I spun my ring round my finger nervously. I wasn't sure if I should press the bell. Was I really going to do this? Was I really going to cheat? Was it worth it?
But our marriage was failing anyway and we didn't have kids yet. I recheck my phone to confirm the address for the a millionth time. Did it have to be this same hotel AND room that we first hooked up with my now present husband!
I couldn't do this. I turn to leave.
"You alright lady?"an old man I was completely oblivious of one minute ago asks me.
"Of course. " I smile nervously.
"You'd better get in before people get suspicious don't you think? "
I nod turning back to face the door. I can do this, I will do this. I mean the dude was awesome considering how well we bonded via the internet.
I fell in love with him and he with me and that was the end of my marriage. But maybe I could save my marriage and this was definitely not the way.
Lord!! Why am I torturing myself! I was already so might as well get on with it. Besides, I used too much money on my look to spend the night alone since my husband wouldn't be home anyway,he had work.
With a sigh I shove my ring in my purse and press the bell. My heartbeat increases as his footsteps inch closer to my direction. I can do this.
"Finally... " he says before the door is barely open. That voice!
I look up to meet his face and terror tears through my face as it does through his.
"Honey??!" It's him, my husband.
