In life, it is so easy to blame the world, or even God, for the bad things that are happening because you so desperately don't want to believe that the person who you trusted wouldn't hurt you so terribly. And at that moment, as your eyes rake over the lingering betrayal, you pray that what you were witnessing was just some wicked dream, a twisted nightmare.
"I-" you stutter out, a dry, weakened laugh escaping past your chapped lips.
"Just listen to me," Joe begged and stepped toward you, his left hand clutching the sheet that was wrapped around his waist. "Please-"
"Did you at least think of me while you were having sex with her?" You whispered, your hand still wrapped around the bedroom doorknob. His mistress was long gone, her body covered in Joe's clothes. She obviously was staying with him, in your guys' bed, while you were out of town for work.
"You can't seriously blame this all on me, [Y/n]," he snaps.
You take a step back, your hand rising to your chest in shock. How dare he? How dare he blame you for his affair, for his... dishonor and disloyalty.
"Excuse me? I was on a business trip!"
"Exactly! You left me, [Y/n]. I hate you for that. I hate you! I hate you because you left me when you promised you wouldn't!"
"You have some nerve!" You yell at him, your index pointing in his direction. You shift onto your other foot and take a breath before bowing and shaking your head. "I should have seen this coming," you whisper, more to yourself than to him. "You wanna know what the saddest part is, Joe? I knew you didn't love me when you kissed me, when you smiled at me. I knew it, deep down in my gut. But I just couldn't resist you."
"[Y/n], what are you saying?" He steps forward again yet his time you take two steps back, now standing in the hallway.
"I'm saying... the worst thing is, that even after all of that, I'm still in love with you."
"So you'll stay?" he asks. You want to laugh at the emotions on his face yet you refrain from doing so and suck in a breath and straighten up your shoulders. "Well?"
"I..."
