Chapter Twelve

"Hello?" he answers.

"Where the fuck have you been, James?!"

"Honey-"

"I've been calling you since yesterday!
God damn it!"

"Eri, listen-"

"Tell me James, where the fuck have you been? I have been calling your phone all day and night. Even your hotel room I've called many times. What the fuck have you been doing?" she screams on the phone.

"Eri, calm down," he says, trying his best to be patient.

"Calm down? Calm down? Who the fuck were you with?Who were you screwing with?!"

"What the fuck, Ericka?! What do you mean who was I with? I've been working my ass off since I got here. I haven't even slept or rested, and now you're accusing me of screwing with another woman? Fuck that!" he says, trying his best to get himself out of trouble.

Ericka suddenly feels bad about what she had said. She and James have been together for so long but they have never talked to each other this way.

And the worst part is, she is not even 100% sure if there really is something going on between him and Nadine.

All this time there has never been a solid proof; everything is just suspicions. She calms down and feels terrible.

Shocked at the way she handled things. She quickly realizes what she's done and tries to fix it.

"James, I'm-" she gets interrupted.

"You know what, Ericka, I don't know where you're getting all this shit from. Do you want me to leave this seminar and go home, huh? Would that make you happy?" he asks angrily.

"Jaye-"

"I've been working my ass off, trying to provide for our family and this is what you do? You fucking accuse me of shit I do not do?"

"I'm sorry, honey. Please forgive me. Honey, please, I didn't mean it," she begs.

"I gotta go."

"Honey, please. Let's talk," she begs again.

"I have no time for this right now," he says, hanging up the phone.

Ericka stands in the kitchen, phone is still on her ear. She feels horrible about what happened and she blames no one but herself.

She wants to hate Nadine but asks herself if she is making everything up in her head.

She sobs uncontrollably, wanting nothing more but to talk to James and apologize for accusing him of cheating. "GOD, WHAT HAVE I DONE?"

James walks over to Nadine. He sees her standing there, eyes filled with worries.

He is angry at Ericka for calling the hotel lobby and embarrassing him like that.

"Let's go?" he asks, placing a gentle kiss on her lips.

The two of them spend the morning on the beach. They walk along the shore, holding hands.

He picks her up and spins her around. As soon as he puts her feet down on the ground, she pushes him and runs off.

He stands there for a minute and watches her run and laugh freely. Her laugh makes his heart skip a beat, and makes his knees feel weak.
