The girl glanced at me with contempt, took James's hand, and asked sweetly, "Jimmy, am I the better one?"
James kissed her, smiling arrogantly, "Of course, you're my sweet little darling."
The girl asked playfully, "Jimmy, do you like good girls like her or fierce kittens like me?"
"Kitten," James grinned, nibbling her neck lightly, "You're driving me wild."
The girl turned to me. "Miss, you joining us?"
"She's a dead fish," James said with disdain, "no fun at all."
Then he picked up the girl and went into the room.
Soon, there were suggestive noises from the room.
My heart shattered. I fled the house.
It started to drizzle. I looked up at the lit bedroom, saw two figures tangled together.
That told me a sadder truth.
What I thought was our love nest was actually his cheating ground.
I got goosebumps thinking I once slept in that bed.
The next day, I went back to the house and just packed up my clothes.
Then I burned all the gifts James Johnson and I had given each other, along with the wedding dress.
After that, I made a video call to my bestie and simply said, "James and I broke up."
My best friend wasn't surprised at all. "I told you ages ago that James is a player and not right for you. Congrats, you're finally free."
She then invited me to her karaoke and suggested we hit the bar later for some fun.
I went as planned.
"Are you really okay with breaking up with Christina? She's got a pretty face, a great body, and she's obedient."
As I passed by a room, I clearly heard James's buddy talking.
I stopped and peeked through the crack in the door.
James took a drag of his cigarette, raised his eyebrows, and smiled. "You talk her up so much, do you like her? Go ahead, chase her."
The guys laughed, "Yeah, go for it."
"Seriously, Jimmy, if I went after her, would you regret it?"
"Regret what? Her?" James hugged the girl on his lap tighter, "She's nothing compared to my Abby."
"You know, she's like a dead fish in bed, no fun at all. It was exciting at first, but I got sick of it later."
The girl got jealous. "When I learned how long Jimmy stayed with her, I thought she might be a fairy-like beauty. You don't know, Jimmy dumped me once because of her."
"It's been three months since then, you still remember?"
James pinched her cheek and smiled fondly.
