Deceit

Chapter 3: My Love

Once I got into my apartment I locked the door, put Gus into a bigger bowl, went to go get Freddie and Gus went to my room and locked my door. I sat for what felt like an eternity. I waited for some sign of him. I thought about what could've happened to him. He's not the kind of person he likes to read and rain, he never gets into trouble and he never starts trouble on purpose at least.he shouldn't be the one in trouble i should i'm always the one getting into dumb shit and having him pull me out. What if he's hurt, can I help him if he can't go to the hospital? What if he's dead and then it consumes the what if what if what if what if. I was stunned back into the real world when my phone rang. I looked at it praying to god that it was Steven calling to tell me that he was fine and one of his dickhead coworkers had called me and that he was at work fine.

I start to whisper

"Please god please let this be a dream or some sick joke don't let us change."

I picked up my phone and looked at the caller id and i was steven i picked up quickly

"Hello? Steven is that you? Are you there? Are you ok? where are you?"

"Jane, thank god you're ok! I'm in the apartment. I'll be right down. I just need to figure some stuff out."

Another voice called out from a distance but still loud enough to hear on the phone, an unfamiliar voice a woman's voice

"Steven hurry up, we have to get back to it!"

"Steven, who was that?"

"uh no one love i'll be down soon"

"Steven Grant, are you cheating on me? this is all about you wanting to hook up with some floozy girl. Are you kidding me you scared me and for what 30 seconds in bed with another woman!"
"No of course not no never look i'll explain everything when we are done i'll even introduce her to you in fact i'll start now her name is layla."

"Steven Grant, you march your ass down here and tell me what is going on with this instant."

"I'll be down in a sec. I promise I will never cheat on you my love , you are my everything and I love you more than the entire universe could ever predict."

I hung up the phone with a half broken heart. Was he really cheating on me? Everything was fine yesterday. Why does this have to happen to us? We are good people. I walk out of my room and put Gus on my kitchen counter. I watched him swim around his bowl for a little while hoping it would make the time pass or slow it down. Either would be good at this point. It also gives me a chance to catch my breath and think over what I'll say once he gets here. I want to scream in his face but that wont get me anywhere. We will just et into a screaming match and get madder and madder until we combust. If I talk to him calmly he will get annoyed because he knows I want to scream my head off but I won't. I'll just ask him all the questions that I have and he can tell me the full story but god knows how long that will take. Once i start to form an attack plan i hear a knock at the door and a yell

"It's Steven, please let me inside love."
