I know it is very old stoy, but I read it now and wanted to write my continuation on story 'Something we need to talk about' by nici. If you think it was waste of time writing on that old story no need to read it, ignore it. Dont be to harsh while judging. No Sex.
Jonathan sitting there on chair thinking about what lawyer had said to him. He was in dilemma. He could not divorce his wife. He could not stay married to her. He could not hurt her. How could he end this pain? A thought crossed his mind. He got up from his chair, went to drawer where they had kept gun. He picked the gun, pointed it to his head, and then he thought about his family, his wife, and what happened in last two days, he wanted to remember everyone he loved, his wife, his kids...his kids...what about them...what is going to happen to them...how would they take death of their father...he had not been there for them for some time but no one can love them as much as he love them..Would the new man Susan loves will love them too. Will Susan care enough for them after he is dead? Of course she would, she is their mother. But her lover matters to her more, more than him, her husband of 15 years, could he matter more than their kids. As these thoughts crossed his mind, he became more and more worried about his kids. What would happen to them, who will care for them? He could not rely on Susan's lover, the creep who need woman's skirt to hide when he was supposed to fight his depression. No, a low life like him could never be good for his daughters. No he could not afford to die, he has to live, and he had to live for his kids.
More he thought more depressed he got. He has no choice, but he can't live like this. He has to do something. He has to do something for their kids. But, what can he do? Susan has closed all the doors. He could not do anything. No that is not true, he can do but he cannot afford to get his kids suffer. Susan never once thought about them, if she had she would have not said what she said that night. He has to do something. Something soon, otherwise it would kill him. He has to make sure his kids live happily in this family. But he could not allow his wife to have lover while they are married. He has to come up with something, something he needs to do for his family. He spent his whole day thinking about it. Finding numbers and contacts and making calls.
It was 5 in the evening when Susan pulled in driveway. Jonathan was sitting on chair, when she entered. He was calmer than before, quitter, and ...seemed sad.
"Jonathan I sorry the way..." were the words got out of mouth when she was interrupted by him.
"Save it, save it for later. Susan. You might not feel the same way after I tell you what I am going to do.", He said in very calm and cold voice. He directed his hand to tell her to sit against him on chair.
"Last time it was you telling me, how this is going to be, but today it is my show, I will tell you what I am going to do. ", he was cold as ice, what was he going to say. He stood up, turn his back towards her.
"You said I am fat, I am bald, and I am unattractive. I can't even find a woman for one night stand", Susan remember those things , but hearing it now when in right mind, now she knew what she had done, she had hurt him, very bad, but..
"But I didn't mean those things Jonathan, I said..." Jonathan didn't let her complete her sentence. He was not interested in anything she has to say.
"It does not matter, what you meant Susan, I know I am fat, bald and unattractive, so will you in few years, And I hope you lover will say same thing to you, you said to me, I think you said He is younger, and day will come when he will see you as you saw me. And I hope you will be as much hurt as I was. You were probably right, about attracting a girl. So you see Susan, all things you said, were true. So it does not matter what you meant. Only thing matters is YOU SAID THOSE, and You said those to hurt me, I am hurt, I know I am all those things you said but Susan it hurts to listen them from someone you love, someone you could die for, someone who promised to love you for whole life, for better and worse", he stopped. A drop from his eye on his cheek. But he could not let it be seen.
Susan could sense he was hurt, probably beyond repair. The damage she had done she might never be able to repair. But she still loved him. Didn't she?
"But Jonathan, I still love you...", again interrupted by him.
"Stop that crap already, Susan, will you?"
"You can think whatever you want, you may think you love me, or you can pretend to get what you want, but all you want from me is someone to pay for you, this household. So that you can have your fun with younger and skillful lover. Never use that word again in front of me, I swear I will...." he felt gaze building inside him. But he could not let that happen, he has to be calm. He needs to finish this.
"So, Susan, as you said you will continue having sex with your lover, and you said I have to sit in the house while you having fun with your low life creep", listening these words from him and like that sounds sleazy and he demeaning Rich.
"Jonathan, he is not bad person, he is very kind and considerate, he is just hurt," she just started but just too interrupted.
"Oh come on Susan, you can't believe, he is good person, I can agree with you he is handsome, and better than me in bed, but don't sell this bullshit about being a good man, And for being him hurt and you being earth mother to help some guy by giving him you body, body you promised in front of god to be mine and mine only, you can cross yourself also from my book of honest person. That is only thing making you believe he is good person. Two low-life creep thinking highly of each other"
"And don't act so highly in front of me. Show you're this side to someone who does not know about you warming someone else's bed for a year, you bad-mouthing your husband, while he is killing himself with work so that his family would have everything they need. Not, so that his wife can play house with some low-life creep. When she was supposed to love his husband only, she is been spreading her love to some other basted, like a cheap whore"
"JONATHAN? I WONT ALLOW THAT..." she was angry, how he could call her so many names.
"JUST SHUT UP BITCH, IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT YOU ALLOW OR NOT ANYMORE....this is last time I am talking to you, NO...I am telling to you what I am going to do, If you don't want to listen, then don't be surprised when things happen, and don't say I did not warn you."
She heard it, she has to listen what he wanted to say, he said it was last time, is he going to divorce her, but she did not want divorce, why he could not understand. It will be over, and they can go back to the way they were. It is nothing to with him.
"Jonathan, It does has to be this way, I still love you...", again she was interrupted.
"Take your love to your lover and ask him to shove to up in your ass." she was shocked, how could he talk to her this way, she was mother of his children. But she could not say anything; it was his show she has to listen.
"Susan, things you said, you said to hurt me. Which are the only thing matters now, You WANTED to hurt me, it is not someone who loves you do, but you did those things, Cheating on me was not enough for you and your lover you wanted to rub it on my nose. You and that low-life bustard."
"You can tell me how good person he is, But Susan all you will say does not change the fact that he destroyed my family, Because of him, I lost my wife, Because of him my wife does not care for me and hurt me, Because of him, my kids will suffer, because of him my wife does not even care about my kids."
"Jonathan how dare you say," was the word came out of her mouth.
"Shut up you bitch..." anger was coming out, but he did not want to he has to be calmer."Susan,, you don't see the things I am seeing, You said you love me, you might but what I see you love him more than you love me, if you do at all, And kids, when you said you will divorce me, to let me live on street, and to suffer my whole life, but can't stop seeing him. You proved he matters more than I ever did to you. But you must know Susan you will suffer too, but more than anything my kids will suffer too, they will be living without both parents. So Susan, you cared for this creep more than your own kids. You can say he was sick, and you wanted to save him, But if it was me I would like to die before doing this to a family."
"Thousands of people die in this country every day, one more will not cost anything to this world, but how many wants to live at cost of destroying a family, very few, and very low-life bastards, like your stud boy, and slut like you let that happen.."
"DO I love you? Yes more than you could ever imagine. Do I want to hurt you? You have no Idea how much. Will I hurt you? Never Susan never, and that is the worst part of this. But I can let my kids suffer. They need both parents. I won't let that low-life creep come into my kid's life."
She sat there listening to each words, could someone be so hateful. So cold, what is he going to do, could he hurt her more than he already had with his hateful words? Room was silent for a while; no one spoke for a moment. It seemed to be longest moment.
"Susan, as much I love you I can live with you now, knowing how much you hurt me, it is impossible for me to live with you. Now Susan listens to me and listens carefully."
She came out of her thought, he was calm again. He seemed to be resolved. He had already thought what he was going to do.
"I am divorcing you Susan,"
"You can't do that, I will take you to cleaners, you will have nothing, why are you doing this, why can't you just let me do this and ...he takes nothing from you, It has nothing to do with you, I love you as much."
"You can fight as much you want, but as I told you and our kids will suffer to, If pushed I might quit working, then you can shove plan you and you sleazy lover made, shove up your ass. You will get nothing from me, I will suffer, but I will not let you and you Lover are happy at my cost."
