Chapter 5

If there was anything Desiree hated more than war, then it was the awkwardness of driving with someone in complete silence. She stole glances every so often but she could feel the tension between them growing. She wanted to find the right words to bring up Laura but at the same time, he also wanted to find the right words to bring up Mark.

“So, were you meeting Mark at the café?” he asked without looking at her. Desiree was a bit irritated by his question. He knew of her history with Mark. Why would he ever think that she had gone there to meet him? What for?

“Why the hell would you ask that?” she asked looking at him. “I don’t understand why you are acting like this. I have nothing to hide Taylor. Unlike you,” she said without looking at him.

“What the hell is that supposed to mean? We are talking about you and how men from your past keep on showing up in your life,” he said as they turned the last corner before getting to Desiree’s apartment building. She looked at him and shook her head.

“And you think I wanted to see them? You think I made the call and actually asked if Leon could come over on the same day that you were supposed to be coming for dinner? How stupid do you think I am?” she asked angrily.

“Hey, those are your words, not mine,” he said as they pulled over in front of the apartment building.

“Did you just call me stupid, Ericson?” Desiree asked in disbelief.

“Like I said, your words not mine,” he said again. Desiree looked at him and laughed cynically.

“Why the hell do you think you can be so condescending like you are so perfect yourself?” she asked angrily. Taylor turned and looked at her.

“What the hell are you talking about?” he asked.

“Me being ambushed at my place of work by a brunette who says she is your wife,” she said matter-of-factly. Taylor raised an eyebrow as he looked at her. That was obviously not something he expected to hear.

“Dee, what are you talking about?” he asked still looking at her.

“Laura came to see me at work today,” Desiree said without batting an eyelid. Taylor looked at her, surprised.

“She what?” Desiree nodded.

“Hi kettle. I’m pot,” she said sarcastically as she stretched out her hand for a handshake.

“Why would she do that?” he asked, a faraway look on his face. Desiree could hardly believe it. She snapped her fingers angrily in his face.

“Helloo! Your girlfriend has just told you that she got a visit from your wife and the only thing you can think about is why she would do that? In my opinion, you have bigger fish to fry, Ericson,” she said as she unbuckled her seat belt. Taylor placed a hand on hers and looked at her.

“What are you doing?” he asked looking at her.

“Going home. I would rather be there than here,” she said, yanking her hand away. She opened the door and quickly walked towards the building without looking back.
