Her Keeper

Chapter 150

--Geovanni Parris--

"How are you feeling this morning?" Thalia asked as she sat a cup of coffee before me.

"I'm cool." I shrugged.

"You're not, but it's ok." She called me out on my bluff.

"I just miss her." I shrugged.

"We all do." She sighed. "I can't believe she never told us."

My wife's been dealing with cancer and I didn't know.

How do you deal with that?

How do you begin processing that?

She just decided to keep it a secret from everyone that loves and cares about her.

I've been sleeping beside that woman for damn near twenty years and I couldn't spot the differences?

She'd go out for hours per day and claim she was at her restaurant, while all the time she was doing her treatment.

I was feeling so frustrated that I wasn't even in the mood to drink my fucking coffee.

She just planned to leave me here? By myself? Or with Thalia?

She promised me that she won't leave me again. What happened to that?

What happened to choosing to live for me?

She just thought that she could be replaced?

I appreciate Thalia being around now, but we don't share the same history or journey Julliet and I have. Thalia and I are still just friends who've messed around a few times.

Julliet and I have our very long history from our very long journey. She couldn't possibly think that she could just be substituted and forgotten. Buried like a corpse. She lives in me everyday.

That's a laugh I'm always going to hear echo in my head. Those are moans I'm always going to listen for when I'm cumming. Those are the features I've had engraved in my heart. Features that I could see in our children. That's the woman that started out as the model little sister for me. Someone I had to protect at all times. That's the woman I've killed for. She would be crazy to think that I'd just forget about her, because she tried to substitute herself.

I stared blankly at the cup of coffee in front of me, fighting with myself to just pick it up and have a sip.

My stomach cramped just before it growled, reminding me that I hadn't really eaten in two days and if I remember correctly, neither has Thalia, but she was trying to feed me.

I looked to my left and saw her with the cup of peppermint tea held up to her lips in a position as though she was frozen as she started blankly, like I was doing a while ago. She wasn't drinking it or anything, but just awkwardly frozen in daydream.

I sighed and stood up from the table, causing her to snap out of her trance and look up at me.

"I'd be back." I announced as I leaned down and pecked her lips.

"Be safe." Her eyes pleaded just as much as her words did.

"I'll try my best." I promised.
