Loraine

28

I sat down in a chair on the other side of the waiting room, purposely keeping my distance from Leon, who was reading a magazine with his legs crossed. We’d been living under the same roof for the past two months, but I slept in the master bedroom and he stayed in the guestroom. Not that he liked our arrangement, but what choice did he have? He could either live by my rules or get the hell out, ‘cause I was done. As far as I was concerned, all he was good for was as an occasional escort to a party. Once I won the election, I was going to find me someone else. Shit, I didn’t really even know why I’d agreed to come here today other than, as he put it, to call his bluff.

“Mr. and Mrs. Farrow, you can come in now,” a well-dressed sister in her early fifties said as she stood by the door. I glanced across the room at Leon, who smiled at me confidently. I rolled my eyes. What the heck was he smiling about? He was the one who was about to be put on blast for cheating on me.

You see, this all started about a week ago, when Leon escorted me to my sorority’s annual ball. I have to give him credit; when he wanted to, Leon could be a first-class asset. Not only did he place me on a pedestal and make every person in the room think we were the happiest couple they’d ever met, but also every time I pointed out someone who might not vote for me, he’d ease his way over and work her husband, inviting him to play golf or go fishing on his boat. He’d even set up a husbands’ poker game. I can’t begin to tell you how well this worked, because the next thing I knew, their wives were all up in my face, trying to set up lunches and teas.

Not that his kindness was new. He’d been doing the same thing at home. He’d been so nice to me as of late, you’d think he was running for Pope, the way he was cooking, cleaning, and running my errands. That night, he must have told me a thousand times how beautiful and sexy I looked. I can’t lie; we both had a really good time. Under normal circumstances, he would have gone to sleep a very happy man; but when we got home, to his surprise, it was his and hers bedrooms again. You should have heard him begging and pleading for me to give him another chance. I didn’t pay him no mind. I just went upstairs and closed my door.

About a half hour later, there was a knock on my bedroom door, which I now kept locked just for this reason.

“Hey, Loraine, can you open the door, please?” he pleaded.

“What do you want? Go to bed.” I hated when he did this, always when I was almost asleep. I covered my head with a pillow.
