Charlotte's POV
While I'm on my way home I call Marjorie. I heard her mention drinks between her and Autumn tonight hopefully I can crash, I don't wanna be at home with Henry tonight.
"Hey Charlotte." I hear Marjorie. Her voice always sounds so sweet and caring no matter the situation. I just started crying.
"Hey hey, Char darling what's up? What happened?" She says worriedly.
"Um.. Autumn caught Henry flirting with other girls last week. I'm about to go home but I just.. don't feel I can stay at home with him, I was wondering if I could maybe crash drinks with you and Autumn tonight?" I wipe my tears and try to calm down. I do not want my husband to know that I cried nether the less cry infront of my boss.
"Yeah that's fine honey. We'll come pick you up in a hour okay? Talk to him first and then we'll come get you."
"Okay Marjorie. Thank you." I end the phone just as I pull up into my driveway. After fixing myself I grab my bag and head inside, locking my car first. When I open the door I hear him.
"Char baby is that you?" He shouts from the front room. He's seriously going on as if it didn't happen? Maybe Carly's right.
"Yeah it's me." I call back, trying to sound as normal as possible. I can hear him rush out of the room as I take my coat and shoes off.
"Thank god." He comes up and kisses my forehead. "That 'friend' of yours..." he scoffs, putting friend in apostrophes. "Autumn is it?" I swear this man-
"Yes. Yes it is, why? And I'd choose your next words very carefully after what I've just found out." I cross my arms. If he starts bad mouthing Autumn will go feral.
"She called my firm. Got me fired. Stupid bitch." He mumbles the last part. But I still heard him.
"I'm sorry? Stupid bitch?" I shout. I've started now there's no going back. "I suggest you take 30 seconds to grasp your brain back because the only fucking reason that 'stupid bitch' did that is because the stupid dick infront of me was flirting with other girls behind my back."
The look on his face gives me every answer I needed. The look of guilt, sadness and sheer disappointment in himself just shows me it's true. I sigh.
"It's true isn't it? Autumn was right! You fucking- we've been married 9 months!!" I shout again. I moved around him and started to walk upstairs, hopefully to get away from him, but he's chased me.
"Charlotte, baby, I was drunk. I swear they meant nothing, it was just silly stuff because I had been drinking. All the other lads were doing it and they were hyping me up because we were all a bit drunk. I promise it's nothing."
"So you did it..because you didn't want your friends to? Do what?"
"Char, you know what my friends are like. They don't like marriages and stuff. I just thought if I flirt with a few meaningless girls it would let them know I'm not boring anymore but I always will love you and only you." I make eye contact with Henry through the mirror. What do I do?
"Fine, give me the night to think it over. For now I'm going drinking with Marjorie and Autumn. I also don't give a fuck what you have to say." I slam the door shut in his face and lean up against it. What do I do? He seemed genuine but can I trust that? I look at my phone and realise I have 20 minutes to get ready. I quickly sorted out my hair, put on a minimal bit of makeup. I then realised I have nothing to wear, fuck sake, I see a cute but casual black dress and pair it with some black heels cause why not. By the time I'm dressed and ready I hear a car honk outside indicating that Marjorie is here.
