I've been sat here for forty minutes, I'm slightly drunk and talking to Rebecca about our affair that we had four years ago. I only said one drink but that soon turned into three. and now I'm sat in the backroom of the Woolpack, laughing with my ex-fling. What's going on in my head? Why am I talking to Becks about this stuff? I'm engaged to Aaron. Why is she looking at me like that? Why hasn't she left already?
"Why did you choose Chrissie? You knew that I wanted you" Becks asked as she played with her hair.
I thought about my answer for a moment 'Don't say it' My brain screamed "Because I was an idiot. And Chrissie always had a way of getting what she wanted" I answer. 'Why did you just say that? If you hadn't of married Chrissie then you wouldn't have met Aaron. You do remember the bloke that you're engaged to, right?' I asked myself.
"It looks like that's still the case from where I'm sat" Becks said as she stopped playing with her hair.
Rebecca then leaned in and I matched her movement by also leaning in 'WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!' my head and my heart screamed to me. But for some reason my lips met Rebecca's and my eyes closed as we kissed 'STOP! YOU'RE ENGAGED TO AARON!' my brain screamed to me but my lips disobeyed and I kissed her back. I suddenly came to my senses and remembered my fiancé. "No" I said as I pulled away from the kiss "We can't do this" I move slightly because I feel uncomfortable.
"Sure we can" Rebecca leaned in again.
"Now's not the right time. We can't do this" I said as I turned my head away from her.
"Stop kidding yourself Robert. I want you and I know that you want me" Rebecca leaned in again.
I pushed her away "No Becks. We can't do this, we need to focus on getting Home farm. Nothing rlse but that matters" I said as I looked into Rebecca's eyes.
"Is that true? So we don't matter to you? Does Aaron not matter to you? He is your fiancé at the end of the day. Or you could turn away from him and choose me instead" Rebecca fluttered her long eyelashes.
"The only thing that matters is getting Home farm. Nothing is worth giving that up" I said as I sat back in my seat.
"Well you mattered to me" Came a rough voice.
I immediately recognised the voice and I turned around "Aaron!" I saw the look of anger on his face and I saw the hurt in his eyes "Hiya Aaron. Err... how long have you been stood there?" I gulped.
"Not that long" Aaron answered bluntly.
"It's not what it looks like. We were just talking" I said quickly.
"You were talking. I heard you when I came downstairs. But then I looked thought the doorway and I saw you kiss her" Aaron explained.
My mouth fell open as I realised that I had been caught "It's not what It looks like. I... I was..." I stuttered.
"Save it. There's nothing that you can say that I can trust." Aaron then looked down and sniffled "Get out" he muttered under his breathe.
"Aaron... jus... just let me explain" I start.
"I said get out!" Aaron snapped. "I want you and your little fling to get out of my house!" he shouted at Robert.
I was dumbstruck. He'd seen everything and he was furious with me "Aaron".
"Don't you Aaron me! I was stood in that doorway and I saw you both kiss each other and you didn't turn away! Your eyes were closed and I saw you kiss her back!" Aaron shouted.
Rebecca stood up "I should go" she walked around the sofa and stopped next to Aaron "I am sorry, Aaron. You weren't meant to see that".
Aaron did not say anything. He just stared at me as a tear rolled down his cheek.
"Aaron, I can explain everything. You mean everything to me, you are everything to me. I'm not sleeping with her... I just..." I quickly explain.
"Don't" Aaron shook his head.
"I am so sorry" Rebecca placed her hand on Aaron's arm but he tore his arm away from her.
"Don't be. You can have him. Now get out of my house you bitch" Aaron snarled.
Rebecca quickly walked out of the back of the Woolpack as Aaron stared down at me.
"How can you say that she can have me? I'm not a toy that you can trade!" I snapped at Aaron.
"I know, but you're not my fiancé either" Aaron shook his head as he took his engagement ring off of his finger and he put it in my hand.
"Please don't do this Aaron. I love you, I want to marry you. Rebecca means nothing to me" I look back up at Aaron.
"By what I've just seen and heard... I don't mean anything to you either. Go get your rich girl. You two deserve each other" Aaron turned away from me.
I quickly stood up and rushed around the sofa "i don't want anyone else. I want you. I love you Aaron" I grabbed his hands.
Aaron pulled his hands out of my grasp "Go and get your stuff and get out of my house before I punch you" he said with no emotion on his face but I could see the pain in his eyes.
"Aaron..." I placed my hands on his shoulders.
Aaron pulled away "Pack your fuckin bags and get out!" he snapped.
I opened my mouth to say something but I could not deny what I had done. I hung my head in shame as I walked passed Aaron and towards the stairs leading upstairs. I turned around and I saw Aaron place his hand over his mouth and turn around, I heard him start to cry before I shamefully walked upstairs to pack my belongings. After thirty minutes I came back downstairs and saw Aaron sat at the table with his hands cupped over his mouth and he was crying. I put my bags down and I walked over to him.
"Aaron, I'm..." I started.
"Don't. Please don't, Robert. You've hurt me enough already" Aaron said as he cried.
I placed my hand on his shoulder and kissed his head. However it just made him cry even more and even harder. It broke my heart to know what I had done to him. I then walked out of the Woolpack with my bags, leaving the man that I'd hurt crying at the dining room table. I walked down the road with my bags and tears streaming down my face. I knocked on my sister's front door and she answered after a few seconds.
"Robert? What's wrong?" Victoria asked.
"I've done something really bad" I sobbed.
"Where's Aaron?" Victoria asked as I walked into her house.
"He saw me and Rebecca kiss. And he's broke up with me" I cried as I collapsed onto the sofa.
"For god's sake Robert." Victoria sighed. "What the hell did you do that for? You've said that you loved him all year and then you go and break his heart?" she sat down on the coffee table.
"I know" I nod my head and look up at my sister "What have I done to him, Vic?"
