Aftermath part 2
Adrian felt her stomach churning, from nerves as she sat at home waiting for Omar to come over. She tapped her foot up and down, in order to control her nerves. She had cooked macaroni and cheese, for she and Omar. Everything goes down better with food she told herself. Adrian felt terrible for what she had done to Omar because of everything he was going through. She looked back at their relationship though and things had been rocky before his father was sick. Sometimes they would get in to fights and days would go by when Omar didn't speak to her because he was angry and then he did come around she'd always end up being the one who had to apologise.
The doorbell rang, and it was Omar, Adrian took a deep breath and held her head up high to go see him.
"Hey Adrian, I missed you it smells so good in here" Omar said.
" It's your favourite, its mac and cheese" Adrian said.
"Thank you"
Omar gave her a kiss on the cheek and the two sat down. Omar began to talk about his father and how he was doing, and about having dinner with their family and everything. Adrian felt the guilt build up inside of her, she could barely keep her food. Omar kept rambling on and she just couldn't take it anymore.
" So what about you Adrian, what did you get up today?" Omar asked.
" I…uhh"
" Is..everything okay Adrian? You look like you're going to be sick? Are you sure you're okay?"
"I slept with Ricky! Okay I did and I'm sorry okay, I just don't know what came over me, Omar please just say something yell at me"
Omar pulled his hand away from Adrian and remained silent for a few minutes. He had noticed that Adrian was distance lately but tried to ignore it because he had a lot going on with his father. He was so furious that she would sleep with Ricky again of all people and still had feelings for him.
"When did this happen?"
"After the wedding, I was going over to yell at him for being a jerk"
"But then you ended up in bed with him?" Omar asked with a confused look on his face.
"Adrian I thought you were past all that stuff, the fooling around with guys who broke your heart"
" I know and I didn't plan on anything happening between us, but it just did and I'm so sorry for hurting you, you deserve so much better." Adrian said with tears rolling down her eyes.
"Adrian you're right I deserve better and so do you, you shouldn't be with you're not totally in love with. I would say that we should be friends, but I don't think I can do that."
"So you're not mad?" Adrian asked curiously
"No I'm furious! I can't believe you did this with Ricky! I can't even look at you right now, and here I was feeling guilty for not paying attention to you."
After Omar calmed down for a bit, he began to speak " But even though I am furious, I shouldn't be because I haven't been totally honest, I got drunk and I ended up going home with one of my brother's friends. "
Adrian looked at Omar in disbelief and shaking her head, it was unbelievable all this time she had been feeling guilty about what she did when Omar had already cheated on her.
"When did that happen?"
" It was when we got into that fight after I proposed to you and you said it wasn't the right time and then I thought we should have a break to figure out what we wanted."
" So you went out and got drunk! And left me feeling guilty for not saying yes to you! I can't believe you've hidden this from me the whole time" Adrian yelled.
" Adrian I was hurt and I felt rejected by you and I was stupid, but we were taking things slow!'
"We weren't broke up! I never said no but you couldn't take it because you can't take it when things don't go exactly your way, and you made me feel guilty for so long because I didn't accept your proposal. "
Omar shook his head in disbelief "I can't believe your turning this me on me when you cheated on me."
"We both were wrong Omar, at least I told you straight away" Adrian said softly.
" I know, and I wish things went differently but they didn't, so goodbye Adrian"
"Goodbye Omar"
Omar left, and Adrian was still reeling with this news that she found out about Omar, after all this time she had felt guilty but he had done the same thing. As bad as she felt for Omar, she knew they were done for good and she didn't feel guilty about that.
