Chapter 40
She paced back and forth while waiting. She'd been thinking all day about what to say to Shane and now as she waited for him to arrive, she still hadn't come up with anything. Walking into the kitchen, she grabbed an aspirin bottle and shook a few into her hand. After taking them, she headed back out into the living room when there was a knock at the door. She could feel her stomach start to turn as she headed over to the door.
"Hey baby!"
"Hi Shane, come on in."
After giving her a quick kiss on the cheek, he headed over to the couch and sat. She walked over and stood, watching him. Maybe it would all just come to her and she'd get it out and she'd feel better. Maybe.
"So what's up baby? What'd you wanna see me about?"
It'd be better if she just came right out and said it. Yeah, that's how she'd do it. "I need to tell you something, Shane."
"Oh? What?"
"I think we should break up."
"What?! Why!?"
"I've done something, something I'm not proud of."
He swallowed and stared hard at her. "What have you done, Keyana?"
She felt her hands starting to become cold and clammy. She laced them together to stop the shaking and took a deep breath. "Last night, I slept with someone."
"Who?"
"N-Nick Carter." She whispered. When she didn't hear a reply, she looked up to find that Shane was no longer looking at her, but staring hard at the floor.
"So you lied to me before?" Came his cold reply.
"No, I didn't. At that time, nothing had happened."
"Oh I see. So how many times have you two fucked?" Shane spat.
"It's not like that, Shane. Last night was the only time anything happened!" Keyana pleaded with him to understand.
"Oh right, nothing else happened. He never kissed you, or touched you or anything else, right?! " Shane asked quietly, his gaze flying to her.
She looked away from him, the tears stinging her eyes.
"God, I can't believe this, well actually I can. I knew something was going on, you never wanted to talk or kiss or show any affection to me anymore. We even stopped making love and this is why. You told me nothing was going on with him, you swore to me and you lied! Damnit Keyana! I fuckin' love you and you go and pull this shit on me!" Shane yelled.
"I-I'm sorry, Shane I'm so sorry. I never meant for it to happen."
"Oh, I'm sure you didn't."
"Please, Shane, please."
"Two years, two damn years I've invested in this relationship and I thought you were decent, I thought you wouldn't hurt me. I was wrong obviously." He stood and started to walk away.
"Wait Shane...wait please. Let me explain."
He stopped and whirled around. "Do you love him?" He whispered.
She stared at him and slowly brought her gaze down. "I-I don't know." Lifting her eyes, she saw the tears start to well up in his and he turned from her and over to the door.
"Shane! Shane, I'm sorry." She whimpered before he shut the door. Burying her face in her hands, she headed up to her room. It was the right thing to do she kept telling herself, but was it?
