Prompt of the Week - 'Love on Top', Beyonce
Married life was exactly what Adrian thought it'd be.
Every time he saw his wife, he saw Tracey. Every time they kissed, he imagined he was kissing Tracey and more than once he'd called out Tracey's name whilst making love. He tried with all his might to forget his one true love but Catherine's mannerisms reminded him of Tracey, and it all came flooding back to him: the stolen kisses, the sweet caresses and the sound of her voice calling out his name.
Each week that passed without her caused him more and more pain until one day he'd had enough, he had to be with her. She was the one he loved, and she was the one he needed, not Catherine.
It was a regular enough night and Adrian was fixing drinks for both him and Catherine.
'Do you love me, Adrian?' she asked, as she lounged on the futon.
'Yes,' Adrian replied with a straight face, as he slipped the poison into her drink.
His last lie was to his wife, but it set him free.
