"Don't be Mad Because I don't Care Anymore. Be Mad Because I Once did, and You Were too Blind to See"
Paige's POV
I turn the knob to open the door and when I get inside the sight in front of me took me completely by surprise making me freeze in my spot.
"Hey" She says softly when she sees my lack of reaction. I just stay there looking at her trying to assimilate her presence in the house. It's Friday, she is supposed to be at work. While I was looking at her I could notice that she's been crying, probably all night because I can see her eyes are red and puffy.
"Emily… what are you doing here?" I ask surprise giving a couple steps inside the house. Suddenly Emily's eyes go to a spot behind me and her expression changes completely and I can see her facial features going from soft to hard immediately.
"Last time I check I was living here. The real question is who is SHE? And why is SHE HERE!?" She asks in a harsh tone.
I turn to see Spencer behind me looking at Emily with surprise and then looking at me asking if she should stay or wait outside. I grab her by the arm "please stay" I whisper almost in her ear and I see a smile forming on her lips nodding at me, I turn around again to catch Emily's intense gaze.
"SHE has a name Emily, her name is Spencer and she is my friend, not that I have to give you any kind of explanation" I answer with the same harsh tone.
"A friend…?" She says crossing her arms over her chest
"Yes Emily, MY friend and now if you excuse us we came here to get my things and I'd appreciate that you let us do it as fast as we can" I feel Spencer's hand on my back trying to calm me down and just then I realize how mad I was for Emily's behavior.
Emily was clearly surprise by my response but she would never let it notice, at least not in front of Spencer.
"This is OUR HOUSE and I'm not letting a stranger come inside" She starts to raise her voice "so if you excuse us…" She says looking on Spencer's direction "I would like to have a private conversation with MY wife"
"I told you she is my friend Emily and I won't let you talk to her like that besides you and I have nothing to talk about anymore, unless is about Katy" I blurt out feeling my blood boiling inside, for some reason having Emily in front of me acting like she still has the right to control my life or treat Spencer like that makes me feel anger.
"It's ok Paige I don't want you to get into a fight because of me" I hear Emily huff at Spencer's statement "I'm going to wait for you outside" I turn around before Spencer walk out the door
"No Spencer, you're not going anywhere, if my… if Emily is not able to be respectful with you then we'll came back some other time, we don't have to bear this kind of behavior" I look to Emily's direction and see that she was hurt for taking Spencer's side.
"Please Paige, I promise it's ok with me waiting outside besides you can talk to her and end this in good terms for Katy's sake" Spencer whispers looking at me with pleading eyes and the least I could do was to think about what she said. She is right, after all everything I'm doing is for my daughter.
"Ok" I sigh "I'm going to do this but promise me you're going to wait for me"
"I couldn't be anywhere else" She smiles at me and go outside. I look at her until she gets into the car and I then turn around to look at Emily.
"Seriously Paige? We had a fight last night and you're bringing another woman to our house already, are you doing this to hurt me?
This is unbelievable; something must have happened with the Emily I felt in love with because the person in front of me right now is definitely not that woman or did I never notice her true self…? I'm so confuse.
"Are you kidding me, Emily? Because if you are let me tell you that it's a really bad joke. First of all let me remind you that we didn't 'fight' last night I confronted you because you've been fucking another woman for three fucking months and please don't make me talk about hurt feelings because I can make you a list of all the feelings I have inside right now and it's not going to be pretty"
Emily was startled, she was looking at me with widen eyes and her mouth open. I know this is not what she was expecting but I'm so tired. I don't want to fight anymore, can't she sees that?
"Ok… you're right Paige, I'm sorry I shouldn't act like this with your… friend" her mood change completely now she was using a soft tone "but seeing you with someone else makes me crazy"
I huff "That's ironic!"
"I know you're hurt Paige and I know that everything is my fault, I screwed things up between us but I told you how sorry I'm for what I did. Please believe me when I say that I really love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you and if you give me another change I swear I'm going to spend all that time proving you how much I love you" her tone is so convincing. I wish I could just forget everything and act like nothing happened
"I don't know Emily… you've hurt me big time and be around you, acting like nothing happened, is something I don't think I'm capable of" I say sincerely and notice that Emily was coming closer to me
"Please Paige, give me another chance. We are a family; you, me and our baby girl" she says lowering her voice into a sensual tone, she was just a few inches away from me now but close enough to smell her perfume, the same perfume that's been driving me crazy all these years "we can go through all of this" she gives a step closer "I love you" another step "I want you" another one "and I know you love me as much as I do" there was no space between us anymore. I catch her intense gaze and I can feel her breath; so close, so warm and the walls I put around me start to fall down. I'm so lost on those beautiful brown eyes that I can't think straight anymore, she still has power over me and the worst part is that she knows it. She leans in and all I can feel next was her soft lips on mine. I swear I tried my best to resist her but I couldn't, I close my eyes and just left myself go.
The kiss starts slowly but when Emily felt that I didn't pull away, she puts her left hand behind my head and brushes her tongue gently against my bottom lip. I respond by opening my mouth and allowing Emily to slip her tongue inside. I lean hard into her body as she ran her fingers through my hair. She starts to walk to the sofa and without breaking the kiss, carefully guide me downward until I was lying underneath her. Emily moves her knee upward, between my legs until it made contact with the denim fabric of my jeans and I can feel now an all too familiar ache and sudden rush of heat between my legs as Emily was kissing my neck and throat. Emily's hands sink down my waist as she searches for the button on my jeans. Just when she was about to undo my jeans, we were interrupt by the sound of my phone.
"Don't answer that" she says still kissing my neck
The ringing of my phone was persistent, making me react and recover my sanity.
"Emily stop, it could be important" I say putting my hand on her chest and partially sitting up while she growls in frustration. I look at the caller ID and see that it was Carol who was calling.
"Yes Carol, what is it?" I answer still trying to recover my breath
"I'm sorry for bother you Mrs. McCullers, but Katy is crying because she wants to go back to your house. Should we wait here or should I take her home?"
"No, please. Tell her to wait there with you I'm going to pick her up in a bit"
"Ok, Mrs. McCullers I will"
"Thank you" we end up the call
Emily was paying attention to the conversation "Is everything ok with Katy?"
"Yeah, everything is fine; she just wants to come home"
"Then let her come, we could order some food and eat while we watch a movie" I shake my head giving her a negative answer
"I'm going to pick her up in a few minutes to talk to her about our break up. I need to explain her myself that we are not going to live together anymore" Emily look at me with sadness in her eyes
"But… I thought… Paige I know you want this as much as I do, you just show me that a few minutes ago" She says almost pleading
"I'm sorry if I gave you a wrong idea but that shouldn't have happened Emily, it was a big mistake" I said with a firm tone
"Don't apologize Paige, we love each other and this a sign that we can move on and start again"
"No Emily, we can't. I'm sorry I got carried away but all of this is not going to disappear all of a sudden. You broke my heart Emily… and my trust. I will always have this… anger inside me and I don't want to carry that kind of weight on my shoulders. I'm sorry"
"You're giving up on us" Her eyes are getting wet
"No Emily, for the first time in my life I'm thinking in what is best for me"
"Come on Paige, we can fight this"
"I don't want to fight anymore" Emily looks at me, now with tears in her eyes "I'm done fighting. I've used so much energy fighting that I'm worry I would have nothing left to live for and I can't aloud myself that, not when I have a daughter who depends on me. I'm sorry Emily but I'm not going to change my mind I'm leaving this house for good" we're both crying at this point, maybe because we are conscious that we're having a closure that neither of us was expecting
"This is not you Paige; this is not the woman I know"
"You're right Emily this is not the woman you know, this…" I say pointing to myself "is the woman I've become because of you" I didn't wait for Emily's response; I just turn around, head through the door and go outside without looking back.
Ok guys, you know what to do. I would love to know what you think. See ya!
