“Hello Love.”
Mulo stood in
the doorway waiting for me. He was shirtless and the button on his pants was
undone. I was temporarily surprised to see him only half-dressed this late in
the morning.
“How soon can we
leave?” I asked thrusting the paper at him. “She sent a singing telegram! Like
this is all some sort of joke! That bitch needs to die!” The anger and
frustration I’d felt after that performance had only grown.
I heard movement
on the steps and moments later a scantily dressed blonde came walking down. I
watched as she walked over and gave Mulo a kiss.
“Call me,” she
said before throwing a quick glance at me then walking out the door.
A few moments
later a second blonde, dressed in even less clothing, came down the stairs. She
frowned at me before also giving him a kiss then waving goodbye. I guess I was
interrupting, but they’d have to get over it.
“You sure know
how to keep busy,” I said unable to mask the annoyance in my voice.
Mulo gave me his
signature smirk. “Now Love, you don’t go to bed alone, why should I? You know,”
he said taking a step towards me, “that if you want to be the one warming my
bed at night, all you have to do is say so.”
I took a deep
breath and swallowed back my retort. I was married. I didn’t care who he slept
with. Or at least I shouldn’t. I needed to remember why I was here. I walked
into the kitchen and poured myself a glass of juice.
“So, how soon
can we leave?” I asked again, forcing my misplaced feelings of jealousy aside.
Mulo took a look
at the paper. “An hour, maybe two, I’ll need to make a call. You don’t have to
go. Now that I know where she is, I can handle it.”
“What? No!” I
yelled slamming the glass on the counter. “I want to be there. I need to be
there. I need to watch that meddling, hateful bitch take her last breath!” I
started pacing. How could he even think I wouldn’t see this through to the end
after everything Marisol had put me through?
“I know you want
to be there, but…”
“No buts Mulo!”
“But,” he said
again interrupting me. “What if something goes wrong? You have children that
need you.”
