Riley's POV
We had gotten back from Winnipeg about a few weeks ago. Things had be going good lately, Erik and I are doing good, Mia and Patrick have been fine as well, Mia's already starting to plan her wedding. As for Jonathan and I well we're slowly reconnecting our friendship. In a matter of fact we just finished up lunch, Jonathan had on insisted on taking me out in away of making it up to me. So far it's working.
"Let me go pay and then we can head out." Jonathan says getting up
I nod and start getting my coat on.
I look over and see Jon's phone vibrating, I wasn't going to answer it but figured looking to see who it was couldn't hurt right?
I grab his phone and see there's a text from Lindsey, why would she text him if they're done? As curious as I am, I slide open the the text.
It reads
Hey I'm with Erik cover for me (;
I couldn't believe what I was reading, this has to be a mistake. I can feel the angrier and betrayal building up inside of me, so I leave the phone and storm out of the restaurant. I don't get very far other then the parking lot until I hear "Riley." "Let me explain."
"What's there to explain?" I snap turning around
"Look I was going to tell you but-"
"But what? Huh?" I cut him off
"Did you not think telling me my boyfriend was cheating on me was not important?"
"Riley it's not like that."
"Like hell it's not." I scream at him
"Your unbelievable Jonathan."
With that I walk away. I quickly jump onto my car and drive off before he can even follow me, I call Mia on the way and tell her we need to talk. Before I know it I'm already at her door.
Mia opens up the door before I can even knock it. Her hair is tied back in a messy bun while her crop top shows her three month belly and hip bones.
"Oh lord what did he do?" She knew we were going for lunch today.
I don't say a thing and push her heading towards her couch.
Mia heads to her kitchen and grabs two mugs. I push myself up off the couch and head to the island.
I slouch down in the chair and put my feet on the other chair.
"I know what you need." Mia says putting a kettle on the stove.
"Tea?" I scoff.
"When someone's upset you offer them a hot beverage." Mia chuckles heading to her beloved cupboard.
Tea, coffee, and booze is kept in that wonderful cupboard. I only need one thing... booze.
"I'm not upset." I state.
"No your mad." She comes back with a container.
"What's in that." I've only seen that container on three occasions.
Anger
Trouble Sleeping
Or stressed out
"This is Chamomile tea." She sets it down and starts to pour tea.
She puts a package in the cup and then hands it to me.
I take a sip of it and breath in its calming smell.
"He fucking knew the whole time!"
"Who knew?" Mia asks as she takes a mixing bowl out.
"What?"
"Who knew the whole time?" She rolls her eyes at me.
"Jonathan." I take a big drink this time and feel the burning feeling go down my throat.
"I knew it but what did he know." She chuckles.
"Erik has been cheating on me with Lindsey." I laugh humorously.
I hear the shattering noise of a mug crashing against the floor.
"Let's go." Mia storms over to her jacket and boots.
"What are you doing?" I stare at her mess.
"We are going to beat the shit out of your boyfriend."
"He's your friend too." I remind her as I lock up HER townhouse.
"Not anymore!" She shouts as she throws open her car door.
She drives like a maniac to Erik's apartment.
"Mia slow down!" I yell as she slides around a turn.
"I don't have a sports car for no reason." The city passes by us in a blur.
Erik's apartment in one piece and no police on our ass.
"Let's go." Mia locks the car sassy and heads inside.
We head up to the sixth floor, a long ways down.
Mia bangs on the door loudly and many people come out into the hall.
Nobody opens the door.
I get my key out and unlock the door.
I kick the door open and walk in.
I'm meet with loud moans.
Dirty little cheat.
"All we need is guns and we could be the swat team." Mia chuckle as she comes up from behind me.
We head to the bedroom and I make the signal to be quiet.
Pressing our ears to the bedroom door, we can hear Lindsey yell, "harder Erik! Harder!"
"Is that Lindsey?!" Mia whisper/yells.
Mia turns the knob throwing open the door.
Lindsey riding Erik like a cowboy rides a horse.
"Aw look it's the girl that couldn't satisfy her own boyfriend." Lindsay smirks getting off Erik.
"Look it's saggy tits." Mia snorts.
"At least I'm knocked up." Lindsey sticks her hip out.
"Was Erik looking for something in a bush?" I laugh.
"Right?" Mia laughs humorously
"Riley it's not what it looks like." Erik says with fear in his eyes
"You hear that Mia it's not what it looks like." I snort
"Now that's funny." Mia chuckles dryly
Erik just glares at her
"Can please just talk?" Erik sighs
"Fine talk." I say crossing my arms over my chest
"Alone." He pleads glaring at Mia and Lindsey
Mia gets the hint and begins dragging Lindsey out of the room by her hair.
Ouch.
"Now talk." I say sternly
"Look I'm sorry-"
"Sorry's not going to cut it bud." I interrupt
"I know..." He rambles
"Why'd you do it?" I ask
"What?"
"Why'd you cheat?"
"I don't know." He mumbles pacing around the room
"Were you not happy with me?"
"No I was...I mean I am...it's just..."
"It's just what? Huh?" I questioned
"I don't know alright. I don't always think before I do and I guess I just got carried away."
Carried away my ass.
"How long?" I sigh
I could feel it in the pit of my stomach, that I didn't want to know the answer.
"What?" He stops pacing and looks directly at me
"You heard me. How long has this thing been going on?"
I knew by the look on his face I was going to regret asking the question, but I just had to know.
"Six weeks." Erik gulps
It feels like I've just been punched in my gut repeatedly
I take a step forward towards Erik and slap right across the face.
"Fuck you." I spit at him before storming out of the room.
I pass up Lindsey who's currently holding an ice pack to her now bruised eye and crooked nose. Good for her.
I find Mia and lead her out of the apartment.
"Aw but I didn't get a chance to be the shit out of Erik." Mia whines
"Another day Mia." I smirk "Another day."
