We had absolutely nothing in common, well except for some types of music, but where I was a rough and ready athletic type, Maddy was a self confessed clucks, who fell over her own feet and hated the very idea of anything to do with sports. I took her virginity two months after we met. I would've married her then and there but she wanted to wait at least until after her first year of college. I gave in because I knew she wasn’t going anywhere,
From that moment on married or not she was mine, and I treated her as such. She was wearing my ring on her finger so all the other fucks would know that she belonged to me. This Simon dude had always been a part of her life since their fathers were best pals. In fact I think part of the reason her old man had never warmed to me was because he had expected those two to get together. But nothing and no one was going to stop me from having my girl and months later we were married.
We had been so happy together, like nothing I ever knew I could have. She was my one constant in a world that I knew was fucked; the world that I fought to protect her from. Everything I did was for her, every decision I made revolved around her and what was best for her. When I went out in the field on a mission I took her with me in my heart, I didn’t take the risk I once did, because I wanted to come back home to my Madelyn. Now she’d fucked me over but good and I couldn’t see anyway out of this shit.
I slept fitfully that night on the couch I couldn’t bear to sleep in our bed where her scent was sure to haunt me. The damn dog was giving me looks like he was sorry for me one minute and then questioning where the fuck his mama was the next. I turned my aback on him after the third whine and tried to get some sleep. No dice, every time I closed my eyes I kept picturing them together. When will this shit end?
It’s two days since she’s been gone and there was no relief in sight. I ate sparingly when my guts got too loud for me to ignore and I wasn’t sleeping for shit. Even Butch had given up on me and went about his day ignoring my sorry ass. I was at a lost for something to do. Anything to make this throbbing pain in my chest go away. Everywhere I turned I saw her, she hadn’t taken all her shit and there were little pieces of her all over the place. I should start a bonfire; that would give me something to do. At least the days seemed to be flying by because it was night again. Great, another miserable night to look forward to where I would be climbing the fucking walls.
I heard a car door slam as I was getting a beer from the kitchen to go with my nightly dinner of meat and potatoes. "I wonder who the fuck that is." I didn't want any company, I knew it wouldn't be one of my men as they were all home with their families for a little R and R. Hopefully theirs was going better than mine. She was standing on the porch when I walked out the front door. The sight of her pleased and infuriated me in equal measure. Is she trying to get me to commit murder or some shit? I was in no way ready to see her cheating ass on my doorstep, it was going to take a long time if ever for me to be ready to even talk to her ass like she was human.
"What are you doing here Madelyn? I thought I made myself clear, I don't want to see you right now." She was fidgeting from foot to foot and not looking at me, head bowed. I wonder what game she’s playing now? Whatever it is I wasn't in the mood for it. "Well, why are you here you traitorous bitch?" I saw her flinch at that and squelched the short flash of guilt that pierced my conscience. I had nothing to feel guilty about I wasn't the one who had semi cheated.
"I'm pregnant..." The fuck!
"You're what?" I felt my knees grow weak, fuck me. "Whose is it?" Another flinch followed by teary eyes. Somehow I knew that that was a bit harsh but I couldn't find it in me to care.
"I never cheated on you Dominic..."
"Yeah, well that’s not what the people in that bar thinks, it's not what they saw. They saw my wife in another mans arms, all close and shit, so exactly what would you call that if not cheating?"
