"What is it?" I ask worriedly.
Tears are rolling down Lindsey's cheeks; he takes a deep breath and says. "I...I slept with someone."
I feel the air escape my lungs and it takes me a few seconds to regain control of breathing again. I let go of Lindsey and scoot away from him, as much as the sofa will allow. I don't trust myself to stand. Next thing I know, my tears are falling down my cheeks and I find my voice. "What?! How..? How could you?" I say. My mind is going a hundred miles an hour and can't even think straight.
Lindsey tries to hug me but I push him away.
His head hangs low and he begins to speak.
"It happened eight or nine weeks ago. I was working, giving a guitar lesson to one of my students. Her name is Kristen and I've been teaching her for the past few months. All those weeks ago, she invited me for a few drinks after her lesson and well, I accepted. I got tipsy and she invited me over to her apartment to sober up a little and...that's when it happened. She kissed me first then I just...I didn't stop her."
I sob the whole time as he tells me what happened. He continues and says. "After it happened, when I woke up in her bed I realized how much I fucked up. It was like seeing the world through new eyes and...I realized how wrong I was for treating you like garbage. I was so wrong for hitting you and blaming you for not having children." He sobs more and says. "I realized that you are the woman I love more than anything or anyone in this world. You are my soulmate, the one person I want to grow old with. It doesn't matter if we have children or not as long as I'm with you!"
I am standing up and pacing by this point. I cannot sit any longer. Lindsey stands and walks towards me. "I'm so sorry Angel. Please forgive me. I love you." He says as he tries to touch me.
I shake my head and take a step back. "Don't you fucking touch me!" I say. "How could you Lindsey!? I have been nothing but a good and loyal wife to you! I love you more than anything too!"
Lindsey falls to his knees in front of me and looks at me with defeated eyes. I can tell there is more he has to tell me.
"There's more isn't there?" I say prompting him to say whatever it is.
He looks me into my eyes and whispers. "She's pregnant. I'm the father."
Sorry for the short chapter but didn't want to leave you all hanging too long. I hope you are still enjoying this. I will try to update again soon.
