CHAPTER 31
“Come on Bianca, calm down.”
-Damn it, I can’t!
The only thing my mind keeps repeating to me is that he cheated on me, he lied to me by telling me he would be in the office until late, I’m a fool for trusting him “You don’t know hasty conclusions.”
I had to make sure that this is a mistake and that surely this unforeseen thing came out of nowhere so I called him and with anxiety running high as I wait for him to answer the call, “seriously you’re not going to answer me” I insisted again and this time he took the call and I saw him outside the restaurant
-Tell me, Bianca.
-I thought I would call you to tell you that I am leaving the house to bring you some dinner, I prepared it myself.
I see her turn to look at the woman inside.
-Don’t come, I had an emergency and I’m with a friend helping him with a document, we are at his house now.
A lump forms in my throat as I realize she was cheating on me, she is doing this to me. I can’t believe he’s so cynical, he’s just been making fun of me all this time, of course, since we’ve never had sex.
-Okay, good night.
I hung up the call before he answered me, he went back into the restaurant while I stood watching him from the cab with such immense hatred for that woman who seems too happy with him.
The cab driver looks at me curiously but doesn’t ask any questions, he gets out of the car when he hears a wandering salesman and when he returns he was eating a hot dog.
-Is that your husband inside that fancy restaurant? -I ignore him as I keep my eyes on them, “What rich people can do with money. But I say it’s better the poor people’s room.
They were more than an hour in the place, when they left I woke up the lazy cab driver who had fallen asleep after eating, we followed him a car away, and when he stopped in front of a building, they talked for a while and when I thought he would leave, I received a call from him.
It was late and at this time of night, I am always asleep so I didn’t answer and apparently he concluded that I was asleep and when I thought he would leave I was puzzled when I saw him enter the building.
I was stunned, I couldn’t believe he came in to be with that woman. And if that wasn’t enough the cab driver tells me that I can’t confirm that he is unfaithful unless I find him in the act, only there, he would be unfaithful. That seemed stupid and absurd to me because it is more than clear that he is, but the cab driver denies that he is not and urges me to go in and verify it with my own eyes and of course I would do it since I could not leave without knowing what is going on in there. I don’t care if the meter runs and I get overcharged what’s wrong with me remembering the guy, I just want to know what’s going on, if Eros is with another woman.
-Are you sure you want to go… Miss. I mean, it might be infidelity, or maybe not, but anyway, if it was… the former, could I handle it?
Thinking about if I could stand it, is something that is better to ignore for now and think about a possible coincidence , or that it is really just business “but not in bed is what I hope” “think about Isabel, think about her”.
It was almost 10:00 pm and I was still thinking about whether I should go in or not, at least ten minutes passed and it was already 10:05 pm, “let whatever happens happen happen. I was about to enter the hotel when I got a call from Stacy asking me if I was okay.
-I’m fine. I got held up in traffic but I’ll be there in half an hour.
-Be careful, it’s very dangerous for you to be out on the street at this time of night alone, remember what happened last time….
-Stacy, I have to hang up.
A man was the receptionist so I managed to get some information out of him about the man who came in after a blonde. He seems to ignore me and maybe it’s because of the clothes I’m wearing, I didn’t have time to get dressed up so I walked out with what I was wearing.
-Hey, stop judging me by the clothes I’m wearing, I just want to know what room they’re in.
-We can’t give you that information. It’s confidential, it’s hotel policy, miss. But there is a way I could help you.
-Of course you can. -You just don’t want to.
-Miss. -I feel you speak to me in a mocking tone- -Save us the trouble of calling the guards, yes.
-All men are the same
The receptionist bribed me to give me the room number where it was located and that one of the cleaning ladies on that level could open the door for me as long as I cooperated, “bribery”.
Upon finding the room and the cleaning lady, I paid her less than the receptionist to open the door but first she made sure no one saw her. She asks me just to see and not to make a fuss because otherwise she would be fired and she needed the job, “instructions before opening the door.”
I didn’t want anyone to notice my presence here so I was cautious and whatever I saw I was not to lose my sanity.
I entered stealthily, there was no one in the main part of the room, but I heard some noises coming from another room. I walk in quietly, just listening to her, as if she was having sex.
I feel my heart in my throat with every step I take as I approach the room, an icy sweat appears on my forehead as I take in a shaky breath
-Oh yes! …
The room had no door, but there was a huge bed where Eros lay naked and she was on top of him jumping and wriggling like a worm backwards. My world came crashing down as I am a spectator where the man I love is fucking with another woman.
