Some people say the eyes are the windows to the soul. That if you look deep into someone's eyes, you can see everything they are feeling. They say that you can fall in love with someone with just a glance into their eyes, love at first sight they call it. I think used to think that was a bunch of bullshit, but then again things always seem to happen when you least expect it. My name is Ava, and this is my story.
Two years ago: July 2014
Honestly while I love my job, these little Rugrats are getting on my nerves. I know what you're thinking; Ava what the hell are you doing teaching in July, on your Birthday? Honestly, I have no clue. When Carol, the schools principal approached me about working summer school, it seemed like a no brainer at the time. That's right I Ava Michaels have no life, at the ripe old age of 24. Sad right? Thank god today was the last day of summer school.
"Alright guys, its almost time to clean up, now who can tell me one thing they are looking forward to when they get to second grade?"
A dozen sticky little hands rose into the air waving frantically. I couldn't help the grin at the sight.
Ah to be six again and not have a care in the world.
"Miss Michaels, what are you gonna do for the break, we have like a million years until school again!" Cody's excited blue eyes stared at me while he jumped up and down next to his seat. I don't know how the kid had so much energy after 8 hours school.
What do I say to that? Honestly when was the last time I did something interesting that included my own interests... Did I have any interests anymore?
"Well Cody, I have a lot of stuff to do to prepare for the students next year, so I don't think ill be doing anything to exciting. What are you going to be doing? How about we go around the room and talk about one thing we are excited to do this summer?"
For the next half hour as the kids talked about the fun things they were going to do, I got lost in my head. When was the last time I did anything fun? When was the last time I went out with friends? Even today I was probably going to go home and watch TV by myself since Grey, My Husband, was working late.
Grey and I had met in high-school and stayed together all through college and after. I loved him to death but things had gotten stale. I had hoped that things would change tonight, I was gonna dress up and make sure we had a good time at home.
And hopefully create some magic between the sheets.
Thankfully the next hour went quickly and I was able to make my way home without a hitch. Walking into my apartment I was momentarily distracted by my phone ringing, smiling and answering before my best friend magically appeared and killed me for not being quick enough.
"Hey love."
"Girl, what the hell took you so long I have major news!" The rushed voice of my friend made me smile. I had known Carter since Middle School, since before my 6'4" Marine best friend had come out and embraced his amazing self. If you tried to hide his personality now it would be impossible, he was amazingly himself and I admired him to a fault.
" Sorry honey I literally just walked through the door. What's so impor-"
The sound of a moan distracted me from what I was going to say next. My bedroom was cracked open and there was faint noises coming from our bathroom.
"Babe I'm gonna have to call you back, I promise ill be quick." without waiting for a reply I hung up and held my breath.
Maybe he came home for lunch and is just watching porn?
Yea that had to be it.
Still holding my breath I took note of the steam coming out of the bathroom door and pushed it open wider. All the air came rushing out of my mouth on a choked sob.
Grey, with his dick still deeply implanted in his assistant swung his head and froze. If I wasn't sobbing I would laugh at his Deer in Headlight impression.
"Ava wait its not- " I didn't wait to hear a reply. I simply grabbed my purse, took off my wedding rings and left.
Sending a quick text to Carter giving him the brief version of what just went down and waiting for his text telling me to come over, I left my life behind. Love was a myth if it felt like this and no one could change my mind.
