point, I will be dammed if I am married to a woman who sees the man, she loves every day that is not me.
"John I am sorry if I hurt you by going to check up on him. You do know I love you I promise it was innocent", she said crying into my arms.
"Did you have sex with him?", I asked and held my breath waiting for her to answer.
"No, I didn't have sex with him", she said as she stopped crying in my arms. I was happy she didn't have sex with him.
"Bastet if you don't want to get married, we can call off our engagement", I reluctantly said.
"No John I want to marry you I love you. What Jason and I had been over and done with. Yes, we still love each other but if we were meant to be, he would have asked me", she said, and I kissed her forehead.
We walked upstairs to my room she told me what happened when she got to McKee's house. I knew McKee would take the news hard but damn to get shit-faced drunk is a lot. Neither one of us mentioned that she almost called me Jason last night. We took a shower together no sex involved and got back in bed.
