It was like it was happening right in front of my eyes. l stood there and watched my husband's hands roam all over my sister's body, and I was unable to take my eyes off the whole scene.
Tears welled in my eyes as I watched my best friend since childhood betray me with my own flesh and blood. A crushing weight coming from my chest threatened to suffocate me.
I balanced myself over the door frame so that my emotions didn't weigh me down.
He looked at her with the kind of emotions that he used to look at me with. I saw the love that he felt for her in his eyes, and the smile on her face was a sign of their ultimate betrayal. I wanted to scream at them to stop, but they were so lost in each other's eyes and bodies that they didn't care about their surroundings, so l remained quiet.
I watched thrust after thrust, moan after moan, and whispered sweet nothings until my heart was completely shattered into a thousand pieces, and I couldn't watch anymore.
My hands were trembling as I reached inside my bag to take my phone. I felt cold and numb, but I still wanted to capture this moment because I knew that if I told anybody else, then they wouldn't believe me because I could hardly believe it myself. I needed to capture this as proof to myself that I didn't make it all up in my head and that I was not dreaming because this felt like a nightmare that just got more and more horrible.
I could barely think about anything as I opened the camera app, and I turned it towards them. They were so lost in their moment that they couldn't even look at their surroundings.
I was trembling, but somehow, I managed to hold my phone steadily, focusing on everything that was happening right in front of my eyes.
It just went on and on like they couldn't keep their hands off each other. it felt like maybe I was the sidekick, and they were the true lovers because they weren't just f******. They were making love.
I don't know how I found the strength, but I zoomed in to watch the whole thing on a smaller lens. Maybe I thought it would be different, but this was my reality.
It took a few minutes, but then it happened. A change in movement and a change in behaviour. The lighting of the camera seems to have drawn Lawrence's eyes straight to me. He looked at me in what looked like disbelief and surprise, but I'm sure if my face mirrored anything, then it was definitely a shock.
It seems like it took a few seconds for him to quickly come to the realization of what was happening right in front of his eyes, and I saw his entire demeanour crumble. He jumped off Lisa in an almost comical way, but it wasn't funny. He now looked pale with fear. His hands moved to cover his wet d**k, but it was too late.
"Baby." He said, moving closer to me with panic written all over his face, but I was rooted to the ground.
My sister, on the other hand, was scrambling to cover her naked body. She tried, but all means to pull the sheet towards her body.
"What, w-what are you doing back home?" She stammered, her eyes darting between the both of us.
"You filthy pigs!" I finally managed to choke out even though I was overwhelmed with the amount of pain that I was feeling.
I think the weight of the actions finally dawned on them because I saw realization wash all over my sister's face.
"Baby, let's talk." Lawrence said, trying to grab the phone from me. It nearly slipped from my grasp, but I managed to hold it like it was my last lifeline.
"How could the both of you do this to me?" I asked, completely shattered because these were the two people that I trusted the most in the whole world.
I didn't even wait to hear their excuses as I turned and fled. Lawrence was right behind me, trying to chase me, but I was filled with adrenaline.
I could hear Lisa as well. She was screaming my name pathetically with a bunch of apologies. I remember just how much l could never tolerate hearing her cry, and I could give her the whole world if she shed a tear, but she destroyed everything today.
I've always felt safe with Lawrence, but for the first time today, I knew that if he caught me, then he would do something bad to me, and I couldn't let that happen to my baby.
When I looked back at the distance between us, I saw something in his eyes that I'd never seen to date. I didn't see the love or nonchalance that he had. I didn't see the gentleman or the perfect guy that I always seemed to see when I looked at him.
I saw somebody who was ready to hurt me.
Luckily, I managed to reach the door before he could catch me, but I still didn't stop as I ran towards my car. I knew he wouldn't follow me because once he was naked, he wouldn't risk anybody seeing him for what he truly was.
A lying, cheating ass of a husband.
I quickly got inside my car, and I locked myself inside with the phone safely in my hands.
I couldn't help but look back as I drove my car away as quickly as I could because I couldn't risk him following me.
l saw both of them staring at me in that window that I used to stand at every time I waved him off to work.
I didn't know where I was going, but I was damn sure that I was going to make them pay for everything they had done to me, even if it was the last thing that I did.
