Delilah;
I quickly gathered the papers from the floor and looked over them again. Seeing his signature on them so carelessly just like his whole demeanor. I put them in my bag and told my lawyer to give me a few days to review them again and headed home. He didn't give a shit about me. I knew we were over when he announced to everyone he was single. Everyone in the world had questions. Comments on the web from strangers flooded my social media.
"Kim Taehyung just announced he's single?"
"Isn't he married to Delilah Jamestown?"
"Wait isn't their divorce supposed to be final today?"
"One of my lawyer friends said she didn't even sign it yet and he signed it immediately, that is what the bitch gets,"
"Once a cheater always a cheater,"
"Rose is better,"
"I knew Delilah was my soulmate, I saw her in my dreams, she told me she was unhappy with him, I'm coming baby!"
"Goodbye Delitae hello Rae, sounds so much better,"
"You guys are so fucking rude!"
I slammed my laptop shut. Frustrated and over the whole ordeal. I wanted to scream. I grabbed my phone and called my best friend. "Lucia?" I question when she answered but didn't say anything. "I just found her address, he is with her right now, give me the word and I will knock both their asses out," she said. I started to laugh.
"Please don't," I said as I wiped a few tears.
"So how did the divorce meeting go?" She asked nonchalant. I bit on my nail, a habit for me when something made me uncomfortable, and shook my head. "He was all for signing the papers, he didn't even read it," I said sadden.
"Aaaannnndddd." She dragged out the words.
"And?" I said with a puzzle look on my face.
"And why does it sound like someone shitted in your cereal girl? She question.
"Because he didn't wanna fix this, he didn't wanna try, he just left and even defended that...that girl he slept with," I said, my voice breaking.
"That is how you expect him to act, you need to see him not as the Taehyung you once knew but Taehyung the man who left you," she said.
"You're right," I mumbled.
"Honey I will come over tonight, what kinda wine you want with your steak and lobster?" She asked.
"Lucia don't spend that much money on me," I said.
"Don't worry, you need this and I am coming," she said.
"Thanks Lucia," I said.
"Welcome babes, I love you" she said.
"I love you too,"
I hit end call on my phone, I sat it on the coffee table. To think this whole thing started with a letter, if I could go back I would have never sent it. I grabbed two wine glasses out of the cabinet. I open a bottle of recioto wine. It was our favorite to eat with a big piece of chocolate mousse cake. I poured my friend a glass. I grabbed the bottle and took it with me to the bathroom. I drew myself a bath and tossed in a rose and vanilla bath bomb. I undressed and lowered myself inside the tub.
Taking in a big gulp of wine I cried. This pain is unbearable. The betrayal. The home that isn't a home. I never wanted to move to this place. If it was up to me I would have moved to Japan or stayed in the States. I would have been in France somewhere with Lucia eating croissants and dishes she couldn't pronounced. But here I am in South Korea in a home in a rural area with no kids, a poodle, and a car.
I heard my phone ring from the living room but I didn't wanna answer it. I took another swig of the alcohol. The warmth from the wine and bath was comforting to me. I slid further down into the tub to be caressed in the feeling.
"Red or white?" I said as I smiled.
"Hmm, red," he said before he kissed my lips.
"Hmm passionate and sexy just like you,"
The couple kissed as they undress from their robes. It was their second year anniversary and they wanted to be alone for the evening. They had candles around the tub. Rose petals in the bubbly water. "Taehyung can you open the wine please and move this candle that is in front of our reach?" she said.
"Yes baby," he kissed her lips again as she lower herself in the tub. He removed the small tea candles so no one gets burnt and popped open the bottle before pouring two glasses and handing one to Delilah.
A knock on the front door disrupt my thoughts I quickly washed and got out of the tub. Dressing quickly in a robe. I sigh and walked to the front door to see who was interrupting my private time. "Who is it?" I said with attitude to let them know I was upset by their present.
"Wow, this how you treat your second bestie?" I heard Namjoon voice say.
I open the door and embraced him in a hug. "I brought Chinese," he said as he step inside still enclosed in my embrace. I let him go and closed the door behind him. "Now you know Lucia will kick your ass, she is coming over with steak and lobster and will not enjoy you bringing Chinese food," I scold.
"Oh please Lucia don't scare me," he said as he pulled out shrimp fried rice and general taos Chicken, Kung pao chicken and white rice for himself. He knew that was my favorite dish. "Oh that is not fair," I whined as he pointed chopsticks towards my direction. "Lucia going to share that food with me anyway," he smiled. His dimples always was my weakness. Maybe I should have cheated on Taehyung with him. He always treated me like a younger sister. He gave me security when Taehyung made me insecure but he was unfortunately happily married, going on ten years.
"So how have you been?" He asked as he jogged to the kitchen to grab a bowl.
"Well if half of bottle of sweet red wine and a bath doesn't indicate my state then I don't know what to tell you," I said.
"Delilah, you shouldn't be drinking like that," he said worried.
"Namjoon I am hurting, more than he knows and he don't even give a shit about me,"
Okay Baddies this is the end of chapter 3 I hope you enjoy it. ~TB
