The Element Of Surprise

Surprise...

You're home after your long day of 'work'. So you gently kiss me on the cheek then go upstairs.

Ugh...I could smell that lavender scent all over you.. her scent.

After putting the puzzle pieces together about your affair, I decided to get you back. It took a while for me to be sure that it was the right thing to do, but after a lot of thinking (and maybe one or two glasses of red wine) I decided that this was the only way to get back at you.

I had everything planned, now I just needed to put it into action.

I walked up the stairs and entered our bedroom... wait can I even call it our bedroom, because for all I know you could've done it with her here as well.

I heard the shower running, so I assumed you were in there. I quietly snuck in so that you wouldn't notice me.

As you stepped out of the steaming hot shower, you got a fright.

"Oh my goodness, I didn't see you there?" you said breathless, with one hand on your heart and another holding your towel around your body. "What do you need?"

"Oh nothing, just wanted to see you. You smell really good... What is that... " I walk towards you and smell a lingering bit of lavender scent on your neck, you probably couldn't get the putrid smell off, "Is that lavender?" I ask with a devious smile on my face.

"Uhm lavender... Oh must be from when Cindy decided to spray the office, you know how she is..." You said while fidgeting with your towel.

You absolutely delusional fool. You know you're really terrible at lying. You always fidget with something when you are lying, you probably think that I never noticed. I'm more aware of what is happening around me now.

"Mmmm yeah..." I stood there staring at you, when behind my back I was twirling a knife that I picked up when passing the kitchen on my way upstairs.

"Is there anything you need?" You ask once more, noticing that I hadn't moved from where I was standing.

" I know you slept with her... and I hope you enjoyed it." You looked at me like I was crazy, trying to play off that you knew what I was talking about. "My sister... Was she as fun as you anticipated ... " I laugh, "But, of course she was because you carried on seeing her, for quite some time now right?"

"Let me explain..."you tried to tell me whilst reaching out to touch me.

"Do. Not. Touch. Me. " I said stepping away. I pulled the knife from behind my back and started twirling it on my forefinger, thinking of the different things I could do to you with it... Maybe carve something..

The minute you saw the knife, you got a little scared, didn't you? I'd even say you were paralyzed with fear.

Don't worry, I know how to use a knife, I actually used it this morning so it's a bit dirty, "You know I dont want to hear your excuses. I hate it when people lie to me or maybe take what's mine. You know, like how my sister took you from me? So I decided to.... Hmm I'm trying to find a better word for killed.. Maybe eliminated?" I asked you with a sly grin plastered on my face.

At this point you look mortified, it's really funny. I saw you looking at the bathroom door and in one swift move, I turned around, locked the door and put the keys in my pocket, I know you wouldn't try to get them, since I am holding a knife.

You try to push me and take the sharp knife out of my hand.... Big mistake.  I pierce your chest with the knife and you fall to the ground.

I joined you on the floor and caressed your face. "Oh my poor baby, are you ok? " I ask with sarcasm. I love teasing you.

You think you're brave when you call out, "Fuck you! You're a psychotic bitch!" You should not have said that.

It's so cute how you scream for help, begging for help that will never come.

You black out the minute my knife goes into your cheek bone, but I carve out a really pretty picture on your face. It was a rose because I know how you loved to buy me roses... Oh wait I wasn't the only one you bought them for, of course not, how could I think otherwise?

Maniacal laughter

...

Now as I rot away in this cell, I can proudly say that my husband has stopped cheating on me and my sister will never take what's mine again...

Besides! You had it coming.
