All the breath left my lungs and my face paled .
" You can't do that . " I whispered.
" I am doing that . We haven't divorced , I tore the papers . " One second, I was standing there astounded at the turn of events and next I was pounding on his chest with both my hands . I wanted to hurt him .
Hurt him for hurting me , for the hurt he gave before and for the wound he was giving me for the future . He took both my hands in one of his and stopped me .
" Control your hormones baby. Hear me out . I want you and Jim both. Stay . Live with me and our son here ."
" This is what the fourth time or fifth time ? huh?? " he was frowning .
" Addressing Jim as your 'Son' ." I was speaking slowly so that Matt and Jim couldn't hear us.
" There were reasons . I was..." I interrupted him .
" I want to hear none of it ." I hissed .
" You have gone so cruel Savannah but I know how to soften you up." he said coming closer forgetting my hands .
I got one of my hands free and slapped him across the face, hard . I had a strange feeling that he let me do it . He could have easily suspended my hands again but he didn't do it . He wanted me to slap him . He wanted me guilty .
I glared at him " Never touch me again ."
He smiled a vague smile " I try to resist a temptation until it becomes irresistible and you were never a temptation I could resist myself from ."
I think I died a little then , his words softly spoken were filled with so much truth that I had difficulty in holding a gasp.
I felt my knees weaken but I kept my words smooth , carefree " Learn to resist me because I am no more yours . As for the divorce , if you can't file it , don't . I will . Jim is mine , just mine . For more than two years I was there with him , just me . "
I turned to go but his words stopped me .
" Savannah , Jim is both mine and yours . Go ask for a divorce , I will never sign the papers . I am content with my wife and my child who will live with me from tomorrow. Get your belongings packed sweetheart, I will come to get you tomorrow in the morning . Your asshat boyfriend can go find someone else. "
I didn't answer him and left him standing again .
Matt was carrying now a sleepy Jim on his arms , he was looking at the moon through the windows but he turned when he heard the sound of my sandals .
A hand on my wrist made me turn and look into the blue eyes of my husband .
" I am coming tomorrow , be ready ." he said .
I stared at his fingers on my wrist in silent acquisition . His fingers tightened . He knew I wouldn't say or do anything to upset Matt so he was playing the possessive husband .
Well damn him .
" You can come and try . Wasting time is your new occupation. " I murmured .
He didn't answer and keeping his hands on my wrist , made his way towards Matt , who weirdly looked angrier than him .
"My son ." Aaron said leaving my hands to hold Jim in his arms . Matt looked at me and i rolled my eyes nodding Aaron kissed Jim on the forehead and murmured something in his ear . Jim was sleepy but he said something which made Aaron smile and kiss him again , this time on the nose .
After another fifteen minutes , I was opening the car door to slip inside . Jim was asleep in the backseat . Matt ignited the engine and put the car into gear . I watched Aaron waving at me from the sidewalk , I could feel him giving one of his sad smiles and for the first time in a lifetime , I felt guilty . Guilty of leaving him behind . Guilty of slapping him .
but it was his fault !
All his fault ..
" You love me . You know you do and I love you more , more every passing second and minute . I solemnly vow to love you every minute , day , week , year and decades , love you till I live , take my last breath and wish for another lifetime with you ."
Words Aaron spoke the day we wed , was he honest ? then why did he desert me? why was he so busy the last two years ? it couldn't be Jim , he was angry when I got pregnant but he didn't leave me then . He did stay at home most of the time . It was after Jim's birth that he started getting busier and busier .
But a small child couldn't be the reason !
so what was?
With that thought in mind I close my eyes and welcome the dark.
