Chapter Six

DAN.
I couldn’t take their mushy play anymore, I opened the door and barged in to the room and just as I thought, they were both wrapped up in each other’s arms. Sucking their lips like there was no tomorrow. I felt my world froze and everything in it shattering into tiny pieces, they were cheating behind my back. My girlfriend who I love and whom I thought also loved me was cheating with my step-brother behind my back.
Even with the door opening, the two didn’t bother to pull from each other’s embrace. Rage filled me as I watched them.
“What the hell is going on here?!” I yelled, startling the both of them.
Erica pulled from the kiss and as soon as she sees me her eyes widened in shock, but then her lips slowly rose in a sarcastic grin.
“Oh, there you are.” She called, smiling at me and not making any attempt to pull from Lucas’s body.
What the hell!
“What’s the meaning of this, Erica?” I asked. f**k, I knew what was going on, but I just wanted a confirmation that this—all this was an act. They were only trying to prank me.
“I believe your eyes are working, Dan.” She snapped and giggled.
My eyes moved to Lucas who was acting indifferently like he didn’t see him, his hands were still on my woman’s waist. He was holding her tightly like she was his lifeline—that was my girlfriend.
“I can see clearly if you’re saying that I’m blind, Erica, all I’m asking is what the f**k is going on here?!” I yelled and she closed her ears.
“You’re yelling too much Dan, this is what it looks like.” She answered and finally had some decency to get up from Lucas’s lap.
“What are you talking about?” I know the question was dumb, but what can I do?
“Are you that dumb, Dan? Can’t you see that I’m with your brother.” She said, and I immediately cut in.
“Step-brother. Lucas and I are just step-brothers.” I said through gritted teeth.
She scoffed and filed her hand under her boobs, making her cleavage more prominent.
“Yeah, whatever. I’m with Lucas and not you, Dan, I only have to be with you for our plan to work out.” She stated and I frown.
What plan?
“Babe that’s enough.” Lucas called out in warning.
Erica looked at him and shook her head, “no, it isn’t enough. I think it’s time Dan came to know about our affair,” She looked at me this time.
“Yes, you heard me right, Dan. Lucas and I have been going out for a long time now, and I was only pretending to love you.” She said with her smile still on her face.
What the f**k was she saying!
Erica let out a low gaps and giggled, “You don’t believe me, do you? Let me tell you this, Dan, I don’t love you and will not love you. You are not my type and can never be, I only spared my time with you because of my love here. He wanted what was yours Dan, we wanted it all and the only way to get it was to fool you.” She giggled again, covering her mouth and winked at me.
I would have yelled at her, told her to stop lying, yelled at her to stop her shenanigans and tell me the real truth, but I could see it in her eyes. For the past years, that I have been with Erica I could read her like an open book and right now, I can tell that she wasn’t lying. This was the truth, even if I wasn’t going to believe it.
They had everything planned out right from the beginning, I was only a tool for hen to use—for her to use.
I was hurt yes, mad yes, but I wouldn’t give them the satisfaction of seeing me that way. They thought I would be devastated about this…well, I think they’ve thought wrong.
“You were one really nice actress, Erica, I will commend you for that. For having me fooled all these years while you go behind my back cheating with my step-brother, you aren’t that useless as I thought you were.” I said, my lips raising in a grin.
Gosh, this hurts more than I can explain. I thought I could go through this, go through whatever this was and leave, but it was hard. Hearing those words from someone you loved, someone you were going to spend the rest of your life with was heartbreaking.
But I had to console myself, Erica doesn’t deserve me.
“You don’t look mad or angry?” She asked, staring at my face.
Oh, so that’s what she was waiting for?
“I’m not mad Erica, in fact I’m glad that I saw this,” I pointed at her and then Lucas who has been looking at me.
“I sincerely appreciate you speaking out Erica, you saved me from making a lifetime mistake. Just when I thought you are the one to spend my life with but guess you’re just like the rest.” My eyes didn’t leave hers as I spoke.
“A disappointment.” My smile was sad and bitter, but it was better than me pouring my eyes out here.
I would rather leave now, they can continue planning whatever thing they want and get on with it. But me, I was done being here.
I turned to leave, but Erica’s shrill voice,
“Wait, You can’t leave Dan.” She yelled, holding my hand.
I sighed then look at her little soft hand holding mine, if it were another time, I would have loved that hand wrapped around my waist instead, but now her touch irks me.
“Take your hand off me.” My voice was low, but the anger was there. She clearly heard it because she took her hand off like it was burning her.
“You can’t leave, Dan.”
“Why?” I asked.
“Because you just saw me cheating on you, won’t you do something? Aren’t you going to ask me questions why I did that?” She asked.
My brows raised slightly as I stared at her, now I realized how dense Erica was.
“You seriously do not think that I will start yelling at you to throwing punches at the bastard over there for ‘cheating’ on me, right?” I asked with a sick smile on.
She shifted uncomfortably under my squinting gaze and bit her bottom lip, “you should have.” She whispered, but I heard it.
I scoffed, “I won’t do that s**t Erica, you choose to be with him and for your information, you didn’t cheat on but rather your ‘boyfriend’ over there.” I smirked when I saw the shocked look on her face.
Guess someone didn’t tell ‘her’ boyfriend about having s*x with me.
Feeling a little excited that I have this moment to ruin whatever thing they both had, I said, “did you tell him how you moan my name underneath me or how many times I make you come, Erica? Did you tell him how good you always say I am, unlike your previous boyfriends.” I felt sick even remembering those words. Now I know what she was talking about, she wasn’t just talking about her ex’s but Lucas.
My throat felt clogged as I look at them in disgust, I have to leave here soon before I throw up.
“Like I said earlier, Erica, you choose the one you want to be with and I ain’t going to stop you. All I wish for is for you to have a nice life and maybe get whatever you were planning with him.” Sparing one last glance at them… at the woman who I loved and wanted to make my wife and my step-brother I left the house in a hurry.
Those two were bastards and fit for each other.
