Dark affairs

"Did you have feelings for him?" Jack asks and his grip on me loosens a bit.

As we're having a heart to heart I want to be truthful so I sigh deeply and look up to him.

"Yeah, Jack. It was more to me than just a hookup. You know how he can steal your heart and just walk away with it, there was nothing I could do. And then he ends it all telling me it never meant anything to him. So that left me broken and sad. I guess you can relate to that but I'm over it now. Honestly the only thing I feel towards him is anger that he made a move on my boyfriend. He is unbelievable." I shake my head annoyed.

Jack pulls me closer again and searches my eyes to find a lie but there is none, I spoke the truth and when he realises he smiles and pecks my lips before he lays his head on top of mine and whispers. "I had no idea we had so much in common, Mickey."

I guess Alex played us both in the same way.

"Come on Jack, its late, I have work tomorrow and you got rehearsals, let's go to bed."

I get up from the kitchen floor and shove the pile of junk back into the drawers. Jack looks at me with a cocked brow, confusion written all over his face.

"I'm leaving this to sort out the next time I'm freaking out." I grin but I have a feeling that's just around the corner.

We go to my bedroom and get ready for the night in silence each wrapped up in their own thoughts.

Then we slip under the sheets, put out the lights and I'm about to fall asleep when I hear him whisper.
"Mickey, please stay with me, I don't wanna loose you."

I turn towards him and place a soft kiss on his lips. "You won't, Jack. I promise."
......

The next morning I'm in a rush to get ready because I woke up late again, while Jack takes his time as he is having breakfast with his friend Nano in town later on. Although we don't talk much, the air seems cleared and we say a heartfelt goodbye to each other.

Work was the usual and I came back home early undecided of what to do later.
Jack had called me several times, begging me to come see him at rehearsals. I wasn't really looking forward to meet with Alex again. But Jack argued that we would have to sort things out sooner or later.

Currently I was sitting in my kitchen having a cup of tea when there was a knock at the front door.
It is probably my next door neighbour I think. She is a lovely old lady that constantly brings me her left over food because she thinks I cannot cook for myself which is true but I would never admit it to her.

I open the door and there's Alex with a big bunch of flowers clutched to his chest and the eyes of a kicked puppy.

"What's up with the flowers these days" I grumble as I rudely rip the bouquet from his grasp and walk back to the kitchen putting them into a vase and setting them next to the roses Jack got me a few days ago.

When I turn around Alex has followed me into the kitchen and he holds out his arms apologetic.
"Mickey I want to say I'm sorry." He starts "Jack told me you saw us yesterday.."

"No Alex" I shout and slam my hands onto the counter. He jumps in surprise looking at me with wide eyes.

"You think every time you are out of line you can come here and apologise and I forgive and forget?
That's just not on. You have your relationship and we have ours so what were you trying to do? Break us up? Why? And don't tell me you don't know and it just came over you, that's bullshit and we both know it." My anger is slowly boiling up and I stare him down to get him to tell me the truth.

He looks at me for a moment then groans and starts to pace the kitchen while running his hands through his hair.

"God dammit Mickey! Lisa and I have been together for 10 years she is my best friend she keeps me grounded, keeps me sane, I need her to keep my demons at bay. It was always clear that we would marry one day, she is the perfect wife and she will be the perfect mother to my children."

Towards the end of his speech he was starting to get louder sounding more annoyed.

I had no idea what that had to do with anything he did recently apart from maybe an explanation why he dumped me but now I was getting really fed up with his attitude so I yelled back.

" Okay then Alex, FINE! Go have your picture perfect life with a beautiful house in the suburbs, your perfect little wife, a picket fence, 1.5 children, a dog and an SUV. I would have never guessed you would fancy the ordinary, but whatever, I don't care. Just leave us the fuck alone!"

If I would have been in a comic you would have seen steam coming out of my ears by now but actually there was nothing comical about this situation.

He steps closer to me and grabs me by the forearms his eyes blaze with anger. "Fuck! You don't understand! " he shakes me as if to get my attention. Then he suddenly lets go and turns around.

He looks up at the ceiling and then his voice cracks as he adds "she is all those things but she is not the one I desire!"

I'm baffled for a moment contemplating if that is just all good acting on his side because we all know he is very good at displaying emotions even if they are not real but then I realise that it doesn't change anything either way.

So I grab his arm and drag him to the door with little resistance on his side.

"That is all nice and well, Alex but honestly," Here I open the door and push him over the threshold

"I DONT CARE !"

With that I slam the door in his face and walk away.
