THE USUAL SUSPECT

"If I could remember it correctly, it all started about 2 weeks after we met May, there was a gradual increase in the number of incoming SMS' in his mobile during nightime and over the weekends, it went on further with him staying up late nightly on his computer, probably chatting on the internet ...I ignored it at first, but his overly protective attachment to his mobile made me feel that something is just not quite right....Tired of just being upset, I finally mustered my courage to ask him who's been texting him......Predictably, his answer was "Office related issues"....."

After taking a sip's worth of coffee, she shifted her position a little and continued with the story.

"Sensing the need to know what's going on, I finally seized the opportunity, one day whilst he was having a shower, to have a quick peek into his mobile....It was somewhat not a surprise, but my heart still sank as I scrolled through the messages; there were flirtatious "lovey dovey" messages, and if that wasn't bad enough, there were also messages detailing explicit scenes of what they used to do in the bedroom".....

I could hear her voice quiver a little, she lowered her head, cleared her throat, and continued.

"Damn, somehow I knew this would happen....So I confronted him, whilst he was dressing up after the shower, and asked him what's going on between him and that wretched bitch.....Of course, the normal reaction when being put in a bad situation will be, first, denial, then come submissive(to gain sympathy), and if that doesn't work, then the final "weapon of choice", would be, to go on an anger trip......Again, predictably, he did all that......Taking the opportunity to get the load off my chest, I went, all the way, on the offensive, until he's been cornered with nothing more to say, but only to confess to his wrong-doings".

"Silence filled the room for a long while, then finally, he walked towards me from the other end of the room, forced a hug on me, at the same time consoling me, as well as assuring me that he will do the right thing, by cutting off ties with his ex......"

With a sigh, she turned to my direction and said.

"The mobile messages did stop coming in a day after the fight, and so did the late night online chats.......Well, that's my life story my friend...." she paused for a few seconds and continued "To be honest, I really don't know if he's still seeing her behind my back, and if he is, he's gotten smarter by using other means of communication with her....Anyway, I have lost all trust in him, and although I think I have "Forgiven" him, I know I will not forget about what had happened....."

With that last note, she took a quick glance at her watch and said she had to go.......Well, I had to rush off to work as well........We downed whatever that's left in the cup, stood up, gave eachother a tight hug, said our goodbyes and parted ways...

After walking a short distance, I suddenly remembered, we forgot to exchange numbers........
