I couldn't believe what he just told me. "Are you sure?"
He nodded. "When I walked in they were in the act. I got angry and pulled him off her and punched him in the face. I lost my temper. Janine tried to explain but I left and came straight here."
I hugged him and held onto him tight. We both were crying.
Narvel and I have been married for 26 years, I gave him my everything. I have never cheated on him, never even thought about it. Why would he do this to me?
We both looked up when the door opened, Narvel walked in. I felt Ronnie tense up. He started to get up and go towards Narvel but I stopped him. "What are you doing here?" I asked Narvel.
He walked up towards us. Ronnie was standing behind me. "What are you talking about, Reba? I live here remember? We're married."
I laughed. "Yeah, I should ask you the same thing. You're the one out cheating."
"What are you talking about why would I cheat on you?"
Ronnie tried to get past me but I again stopped him. I held him back as best as I could, I know he was upset. "Ronnie said he caught you in bed with Janine."
"And you believed him? He's lying, he only wants to split us up to get in bed with you." This time Ronnie had to stop me from going at Narvel.
"You're a lying, cheating, scumbag. I would never do that to Reba." said Ronnie. He walked right up to narvel and got into his face.
Narvel put his face close to Ronnies. "Maybe if you knew how to keep your woman happy, she wouldn't have to find it in someone else." Ronnie lost it and started punching Narvel. Narvel was quick though, and started fighting back.
"STOP! Stop it you two." I tried to pull them off each other, but both were too strong for me.
I finally was able to get Narvel away and pushed him towards the door. "I want you to get out of my house right now. Do me a favor and don't come back either. Go be with your mistress."
He opened the door and left. I turned around and looked back to Ronnie who was standing behind me looking towards the door. He had a black eye starting to show, and his shirt was ripped in places.
I walked past him and went into the kitchen to get an ice pack out for his face. When I came back into the living room, Ronnie was sitting on my couch with his head in his hands. I came and sat by him and wrapped my arms around his shoulders and put my head on his.
I felt his pain. I couldn't believe this was happening. There was no signs that this was happening.
He looked up at me and smiled a little at me. I smiled back. "I got you an ice pack for your face."
"Thanks." he took the pack from me and put it to his face. I sat back down on the couch and just stared into space.
"What are we going to do now?" I asked.
"I'm going to divorce her. She already told me she doesn't want to be with me, she wants Narvel."
"What about your daughters?"
"They will be fine, I will always be there for them."
We talked and comforted each other for a few hours. I told him he could stay with me since he didn't really have anywhere to go. He went back to his home to get his stuff.
The next morning we both went to the local court house to file paper for divorce. I had told Shelby what happened, and he was very angry with his dad over what he done. He was very supportive of me. I love him so much, I truly raised a great son.
We had called over Kix. He is a great friend to both of us, and we wanted him to know this from us. He came over shortly after we called him.
We sat down at my table in the kitchen. I had made some chicken alfredo and we had just finished eating. We didn't talk much while we ate. We didn't' mention anything about what happened, we were going to tell him after we ate.
"So, why did you guys call me over here?" Kix asked.
I looked over to Ronnie, who sighed and looked down at the table. I looked back to Kix who noticed Ronnies behavior. He made eye contact with me and gave me a worried look. "Ronnie caught Janine in bed with Narvel this morning."
"Are you serious?" Kix looked shocked. Ronnie nodded, still not looking up from the table.
"Unfortunately, yes." I said. "Narvel came over here this afternoon while Ron was still here, and tried to deny it, but basically told the truth later. Ronnie got into a little tussle with him."
"Is that why you have a black eye?"
"Yeah, I got a few good hits on him though." Ronnie said as he smiled up at Kix.
"I'm really sorry for you two, I can't believe they would do this."
"Neither can we." I said as I shook my head.
"Reba is letting me stay at her house for awhile until I get things figured out. We both went to the courthouse this morning and filed for divorces."
Kix nodded. "Well, I should head back home. If you guys need anything, please don't hesitate to ask." we all stood up and we told Kix we would, and said our goodbyes.
