Tina: You don’t have to move out.

Charlie: Yes I do. I cannot possibly stay here good night.

I get ready for bed with mixed emotions running through my head. I am sad that I broke Charlie’s heart. I feel relief and freedom also. I am now free. Free to be with Bette. If she still wants me that is? I will go talk to her in the morning It is time we sorl this thing out once and for all.

CHAPTER TWENTY

Morning arrived and I was excited to see what the day would bring. Finally coming clean with my husband about my feelings I’ve been having for this woman. WOW! what can I say this woman she is the most beautiful creature that ever lived. I can’t wait to see her today. I sure hope she is ready to listen to me. I miss her so much it is becoming unbearable. I really hope that she wants to be with me because if she doesn’t I will just die. I will think positive don’t want to jinx things by presuming anything. I get out of bed and look for what to wear. Gee! Looks like this will take some time gotta find just the right outfit. Finally finding something appropriate I place it on the bed and head for the shower grabbing a towel in my way. How sweet it will be to be held in her arms again. I cannot believe Charlie being so kind and just walking away like that. I do feel bad about hurting him. But living this way not Knowing if I could of been Happpier with Bette would be worse in the long run. I step into the shower thinking about her. Of course I am thinking of her. Don’t I always? I wonder what it would be like to take a shower with her. I know she looks good with clothes on. I bet she looks better without them. Okay now I gotta stop. I need to control myself here. I exit the shower and enter the bedroom with a towel wrapped around me. As I walk in I notice Charlie in there I grab onto my towel and hold it tightly against me as he sees me enter.

Charlie: Oh! sorry just getting a few things I will be out in a minute.

Tina: it’s okay

I watch as he packs a bag of things and he is out the door. I lock the bedroom and get dressed.

I get the kids up and get them ready and off to school. I clean up the kitchen and get more nervous by the minute. I get into my car and drive. thinking it would be nice to bring her a coffee and maybe a doughnut but she may not be home. I can always invite her out for breakfast once I get there. I start driving to her place feeling my palms getting all sweaty. My heart rate accelerates and I feel a tightness in my throat as I get closer to Bettes place. I pull into her driveway but I don’t see her vehicle. Doesn’t look like she is home. I walk up to her door and ring the bell. "Ding Dong" No Answer DARN! she isn’t home. I decide to go out for breakfast before work seeing as I am now quite hungry. I pull into my favorite breakfast joint. I walk in and look around for a table to sit at. That is when I see her. At first sight a smile spreads across my face. I start walking towards her table. My smile soon fades as I see the man beside her lean into her and place a soft kiss on her lips. I am too late. I don’t believe this. It cannot be happening. I rush to the restroom now my eyes filled with tears.
