I couldn't wait to get home and surprise my husband, I'd arranged to take the afternoon off from my work as a secretary and go home a cook him his favourite meal; steak, cooked medium-rare with a Chimichurri sauce and homemade wedge cut chips all served with an ice cold pear cider.
I packed up my desk and turned off my computer and was putting my coat on and getting my long blonde hair out from inside, swishing to first one side then the other making sure it was clear of my dark brown leather biker style.
"Where are you off to girl?" Came Leroy's booming voice from the other side of the small office.
"I'm off to surprise my husband, with a......" I started before Leroy interrupted.
"Oh yeh, like that is it Tracy." He said chuckling.
"Ha ha, but yes there maybe a little some of that."
"Lucky bastard." Leroy said shaking his head gently. I've worked with Leroy for about 4 years, he was the first person I was introduced to in the office and he kind of took me under his wing and looked out for me over the first few months until I found my feet in the company, I don't know his exact age but I guess he's at least 15 years older than me.
I waved him a little good bye and walked out the door and down the steps to my red Golf GTi, I jumped in and drove off home only stopping on the way home to pick up a couple of bottles of pear cider.
I pulled into our street and saw Eric's, my husbands, car already in our driveway. "Hmmm strange, he never mentioned he had the afternoon off." I thought to myself, "then again I never mentioned I've got the afternoon off. Maybe time for some fun before dinner then." As I got closer I noticed there was another car parked across our driveway, "that looks like Michelle's car, what's she doing here?"
I parked up a little down the road and started towards my house. I peered through my own front window and couldn't see them in there, I went across the lawn to the front door and let myself in quietly, his and her shoes were carelessly scattered to the side of the porch. I listened but couldn't hear any voices just a strange rhythmic sound. I looked around downstairs, not in the lounge, nor the dining room, kitchen or study. "Upstairs then?" As I went upstairs the sound became louder and I could hear Eric's voice but I couldn't work out what was being said. It sounded as though it was coming from our bedroom. I stopped a few steps from the top and leant forward and looked left down the landing to our bedroom, the door was open. I could see a scattering of clothes, clothes which I recognised and some that I didn't. My eyes followed the trail of clothes and then up to the bed, I could see the lower half of Eric on his back, the bed bouncing up and down rhythmically. I now recognised the sound of our bed, the sound of the wooden frame creaking as we have sex. I could just see the back of Michelle, her long brown hair flowing down her back as she tossed her head about and giggled and moaned. They then started to move and I edged back a bit, I watched as Michelle lay on her back across the bed, facing away from me and then Eric came swaggering into view, his hard cock bouncing as he positioned himself between her legs and guided his cock into her.
I just couldn't believe what I was seeing, but I couldn't tear myself away. My husband, Eric. Eric who I'd met when I was 17 and got married to when I was 20. Eric, who I'd been happily married to for 9 years. Eric, who I trusted with my life, the man I was planning on starting a family with, we'd spoken about it and had started trying. Eric, the man who was now ripping my heart out of my chest.
I turned dazed and confused and somewhat stumbled down the stairs, out the front door and into my car were I sat just staring blankly straight ahead. I turned the ignition on, the subtle rumble of the sports exhaust burbling as I then drove off with nowhere to really go or idea of where to go. I drove on autopilot and ended up in a small village at what looked quite a quaint village pub. I walked in and instantly doubled the amount of customers.
The young barmaid smiled and greeted me with a cheery "Hello." I returned the smile and looked passed her at the range of spirits. "Hey, can I get a lime Vodka and lemonade please?"
"No problem, would you like to make it a double?"
I thought about it and nodded as I reached for my purse and fished out a Β£10 note. The barmaid placed the drink on the bar mat and took the money and returned with my change. I sat on a bar stool and stared blankly at my drink, sipping it, just trying to comprehend what I had just seen. Just how long had this been going on? What did she have I didn't?
I finished my drink and nodded for another and the barmaid duly obliged. "Bad day?" She asked.
"You could say that." I then proceeded to tell her what had happened. Her head nodding sympathetically at all the right moments accompanied by the occasional "Oh sweetie" and "that's terrible" and "what an arsehole."
"You know what you want to do, don't you?" She said after I'd finished.
I looked up at her, "no, what's that then."
"Take your revenge on him."
The door then opened and a mixed group of men and women entered and the barmaid was taken away from me and served her new customers.
I jumped down from the stool and walked down to the lower bar and went to the toilet. On my return I was most surprised to see a familiar face standing at the bar. "Leroy?" I questioned. He turned and stared at me and then his big beaming smile spread across his face.
"Whadd'up girl? I thought you were meant to be treating the lucky Eric?" He moved forward and gave me hug and I let myself be taken in his arms. The smell of him filling my senses as I closed my eyes and maybe held on to him that little bit too long. He must've sensed this or have gotten a look from the barmaid. "What's up? What's happened?
I nearly started crying right there in front of him, the emotions and couple of vodka's taking effect.
"Chloe, can you bring my beer over and another of whatever Tracy's had." Leroy said guiding me over to a small table in the corner. Chloe joined us shortly afterwards with a beer for Leroy and another lime vodka and lemonade for me.
"Just so you know Leroy, she shouldn't drive, this is her third." Chloe said placing the drinks down on the table before going back the bar.
