The Affair

so sorry it took so long to write ;-;

Eliza's perspective

I woke up in Thomas' arms, I couldn't believe what I had done. I feel guilty but at the same time, I felt, good. I look up at Thomas, his face was glowing in the sunlight.

He was still asleep, he looked so peaceful I didn't wanna wake him up. Eventually, he woke up and kissed my forehead as he mumbled,

"Good morning beautiful." I could feel my cheeks turning a light shade of pink.

I looked down, mainly to hide my blush, when I look down I notice that Thomas and I are both wearing nothing. My face starts turning red. He soon caught up and turned redder than me. I couldn't help but laugh, his face was priceless, he tried to keep looking up and over my head. I turned to the side to see my wedding ring lying on the dresser. I couldn't help but feel absolutely horrible. Then I remembered one thing, he cheated on me! I knew that this was fair, but I still felt guilty. I decided it was time I head home. I pick up my clothes which were lying on the floor, slip them on, and put my ring on my finger. I look over at Thomas, he looks sad. I give Thomas a little kiss, and I started the ten-minute walk to my house.

When I arrived and opened the door, I hear another woman's voice. I immediately think what Angelica would do to Alexander if I caught him, and I whip out my phone. I start recording as I walk towards the noise, the noise was coming from the bedroom... With every step, I take I can feel my stomach turn and my heart drop. I finally get close enough to the bedroom door, and quietly open it to see Alexander and Maria on the bed having sex! I couldn't help but cry. Maria quickly launched herself under the covers, and Alexander getting up with a condom on his penis.

"It's not what it looks like!" He tried to lie.

"Well, then what's going on!"

He thought for a second. "Um...I'm a sperm donor..?"

"Two things, why would you be wearing a condom if you were trying to get her pregnant? And that's not how it works" I said with my phone in my hand, still recording.

Alexander started to get mad at me.

"Listen here you slutty whore, maybe if you hadn't gone home with Jefferson last night I wouldn't have fucked Maria!" He had the nerve to shout at me.

"Maybe if you would actually treat me and my family with fucking respect, that wouldn't have happened!" I angrily shouted back at him before running out the door crying. I could hear Alexander shout my name but I kept running. I realized I was still recording and ended it. I texted Angelica, tears still streaming down my face. I started running to Angelica and Peggy's apartment.

As soon as I knocked on their door, Angelica swung it right open. "I saw your text! What the fuck did that dirty bastard do to you?" Without saying a word, I start sobbing into Angelica's shoulder. After a few minutes of crying, I pulled out my phone and showed Angelica and Peggy the video. I could see the amount of rage on Angelica's face as she watched the video. Peggy looked nothing but shocked.

"That fucking prick of a husband." She said infuriated. I knew Alexander was going to regret life as soon as Angelica got to his face. Peggy was hugging me attempting to comfort me.

"Eliza, I'm so sorry he's done this to you." She said as she cried with me. I could tell Peggy was hurt, she trusted Alexander. He was like a big brother to her. Before we knew it, Angelica was gone. Peggy and I looked out the window to see her storming towards my house

I couldn't help but laugh, I knew Alexander was dead meat. I then continued to cry again. Peggy went to go make some tea for me. I couldn't help but think about Thomas. Peggy walked over to me with two cups of tea and handed me one. I smile sadly at her before taking a sip of the tea. I hear my phone ring. I stare at it for a while before picking it up. I stare at the caller I'd scared to pick it up, but after a while, I eventually pick up the phone and hear Alexander screaming. Angelica eventually picked up her phone, made it stand on a dresser, winked at me, and started beating Alexander's sorry ass up. She pulled his hair, punched him in the throat, face, and stomach several times, and kicked his balls and knees. I can't help laugh a bit, I turn to Peggy who looks horrified and upset. The FaceTime ended with Alexander lying on the floor with a bloody nose, black eye, several bruises, multiple scratches, and tears in his eyes. I move closer to Peggy and give her a hug, I get another call. It was Alexander. A sweat started to come. I ignored it. But then he kept calling and calling until I got annoyed by the sound. I picked it up.

"I'm sorry!" Alexander shouted

"What?" I answered completely confused

"Eliza, I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking straight, I was ignorant, and I'm so sorry."

"I'm not fully trusting you."

"No, please listen! I know I've failed as a loyal husband, but I really do love

you! Just please, stay with me."

I thought hesitantly for a second. But then I realized I really didn't have a choice. I had to apologize. I cheated on him, too. "Apology..accepted," I said. He smiled and hung up. It was fake, though. I knew it.

"Peggy, I'm going home now," I told her. She nodded. Instead of walking home, I head over to Thomas'. I gently knocked on his door. He opened it.

"Eliza?" He said.

"No, it's the goddamn tooth fairy." I joked. We both laughed.

"Why are you here?" He asked.

"I don't want to stay with Alexander, and I already told Peggy I was leaving," I explained to him. He nodded and opened the door for me. I had another urge to go for him. I tried to shake it off, but it became stronger and stronger.

But to my surprise, he was the one who grabbed me and leads me to his bedroom yet again. The urge was pushing my limits. We eventually did round two. Thomas eventually fell asleep later in the night, and I put my clothes back on and headed towards my house at almost 10:00 PM. I quietly enter. Alexander was asleep in our bed. I lie down next to him, and eventually, I fell asleep.
