Trahison-p5

"– Hey Seth, d'you know where R..." Kirsten hadn't finished her question before she opened the Seth's bedroom door to find him wrapped up in a brunette girl's arms, who she'd never seen before.

"– Um…hey mom, um… this is …Ma…Manon" he tried to pronounce it with a French accent but it must have been completely wrong cause all that the girl did in reply was laugh at him, obviously making fun of his really bad French.

"– Bonjour Madame…"was all Kirsten understood before she was jittering off in French, a language that Kirsten was not very good at.

"– Eh, listen mom, with what is happening with you and dad, I sort of needed to stop stressing

– So you had to go and throw yourself in the arms of the first girl come?" Kirsten was trying to keep her calm, but it was proving to be harder than she thought.

"– Um…she was actually the second girl that I saw" Seth as usual tried to smooth things over with humor.

In response, Kirsten just gave him a glare, walked out of the room and just nearly missed bumping into Ryan.

"– Please Ryan, tell me you haven't come back with some girl that you don't know but have to be with to "stop stressing" about what's happening with me and Sandy" Kirsten said quickly in one breath.

"– Eh…I'm alone" Ryan hesitated with a strange look on his face.

"– Thank God!"

Ryan opened Seth's door:

"– Hey man…sorry didn't want to interrupt"

Later that day:

"Ding-dong"

"– I'll get it" Kirsten yelled out to no one in particular. She opened the door to be standing face to face with the one and only: Rachel.

"– Kirsten…" she tried but the door had already slammed in her face.

"– Kirsten please, I need to talk to you" Rachel raised her voice to be able to be heard through the door.

"– Kirsten, please open the door"

Rachel waited a few minutes but the door didn't open so she turned around and drove away. Kirsten heard a car engine and looked out of the window just in time to see Rachel turn out of her drive.

'What did she want?' Kirsten wondered before walking away to grab the phone and order for tea.

"– Seth, we need to talk" Kirsten announced once all three of them were sat down at the table eating Chinese.

"– Mum, I know what you think and I know I'm in the wrong and I just wanted to sy that I'm really sorry, even though she was a nice girl" Seth lowered his voice for the last bit but Kirsten still heard.

"– Seth, I know she was probably nice, it's just that you can't go after a girl every time something doesn't go how you wanted it to"

Seth agreed with a nod of the head and they quickly changed subject.

The next morning, Kirsten woke up and reached out to cuddle up to her husband but as her hand felt air, all the events of the past week came flooding back to her. Once she was all set for work, she walked out of the house just before picking up the post.

'Bills, bills, work, more work, huh what's this?' Kirsten held in her hands an envelope without a stamp or even address there was just written "Kirsten" in big on it. At first Kirsten thought it might be Sandy but it wasn't his writing.

She quickly opened it and looked at the bottom where it was signed "Rachel". 'Oh no, not her again' Kirsten thought. She didn't know what to do with it: read it or throw it away. She took ten minutes trying to decide but finally the curiosity got the better of her.

Kirsten,

Please read what I have to say before tearing this letter up, if that's what you want to do. You have every right to be furious against me and if I were you, I would be too. I just want you to know one thing: it was me who started kissing Sandy. It was the first time we kissed and Sandy tried to push me back but I persisted and for doing that I am so sorry. If I'd have stopped when he'd asked me to no one would have had any problems. You must be asking yourself why I'm telling you all of this and I have one simple reason: I care about Sandy. Since you two are not living together he's lost all enthusiasm about work and looks ten years older. You can tell when he's thinking about you cause he gets a twinkle in his eyes and his whole face lights up. That twinkle's been around a lot lately but you can still see he's really sad.

I know it's probably not for me to say this but: get back together. I was about to write "forgive him" but what would you have to forgive him for? For not wanting to cheat on you? For loving you and your joint family? Please think about what I've written and call him.

My sincerest apologies,

Rachel

Kirsten's head was full of questions 'Was what she'd said true? If so, what should she do?' she thought quickly then grabbed her cell out of her handbag and dialed.

"Hi dad, it's me. I'm taking the day off okay?"

A.N: Hey guys, I'm back again (unfortunately for you!). Sorry if I'm long but I've got exams at the minute so I'm like spending every free moment revising. Also just a special "pensée" to Manon who actually exists. You rock! It didn't do much to the story but Manon pleaded me to put her in it with Seth! And once I've posted this, I'll have to translate it all into French for her to understand! Oh sweet life! Oh well see ya and luv ya all!
