Dear Eddie spaghetti~ Reddie

Chapter 22

10 minutes later

Delilah sat at the counter and I stood across from her we was staring down we both didn't quite now what to say. She was yelling at me earlier saying I was a cheater and I couldn't blame her for it. Could I? Anyway I calmed her down since then. 

"I always new you loved him." She finally said. 

"Huh?" I asked confused. 

"Well, you cried all the time you could barely get out of bed. You wore his sweaters and polo shirts all the time and the way you clutched onto the teddy bear you gave him when you were younger. That's love. Mom, knew it too. One day when I was like eight I asked her if the two of you were going to be together forever. She said 'not if Eddie comes back.' so, I asked her 'Why?' She told me that everyone has there person, there partner, there ying to there yang and yours was Eddie and hers passed along years ago."

"Del-" 

"Im not even mad that your gay. Just the fact that your cheating, y'know? I always thought there could be nothing wrong with us. With our family. Are you guys getting a divorce? oh my god. Two christmasses two birthdays. No, I cant do that. But, you have to tell her about Eddie." She intrupted

"Delilah. Calm down." 

"Are you guys in love? Awww, ill have two dads."

That night

Malorie and I sat on the couch alone. I was so scared to tell her. I loved her and I didn't want to hurt her. I turned to her. I took a deep breath. 

"Malorie." I said.

"Richard." She smiled. 

"I-uh um-i don't know how to say this but, uh Eddie."

"It's okay I know."

"know what?" 

"You guys are in love." 

"What um-"

"Rich, its obvious I mean I see the way you look at him and the way you laugh when he makes a joke. The way you do your half bite lip thing when he looks at you. And, Rich I saw this coming when I figured out I got that call and I always knew you loved him. I just thought maybe you'd love me too." tears started to pour out of her eyes

"oh Malorie I do love you but, I also love Eds. I love you both and I dont know who to choose."

"I do. Rich, we've been married for ten years we have two kids. I know you and he just came back. "

"I left him."

"For ten years? No."

"I gues your right I should pick you." 

"Richie. Let me finish, I know you because were married and we have kids and the way you look at him is how I wanted you to look at me. Richie, Eddie is your partner."
