Old Flames

Fallout

Maybe she could use the extra time tonight to freshen up and put on something sexy for Tyson. Why she had not tried to order her groceries for pick-up before she would never know but she could not be more happy about all of the time she was saving. She slid her key in the door and stopped. Her brow furrowed

Was that Tyson? She'd never heard him get this into his video games before. Was it because no one was home?

She unlocked the door and let swing open. She gasped and dropped the groceries in her hand at the sight of Maria on her knees in front of her man.

"What the fuck?!"

She watched horror fill Tyson's eyes while his hands went up gripped his hair.

"Oh shit! Babe, I-I'm so sorry!"

Maria looked surprised but got a sly smile on her face.

"Care to join us, baby."

"Are fucking kidding me?! I come home to find you fucking my man behind my back and you ask if I want to join?! Do you think you live in a porno?!"

Mindy pulled the groceries in and slammed the door while the other two adjusted their clothes.

"Babe, I'm so fucking sorry. This was seriously the first time. That probably doesn't make things better but I really still love y..."

"Tyson! Please just stop."

Mindy could see tears welling in his eyes.

"I thought you'd be happy about this." Maria's smile was gone. "Not only that but this is real rich coming for you. We've already been having sex fir awhile and you know it! I thought the three of us could finally enjoy each other."

"What?! You two have been sleeping together this whole time?! And you're mad at ME?! What the hell?!"

Tyson's fear hardened into anger.

"We clearly set boundaries when we started this relationship! How long have you been doing this behind my back?"

"That's not important right now, Tyson. Maria has been manipulating us both."

"Not important!?" Tyson retorted but before he could continue Maria spoke up.

"Don't act like neither of you wanted to try this. I just had to be the one to take initiative since you two were too scared to."

"Do you get us both to cheat with you and what? Hope you get caught and it turns into threesome? How old are you?"

Mindy didn't know how to feel. She knew she had no right to feel betrayed but it didn't stop her from hurting. She looked at Tyson who had fallen silent. He stared off into some blazing inferno that wasn't there in front of him.

"Tyson", she started.

He snapped out of it and looked at her.

"I need to get out for a minute, ok?"

"Yeah... I think that's a good idea. I'm going to my room", she replied.

She walked out, collapsed on her bed and sobbed. Maria was left alone in the living room.
