My eyes fluttered open from the bright morning sun shining in my window. I turned over and saw the beautiful face of the one I loved. I laid there and watched him sleep, so serene, like he didn’t have a care in the world, when I knew very well he did.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“You’re married!?” I exclaimed staring at him.
He couldn’t even respond he just nodded.
“What am I supposed to do with that Max?” I asked him standing across the room. I stared at him waiting for a response.
“I’m not going anywhere if that’s what you think” he finally replied.
“Max I am not taking you away from a wife…a potential…family” I cringed at the word.
He just stared at the floor.
“So you’re going to be with both of us?” I asked him, “have a wife and your whore on the side? Am I right?”
“Don’t say that, I love you” he said touching my arm.
“Yah, but that’s not what she would be thinking” I said turning my head in the other direction.
I moved away and turned to look out the window. The sun was setting, I figured he would have to leave soon, get back to his…wife.
“Jules, don’t be like this” he said, “soon I’m going to leave her and it will be you and me, I promise”
I looked at him pleadingly, “Ok”. Of course I believed him, why would he lie to me?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That conversation happened 4 months ago, he hasn’t even tried to leave her. I’m beginning to think I was too naïve…and still am. I laid in bed watching him sleep and looking at the clock, I knew she would call eventually. I felt movement and looked over, I just smiled as I saw his eyes open.
“Morning baby” he said.
“Hi” I said.
That moment his phone rang and I sighed and turned over. I knew it was her and I knew he would run there the moment she needed him. I heard the 30 second conversation before he hung up.
“And?” was all I said.
“I need to go” he sighed standing up.
“Of course you do” I snapped.
“What do you expect me to do Julie!?” he snapped back.
“What happened to “soon I’m going to leave her to be with you, it will be you and me”?” I said to him, “you lied to me.
“I didn’t” he said getting dressed.
“Max…you tell me you love me…I love you, so completely it hurts sometimes, like right now” I began, “and I know she loves you, but I will say one thing, this woman can never love you like I love you, and you can’t love her the way you love me”
He just stared at me, I stayed focused on him but eventually put my head down. He grabbed his keys.
“I have to go” he sighed.
“Fine Max, call me when you decide to be a man…and not be such a coward” I said slamming the bedroom door.
I sat on the bed as tears started pouring out of me till I could hardly breathe anymore. How did I get myself into this kind of mess? I should have left him a long time ago, the moment he told me he was married. All I want is for him to be happy and if he is happy with her…maybe it should stay that way.
The moment I finally cried my last tear I figured I should eat. I opened the bedroom door and none other than Max was standing right there.
“What?” I said not looking at him.
“Please just talk to me” he said.
“I’m talking” I replied coldly.
“I will go tell her I’m leaving if that’s what you want” he said, almost like it was effortless to do it.
“Max, of course I want you to up and leave her, but is that what you want to do? Do you want me…or her?”
*Max’s POV*
I looked at her trying to process what she just asked me. Who did I want? I’ve been married for almost two years and I’m in love with someone else. How do I pick between the two loves of my life?
Julie is amazing. She has these stunning blue eyes that shine every time she looks at me, every time she smiles. Oh and that smile, it could light up a room. She has this soft skin that is almost addicting every time I touch her, and her kiss, you just can’t resist. She has this personality that you could never get bored with, she’s always saying something, whether it’s about sports, herself, her family, friends, or me. When she talks about me, she speaks it differently, you can tell how in love she is. Even if you didn’t know who she was talking about…you’d feel it. When she is passionate about something…she goes for it and doesn’t hold back. She’s strong, and stubborn, she never let’s anyone see her cry, not even me.
Liz, was my high school sweetheart. She’s beautiful. She has this strawberry blonde hair and these piercing green eyes, they change color with her moods, and I’m not exaggerating. She’s always treated me with such respect and I knew she was the one from the moment I met her. Her laugh, it gets me every time, and her smile, no words to describe it. She’s sweet, loving and can be quite jealous honestly, I’m not going to lie. But she’s an amazing woman.
I still hadn’t answered and I think that was her sign.
“Obviously it’s not me” she said walking around me.
“Don’t say that” I said, “I do love you”
“I can’t share you Max, ok? It’s me or her, take you’re time, think about it, talk to her I don’t care, but you can’t have us both…she would agree with me”
*Julie’s POV*
I wanted to drop to my knees and beg him to pick me, but I was stronger than that and he knew I wouldn’t sink that low. He’s never seen me vulnerable, and I really don’t want to start now. He knows I love him and I know she must adore him…how could you not? But how can I even look at myself in the mirror and be happy keeping a man away from the woman he is supposed to spend his life with? I just wish he would make a decision, except for the very fact that he is incredibly indecisive, not a good quality to have in this situation.
“I need to tell her” he sighed…finally.
“Alone?” I asked him almost in a whisper.
“I don’t want her jumping you…so yes” he said. He said it seriously but I couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. He just smirked and walked towards me.
“No matter what happens” he began, taking my hand, “I love you and I always will”
“I love you too” I replied, I kept my tears back as he kissed my forehead and wrapped me in a hug.
“Good luck” I told him as he pulled back.
“I’ll call you” he said.
