Ex Boyfriend

The Misunderstanding

 Becky's POV

I kept counting hours the next day.

I was excited for my anniversary.

I was going to gift Mike a diary that I had been saving for almost months.
It included of poems and short stories written by me on love. Basically, on our love.
I also planned on making some delicious chocolates for him.

Mike was working late for the day before our anniversary, so I had a lot of time to do my midnight preparations.

I had quite a luck with the chocolates, and also the cook helped me with them.

Then I tried cooking chicken, which wasn't that successful enough.

Mike was home by 8, he freshened up and we had dinner till 9.

Kids were sent to bed and we sat in our room.
We talked till 11:30 and then I made an excuse to go downstairs.

He probably got back to his work for the next half an hour.

I went to the dinning, lit candles and arranged the chocolates in the heart shape, kept the fried chicken that I cooked and my wrapped diary beside it.

At 11:59, I called him saying that I slipped in the kitchen and am not able to walk.
I knew that he would run downstairs.

When our moment came, the day of our anniversary began, we stood in each other's arms and kissed gently.

"Happy anniversary husband" I said.

"Happy anniversary wife" he said and laid a last kiss on my lips before turning to the table.

"What is this, my lovely lady?" he asked and sat down.

As the candle wax melted, we talked about love and how our lives have always kept us together, how we always believe in each other and how we always trust each other.

We had the chicken, the chocolates and then went to bed, of course after brushing our teeth.

Mike loved the book that I gifted him, we laid in each other's arms and fell asleep.

Next day, we work up.
Followed the daily routine. I begged Mike to not go to work for that day but he said that it was urgent and that he will be home soon and promised me a lovely evening.

I smiled and kissed him goodbye.

It was 9:30 when I received a call from Mike, asking me to send a file to the office, but I decided to take it myself.

It had been quite a time that I had visited the office.

I put on a deep blue coloured one piece, black heels and black coat.
I did my touch up, took the file and went to the car.

The driver drove me to the office, I got out and took the elevator to the floor his cabin was on.

I opened the glass door and got in saying "Hey baby here am...."

Then I was stunned on seeing what my eyes were seeing.
Cassie was sitting on Mike's lap and she was wearing almost nothing.

"What the fuck?" I screamed and threw the file on the floor.

He pushed her and stood up.

"Becky this is not what it looks like." he said.

Tears shredded my eyes and I ran to the elevator.

Million thoughts ran inside my mind at a time.

Micheal cheated on me. I thought he was the one guy who cared of me more than himself but he just tossed me away.

If he didn't feel sexually attracted to me anymore then he could have told me instead. We could have worked things out.

We could have got couple's therapy.

But he just...

I got inside the car and told the driver to drive home and also asked him to hurry.

Fame does change people.

I was so devastated, I thought Mike would never leave me but he proved me wrong.

My marriage went through this on the day of my anniversary, the day of my year that I value the most.

My mind froze and thoughts slowly vanished. All I wanted to be was with my mom and dad.

I reached home, and ran inside.
Anna came outside with Ben.

"What happened Mrs Walden? Why are you crying. Please have a seat." she said.

"No Anna. I want you to grab some important stuff and we are going to LA. Hurry and be ready in five minutes." I said still trying to control my tears.

She stood there frozen. Her eyeballs blinked twice when I barked
"What are you staring at? Do what you are told and hurry for God's sake."

I got up and slammed upstairs to my room.

I grabbed a bag, put some clothes in it, washed my face and then went downstairs.

Anna was standing at the front door with Ben and a small bag.

I took Ben as we got into the car and left the house.

Mike made his decision and now it was my turn to make my move.
