The Cheat

exposed

Mya

I sat on my bed Indian style waiting on my husband, Odell, to come home. He was supposed to be here over an hour ago to spend time with me before he had to leave for Texas tomorrow for one of his games.

All of a sudden the door opened and he dropped his bag on the floor before kissing me, but I didn't kiss back. "Where have you been?"

"I was with Vic"

Liar. "Vic is with his wife, I know that because they posted pictures on snapchat"

"I was with him before he went with his wife" he shrugged and removed his shirt.

"Well where were you for the rest of the time? because you've been gone for at least four hours now. I could've sworn your practice ended at 7" I crossed my arms, waiting to hear whatever lie he was gonna tell.

"Don't star-"

"Were you with her?"

He looked at me confused "Mya, what you talking ab-"

"Don't play dumb, I'm talking about that bitch you're cheating on me with. You were with her weren't you?" I stood up and followed him to the closet as he tried to get away from me "Oh so now you can't speak?"

"Man you crazy, go sit down somewhere"

"I coming with you to Dallas"

"Huh?"

I rolled my eyes "If you can huh you can hear, I said I'm coming with you to Dallas"

"I'm going to this banquet shit with some players, you wanna come?"

I nodded and got off his lap to go get ready. See the thing with me and Odell is I know he's cheating but it's like a part of me won't let go and the other part of me wants to because I know I deserve better. I've been faithful the entire relationship and he was at first until the fame started getting to him and girls basically started throwing themselves at him.

Things are really lowkey and private for us when it comes to social media so it's not like the whole world knows, no one knows except me, him and the little hoe he's cheating with. But according to him 'I don't know what I'm talking about and I'm making things up in my head' he can think I'm dumb all he wants, it's only a matter of time before karma bites him in his ass.

"You ready?"

"Seriously? it's been fifteen minutes, I haven't even started my makeup yet"

He chuckled and came behind me in the mirror, wrapping his arms around my waist. "I love you"

If you really loved me, you wouldn't cheat on me.

"I love you too baby"

"I want you to know that I'm not cheating on you, I wouldn't risk losing a diamond for some glitter"

"You may think that flattered me, but it didn't" I said "I know you're cheating, you know you're cheating so stop. God is gonna handle you much better than I can"

He smacked his lips and loosened his grip around my waist. "If you know I'm cheating why don't you leave me?"

Financial support, great sex, going fancy places, being pampered and spoiled, the fact that if we have kids I can spoil them and give them a life I never had as a kid. "Because I love you and we can work through this as soon you learn to keep your dick in your pants, but if I ever catch you I will set you and that bitch on fire"

He chuckled and gripped my ass "Well that's not gon' happen 'cause I'm not cheating"

I smiled at my reflection in the mirror before removing my robe. He bit his lip and turned me around so I was facing him before connecting his lips with mine.

I love Odell, I really do, but the love isn't as strong as it used to be. It's died down over the years we've been together. They say five years of marriage is when shit starts to go downhill and that's exactly what's happening to us. "We can't have sex, we're gonna be late" he kissed my lips one more time before walking off.

After getting dressed, we made the short drive to the venue and I couldn't help but to roll my eyes when I saw all these fake ass wives and girlfriends of the many athletes that were here. I don't associate myself with them because they're so stuck up and all they do is sit around like some lames and talk about people, they act like little ass kids and I just can't be around that.

"Babe don't leave me, you know I don't like them"

He grabbed my hand and kissed it as we made our way inside "I won't, I don't like them hoes either"

"What's up, O!" a few players greeted him. "Hey, Odell's wife"

I glared at Victor and contemplated on whether or not I should say something back. I don't like that little bitch but his wife is cool, he just annoys me for no reason. He's nice to everyone else but when it comes to me he's like a completely different person. "Hey bench warmer." Jarvis and Odell laughed at my comment while Victor stood up there with a mug on his face.

"Mya? is that you?"

Why lord? "Kimberley! Hey girl" I put a fake smile on my face as I saw her and some of the other girls walking over to me.

"Girl, I see you and Odell are still going strong"

I tilted my head a little "Why wouldn't we be?"

"Oh I didn't mean it like that it's just that being the wife of an athlete can be hard, especially with all these thirsty females around"

Says the girl who's cheating on her man with his team mate. "Well me and my husband are doing perfectly fine, I don't know if you could say the same for yourself" I grabbed a drink from one the servers and sipped it. She laughed a little.

"What do you mean?"

"Now, I'm not one to gossip so you didn't hear this from me, but I hear you and Mr. Cam Newton been messing around."

She scoffed "People are quick to take information from the blogs and run with it, it's pathetic. My marriage is going great, there's no reason for me to even associate myself with another man, let's get that straight"

"Okay girl" I smiled "Good for y'all"

We all stood around just awkwardly glancing at one another until Odell came up to me. "Let's go have a seat"

"Hey Odell" Lisa spoke, but Odell just looked at her and turned away. He grabbed my hand and led me away from them to table where a few people were already seated.

"Good luck" I hugged Odell as he got ready to leave for his game "Be safe and don't do anything stupid, you've paid enough fines already"

He chuckled "You know I always try to keep my composure baby"

"Try harder"

He grabbed his keys off the table and looked at me. "So you really not coming?"

I shook my head "I'll just watch it on TV"

"Really? I want you to come support me"

"Your mom will be there to support you, I'll be waiting on you whenever you get back" I kissed his cheek.

"Whatever, I love you" He mumbled. Before I could respond he walked out and slammed the door.

I don't feel bad for making him mad. It's what he deserves.
