life just like Emma ruined hers years ago.
As Samantha’s thoughts began to wander Kevin walked into the kitchen with his shirt off and placed a kiss on her forehead.
“Hey you, I didn’t hear you come in.”
Samantha smiled vaguely, “Yeah, I just got in like ten minutes ago. I wasn’t here long.”
“Oh ok.” Kevin grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and sat down in front of Samantha. Taking a look at her face he saw the lethargy etched in Samantha’s features. “Wow, you look exhausted. How was work?”
“It was just how it looks. Exhausting.”
“Why all of a sudden is it so exhausting? Is Emma taking out her frustrations on you? I could send in a letter of complaint if you need me to. I can’t have her treating my love bug like that. Or did she find out about us?” he asked hesitantly.
Samantha cringed at the nickname love bug. She loathed it. It sounded like she belonged in a Bug’s Life. She smiled kindly at his quick defense but also wondered what would happen if Emma ever knew that she was indeed the woman who took Emma’s man away from her.
“No, she didn’t find out about us. And no, Emma isn’t taking her frustrations out on me. For some reason she was so calm and happy when she left a couple of days ago.”
“Emma left?” Kevin asked warily. “She quit?”
“Nope, she went on a week-long vacation somewhere in the Pacific.”
“She went on vacation? And she seemed happy? Are you sure we’re talking about the same Emma here? The one I just dumped and the one who found out I was leaving her for someone else?”
Kevin’s bewildered expression ticked Samantha off even more.
“Yes, that bitch. Why are you so concerned? You’re with me now. It shouldn’t matter how she’s handling the break up.”
“It doesn’t, I’m just confused as to how this all happened in a matter of days. You seem upset and she seems happy. It’s just a little weird. That’s all.”
“Is that all it is? You’re with me now so get that through your head. If you care so much about her than go back with her. I’m not dealing with your wishy washy feelings so you can just go to hell if you think I’m going to stick around with that” Samantha warned viciously.
Samantha got up with her container and threw the rest of the food into the garbage with force. Today was not her day. Why was Kevin so concerned? Why did Emma always get what she wanted? It made no sense to her. It wasn’t freaking fair! Samantha put her cup in the sink and stormed out of the kitchen to the bathroom while Kevin called out for her from the table.
She slammed the door shut and rested her head on the wall. How the hell was this happening? Shouldn’t she be boasting and gloating right about now? She had Kevin. She had him all to herself. But why wasn’t it fulfilling her? The tears in her eyes blurred her vision as she went to look at herself in the mirror.
Kevin knocked at the door and took a deep breath. “Samantha, come on. You know I didn’t mean it like that. You’re my woman now and I just wanted to make sure you weren’t in a bad environment. I’m sorry that you had a bad day but I hope it gets better.” When Samantha didn’t respond he inhaled again. “I’m going to give you some time alone, I think you need it. I’m sorry again. Please don’t think I want Emma back, I don’t. I only want you now.”
Samantha rolled her eyes, it was bullshit and she knew it. As good as it sounded, “once a cheater always a cheater” popped into her head. She turned on the sink and washed the tears that were about to fall down her face.
Chapter Twenty
After Emma and Zack finished their meals, Emma continued to laugh at the sad attempts that Zack made at telling jokes while the waiters cleaned up their empty plates.
“That was honestly terrible” she continued to laugh hysterically. “I think the fact that you truly thought it was going to be a good joke makes it even funnier.”
