I Kissed My Husband's Mistress

Alt Ending Pt 1

No. It's not a dream.

I glance over the planning. Flowers, chairs, food, everything was almost done. This woman is fantastic.

2 hours later

I've been staring at her for the past 2 hours. Admiring all her features, taking it all in again. We've been together for 2 years and yet I can still be mesmerised by her. And I think for the next few decades, I'll continue to be mesmerised by her.

The more I stare at her, the more that dread creeps up.

Ugh. I hate myself. I'm engaged to this woman. This unbelievable woman who helped me 'get rid' of my mom, who protected me from her, and I'm thinking of this guy. This awful guy. The guy who hurt her.

I know what you're thinking, "she did cheat on you"
but, I can understand why. She's been hurt before, and I guess the saying of "those who receive evil will do evil in return" or something, applies here.

I have to come clean right? Honesty is the best policy?

Yeah, I know what you're thinking, "she did lie to you once" but, I don't care I don't like to take revenge or whatever.

"Yeah...yeah.... ok..."

Then, she sits up and scares me out of my trance.

"Boy... that was a weird dream."

She shifts and combs through her hair.

"Hey Trish. Got the coffee?"

"In... in the fridge."

I point at the white box. She stands up, eyes on me as her body moved.

"You ok there?"

"Y-yeah...."

I have to tell her. I just have to.

"Viv?"

"Yeah?"

She back faces me, taking out a bowl and pouring some chips into it, siping her coffee.

"I bumped into.... into Joseph on the street."

Her shoulders tense, movements seizing at once. She turns around, leaning against the counter top.

"And?... Did he see the ring?"

"Yep. He even asked who it was. I didn't say anything though."

"Oh, yeah. I-I would've done the same. Let's get back to planning."

Here comes the bad part. Brace yourself.

"There is....another thing I need to tell you."

Again, she turns to face me.

"When I saw Joseph, I...I felt something."

I move my hands in the 'scooping' motion, pressing my lips tight together and looking at the floor.

"What... what are you telling me Trish?"

She tilts her head and gives me a confused and concerned look. I suck in air through clenched teeth, exhaling slowly.
