“You fucked him already, didn’t you?”
“It’s none of your business!” I scream in his face.
“It is my fucking business. Before we married, you fucked anyone with a dick, and now you’re back to doing the same damn thing.”
“Who fucking cares?! And I’m not fucking everyone, just Preston. But if I wanted to fuck everyone in town, I would! And you can’t stop me. Now let me go.” I pull my arm out of his hold and move back from him. “I don’t want to hurt you, Chris, but we’re over.Done. I’m moving on with my life, and you need to as well.”
A muscle in his jaw ticks and I know in this moment he’s going to ruin every single thing we ever had together. “Fuck you, Trixie. I’m glad we lost Lola, I’m glad I fucked Lacey and made a child with her. Only thing I regret right now is ever marrying you.” I haul my arm back and slap him across his face.
“How dare you say that about Lola. How fucking dare you. I stood by you for years. While we were dating and I knew you were fucking around. I knew about the night before we got married. I could have left before I put my dress on that morning, but I didn’t. I believed that once we were settled, it would be just us. I was so wrong about you. Eleven years of my life, wasted on trash. And by the way asshole, Preston is my unicorn. He’s the only man that’s ever been able to make me come with his dick inside me.” Therapy helped me see that Chris and I weren’t meant to be together for the long haul. When we were dating, the signs were all there, but we both went through with it, when we really shouldn’t have. Once we signed that marriage license, we tried. Losing Lola was the first phase of our final breaking point.
Him having Lita with Lacey, was officially the end.
I move to open my door but Chris’s arm stretches in front of me. “Fuck, Trixie, I didn’t mean to say that shit, I’m just pissed.”
“Yeah, well, it doesn’t matter now. Move, I’m going home.”
He steps back away from me and lets me go. “For the record, Chris. I did love you, faults and all. But we’re not meant for each other.”
His head hangs down in shame, and a tear falls down his face. I drive away and notice a few people from the diner were coming out, probably hearing our altercation.
Chapter 27
Chris
Ireally have lost her for good. Trixie even threw my past indiscretions in my face and that hurt. Although I don’t know why she didn’t bring up her own. I wasn’t the only one that slept around before our wedding. We both were dysfunctional towards each other, but once we married everything changed. We no longer were the fucked-up mess we once were. I never even looked at another woman once I made her my wife, until that awful night with Lacey.
“Everything okay out here?” a voice calls from the diner.
I wave whoever that was off and stalk back to my car. There is no point in me staying in this town any longer. My brother moved to Grand Prairie, and the rest of my family is scattered around British Columbia. I only stayed in Airdrie for Trixie, not wanting to move her away from her family.
Now that it was official, we were over and there was no chance I can win her back, I need to leave. Lita and I need to go somewhere else and start over. Otherwise, I’ll never be able to move on from Trixie. I’ll see her around town with Thrane. Just thinking about that kills me. And what if she starts a family with him? I can’t be around for that.
I head home, thanking Jess for watching Lita for me. Once she leaves, I start placing some calls. Fourth call I made is to a dealership in Surrey BC, and they said I can start in a month, once I put in my notice, they will start the transferring process. I hang up, thanking them, and go turn on my computer and type up my resignation letter.
Joel might be pissed about this, since he already has to hire a new service manager and a new tower operator. Allan will probably finally make up his mind on he wants to do, since he’s been talking for a while now about moving to BC, to be closer to his and Jess’s family. Maybe I can convince him to apply where I’ll be going.
If I sell the house, I wonder if Trixie will at least let me give her part of the sale? I call my lawyer up and ask her this. “Well, the papers have already been filed, so we can’t add anything else to it, we should actually be getting the official divorce certificate this week.”
“But what if I sell and just go to the bank and have them deposit it into her account?”
“Well, you could do that I guess, but you would have to have her bank information?”
Shit, I don’t have that. “Could I send it to Sam, Trixie’s lawyer?”
“Go ahead, but with how she said she doesn’t want anything from you, she might never cash that cheque.” I hang up once I finish telling Ms. Green my plans. She didn’t seem all that surprised when I said I was moving to BC with my daughter, makes me wonder if this whole damn town knew about Trixie and Preston before I did. Doesn’t matter now, it can’t. All that matters is moving on and being a good father for my little girl.
I decide that’s enough for tonight, tomorrow I will finish getting everything lined up so I can leave this all behind. Move on, just like Trixie is.
I go upstairs and peek into Lita’s room, she’s fast asleep in her toddler bed. I close the door quietly and go to my room, looking around. Maybe I couldn’t ever move on from Trixie because she was my safe place. But she’s right, we’re not meant for each other.
Chapter 28
Trixie
Imanaged to go to the liquor store, picking up not only a few bottles of wine but a few other items just so we have them around the house without another run in with Chris. Fights with him over the years have always hurt so bad. We always said the worst and meanest things we could say to each other.
And right now, what I’m feeling for Preston feels weird. We’ve only been dating, what, two days? Sure, Eden was right, we have known each other for years, but we never really knew each other. Now with my final divorce papers arriving any day, according to Sam, here I am going at warp speed into another relationship.
