'I'm sitting in my office, thinking. I can't believe I had cheated in a relationship. It was inevitable though. I love my girlfriend, but she didn't even compare to the 'other woman'. This other woman made me smile in a way I hadn't smiled since my mother died. She brought into my world the proverbial 'Ray Of Sunshine.' I always wondered what I would do if I was ever unfaithful to a woman. I figured I'd tell her, and we'd make up. But that's not what I wanted here. I wanted to be with the 'other woman', I wanted to be with her more than I wanted oxygen to fill my lungs with life- giving air. It was no use working. Both of them were coming to my apartment tonight, my girlfriend had no idea I was about to break her heart. I feel like scum.
I can see only one of them now, the other would come into the office very soon. We had a lunch date, my girlfriend and I. I don't know why I agreed to it, I was just going to sit there, and think about *her*. The woman who had practically been under my nose forever, I was always just to blind to know it. Oh God what we were risking this afternoon. I know she feels bad, she is likely to feel worse than me, there are extenuating circumstances in her case. But we both knew it needed to be done now.
At 12.15 'the girlfriend' came into the office. She was surrounded by Ellenor and Jimmy, who had been on the same case as her. She was smiling an elated smile, she had obviously won the case. If only she knew, she was going to lose later on.
......................................................................
I have been waiting impatiently in my apartment for about 15 minutes. They were both late, I wanted the 'other woman' to come here first, I wanted to be able to talk freely with her, maybe even kiss her, hold her hand, y'know, all that stuff I was yearning to do. I was in luck, so it seemed, there was a knock at the door, and as I open it, I see my angel, standing there, she is smiling what seems to be a sad smile, her eyes are red, she has been crying. I feel awful for asking her to do this, but it really is what we both want.
I close the door behind her. She has not moved from my side and I reach out to her and hold her close. The warmth from her body send chills of delight down my spine. I kiss her tenderly, that was something that lacked with me and 'the girlfriend,' tenderness, and as soft as it was to admit it, that was something I needed.
The 'other woman' was a fabulous kisser, she never failed to make my heart race, and always seemed to leave me, breathlessly wishing for more. However, she went and placed herself in the corner of the couch, and remained still until there was another knock at the door.
In stepped 'the girlfriend,' still smiling her unknowing smile. She thought we'd be watching movies. That was the auspices under which I had gotten her here. She kissed me lightly, my skin crawled, I almost fled the apartment there and then, but my love for 'the other woman' kept my feet planted on the ground. 'The girlfriend' quickly notices the 'other woman' and smiles delightedly, they like each other, which made this even more difficult.
'The girlfriend' sits down on the couch, only one foot distance between her and the 'other woman.' I sit across from them, and watch as 'the girlfriend' tries to engage in friendly banter. The 'other woman' is somewhat unresponsive, and this alarms 'the girlfriend,' she now knows something is up.
She looks at us both questioningly. I slowly start to explain the situation, and watch as the questioning look turns into a furious one. 'The girlfriend' eyes dart accusingly from side to side, looking at us. The 'other woman' is crying hysterically, begging for forgiveness from her long time friend.
'The girlfriend' stands up, the deliberate motion silencing both me and the 'other woman.' She has something to say, I stare sadly up at her, she is hurt deeply, both me and her best friend, have just sandbagged her. She shouts loudly that 'she always suspected it was never over between me and the 'other woman' she was just sorry it has taken so long. She then proceeded to tell us then that she hated us, and to never speak to her again.
I then went on to tell her how difficult that would be, considering her standing within my firm. She turns with a scowl, and then heads over to the door. The 'other woman' stands and shouts desperately 'Helen!' But my now ex- girlfriend turns to the other woman and yells back 'Go to Hell Lindsay!' And in saying that, she leaves the apartment, slamming the door behind her. I walk over to Lindsay, the 'other woman' and the only woman for me. I wrap my arms tightly around her as she cries, moaning softly 'What have we done Bobby, what have we done.'
I cant reassure her, I don't know what the outcome of this event will be, I can't even tell her I am sorry, because I am not. As selfish as this may sound, I have Lindsay now, and of all the things in the whole world, and in my eyes, she is the only important thing in it.
