What the hell happened!
I drive to Emma's house, ignoring the speed limits. When I arrive at her backdoor, I peek through the kitchen window. She’s standing by the kitchen island—there are no tears on her face, but large drops of mixture fly out of the bowl as she mixes with a whisk. Without knocking, I open the door and walk into her house. Before I know what is going on, something hard hits my chest. I lower my gaze to see an egg oozing down my white shirt.
"Turn around and go away, you lying bastard."
"Why the hell did you do that?"
Emma's gaze is on fire. She grabs another egg, ready to launch it at me.Her eyes are as large as that of an animal in distress. Her jawline tenses and she grinds her teeth as I take a slow step towards her.
"What the hell happened?" I ask in my most calm voice. "Angel, what's wrong?"
"Stay there, or the next egg will hit you in the head." Her chest is rising hastily, and I have to reprimand myself when I stare at her breasts.
Fuck, even when she's bombarding me with eggs, she's capable of turning me on.
"Tell me, how many pussies did you claim before mine?"
My eyes dart up. "What are you talking about, Emma! Don't you think it is fair that you tell me what's going on before asking or accusing me of things like that?"
"Fair? Fair! You want to talk about what's fair?" Emma stomps her feet on the ground. "Being ambushed by a jealous ex-girlfriend isn't fair!"
The hair on my arms stands up. Shit, Cindy! My breath makes a hissing sound as I press it through my now clenched teeth. Stay calm. A vein in my neck throbs. "Emma, tell me what happened!"
She rushes her free hand through her tangled hair. Rays of pain and sadness shine through her angered voice. "Cindy ordered a cake, and I was too stupid not to figure out it was her that ordered it until I stood in her house. She led me into a room and introduced me to five other women as your newest toy. They were ladies you slept with after you broke up with her."
"What?" My blood pressure rises as Emma points her finger towards me.
"You told me you haven't been with anyone for months."
"And that's true." I try to make eye contact with her, but her gaze is jumping around. Without warning, her head shifts, and her eyes penetrate mine.
"What about Meghan?"
I'm speechless. Emma's nostrils flare, and her cheeks color up.
"Meghan told me she shared the bed with you a month ago. Please tell me that isn't true."
My mind is blank, so I stay silent. “You slept with her in these last four weeks too, didn’t you?” Another egg flies towards me, but now I dodge it by taking a step to the side, and it breaks against the wall.
"Emma, honestly, I can't remember what happened that night entirely. The only thing I know is Meghan coming out of the bathroom while I was lying in Brian's guest bedroom. I'm pretty sure I went to bed alone. She tried to seduce me, but I told her to get out. When she didn't, I left. So, as far as I know, I didn't sleep with her. And I haven’t seen her since. You’re the only woman I’m seeing." My eyes shoot to Emma’s, but she's shaking her head.
"Leave."
The kitchen door behind me opens, and I angle my head to determine who's there. Bella walks in and blinks when locking on my egg drenched shirt.
"You better do as she asks."
A sharp pain stabs through me as my eyes lay upon Emma. She's crying with her hands before her face—trying to muffle the sound of her developing sobs. I take a step forward, but Bella places a hand on my arm.
"I'm sorry, but you need to go."
"But..." I say.
Bella strides past me and pulls her friend into a tight hug. Emma lets her and my muscles tense.
I should be the one to soothe her pain. But I'm causing it. When this realization hits me, I leave without a word.
