After I had watched Chris walk back to his car, I shut the door and put my back against the door. I had to take a deep breath to keep myself together. I knew Blake was coming over soon and I didn’t want him to see that I had been crying. I walk over to the kitchen counter and pour myself a glass of wine. I sit down and think about everything. I start to think about if Chris was even worth any of it. I wondered if he was good for me, I thought for a good twenty minutes. I was done with my wine. I told Blake to be over in 30 minutes so I had time to take a quick shower. I placed my empty glass in the sink and went up to my bathroom. When I got there, I looked at my phone and see a text from Blake.
Blake-
On my way over, stuck in traffic. See you in 15ish minutes.
I texted him back right away.
Me-
Okay! :)
Just when I set my phone down, I get a text from Chris.
Cheater #2-
Please don’t let him do anything to you. I love you Melissa Benoist, please don’t try anything that you’ll regret.
Me-
Chris, I know that you are just trying to help but I need space right now. I am a grown adult, I can make my own decisions.
Cheater #2-
Sorry.
I put my phone down on the counter and looked into a mirror. I could see a tear drop come out of my eye. I immediately wiped it and undressed to get into the shower. I was not going to cry anymore. Just when I get into the shower, I hear my doorbell ring. I jump out of the shower and dry myself off and wrap the towel around me. I pick up my phone.
Me-
Hey! I have to get dressed, just got out of the shower. Let yourself in.
I put my phone down and walked to my room to get changed. When I walked out of the bathroom, I saw Blake shutting the door. He had a bouquet of roses in his hand. I walked over to my bedroom and shut the door. I took my towel off and got into some supergirl pajamas. They were the most comfortable pajamas I had. Jeremy had got them for me when we started season two. They had the logo right in the center and little logos all over my pants. I came out of the bedroom and saw Blake pouring us some wine.
“I thought you hated wine.” I said to him.
“I do. But I’ve been trying to get better. You know, staying away from the whiskey and beer.” He said as he handed me the glass. I think back to when I tried to get him to stop drinking. He didn’t even try to stop until after we were divorced. I wanted to ask him why he wanted to stop drinking, but I just held myself back.
“I am proud of you.” I said as I lifted the glass to my face. I lean onto the counter that he was already sitting at. He sets his glass down on the counter and looks at me. I see a slight smile start to appear on his face. “Oh my God! Are you blushing?” He looks down at his shoes.
“Maybe. Look at that, you can make anyone blush Mel.”
“It’s my real life superpower.”
“Yeah, I’ve actually been watching the show lately. You are fantastic.”
“Thank you.” I start laughing and walk to the other side of the counter and place my forearms on the cold surface.
“Although, it’s quite weird seeing you kiss somebody else.”
“Do not worry about him.”
“Why not? You seem really happy.”
“I am a good actor, thanks.”
“What happened?” He stands up and walks over to the sink and sets his glass into it. After he is done with that, he walks over to me and just stands there. His hands slowly grabbing mine. I realize that he was pulling me into a hug so I wrap my arms around his back. That was always where my hands went to with Blake. With Chris, they always went to his neck.
“He hurt me, that’s all I want to say.”
“I am so sorry. I actually kind of feel bad for him, I know what losing the best women in the world feels like too.”
“Thanks.”
“No problem.” His face started getting closer, I could feel mine doing the same. Our faces were only inches apart. I could feel myself losing control. All I wanted to do was kiss him, but I knew that I couldn’t. Something in me told me ‘no’. I step away and laugh, covering my mouth. “What?’ He starts laughing too.
“Nothing, what movie do you wanna watch?”
“I don’t really care. Any new ones that you haven’t seen?”
“I have a movie in mind, but it’s a musical, and you hate-”
“It’s fine. What is it?”
“The Greatest Showman?”
“I have never seen it.”
“Because you hate musicals…”
“I haven’t watched a musical since we broke up. It reminded me to much of you. But I want to watch it.”
“Okay, whatever you say!” We walked over to the couch and he sat down while I got the popcorn. I was watching the popcorn pop when I feel a pair of arms wrap around me. I turn around and see Blake looking at me smiling. “You really want popcorn that bad?”
“No… I want something else.”
“And what’s that?”
“You know what... “ He reached his hand underneath the back of my shirt. I got goosebumps thinking about him like that again.
“Oh…” I smiled as we leaned towards each other. His lips touched mine and he carried me to the couch. He laid me down and kissed my neck. His hand made its way around and onto my bra. I know it’s bad to be doing this but it feels so good. He lifted my shirt up and kissed me some more. I slid his shirt off and looked at him. “Since when do you have abs?” I said as my hands grazed over them.
“I started working out when you left me.”
“Well I like it.” I pulled him back down onto me. His body crashed and I could tell he was getting anxious. He started to get more aggressive. His kisses becoming hungrier. His body was so hot right now, he was grinding, ready to just strip. His hand made its way to the back of my bra and he unclipped it. I threw it onto the floor as his lips went down my stomach.
Suddenly, flashes of Chris and I filled my head. Our first kiss, our first laugh, the way his Adam’s apple bobbed when he laughed, the way his breath smelled after drinking coffee, the taste of fresh donuts on his lips, and the way that he sang with me to every song on the radio.
I lurched forward and snapped back into reality. I saw Blake just looking at me with confusion. I quickly picked up my bra and started putting it back on.
“Hey, what’s wrong?”
“I am sorry, we can’t do this.” I said as I put my shirt back on.
“What?”
“I'm sorry. I just can't. We both know this is wrong. You are my ex-husband.”
“That's what makes it so fun and dangerous.” He grabs me again and leans on to kiss me.
“BLAKE STOP! I DONT LOVE YOU!”
“Fine Melissa.” He grabs his shirt and walks to the door.
“You are making the biggest mistake of your life!”
“I already did.” The biggest mistake of my life was leaving Chris just to turn around and hang out with the mean man who used to cuss me out for telling him to put down the bottle.
I watch as he walks out of my house and into his car. I sat back down onto the couch and just thought about everything for a few minutes. I fell asleep to the sound of The Flash and eating ice cream.
