The Past - Erich Blunt

truth.

OMG two updates in one day, aren't you lucky? I genuinely wanted to write this chapter so bad, so here it is!

It is nearly 1 an and I am so tired so if there are any mistakes, I do apologise. I shall fix them in the morning.

Here is truth.

Erich was nearly home.

The journey was fuelled with excitement, he knew how important today was.

As he pulled up to his property, he couldn't help but feel unsettled. Surely it was just the nerves, or was it more?

He turned the key into the door and entered the house. His eyes had to adjust to what he saw.

Suitcases, boxes and clothes.

"Adele? Come on we need to go, it's nearly 3."

She turned the corner showing herself to him.

Her cheeks were pink and stained with tears, mascara was smeared across her face.

"The appointment was at two not 3."

Adele's voice was cold and unnerved, Erich had never seen her like this.

The realisation hit him that he had messed up. Guilt was spreading through his veins.

"I'm so sorry, fuck I thought it was -"

"You thought wrong."

Adele interrupted Erich.

Clearly concerned at Adele's sudden change in character, he went to get closer to her. Every step he took nearer to Adele, she moved farther away.

"S-So - "

He cleared his throat.

"- How did it go?"

Adele didn't speak.

She was fighting hard to not show any emotion. He wasn't going to be the reason for her tears.

"Did you think about me?"

A confused expression was plastered on Erich's face.

"What do you mean?"

"Answer the question."

Adele raised her voice.

"I don't know what you fucking mean Adele."

She scoffed at him and walked closer, she was centimetres away from Erich's face.

"Did you think about me while you fucked someone else?"

Erich turned pale.

How did she find out?

The question plagued his mind.

"I don't know what you mean."

Adele scoffed again.

"Liar."

Erich stood there, he had no clue what to say. He had been caught.

"One word of advice Erich - "

He looked at her in the eyes, he could see the pain that he had caused.

"- Use a fucking condom the next time you fuck one of your cheap whores - "
She was a force to be reckoned with.
