I'm Not Your Innocent Ex-Wife Anymore (#Wattys2018)

The Truth

You can love two people at the same time, but never at the same level

Travis POV

I  was pretty nervous heading home, I knew Lissa wouldn't be the there. But that didn't stop me from panicking, I know I should have told Clair as  soon as I saw Lissa, but to tell you the truth I was kind of scared myself.

I hope she takes the news well, I don't know what I would do if she decides to reject me

I probably go insane, if I am being honest. Clair is my rock she made me a better person and I don't want to lose her.

You guys probably think I am an idiot how can I say I love someone, when I loved another. But Is it possible to love two people at once?

Is weird is like Lissa would always be a part of me, with the history that we had, is hard not to, she would always hold a part of my heart; after all she was my first real love

But with Clair everything is different, is magical, is like I needed to go through all of that pain that I went through with Lissa in order to be ready for Clair

I know that may sound cliche but is the truth, and I know that if I want to save my marriage than is time to do what I should had done from day one

3 Hours Later

Hey Clair do you remember how I told you that I needed to talk to you?? Asked Travis

Yes, but didn't you say you want it to wait until tomorrow to talk? Said Clair

I did, but I figure now is good time

Okay, what do you want to talk about?

Is a long story, so I think we should make ourselves confortable

Okay, said Clair sounding unsure

A couple of years before I met you, I was married to someone

What!!?

Please just let me talk, I know you have questions but I promise I would answer every single one of them after I finish talking

Anyways I met this girl when I went to collage, at the time she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen, of course that was before I met you. I reply fast

I thought that she was the one that was meant for me, so after dating for a year, I asked her to marry me

We got marry soon after that, and for a whole two years everything was perfect, but then one day everything changed

I won't go into detail of what happen, and even though so much time has passed it is still hard for me to re-live it

Let's just say things ended in a bad note and I haven't seen her since we got marry, but a few weeks ago I saw her again

And I know I should have told you all of this sooner but I didn't want to lose you

"Who is it" she said sounding hurt

"Is Lissa" I said

"Wait, you don't mean Lissa the one that was just here a couple of hours ago, do you?"

"That's the one"

"Why didn't you tell me this before, why couldn't you be honest with me?"

"You doesn't know how many times I try to tell you, but I couldn't seem to do, it no matter how much I try. Every time I told myself this was the day, some thing got in the way; and I am not trying to make excuses. I know what I did was wrong, but you got to know that you are the only one I want. Whatever happen between me and Lissa, is in the past now. You got to understand that she is my past but you are my present and future, even though that may sound cliche."

"And I know you need time to process everything that I just told you, the only thing I ask is that you don push me away. That you let me be here for you, even though I don't deserve too" I told her

"Travis I..."

"Mommy, daddy what's going on??" Said Tyler

"Listen honey your mom and I are just talking adult stuff, nothing that you need to worry about it"

"Your daddy is right, everything is fine besides I think is time for your bedtime story. Come on let's get you into bed" Clair said as she bend down to pick Tyler up

But before they left Clair gave me a look that said we are not don't with this conversation, that we will talk later after Tyler has gone to bed
