Journal Of A Cheater

2

Her mom looked a bit unconformable by what I was holding up. It wasn't exactly inappropriate, just suggestive.

I chuckled a little and put the bra and shorts down. 

"Someone had fun shopping today" I laughed to ease up the award stares I was given from her mom. Ellie laughed a little and went into the room. 

"Uh, goodnight mom"

She shut the door before her mom could say anything more. She quickly moved and grabbed the items and stuffed them into the bag and took the bags into the bathroom in our room. She came back slowly looking embarrassed.

"Why are you uncomfortable?" I asked in a joking tone

She ignore the question and responded 

"My mom wants to stay here for longer than a day" 

I was expecting her to say something about the things she bought but instead talked about her mother.

"And I don't know if we should let her stay here. I mean I wouldn't mind to terribly much" She continued.

I nodded in response.

"I don't mind either. She just need to mind her own business and not stay for too terribly long" I responded 

Ellie sat next to me and looked at me in the eyes. She hugged me and thanked me softy.

We soon went to bed. I laid in the bed until she went to sleep. I wasn't planning on going out tonight but I felt like I needed to. I slowly left the house. It was only 10 pm. I went to the bar and ordered a wine. I only like wine, but I can't have to much. The night went fast. I met a few people that I clicked with. Nothing much happened that night. I left around 11:30.

I got into my car and went to a gas station and bought a few chips and a ice cream. When I got back home I made sure to be as quiet as possible. I knew that Ellie's mom wakes up very easy and would bug me about why I'm out so late. I walked in the door to the living room to see Ellie's mom sitting on the couch. She looked at me with a displeased face.

"And why are you out so late?" She asked like she was my mother and I was a 16 year old who just snuck out of the house.

I was holding the bag of chips and ice cream in my hand. I looked down at them and them shrugged.

"Eh.. I was hungry."

She didn't look happy with my answer but didn't say anything else. Who does she think she is? Why does she need to know about our personal lives? I walked passed her into the kitchen.  I opened the drawer and pulled out a spoon. I came back into the living room and sat down and stared to eat ice cream. Ellie's mom stared at me while I ate which made me uncomfortable. The T.V was on so I deiced to watch what was on. 

Ellie's mom was watching some show about people and their lives. I was really bored but I still watched it anyway.  After awhile I finished eating ice cream. I went to go to put it away but she stopped me.   

"Why does it smell like wine in here?" She questioned. 

"Wine is so gross. You shouldn't be drink that stuff."

Her voice made me mad every time she spoke. The way she thought she was entitled to know everything made me want to punch a hole in the wall.  I've never met someone who made me this mad by just speaking. She crossed her arms as I was taking to long to answer her.

"I dunno. I'm going to bed" I replied. 

This made her scrunch up her nose in a disgust. She frowned while letting out a sigh. I walked into my bedroom and saw my wife sleeping peacefully. I walked to my side of the bed and got on the floor. I reached under my night stand  and pulled out a black box. I lifted up the lid and a black journal with a small silver lock was in the box along with a pencil. I reached into my pocket in my pants and pulled out my wallet which had a tiny gold key.  I opened up with the key and started to write where I left off. 

Once I had finished, I flipped to a new page and started writing about today. This journal meant a lot to me.  It had all my darkest secrets along with my best and worst memory. I know it was a bit childish to write in a journal, but it helped me with controlling my emotions. When I was younger I had to go to a therapist  and she told me this method of how to control emotions and it has helped me. So I continue to use it. 

I soon finished and put everything away under the night stand. I turned off my lamp and crawled into the bed. I felt Ellie move around. I found out that she moves around a lot when she sleeps when we got married.  I wrapped my arm around her and started to fall asleep.  

When I was half asleep I felt Ellie turn around and face me. I opened my eyes to see that she was awake. She placed a kiss on  my nose and closed her eyes. I closed my eyes also. Soon I felt the pleasant relaxation and then fell asleep. 

Awhile after falling asleep we both woke up to screaming and crashing. I got up and went to our bed room door while Ellie sat there in shock.  I opened the door and walked to the end of the hallway. There I saw the most ridiculous thing in my life.
