Lustful love

Chapter 4| Aftermath

After the convention Lana wanted to tell Alfredo everything. She wanted to just get it all out. She knew it would hurt him but not telling him would hurt him even worse. They barely had a marriage now. They never did anything together, they never had sex and it was getting more platonic as the years went on.

She walked into the house and he was sat on the sofa watching television. She put her suitcase upstairs and then came downstairs to sit with him. She took a deep breathe in and then out before entering the room.

"Hey babe." He said pulling her in for a hug and a kiss. God how could she do this to him? But she just came out with it.

"I slept with Sean...Twice."

"YOU DID WHAT?!"

"You heard me."

There was a long pause. Alfredo looked away with anger.

"When you were away on business a month ago we went out for dinner and both of us got mortal drunk. That was the first time. Then me and Sean shared a room in Paris and it happened then too. But there's more."

Alfredo looked at her with heartache. He loved her with all his heart even though the marriage was dead. He wouldn't ever have thought she was a cheat.

"More?" he questioned rhetorically frowning his brows.

"He told Tanya. His former wife. Now they're getting a divorce because we want to be together. That's why I'm telling you now so I wasn't unfaithful to you anymore than what I've already been. I'm sorry but you were distant from me for so long I ended up falling out of love with you. We'd go weeks without seeing each other. We haven't had sex in over a year and I love sex. You know I do. Me and Sean have this connection that we didn't know was there until we shagged-"

"Stop I don't wanna hear anymore. I thought you weren't ever going to do this to me. You are the love of my life-"

"Don't be cringe."

"It's true Lana. Everyday I think of how lucky I was to meet such a beautiful, strong and talented person. There isn't anyone in the world that is like you. You were my girl. I love you. I am so sorry I led you to do this. I will leave you if that's what you want but I'm having this house as it is legally mine. You can go to LA as you have your own home there. I would say I want to stay in contact with you so we could be friends. But you don't really become friends with your ex husband."

He stopped. He pulled Lana close to him. She looked into his brown orbs.

"I am really sorry." she whispered before kissing his cheek. She placed a kiss on his cheek and walked upstairs to call Sean. It's crazy how everything had ended so quickly. Lana sent sean a text.

Hey. Fred knows about us and he is gonna leave me but I have to move to LA as he wants our house in Vancouver. He didn't take it too well as I can hear him crying downstairs which I haven't ever heard him do. I'm such a fucking idiot.

After a few minutes she got a reply.

You did what was best. I will book our flights to LA and we can move together as Tanya wants this house too. Everything will be ok. You are gonna be ok.

Lana wiped away the tears that had fallen while reading the text. She started to pack everything up in her room into suitcases.

Can we drive to LA as I have to take all my belongings as that house literally had furniture and probably some spoiled milk in the fridge.

Yeah that's fine. I need to bring my stuff down too so we can go in separate cars as I have a lot.

She packed her clothes into suitcases also throwing out anything she didn't like or hadn't ever worn. Fred came up the stairs into the same room.

"Can I keep that?" He asked as Lana held a grey night dress which he had given to her as a present. "I want something to remind me of you."

"Yeah sure."

She carried on packing and he went into the bathroom. Everything was all too much for him. He had been through one divorce already and now he was gonna go through another.

It was late so Lana had a shower and got into bed. They shared a bed for the last time. Yes it was strange they did that but it was only so she could comfort him. The next morning she packed everything else and drive to Sean's ready to leave.
