Love Triangle

I held one hand over her eyes and the other by my side, trembling with fear, gun in hand. I could feel her smile. I missed her smile. I missed her voice. She called me Richard. Is that her new boyfriend? Why did she betray me like this? Why did she leave me? I loved her. I treated her like a queen! And this is how she repays me?

I need a drink.

She started to turn around and I snapped out of my deep thought. I quickly out the gun to her back as I told her not to move and that I have a gun.

“Who are you? What are you going to do to me?”

Her voice was shaky. She must have started crying. She cleared her throat to make her voice seem stringer.

“What do you want?”

She’s so weak. I loved that about her.

“It’s okay Sarah. The safety’s on. I don’t want to hurt you.”

“Kevin? Is that you?”

“Yes, it’s me Sarah. We have to talk.”

“Kevin, I have a restraining order against you!”

“I know, I know. But I needed to talk to you.”

“So you break into my house and sneak up behind me while I’m washing dishes?!”

“You weren’t answering my texts, my calls, or my emails. For a moment I thought something was wrong. But now I see that while I’m grieving over the loss of our relationship, you’re off having the time of your life! Redecorating your house, buying new clothes and jewelry! And who the hell is Richard huh?! Are you trying to look good for him?! Answer me Sarah! Who the hell is Richard?!”
