âI saw it printed in the paper, Amelia,â I tell her. She is pacing back and forth in front of the sofa where Iâve planted myself. My eyes hurt from all of the tears that Iâve shed over this and I know if I look in the mirror Iâll see a hot mess staring back at me.
âIâm going to kill him.â Her hands are clenched into fists at her sides. She is a mama bear. She can go from Let me do your hair to Iâll fuck someone up in about .2 seconds.
I sniffle. Iâve calmed down some since I got here. Something about watching Amelia be mad for me has gotten me to stop crying. At least for the moment.
âWhat did Kim say?â I ask. Itâs so hard to believe that heâd do this. The way he touched me. The way he made love to me. It felt so real. I canât imagine that it was fake. Maybe I was his last fling before he got married. I feel mortified at being the other woman. It makes me sick to my stomach to think that heâs made me that. I may not have liked the catty blonde in his office but even she didnât deserve this.
âIâm not talking to her right now.â She stops pacing to look at me. âShe shouldn't have set you up with him when I suggested it.â
âMaybe she doesn't know?â
âHa! She is always on his ass about his dating life. Those two are best friends at the end of the day. Their fights are just how they play together. If he is dating someone she knows about it.â
âShe might hate the girl?â I try again. Still thereâs no excuse for her setting me up with him if she knew that he was already with someone else. Again, I know the woman is cold. I picked up on it as soon as I saw her. Sheâd slipped from one person to another. It was strange to watch. I was only now putting together how odd her behavior was. Iâve been so upset that I havenât had a chance to process everything that happened. Iâm sitting here playing it all over and over in my head. Maybe the blonde was upset too, which made her act oddly. I couldn't imagine being engaged to Max and finding out that heâd spent a night with another woman. Not only that but he had the audacity to bring me into the office for everyone to see. Itâs probably the real reason he took me into his office so early. That way no one would see us together and we wouldn't run into her.
âItâs still not okay.â Amelia agrees with my silent thought.
âWhat did he say to you on the phone?â I tuck my feet under me, reaching for a tissue.
âThatâs what I donât understand. Iâm good at reading people. When I talked to him last night he was so smitten with you. It was adorable. So I decided to let him live.
