Spencer groaned as he finished and rolled off of me with a huge sigh. I smiled looking at him, his eyes we're half closed and his hair was falling over the sweat on his forehead. "That was great." I said.
"Yeah it was and I'm so exhausted." He chuckled and I sighed sadly sitting up.
"Your gonna have to sleep when you get home because my husband will be home pretty soon and you can't be here." I said slipping my undergarments on before putting on my robe and getting off the bed just to hear him groan loudly.
"I am so tired of sneaking around." He groaned and I raised my eyebrow crossing my arms. I watched him closely as he put on his briefs and turned to me.
"Tristan would he devastated if I left him." I said for the hundredth time in this year long affair and Spencer shrugged.
"So let the fucker be devastated, if that's the cost of being together then so be it Bella." He threw his hands up like a child and snatched his shirt off the duvet.
"Throwing almost five years of marriage out the window for some dirty sex and pillow talk. It just isn't worth it." I snarled walking around the large bed to him. I put my hand on his face so he could look at me and his blue eyes softened as I stared my hazel ones into his.
"Is that what you think this is?" He whispered not breaking his stare. I tilted my head confused, aren't all affairs just pillow talk and dirty sex to make you feel like you have secrets?
"Well yeah." I said and he scoffed snatching his head away and putting the rest of his clothes on. I watched as he shoved his legs into his dark jeans and grabbed his shoes walking around me.
"Call me when you figure out what this really is Bella because that sure as hell isn't it." He fumed and stormed out of my room. I stood there for what must have been a while because just as I was about to start cleaning up Tristan's Grey Chevy Tahoe pulled into the driveway next to my black Suburban.
Time to panic, I thought as I frantically cleaned up the room. I sprayed the Freshener and then perfume to cover up the authentic smell and rushed out of the room to the living room. I plopped down on the couch just as his car door slammed, I turned the tv onto a random channel and pretended to be interested in what it was as he stepped into the house.
"Hey babes, I just ran into Spencer at the mailboxes. I haven't seen him since our fourth anniversary party last year." Tristan's Sccotish accent rang through my ears and my heart jumped.
"Wow. What a surprise." I said looking at him as he set his coat down on the back of the couch and pecked my lips. I tasted the mints he keeps in his car and smiled, why was I cheating on this man again? Oh that's right because I need a secret like the rest of society. I needed to feel like I had a place in this hectic reality.
"Why are you watching a infomercial on erectile dysfunctions?" He chuckled untying his bright green tie. I looked at his long black hair that was pulled back into a bun, down to his crisp white shirt and grey slacks and then back up to his piercing green eyes.
"It was just on.." I laughed lightly. He nodded and began to tell me about his encounter with my dirty mistress. I'm horrible person to call him that but eh you are what you are.
-----
"That was a wonderful dinner love." Tristan kissed my hand that was intertwined with his as we walked through the neighborhood. Our nightly walks were the only time we are able to be alone with nature without the daily distractions. Of course we had our phones but we silenced them so we wouldn't get distracted. It was our thing.
"You always love my cooking." I giggled as someone yelled our names from across the street.
"Bella, Tristan. So nice to see you guys out tonight." Izzy gushed as she approached us and I groaned inwardly. Every neighborhood has that always happy girl who gossips about every damn thing.
"Hello, Izzy. Always nice to see you too." I pasted a smile on. She crossed the street and stood in front of us smiling that stupid smile. Why is this girl so happy?
"I never thought the sexual noises from your bedroom were gonna die down this afternoon. I was just glad it stopped before I had to put little Jake down for his nap." She hit my shoulder and I froze as Tristan looked at me then to her. This stupid bitch and her big mouth, I just want to slap that stupid smile off her face.
"Sorry for the inconvenience." Tristan bit out. I could sense his jaw being clenched as he snatched his hand out of mine.
"Oh it's no problem really, gotta enjoy our twenties while they are still here ya know." She laughed and I clenched my hand shoving it into my jacket pockets.
"Well we must be going now." Tristan said looking at me and added. "Shall we honey?" He pronounced the last word with so much venom I couldn't look at him.
We said our goodbyes and the walk back was silent and as soon as we got into the house I walked further into the entrance way while he stayed by the door looking at me.
"You're having affair." Tristan gulped.
"I am." I stated shortly. He opened his mouth to speak then closed it and the silence laid over the thick tension in the room.
"44 Days." He muttered so low I almost didn't hear him.
"What?"
"You have 44 days to fall in love with me again and if you don't, Arabella, then we can get a divorce. If it comes to that."
I studied his expression to make sure he wasn't joking and a sly smile spread across my face as I nodded sticking my hand out to meet his.
"Deal." I said. But I knew that after 44 days I'd be signing those divorce papers and I'd be free to live out my twenties.
We had met in London when in was studying abroad there and fell in love immediately, he came with me back to the states and we moved from Colorado to Florida where we eloped and have lived ever since. We married when I was 22 and he was 24, now he's nearly 29 and I just turned 27 in November.
I looked at him and he stared at me with his green eyes that held every emotion in them. I stopped smiling and stood there looking at him before speaking.
"Valentines day." I said. "Thats when this deal ends and if we haven't fallen in love again then we will end this."
"Yes but one more thing." He said. I nod allowing him to continue."The affair, you can continue it."
I stared at him for a minute before nodding.
