This Love

Broken Hearted

Sydney's POV 

I got my neighbor to watch Bentley. I climbed into my Range Rover and headed to Julie's hosue. I pulled up the driveway and saw a familiar car. I got out and walked up the steps. Before I could knock, Emma opened the door.

"Hey Sydney," She said. "Hey Emma," I said as I walked in. We sat down on the couch and Emma had a sad look on her face. "Emma? What's wrong?" I asked her. "Sydney, I love having you as a stepmom so much," She said. "Ok..." I said. "Sydney, my dad has been coming here two to three times a week. He's been telling you that he has meetings, but he doesn't." She said. "So he lies to spend time with his kids?" I asked her. "No, he..." Before Emma could continue, I heard someone walking downstairs. I turned around.

There was Vince in his boxers. 

"Shit! Syd, what are you doing here?" He asked. "Emma texted me. What the hell are you doing here?" I asked him. Vince gave Emma an angry look. "I like her too much to lie to her, dad!" Emma screamed. "Emma don't you..." Before Vince could continue, Emma interrupted him.

"My dad is cheating on you with my mom!" Emma screamed. 

"Emma!" Vince shouted. I felt tears starting to form around my eyes. "Is it true, Vince?" I asked him. "Yes," He said. With that, tears were streaming down my face. "How long?" I asked him. "For a year," He said. "What! You've been cheating on me for a year!" I screamed at him. "Yes, but I love you." He said. 

"If you loved me, you wouldn't have fucking cheated on me for a year!" I screamed as I headed for the door. Vince grabbed my wrist and turned me around. "Syd, wait," He said. "No! We're done Vince! I'll have someone bring you your shit and divorce papers tomorrow. Because you obviously don't need any clothes right now!" I screamed as I reached for the doorknob. "Syd!" Vince shouted. 

I ripped my engagement ring and wedding band off my finger and whipped them at him. "I guess now would be the time to tell you that from the time Bentley was born until you caught Adam and I in bed together, I was cheating on you with him! And we slept together about 2 hours ago!" I said before I stormed out of the house.

When I got home, I picked up Bentley and brought him back to the house. 

After I packed up all of Vince's things, I set them by the front door along with the divorce papers that I picked up on the way home. I called Adam and asked him to come over. He agreed and said he would be here in 10 minues. I put Bentley down for his nap while I was waiting.

I heard the doorbell ring and I went to answer it. There stood Adam.

He walked in and we sat on the couch. His eyes were red and puffy. Had he been crying?

"So what's up?" He asked. "Vince has been cheating on me for a year with his ex-wife. I broke it off with him," I said as the tears fell down my cheeks again. Adam pulled me into a hug and kissed my head. I pulled away and looked at him. He looked like he was on the verge of tears. 

"Anne broke up with me. She told me that she found another guy and things just weren't working out between us." He said. "I'm so sorry, Adam." I said as I hugged him. "I'm sorry about your marriage, too." He said. 

"I still love you, Syd." He said. "I still love you too," I said.

 Next thing I know, Adam's lips are pressed against mine and he's carrying me up to the bedroom.
