I walked over to the the front door after 2 loud knocks were heard. The key slowly turned in the lock and i yanked opened the door with a bright eye to eye smile on my face. Their my husband stood messy tie, crinckled shirt, messy hair its almost like he wanted to to know. He simply just strutted past me refusing to acknowledge my presence.
"Bad day at work?"I questioned as he silently waked up thr creaking steps.
"Horrible day" He replied.
I quickly locked the door and went to our shared bedroom. "Anything exciting happened?" He looked me dead in the eye with thoses eyes. Those eyes that used to be filled with love and warmth. Those eyes that used to smile at me everyday."No why?" he said. I blinked a couple times "No reason. How come your back so late?" I asked even thought i already knew the answer to that. "Had some extra paperwork to do." It was always that. It was always i had extra work or i was forced to stay behind. I sat on our bed as i watched him walkin into out bathroom, once i heard the door shut i lay back on the bed and let out a huge sigh. My flickered to the huge clock on the wall that read 20:27. That was quick, atleast quicker than all the other times.

Last month i found these red lace underwear. They definitely werent since i dont own red underwear and im not planning to. I kept them in this in a ziplock bag and put that in one of handbags i dont use anymore and shoved it under the bed. I never told my husband about them, i never even told Sophie (my bestest friend ever) about them. She would tell me to leave him but she doesnt understand us, she doesn't understand my love for him and that i would never leave him. Besides we vowed to be together until death. The first thing i thought of when i first saw the panties was that he was cheating on me which he is but at the time i couldn't believe that. So i tried to think of any excuse possible to why he would have another woman's underwear in this suit pocket. I gave up after i saw him and Ania Smith outside my house once. Ania Smith. My blood boiled as that name rolled off my tongue. The woman whos wrecked my marriage. The woman i hate so much. The woman i want dead. She was to blame. If only she couldve kept her disgusting hands to herself.

"Alison!"
I was startled by someone yelling and snapped out of my thoughts. I came to terms that that person wailing my name had to only be Denny since we has no kids. I walked over to mine and Dennys shared bathroom. "Yes?" i replied.
"Could you pass me my towel please."
His dripping hand slipped out from behind the shower curtain waiting for me to pass his towel, and when i did i quickly walked out the bathroom closing the door behind me.
I decided i should start to warm up his dinner as he should be coming out soon. I cut his well done steak into small bitesize pieces. I used to enjoy his company but now its like being a mother to whiny kid who wont shut up. I loved him so much but he could be annoying sometimes. He always had something to complain about like the bath water being to cold or his favourite dish doesnt taste the same as last time. Some how my thoughts of all his annoying aspects about him turnt into dark twisted thoughts of me stabbing this knife straight into his heart. For some odd reason the thoughts of blood gushing out of him excited me. Reality hit me hard as i dropped the knife. How could i ever kill my husband? How could i even think about killing my husband? "Is everything alright?" Denny questioned. I swiftly turned around and their he was, standing a few steps away from me.
I started to imagine his face shocked snd a hundred stabs in his chest. I blinked a bit and replied with a shaky yes whilst picking up the knife and put his food on the table and rushed up the stairs into our bedroom. I lay face toward the ceiling on my bed and wondered what the hell just happened. It was like i was a completely different person there. I brushed off those thoughts and quickly changed into my
favourite light pink pj's Denny had once bought me on one of our shopping spree's. I face planted onto the soft bed and was engulfed but out big silk pillows. I found myself slowly drifting into a deep sleep hoping to forget what just happened.

My eyes fluttered open as the bright LA sun shone on me. I was used to waking up alone. Denny usually started work at 8:45 and woke up at a whopping 7 which is way too early for me (i am NOT a morning girl). This whole cheating thing has me on edge now, ive started to observe more and question unusual things. Like how hes started to leave early for work. He used to leave the house at around 8:20 and would kiss me goodbye but now, now he leaves at 8 and doesnt bother to say goodbye. After rolling around in my thoughts i decided to finally get up, take a shower and get ready fir the day.

After freshening up i decided to call Sophie. We met at one of Dennys work parties, ever since then we've been two peas in a pod. After a few rings she finally answered.
"Hey Ali"
"Hi Soph, I just wanted to call to check up on you."
"Im good, everythings been good you know the twins and obviously Evan aswell."
"Well thats great."
"How have you been? We haven't met up in a while, we should defo see eachother again sometime."
"Yeah Ive just been a bit busy with stuff you know, just family problems." I had a mini war in my head deciding if i should tell her about the panties or keep it to myself and i chose not to tell her.
"Damn I hope your alright though."
"Im good dont worry. Anyways any good news or anything?"
"I mean Evan just got promoted so thats good."
"Wow thats amazing Sophie."
"I know right-"
"Mommy" the twins cried in the background.
"Oh i have to go sorry Ali call you whenever i can!"
"Its alr-"
I was cut off to the phone beeping. I let put a deep breath i didnt know i was holding. I plopped onto the sofa and settled for playing meaningless games on my phone as i waited for Denny to come and see what new evidence i could find.
