“Where was Rory while you two were fucking?”
“She was with the young woman that she'd be sharing the apartment with. They wanted to explore. She needs to get to know Manhattan without me, so we let her go.”
“Who made the first move?”
“Vivian did. It brought back memories from years ago. Before I knew it, we were undressed.”
“You could’ve said no and sent her home. Why didn’t you?”
“I don’t know. I just thought…I wasn’t thinking. You and I haven’t been getting along and…”
“And you thought fucking someone else would make it all better? Did it?”
“Obviously, no. I wasn’t thinking it would make it all better. I should’ve said no.”
“You should have. How many other women have you fucked behind my back?”
Noah gasps. “None. I would never.”
“Don’t say never because clearly, never doesn’t exist,” I caution.
“No one but her.”
“Say her name, Noah.”
“Vivian.”
“If you wanted her, why didn’t you end it with me? It would’ve been far less painful for you to just dump me than to have me catch you fucking her in my home, our home.”
“I don’t want her. I want you. I want to marry you.”
“I’m not sure if that’s going to happen.”
Noah’s face twists in pain. “Don’t say that. Please don’t.”
“I can’t trust you. The problem still exists. She’s the mother of your child, and that will never end. I don’t want to take you from Rory but I’m not sure how you can be her father and not see Vivian. How will I know when you two are together you’re not having sex behind my back?”
“Because it won’t happen again. I told her it couldn’t happen.”
“How many times did you tell her that before you two fucked?”
“Lexi, please, can you stop saying that.”
“What, fucked? You don’t like it. What should I say then?”
“Anything but that.”
“You want me to pretty up the act. Call it a beautiful symphony.”
“No. I don’t like to hear that word from you so much.”
“Well, too fucking bad, you fuck. You shouldn’t have fucked her and I fucking wouldn’t be saying fuck so much.”
I watch as he scrubs his face with both hands. My expletives have the desired effect. I want to make him as uncomfortable as I was when I saw them yesterday. Of course, nothing could compare to the shock that I can’t erase from my mind. I have to make it more visual for him.
“How would you like it if you walked in on me screwing JC? Would you forgive me the way you want me to forgive you so easily?”
“Probably not.”
