We stood there eyeing each other up. Avoiding his eyes, I immediately felt angry at myself. I hadn't done anything wrong – if anything HE should be the one avoiding MY eyes. I steeled myself, raised my eye to his level and looked him straight in the face. I tried to block out his tear streaked face and the fact that he'd returned at 11.30pm. Neither of us moved as I addressed him coolly. I noticed his eyes fall on the on the passport that was now in my hand. I waited for him to speak, almost challenging him to say something to me. I ignored the gut wrenching pain that was now squeezing my heart. I focused on breathing in and out, attempting to ease the pain or at least postpone it to a time where I could actually express the true hurt that I felt.

"Sy-"

"DON'T".

Closing the gap, I walked up to him, reaching around for the door handle. I saw a muscled arm blocking my exit.

"You're not going anywhere until you've heard me out".

I saw red.

"HEARD you out? Are you actually kidding me? I SAW you KISSING another man. I SAW you with my own eyes. Are you going to try and convince me that I'm blind or that I was seeing things? Or maybe you've seen the light now".

I pulled back as he touched me. What – HOW could he cheat on me? I gave him everything. I really let myself fall for him.

"I never cheated on you Syed. I promise you that much".

Seeing the image engraved in my mind, I shook my head. I scanned his face before realising that I didn't recognise it anymore.

"You stand there and you lie to my face. I don't know you at all". I shook my head sadly.

"Yes you do Syed. I'm still your Christian. He came onto me, I swear. I didn't even get a chance to push him away before you saw it. I would NEVER look at another man, why would I when you're everything I want? Everything I love. Please, you have to believe me".

"You're good I'll give you that much. Maybe the small fact that you don't normally invite clients back home is a gaping hole in your story".

"There's a reason for that. Ray-".

"Oooooh RAY is it now"? I sneered. "Are we all pally pally with RAY?".

"Oh come you KNOW it's not like that".

"No I'M in the wrong aren't I. You cheat on your partner, kiss another MAN in what's meant to be our home no less- and yet I'M in the wrong. That's a bit rich isn't it".

I followed him with my eyes as he walked in a half semi-circle around me, with a somewhat incredulous look on his face. Seizing my chance, I grabbed the door handle, spinning to face him for the final time.

I gazed at his eyes, drinking the image in off him for the last time. I wanted to hurt him like he'd hurt me. I wanted him to know just an OUCE of the pain that I would experience in the minutes, hours, days to come.

"Please don't go. I love you."

"Guess what? You don't know the meaning of the word".

His eyes filled with tears and I dismissed the urge to hug him and comfort him.

"I really thought we had something special. But you know what"?

"What"? His voice fell from his lips on a mere whisper.

"My parents. They were right about you."

I waited for no more than 3 seconds before turning and fleeing out the flat. Just long enough to see him crumble and my words take an effect on him. Just long enough to hurt him the way he'd hurt me. Everything. It'd come to nothing.
