Chapter Eight: Bittersweet
Wally’s eyes grew wide at the sound of the voice from across the room as it entered his ears once again. “I’m not interrupting anything, am I?”
“Oh, shit,” Wally said to himself as he felt Abby’s hands leave his body.
Abby slightly leaned to one side to look around him. “Who are you?” she asked suspiciously. “And how do you know my name?”
“I’m Kuki,” a smug look appeared on the Asian woman’s face as she shifted the two year old boy resting on her hip. “Kuki Lawerance. Gavin’s wife.” Abby grasped at the answer.
“Ex-wife.” Wally finally turned to look at her. “What the hell are you doing here, Kuki?” he asked angrily.
“Apparently, about to catch you in the middle of doing something very naughty.” Her smile never left her face as she looked over Abby. “So, is this the infamous Abigail I’ve heard so much about?” Abby was speechless as she shook her head in confusion. “Let me guess, Gavin hasn’t said a single word about me? You would think the mother of his child would get a little more respect.”
“Just take Kevin and go home Kuki,” Wally began. “Gavin pays enough for that damn house of yours, the least you can do is stay in it.”
“Fine, I have no reason to stay,” she explained. “I only came to see Gavin, but since it looks like you’re in the middle of playing with his girlfriend, I’m sure he isn’t here.” She stared at Wally for a moment before speaking again, “You’re no better than he is, W.B. In fact, you’re worst, because you know exactly where this is all leading.” She turned around to leave and asked with her back to the couple before disappearing. “What’s that saying again, Wally, ‘an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth’?”
Wally let out a large breath as he finally heard the faint sound of the front door close. “Fuck!” he yelled, slamming his fist on the table.
“W.B.,” Abby began gently. “Is that little boy really Gavin’s child? And what did she mean by that eye and tooth thing?” Wally said nothing as seethed in his anger. After another moment, Abby reached out for him and placed her hand on his shoulder. “W.B.?”
“Get off me,” he rolled his shoulder violently to shake her off and walked away from her. “Go home.”
Abby slowly slipped down off the table with narrowed eyes. “What’s going on? I want to know,” she told him as she followed him.
“My stomach’s full and the mood is ruined.” He started up the stairs. “I have no use for you, get out.”
“What?” Abby shot back as she continued to follow. “Look, I don’t know who that woman is, or why she has effected you so, but you will not talk to me like that. Like I’m some-”
“Whore?” Wally interrupted her as he reached the top of the stairs and walked down the hall. “Slut, maybe? Bitch even?” He turned around to face her as she also reached the top of the stairs. “I don’t want to look at you, much less fuck you, alright?” He pointed down the hall. “I’m going to the bathroom and when I come back out, you better not be here.” He then turned around, entered the bathroom, and closed the door behind him.
Abby protectively wrapped her arms around herself. “What the hell I do, W.B.?” she asked, but once again got no response. She took a ragged breath as she turned around and went back downstairs to leave the house.
Wally sat on the edge of the tub with his face in his hands as be breathed heavily. Why did she have to come here? He thought. Why did she have to be right? Wally shook his head, he knew better than to let her get to him. The woman whom he had loved with everything that was him. The woman whom he had asked to be his wife. The woman who had agree only to turn around and betray him with his own cousin.
Wally stood up and looked at himself in the mirror. Was Kuki right? He couldn’t help but think. Are you trying to hurt him, the way he hurt you? He shook his head as he looked down into the sink. Of course not, you didn’t even know who she was. He justified, but then scoffed at himself. But you sure the hell knew who she was downstairs. He then repeated his words from before. “Not mine.”
But he then thought angrily. But Kuki was yours! She was your fiancée! And did he care? No! So why shouldn’t you fuck his beloved girlfriend? Why shouldn’t you get her pregnant and make him look at the child that should have been his own? Why don’t you just hurt him the way he hurt you!
“NO!” Wally yelled as his fist went flying into the mirror in front of him, shattering it to pieces. He closed his eyes tightly as his bottom lip began to quiver. “No,” he whispered as he slide to his knees, not caring that the broken pieces of the mirror where digging into his skin. “No.”
OoOoO
The rain started to pour as Abby walked out the house. She ran to her car and got inside. She was wet, cold, and upset as she started it up. She stifled back tears as she drove down the roads. When she approached a red light, she attached her cell phone to her car phone system and quickly dialed her boyfriend’s number. “Gavin here.”
“Wife!” she yelled immediately. “You had a wife! You have a child!”
“Aw, crud,” was his response.
“She knew who I was Gavin,” Abby explained. “You hadn’t even mentioned her once to me. Not once, you bastard!”
“Dove, calm down,” he pleaded. “I was going to tell you. I was just waiting for the proper time.”
“Don’t give me that bullshit. You could of told me anytime. I would have understood, but no. You keep me in the dark about everything.” She turned a corner. “About what you do, about your phone calls, about your ex-wife and her kid, and your family.” Abby then suddenly laughed, but it was joyless. “Is she the one who's always calling you, huh?” There was no reply. “Gavin!”
“About half the time, yeah. She's kind of demanding when it comes to our son,” he explained. “Me and Kuki ended a long time ago, but I’m going to do right by my son.” He then added softly, “W.B would kill me if I didn’t.”
A confused expression crept onto Abby’s face. “What does she have to do with W.B.?” she asked.
She heard Gavin exhale. “Um, that’s something we should discuss face to face,” he told her. “I’ll be home in two days.”
“No. I want to know now.”
“Dove-”
“Now!” she demanded.
“I don’t want to talk to you when you’re like this. So I’ll see you in two days.” He hung up the phone.
Abby who had had her eyes on the road, looked down at her cell phone in disbelief before pushing the redial button. But Gavin didn’t answer, he just allowed the phone to ring, so as Abby waited for him to pick up she adjusted her rear view mirror above her hear. She then titled her head curiously to the side as she notice a green sedan behind her.
If she didn't know better, she would have thought it was following her, but that was ridiculous, she thought as she shrugged the matter away. Giving her attention back to the phone, which was still ringing, Abby was about to end the call when finally someone picked up. “Hello?”
“Joey?” Abby softened her voice. “Can you please put Gavin on the phone?”
“I can’t. When the phone started ringing again, he left the room. I- I think he’s upset, real upset. I don’t like to mess with him when he’s upset.” Abby noticed that Joey sounded a whole lot like Wally had that day in the hospital.
“Alright,” she continued calmly. “When he calms down, just tell him I’ll see him in a few days.”
“Okay, bye Abigail.”
“Bye, Joey.” Abby ended the call as she continued to wonder how Wally was related to Kuki.
OoOoO
Wally leaned back on the tub as he watched the blood flow from his hand. He then slowly got up to address his wound before he opened up the bathroom door. “Abigail?” he called, but wasn’t surprise when all he heard were his own footsteps as he walked back down the hall towards his bedroom.
He closed the door behind him and fell back into his bed. His eyes were opened, but unfocused, as he allowed his vision to blur. He didn’t mean to say those things to her, but he had no choice, he had to make a clean break. It was just easier if one of them hated the other. Wally just didn’t want what went down between him and Kuki to happen to Abby and Gavin. Him and Gavin were a lot alike, and Wally knew he, himself, had a hell of a temper when provoked. It was a temper that was only rivaled by one other person, his cousin.
Silent tears slid from Wally’s face as he remembered the night Kuki had told him she was pregnant. He was nervous, yet excited about the news of the arrive of their first child, but then he had noticed the worry look on Kuki’s face. He had asked her what was wrong, but wasn’t prepared for the answer as his jaw hit the floor when she told him that the baby wasn’t his.
Needless to say, Wally grew angry and demanded to know whom she was sleeping with, but she refused and just hoped that he would forgive her. Wally then told her he would not raise another man’s child, no matter how much he loved her. He told her to abort the pregnancy, but she said she wanted it. Wally then counter by saying that if she didn’t get rid of it, that they were through.
She asked him to be understanding. She told him she loved him and that she didn’t want to lose him over this. Wally then said to her if she didn’t want to lose him, she should have never cheated on him. She started crying after those words, but Wally was still too upset himself to comfort her. He then asked her again, who the child belong to and as her glossy eyes once again looked into his and she whispered the name of the man she had been seeing, Wally lost it.
He had never meant to harm her the way he had. He never meant to put his hands on her like that. He had just been so devastated and so brokenhearted, that he just couldn’t control himself. And he didn’t want that for Abby.
Wally sat up and threw his legs over the edge of his beg. After that night, Gavin was determined to do the right thing and so he and Kuki got married, though they didn’t love each other. The marriage didn’t last long, but Kuki and Kevin were taken care of very nicely. “How could he do that to me?” Wally voice shook as he thought out loud. “How?”
Wally rose from his bed as he sighed realizing that Kuki’s uninvited visit was probably a blessing in disguise. He walked over to his dresser where a picture of Kuki and himself still resided, he just never had the heart to throw it out or even put it away. He hated that every time he looked at it, he was faced with the cold hard truth. . . he still loved her.
