Rhode Island Red
“Two men do not a slut make. But, still and all, two ain’t one.
Aubrey thought it was funny.
Walter didn’t.
No, I didn’t tell him. I didn’t have to. He noticed.
He had just come out of the shower that morning. I was making coffee. By the time he was dressed for work, Walter had turned sullen. He took a seat across from me in the kitchen, ignoring the plate in front of him.
“Just so you don’t think you’re getting away with something, Nan, I know you’re fucking around.”
I didn’t answer.
“Skeevy bi...tch.”
“Cut it out, Walter.”
“Cut what out? You’re dogging around and you know it.”
“Walter, you sound like a tired housewife. I’m not your goddamn property. You never slept with anybody else while we were together?”
Things took the predictable elevator up from there, ending with his wordless, self-righteous departure for the office. He didn’t slam the front door. Matter of fact, he didn’t even bother to close it.
I sat alone for a while, feeling tired and torn—and guilty—until I decided I’d better hit the streets and make some money.MoreLess
