We let go of each other and he started to leave.
"Wait!" I yelled after him. What am I doing?
He stopped and turned back towards me, I walked up to him and kissed him. Seriously, what am I doing?
I could tell that was not what he was expecting, but he kissed me back almost immediately. My heart stopped when I heard the front door open and close. We separate and turn to look at the door and my fear was confirmed, it was Narvel.
He just stood there for a moment in shock. I didn't know what to do, or what to say. I looked to Ronnie who just looked at me, he didn't know what to do either.
"You're home early." I said, trying to give him a smile.
"Yeah, I wanted to surprise you. What's going on here?" he asked as he came a little closer. Ronnie and I were standing near the entrance of the kitchen.
I really didn't know how to respond to that without starting something.
"I came over to talk to Reba." Ronnie said for me. I nodded.
Narvel crossed his arms in front of his chest. "Doesn't look like you were just 'talking'" I could tell he was mad.
"Ronnie, I think you should go home." I said to him.
"Ok, I will talk to you later." he said to me.
"No, you won't." Narvel walked up to Ronnie before he left. "You leave her alone."
Ronnie crossed his arms like Narvel had done. "Karma's a bitch, isn't it."
Narvel sucker punched Ron, I ran over and pulled them from each other.
Ronnie just smirked at Narvel.
"Ronnie, just leave, I will talk to you later." I said to him, he left. Narvel watched him the whole time he left.
He turned to me. "What was that about? Why did you kiss him?" he asked me.
I could feel myself tear up. "it's not what you think."
"What? I didn't just see you kiss him in our house?"
I looked away, I couldn't look him in the eye.
"Look at me, Reba. Tell me I didn't just see you kiss him." he said to me.
I looked at him and started to cry. "I did kiss him."
Narvel rubbed his face with his hand. "Why?"
"I still love him, Narvel." I hated to tell him that.
I could see he was really hurt. "I'm sorry." I said to him as I tried to hug him, he just backed away.
"Don't." he said to me. "I need a minute, just leave me be."
He grabbed his keys and left
