To My Future Cheating Husband

IV. Shidekobushi

A V A

I know it's not my place to tell my brother who he can and can't be friends with, but it doesn't mean I'm comfortable with the fact that he's friends with someone who's clearly still interested in me.

Or perhaps, my ego is inflated again.

"It's pretty cool," Trevon says, "He even got us front rows to the game." Right now he's talking about the front row tickets to a hockey game Luke got for them to Mina.

She smiles, but would glance at me once in a while as if she expects me to interrupt her current boyfriend gushing over her ex-boyfriend and current boyfriend's sister's ex-fuck buddy.

We're a mess.

Trevon's phone rings, and he immediately looks at it, "It's Luke," he says. "Must be about the game. I'll be right back." He kisses Mina's cheek before he leaves the room.

"Hm-" Mina tilts her head slightly, "I think he found a boyfriend."

I bit the chocolate bar, "At least he's happy."

"Does he not know how weird this whole situation is?"

"How is it weird?" I asks. "Is it because you two used to date?"

"Because you two used to- you know."

"What is it?" I look at her, "Say it!"

"Be married."

"Oh, that." I thought she was going to say we used to sleep together.

"Oh, that? That's it? Isn't it weird?"

I chuckle briefly, "Not any weirder than how you used to be married to him."

When Mina didn't respond, I looked at her again, "What are you talking about? You said you died before anything happened."

Then reality dawned on me. Trevon didn't tell her the latest news. But, I did.

Trevon interrupts the tension I accidentally created to say, "Luke says he got us a backstage pass to meet the players. Isn't the co-" He paused when Mina glared at him. "Whatever she said, she lied," he quickly says.

Mina got off the couch, "Oh? So, you're not hanging out with the guy I married? The guy who broke your sister's heart?"

I know she means well, but she shouldn't bring me into this.

"Don't you see how fuck up this whole situation is?"

Trevon frowned, "Why are you mad at me? I'm not the one who cheated and ran away with Luke!"

"What are- What?! I didn't do that!"

Trevon scoffs, "You broke my sister's heart, then broke mine, so-"

Mina slaps Trevon.

I slap my hand over my mouth so the gasp wouldn't escape. I didn't expect things to escalate like that.

The tears well up in her eyes, "I didn't do anything," Mina says before she grabs her purse. "I'm leaving."

Trevon stands there for a brief moment to ease his aching jaw. Since he didn't move, I asked him, "Aren't you going to chase after her?"

"Why should I?" He snaps. "I was faithful to her, and what did she do? She went to Luke! It's always Luke!" He stomps up the stairs and slams the door like a toddler.

Slowly, I sit back down, "This is my fault. I shouldn't have blabbed." Quietly, I eat my snacks.

Do I feel comfortable with the result?
