EIGHTEEN

“I would do anything for you.”

Barely a whisper, the words almost echoed off the walls.

He was out of town for the weekend and you came over, snuck in, and we had sex in the bed he paid for.

It felt like blasphemy for you to say those words in his rooms. And that was what delighted me about it. Never once then did I think that I might live and die by the sword.

You kissed me and pulled away, laughing.

“I can’t wait until all of this is gone,” you gestured toward the room. “Until you’re all mine and I can have you any time I want you.”

I laughed coyly, trying to put off more conversations about the future. The planning hurt me because it felt like it would never come to fruition. Any time you were about to leave her, something would come up and I’d be devastated all over again.

I’d decided that I wasn’t going to get my hopes up. If it was going to happen, it would happen.

“We could go away together,” you suggested.

I laughed.

“Someday,” I said.

“One day soon,” you insisted. You leaned up on your elbow and kissed the back of my hand. “You know I’d do anything for you, right?”

“Leave your wife?”

The words came out even though I’d meant to only think them. I think they’d been sitting there in the back of my throat, biding their time for the right moment to sting.

You looked hurt, but you didn’t deny me my barb.

You knew it was valid.

“I’d do more than that,” you said. “Anything. Anything at all. And we will be together,” you assured me. “After everything is in order. It’s just a matter of time.”

I said nothing.

I was so naïve to have fallen in love with you. My life was good. There was nothing wrong with it. I was comfortable and taken care of. I had a husband that loved me and a house to come home to and make my own. I should have told you to go fuck yourself right then and there.

We wouldn’t be in this mess now if I had.

But there was something about you that always kept me coming back. That kept me from letting go completely. No matter how much you hurt me with your broken promises.

I looked over at you and reached for your face. I traced the chiseled outline of your jaw and touched the hard line of your lips. You kissed my fingertip.

“I would do anything for you, too,” I said.

“Leave him?” you asked, echoing my question from earlier.

I smiled.

“Whenever you’re ready,” I said.

“Soon,” you assured me.

That spring passed and the two of us saw each other more and more frequently. At one point, we had to slow down, both of us feeling that if we continued at that pace, our spouses would grow suspicious.

Every meeting felt like something out of a mob movie. The two of us pulling up next to each other in abandoned strip mall parking lots. Meeting behind your gym before it opened, having slipped out of bed claiming I was going to work out.
