Kit looked at me and just nodded, looking serious.
"Delta is having you cheat on me?"
"God no," he shook his head.
Then as he was about to speak, he stopped. Then he tried again and stopped.
"I'm your partner Kit, you should be able to tell me."
I knew it hurt him that he couldn't tell me, and I knew he wanted to.
How had I not seen this coming?How had this brewed without me noticing signs?
Surely something was going down at Delta. It still didn't explain to me why Kit had been kissing another girl, and I needed to know why. Without that, all I was left with was the knowledge that he was cheating on me. With nothing to override it.
"I'm not cheating on you, Eve. I can't tell you anything else just now, please, you've gotta just trust me.".
"All those years my dad ran Delta without my knowledge, the one thing I am sure of is that nothing he ever did there put his relationship in jeopardy."
"Your dad had a different role to me, I do what I'm good at, and so did he."
"And you're good at women?" I said quickly.
Closing his eyes, Kit sighed.
"Eve, don't,'' he said before moving closer.
"Look, for whatever reason, you just gotta trust me."
"Will you have to continue doing whatever it is you're doing with other women?"
God, what if there was more than one?
Kit didn't answer me, instead, I saw him thinking hard on what to say.
"I can't tell you more than what I have, Eves. Soon it will all become clear, I promise."
"So, you expect me to just trust you?"
"I love you, you know that. You must know that whatever I'm doing, I'm doing it because I have no choice".
There was always a choice. Kit didn't have to cheat on me, I didn't believe it for a second. Surely, there was someone else at Delta that could do his job now that he had a girlfriend. Then it lingered on my mind, what if Kit's job did mean more to him than me? More than our baby?
With that thought, I held my stomach and shifted away from the pool table and away from him.
He must have seen the look on my face because he shook his head.
"No," he said, "you're not doing this."
"You can't expect me to be okay with this? I'm never going to be comfortable with you keeping things from me. I will never accept you cheating on me, no matter if you say it's real or not."
"Eves," Kit took steps towards me again but I told him to stop.
The last thing I wanted was for him to be close to me right now, especially because I knew him touching me would result in me breaking down in a launch of tears.
"I need to go," I said, honestly.
"No, I'm not gonna let you push me away again. You're pregnant with my kid, Eves. You can't just run away from me."
