“Save it, Fuckface, I’m sure Shelly will be very interested in the video I shot of you two.”
I could see the sudden panic in Cindy’s eyes. “No Mike, please honey, this was all a mistake. Please don’t say anything to Shelly, it’s just a misunderstanding.”
I laughed, “Yeah, I’m sure it was just a mistake that Fuckface here had his hand up your skirt and you had your tongue down his throat. And I’m sure I am completely misunderstanding what those actions mean. — Give me a break!”
I turned to head back to my table to grab my bag.
“Where are you going? Come back! We have to talk.”
I spun around. “Way too late for talking now, Slut! I’m headed home, I’ll have your shit in your parents’ driveway before you get home tomorrow.”
I then turned back to my table, handed a fifty to the stunned waitress who had witnessed the entire event, and said, “Keep the change.”
I snatched up my bag and sped down the walkway towards my gate. I heard Cindy calling out to me as she tried to catch up with me. When I got to the gate she grabbed my arm and spun me around.
I screeched like a little girl then yelled “SECURITY!”
“You have to let me explain! It was not …”
“HELP ME! SECURITY!”
A burly guard ran up to us. “What’s going on here?”
“This crazy woman is grabbing at me and blabbering on about something.” I looked her up and down. “My god! I think she peed herself! Do something, Officer!”
Cindy tried to speak but the guard cut her off. “You need to calm down, Miss.”
I leaned in, “Officer, just keep her away from me, I’m getting on my flight now!”
As I rushed away I could hear Cindy yelling at him as the officer said, “You’ll need to come with me, Miss.”
When I got home, Bill and Kathleen, Cindy’s parents were there waiting for me.
“Michael, What in the world is going on? Cindy said you nearly got her arrested over some silly misunderstanding.”
I popped my trunk and retrieved my bag. I wheeled it to the door. “Come inside and I’ll explain.” I directed them to my kitchen table. “Please have a seat.”
I went to my liquor cabinet and poured myself a small bourbon. I waved the bottle at Bill and he shook his head. I carried my drink back to the table and sat down. This was not going to be easy. I really liked Bill and Kathleen, they did not deserve what was about to happen.
“Okay Son, tell us what happened,” Bill said.
“Mom, Dad, I’m sorry but I’m divorcing Cindy. (Kathleen gasped) She has been cheating on me with her boss and I just can not live with that.”
“Now hold on there, Son. Cindy said you saw her sitting with her boss while they had dinner and thought something was going on. I know he is a married man, so I’m sure you were mistaken.”
I looked at the two kind souls seated at my table. These are good people, they would never believe their daughter was a cheater and it was tearing me up to know I was about to break their hearts.
“I’m sorry, I know what I saw and I am definitely NOT misunderstanding what I saw.”
Kathleen put a gentle hand on my forearm. “Michael, dear, I’m sure what you think you saw must have upset you, but you know Cindy loves you and would never do what you think she did.”
