SIXTY SIX
“I’m asking you, Eu, did you meet with Kyla secretly?”
“No.” He looked at me straight so I rested deeply.
“I believe you,” I said and think that Hunter was lying.
“You should,” he replied when his cellphone suddenly beeped. He read the message and then he went to the closet and got dressed.
“Are you leaving?” I asked when I noticed that he changed.
“I’ll be right back.”
“But—–” Eugene ignored me and continued to walk out the door.
Curiosity arises from me who texted him and why he goes.
Who is that and why he’s in hurry?
I changed my dress and immediately went down to follow Eugene. I waited for him to leave first because I didn’t want him to see me following him.
I opened my Viber and checked Eugene’s location. While on my way he’s radar stopped at Almias Restaurant. So, I went straight there. In the distance, I saw Eu’s car. I parked my car a little farther from his. But I didn’t have to go down because from here in my seat I saw Kyla kissing Eugene while Eu was just standing there.
Damn, so Hunter is right.
Eugene and Kyla meet secretly.
Fuck you Eugene.
I couldn’t wait for Eu to leave so I leave first. Out of resentment, I went to RedSea to get drunk. I don’t know what I feel right now and I want to drink.
I DON’T KNOW how many bottles of wine I’ve drunk. I want to get drunk cause I want to forget what I saw. I want to sink myself in alcohol. I have no plans to go home tonight. Ulysses is safe because nana is there. I will spend my night here in the club.
“Máam, do you have anyone with you?” I heard the bartender’s question.
“Nothing,” I replied while drinking alcohol. “Another shot,” I ask for another shot.
“Maám, it’s not allowed from the management un-accompanied customers to get too drunk.
It’s for your security,” the bartender explained.
“Fuck you. The hell you care. Give me some wine!” I shouted.
“Maám, I’m really sorry.” I pushed the glasses in front of me and it started to grab the attention until security came and stopped me.
“You’re drunk madam,” the bartender added.
“Please relax madam,” said a bouncer and approached me.
“Don’t touch me. Do you know who I am? I can close this fucking bar!”
“Ley!” shout of a familiar voice. “Don’t touch her.” He commands the bouncers and supports me. “I can take her.”
It’s Hunter and he comes closer to me.
“Sir, do you know here?” the bartender asked him.
“Then asked her?” Hunter replied. But instead of minding them, I cried while holding Hunter.
“You’re fucking right, Hunter. They’ve met and I saw them kissing.” I cried and I feel him hug me.
“All right sir, you can take her home.” I heard the bartender say to Hunter.
Hunter led me and carried me out of the bar. I just follow him outside.
“Are you ok?” Hunter asked me.
“Why Hunter, why did he do this to me?” I tried to be a good wife. I did my best. I don’t know why he did this to me. It’s not a big deal for me if Eugene leaves me. But at least he tells me so we can separate in a nice way.
He shouldn’t hide from me and Kyla will secretly laugh at me again.
“I’m sorry Ley. Maybe it’s because of what I told you earlier. It’s not my intention to hurt you.”
“Nah! It’s not because of what you said, but because I saw them. I saw Kyla kiss Eugene, he betrayed me.”
“Ley,”
“Aren’t you affected, Kyla is your wife.”
“I don’t care about her,” he replied. “If it’s not because of this business I won’t marry her.”
“Hunter, I still love you.”
“Your drunk, Ley. I will take you home,” he barely answered.
“You said you love me?”
“This is not the right time to talk about that, you’re drunk,”
“Make love with me.” I am fucking serious about what I said. I missed him and if he really loves me, maybe we can do it in a way we can. And I admit that I miss him so much and the way we both reached the pleasure.
“No, let’s —–” I didn’t let Hunter talk.
I grabbed his collar and kissed him. At first, he refused but I also felt his touch on my waist so I clung to his neck.
Our kiss became rough and I feel his hand on my back.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“Ley,” a man softly called me from behind me so Hunter let go of me.
I saw Eugene standing with his fist clenched. I smiled at him then hugged Hunter before I completely lost consciousness
I slowly got up while holding my head. “Argh!” I feel my head wants to crack because of the pain.
“Mommy,” I look at Uly who is now standing in front of me. “Are you ok? I help dada to cook breakfast for you.” Eugene was standing behind my baby.
What happened last night gradually sank into my brain.
Fuck!
What have I done?
“Baby, can you leave mommy for a while,” Eugene said. “She needs to take a rest.” Uly nodded then climbed on the bed and kissed me on the forehead.
“Get well soon, mommy.” I nodded at him then kissed him on the forehead then he left with nana.
I ignored Eugene so he was the first to speak.
“What happened last night, Ley?” he asked but I did not answer him. “Ley,” he seconded.
“I saw you and Kyla. She kissed You and You lied to me,” I answer and started to cry. “Why Eu? I asked you if it was true that you met but you said no.”
“Ley,”
“You lied to me because of her! You know our issue, don’t you?”
“Ley, please,”
“Why?!”
“Yes, I lied, for your own protection, Ley. For you and Uly. Whatever I’m doing is for both of you.” He barely said.
“Stop protecting us. I can protect myself and Uly.”
“Because of Hunter? he, still isn’t?”
“We’ve just met accidentally last night.”
“Fuck!” I heard him punching the table.
“It is because of you. I have been faithful to you even though you know I don’t love you but I forced myself to be a good wife to you. I want us to be happy so I avoided Hunter, because of you. Because I knew in myself that once I got close to him I couldn’t control myself. I stayed at home and focus on you and Uly. But what did you do to me? You betrayed me. You hurt me not only our relationship as a couple, even our friendship.”
I couldn’t stop myself from criticizing Eugene for what I saw.
“It’s a kiss Eugene, but I feel betrayed. My husband met the person I hated who ruined my life back then. Not only did they meet but they kissed. What do you think I will feel? You saw it last night didn’t you? If you don’t come you already know what will happen to us,”
“Stop!” he shouted.
“Yes, I still love him!”
“Stop!”
“I still love him, Eu, I still love Hunter until now!” I shouted. “Maybe we ended up in bed if you didn’t come. Because I love him! I still love him! But I’m trying to fight this fucking because of you. I want to turn my feelings to you. If you hadn’t left last night, I wouldn’t follow you, I hadn’t seen what Kyla did. I will not get drunk and—-”
“Stop! Fuckkk!” Almost all the fragile items in the room were broken. “Fuckkk!” Then he sat on the floor while holding his head.
“I’m sorry Eu, but I blame you for what happened last night.”
“Do you still love him, despite everything he did to you?” he asked as he bowed and I know he is crying.
“Yes,” I replied. This is not the time to lie and gossip. So, better I will admit to him what my hearts really feel.
“How about me, have I ever entered your heart?” he asks while looking at me. “Did I Ley, do I have a space in your heart even a little?” he asks while his tears continue.
