| I took a seat at a back booth and prayed he didn�t see me come in. But, of course he wouldn�t have. He had no idea I was here. I smiled at the waiter and took the drink he offered me. My eyes stayed on the man, never leaving him, to afraid too. He danced around with all the girls, loving the attention, I�m only sure. He would dance with one, or 3, whoever came up to dance with him. He didn�t turn anyone down. I frowned and tilted my head to one side. I fixed my hair into place and walked over to him. I smiled up at him and kissed his cheek. I winked at him and he smiled back. �Do you think you could spare one dance for a little lady?� �Of course.� �Dumb bastard, you have no idea who I am,� I thought to myself. I smiled once again and slowly started swaying my hips with the music. He placed his hands on my waist and danced with me. When the next song begun, he pulled me closer to his body and grind against me. �Aren�t you with someone?� �What she doesn�t know won�t hurt her.� �Bad way of thinking, isn�t it?� �Nah.� �And you�re not scared she won�t do something?� �Meaning?� �She won�t come up with someone to find out if you�re cheating on her?� �No. She�s not like that.� I stared into his once warm eyes and my hand felt the itch to slap him. �She�s not like that?� �No. She trusts me.� �I�m glad you�re so confident.� �Someone has to be.� �Don�t you love her?� �Yeah, sometimes, when she�s not being that overbearing bitch.� I raised my eyebrow and he just laughed. �Overbearing bitch?� �Yes. Sometimes. Sides, she�s not appealing anymore.� �Not appealing?� �No.� �She had your kids, and she�s not appealing?� �Brian, hey man, can I cut in?� AJ asked. I shook my head but Brian was already handing me over to AJ. �What the fuck do you think you�re doing Age?� �Theresa?� �Yes.� �What the fuck?� �Nothing. Go away.� �Woah, are you spying on Brian?� �Spying is not the word I would use.� �You know girl, you look damn good like that.� �I�m glad someone still sees me like that.� I glanced over at Brian and saw him dancing with another girl. She was kissing his neck and he looked like he was enjoying it. �Damn.� I quickly turned around and felt AJ put his arm around my shoulder. �I�m sorry Resa.� �Don�t be.� �Hey AJ, introduce us,� Howie said. I quickly turned around and flung myself in his arms. �Woah.� �Brian, Howard, Brian.� �What about him?� �That fuckin� son of a bitch. You fuckin� knew and couldn�t tell me.� �Theresa?� �Si, Howie.� He pulled away from me and groaned. He quickly pulled me back in his arms. �I�m sorry.� �Bull shit.� �I am. We�ve all talked to him, but it does no good.� �What would you do bro?� �Are you thinking of leaving him?� �I have no choice. I can�t stay with him. He would fuck me in a heart beat, and I don�t even look like his wife.� �I know, I know. AJ?� �You know what, I just want to leave, please?� �Going so soon?� I turned around and glanced at Brian. I slipped my wedding band off my finger and grabbed his hand. I dropped it in there and ran out the door. Brian opened his hand and glanced down at the ring. He shrunk up his nose, as if he didn�t understand. He quickly glanced at AJ and then at Howie. �Howie, please tell me that was not your sister?� �It was. What the fuck did I tell you when this all began?� �Howie, not now. Look at the girl�� �Fuck the girl Brian. You just hurt her more then you�ll ever know. And right now, she�s dumping you.� �But Howie�� �Don�t �but Howie� me Bri.� He shook his head and walked out the door. I sat down on the curb, watching the cars pass. I let the tears fall and heard someone sit down next to me. �I�m sorry sis.� I leaned my head on Howie�s shoulder and just stared off into space. �Don�t be. You could have stopped him, or said something to me. But, thanks to you, and all the rest of the guys, there�s no more perfect couple. Thanks for looking out for your younger sister Howie.� I got up and walked away from him, never looking back. I took a side street that would get me to my house faster and never once glanced back. I put the lock in my door and turned it. I glanced at my kids and they smiled. I walked away from them and upstairs. I took all my make up off and undid my hair. I looked at the leather skirt I was wearing and shook me head. I quickly tore it off and glanced at my top. The top that was revealing everything. I took that off and got into some street clothes. I put them in a bag along with some other stuff. I grabbed my purse and car keys and ran back down stairs. The kids looked at me and I glanced at them. I set the stuff down and walked over to them. �I want you to know that mommy loves you very much. And no matter what, she�ll always be here for you, okay?� �Mommy, what�s wrong?� my youngest daughter asked me. I glanced out the window and saw a car coming down the street. �Nothing baby.� I kissed her and quickly raced out to my car. I threw the stuff in and was about to climb in when I heard a car pull up. I glanced over at it and Kevin, AJ and Howie walked out. �Stay the fuck away. I no longer want anything to do with you, any of you.� |
