“We discussed our love lives, our home lives, and things like that.”
“Why would you have a conversation with another female about anything other than platonic subjects? What made you get personal?”
“I don’t know,” he shrugged.
“Then it turned sexual?”
“Yes.”
“How many times? Where?”
I sounded confident, but with each answer that Kerem gave, I felt less and less secure. It was as if I was getting stripped of my clothing piece by piece. Each answer left me feeling more exposed and lonelier.
“Once at her house.”
“You were out there fucking a bitch. Then came home and climbed your nasty ass in the bed with me? Did you at least use a condom?”
“I used one…”
Kerem’s calmness was pissing me off. I didn’t know how I expected this conversation to go, but it would appear by his answers that his disposition was, “I did it. Now get over it.” That may not be how he actually felt, but that’s certainly how he was coming across to me.
“Oh, so you knew what you were going to do? We haven’t used condoms in decades so why would you have them, Reem? You said it just happened, but now it looks like you planned this shit! Are you still fucking her now? Have you seen her since I found out?”
“The condom was hers…”
I stood to my feet, unable to stay seated any longer.
“So this bitch could be walking around carrying your child? You know side bitches manipulate condoms to get pregnant.”
“I don’t think she would…”
“There you go defending her again!” I threw both hands in the air.
“That’s not what I’m do…”
“Did she know you were married?” I interrupted.
“Yes.”
“So, you opened our marriage up to a bitch that was willing to destroy it?”
“No! That’s not how it was.”
“Do you love her?”
“No, Key, I’ve never loved any other woman but you. If I could take…”
“This is what your love feels like? Then I don’t want it. I’m going to talk to the divorce attorney at Vee’s firm. I want out.”
“KEY! Come on! You want to throw away all of these years over one mistake?”
“A mistake that you still are not willing to fully admit to with a bitch that you are protecting. I will not live my life like this with you. Get the fuck out and leave your key.”
Kerem jumped to his feet with his fist balled at his sides.
“WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW! I’M TRYING TO BE OPEN WITH YOU BUT YOU KEEP DERAILING EVERY ANSWER THAT I GIVE!”
When we were younger, he and his friends would fight to defend themselves if necessary, but he was never the type to lose his temper. He was one of the most level headed people I knew. If he did lose it, he knew how to reign it back in. His outburst was undoubtedly out of character, but I wasn’t moved.
