I knocked at the door braving myself for another tantrum. My hands were stuffed inside my denim pants. I would not let her see me shake with fear for her- for us. The door opened and I was met with a very cold stare."Get in. "
"You're taking me on a wild goose chase, aren't you? For four years you've been with me, we are married. You are not there in the middle of the night, you come home in your own hours. You think I can't make two out of two?Who is she? "she asked.
"Who's who? "I asked knowing exactly what she meant.
"Oh no, don't start with me. Who is she? "she glared. I squeezed my eyes shut and only opened them after I felt her slap on my face. She pushed me down the seat. I knew she was going to hail stones at me now.
"Is it Britney? Is it Mary? Is it..... Is it?"she sobbed."God you hurt me. "she continued. I stood up but she moved further from me, she was now on top of the table. My height intimidated her sometimes, right about now.
"It's no one." I explained." I just didn't know how to tell you. How could I? It would break you. I'm only hanging onto you now. "
"What couldn't you tell me? "she asked puzzled worry lacing her voice.
I dropped on the chair, studied her. Everything we shared spun round my mind. I remembered the words: 'I wanted desire but I found love. ' 'I'm lost in your silence. ' 'I need your violence more. '
I had done everything by the book. Why? I would treasure what we had shared. Now it was too late.
"What? Tell me. "she was seated on my lap. I traced the outline of her cheekbones, her cherry lips, the way her hair pulled down at her sides.
"I..."I felt it rise up my throat. "Get up! "I ordered but she didn't. I spat it all out on her. Blood. She stared at her vest. She looked at me pleading.
"Blood cancer, "I answered wiping my mouth.
