The cab driver didn't seem so happy about taking me so far out of town. So far as I was concerned, he probably thought I wanted to lure him out to the forest so I could murder him. That's normally how these things play out in those Discovery I.D documentaries.
The guy did start to seem a lot more relieved when we got to the lakehouse and he did see that there was an actual house next to a lake. I wasn't even certain if Tobit was home, so I asked the driver to wait for me outside just incase.
Once he stopped the car, I got out. I saw another car standing in the driver. It looked like he had a visitor, which was strange. Tobit never told me of any friends he had, during our time together. I never really asked him, because he didn't seem like the type of guy who'd make many friends and that was one thing I thought we had in common.
I walked up to the doorstep. I stood by the door for a hot minute, thinking if I should just walk in or ring the doorbell first, but the door opening by itself beat me to it and a woman was standing there.
The woman stood tall and her looks and body alone was mindblowing. It was like I was staring at some angel and she just looks so pretty. Yet oddly enough, she was dressed in an outfit that barely covered any skin.
A lot went on in my mind and at the same time I kept questioning myself the entire time, why Tobit didn't answer my messages. A woman I never met was over at his house and clearly instead of answering my texts and abruptly ignoring me, he chose to be in her company. Whoever she was.
It all hit me hard like a truck and I was finally able to connect the dots. He was seeing this woman.
"Hello there, hub." The woman waved. "You must be looking for Tobi..."
"...I was just on my way leaving..." I said and turned on my heels, walking away. I didn't know what to say or think, but all I knew waa that I felt angry and betrayed.
Luckily the Uber driver was still waiting for me and immediately after getting in the car, I told him to go.
"Right on it gurl." He cocked his eyebrows at me through the rearview mirror. He may have tried to flirt with me, but I was too deep into my thoughts to even notice.
He started driving and as soon as we left the roadway to Tobit's lakehouse, I sent him a text telling him that I was getting a transfer that I wanted him to stay away from me. I couldn't believe that I was stupid and I also realised why Matias came at me yesterday.
Matias probably suspected that Tobit was sleeping with other girls and he told me to stay away because he didn't want me to get hurt. All this time Matias wanted to protect me and I felt stupid for pushing him away like that.
Even when I told Tobit about Matias, he didn't seem bothered by it at all, especially after he heard that I denied everything Matias accused me off right before he suddenly left me alone that night. Only to ignore my messages so he could sleep with another woman and stay up all late at night. I fucking hate him!
"Ma'am, where exactly are we going?" The driver asked me. It had been quite awhile since we began driving again and we were already back in town.
The anger came first and followed by that, was the heartache.
"...just take me back..." I whispered, trying to keep the sound of my voice breaking as quiet as possible. I stared out the window and swallowed a lump down my throat.
Underneath all this anger, I felt pain.
