With cake and wine in hand, Violet was so excited for her surprise. She slowly opened the door. What greeted her was a sight of disorderly clothes and shoes, littering the floor from the door to the bed. When her sight finally turned to the bed, there she saw two naked bodies entangled to each other. And from her angle she could see that the man was still inside the woman despite the fact that the both of them were sound asleep. This might have happened for a few seconds but for her, it felt like an eternity.
"What the fuck..." said Violet seething in anger. She lost control of her hands causing the cake to smashed to the floor and for the wine to shatter and spill onto the carpet staining it.
The two were abruptly woke up then full of shock they saw the woman by the door.
With each passing moment, she could feel the anger gnawing and filling her entire being. She imagined a lot of scenarios of what could happen at this instant but she was sober and calm enough to think things through thoroughly. If it was any other girl, they would have lashed out, beaten the crap out of this snakes, chop that cheater, and curse their entire generation of family. But she knew she was better than this even if its already killing her inside. She experienced this too many times, not her own experience but from her best friends. Melody and Thea. What they did. What those scumbags did to them. What were their outcome. The consequences. The damage. Their brokenness. She knew them all too well for she was always there to pick up the pieces. It just that, she didn't even for a moment thought that it would happen to her too. She knew she doesn't deserve this. She doesn't want to be the loser that stupidly begs for another person's love. Her pride and dignity won't allow her to.
Violet stood there menacingly. Her calmness and silence creeped out both the man and woman. The man quickly pulled himself out from the woman and stood up. Reaching out to Violet.
"V-Vi-Violet I could explain" said the man with difficulty. He stepped closer.
"Don't touch me! You disgust me. What's there to explain? Is there something you could say that will change what I saw?" sarcastically remarked Violet.
The man turned to the woman on the bed then said, "Leave"
The woman scrambled to get out of bed and picked up her clothes hastily. Getting out of the room, she dressed sloppily and ran out of the house then slammed the door behind her. The sound echoing throughout the house but didn't lessen the tension between the two.
"Follow me" commanded Violet as she carefully avoided the shards on the floor and made her way to the living room then seated herself by the sofa.
Terrified, the man followed not noticing the hazards on the floor until he stepped on it.
"Ackk! Fuck!" he reached to his foot removing the glass. He took his shirt on the floor and used it to stop the bleeding then limped towards the living room.
Violet tried her utmost control to steel her heart. To stop herself from caring. Hearing his shout, she almost ran towards him but was reminded of the earlier scene. She clenched her fist so hard to the point her nails were already digging onto her palm.
