Chryce Beginnings

Chapter 4 - Mysteries

I and Dad left in his car. "Bryce, sweetheart, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I wasn't feeling too well, that's all." I lied.

I couldn't possibly tell him the truth.

Seth was the one I saw, but he was with another woman. I couldn't believe that my husband would cheat on me. Certainly not after nearly 8 years of marriage.

This January of 2014 was getting both wonderful and miserable on equal counts.

I reached home, and bade my Dad goodbye. Soon, at around 12:30 at midnight, I saw Seth's car pull up. I was micro-close to losing control of myself.

He came in and saw me. I barely acknowledged his presence.

"Hey honey.. I'm sorry I couldn't go to the party." He said. Inside, I was erupting.

"No Seth, it's totally fine, I saw you at the party. Had fun?" I said, anger on my face.

"Bryce, it's-"

"Shut up Seth. You cancelled going with me, and went with some other woman. Really?" Tears started forming in my eyes at that very moment.

Seth rushed to me and tried to wipe my tears, but I stopped him. 

"How could you do this?" I asked, while trying to keep the volume down as to not wake up the kids.

"Honey, it's not what you think it is."

Oh really? Explain then. And that's exactly what came out of my mind.

"Oh really? Explain then."

"She's just a friend, and-"

"Shut it. Please. I'll just be in the guest room tonight."

"Bryce-"

"Please."

My answer was intimidating, and shut him up for good.

At night, I just kept thinking about him, and the thought of my kids just made me cry.

But on the other hand, I felt nice meeting Chris Pratt for the first time. And I saw his number written on a paper in my bag. But I couldn't forget the way I felt when he touched me.

It will take me a while to get to the heart of these mysteries.
