No.
The answer was supposed to be 'No'!
"Are you having an affair with her?" No!
I mean, how could I be having an affair with someone I hadn't even met in years!
Why did I have to make it so complicated?
I was really surprised to hear Angela's name after ages. That came up out of nowhere!
I still didn't understand why Alice would even mention her. Did she even know her? Were Jasper and she together before I broke up with Angela or did they start dating after that? I couldn't even remember!
I was pretty sure that my answers had pissed off Isabella, but well, she could have shown a little bit of faith in me. She didn't even give me the full context about what Alice and she had talked about. She just started accusing me!
I was sure she certainly wouldn't have liked it if I had started asking her the same questions in an accusing manner just because some third person had said something to me!
Did you want to marry him?
Did you ever love him?
Do you still love him?
Are you having an affair with him?
Yup, she would have hated it too if I had asked her the same questions with the tone she had used! And that too based on what? Just because Alice said something?
I found myself getting angry again as I recalled those questions. To be honest, the complete lack of faith in her eyes was really disheartening.
Okay, she might have had her doubts because of the condition I had brought up while defining the terms before getting married, but those were different circumstances!
Had I not given her any reason to have the tiniest bit of faith in me?
I wondered what she was doing in the bedroom. Should I go and check?
Or maybe I should just give her time. Yeah, I could give her clarifications when she was actually in the right state of mind to believe me, instead of just accusing me!
That's when I saw her coming with a bag in hand.
"Where the fuck are you going? What? Wait!" I got up immediately.
What? Had she lost her mind? What was fucking wrong with her?
"Isabella, what are you doing? Like, where are you going? What's going on? Why are you overreacting?" I asked.
"I'm not obliged to tell you anything about my whereabouts." she snapped.
Well, okay, I deserved that I guess!
"That's a good one!" I said, "But I'm asking from the... trackability perspective. What if we've an emergency here and I need to reach out to you?"
That was a stupid argument, but it was too late to correct it now.
"I'm not going to any cave. I've my phone with me. You can call me if there's an emergency." she said.
She opened the trunk of her car and threw her bag.
Was she being serious? Like, why? Why was this overreaction? I didn't get it!
"But you said we're going to do something fun this weekend. This is certainly not my definition of 'fun'!" I joked.
Maybe that would stop her? But apparently not! She didn't find it funny at all!
Okay, I guess this was getting out of hand. I wasn't sure why she was behaving like this, but I needed to clarify everything.
"Look, Isabella... I..."
"Yes, I'm leaving so you can have fun as per your definition," she snapped before I could complete my sentence, "But I've a request. When I'm not at home, I don't want anybody else on my bed!"
I was taken aback.
Not just she was accusing me of having an affair, she was also suggesting that I was capable of fucking someone else in our room, on our bed!
That was enough. I also had some self-respect!
"Please don't worry about that." I said, "We have plenty of rooms in the house."
I hoped she realized how angry she had made me.
"Cool, thank you." she said.
Cool? Thank you?
Really?
She had fucking lost her mind. She was acting like a child right now.
"If you want to act like a child and leave like a coward, then well, I can't do anything about it. Go fuck yourself!" I snapped.
Okay, maybe the last part was unnecessary, but I was really angry.
"Why would I do that?" she laughed, "You should remember that the contract that we discussed earlier works both ways! I'm sure I can get someone to fuck me!"
I stared at her with disbelief.
That was a really low blow!
What was she trying to prove here?
Fine, she could fucking do whatever the hell she wanted, I didn't give a damn!
"Cool, I really don't care." I said, "And you know what? You can pull as many shitty stunts as you want, but you're not getting any answers from me!"
"Sure, that's fine with me." She closed the car door and started the car.
I was stunned.
I guess this was a really good reminder of who she was!
I should have known that she would go haywire if something didn't work as she wanted.
How could I forget that she was exactly like Mom!
A fake, pretentious, egoistic, heartless bitch!
