LOVE INTERRUPTED AND IGNITED
xI Cannot Believe My Eyes: Why Is Norm With Another Woman?!
I’ve just finished lunch with my girlfriend, step outside the cafe and see my lover with another woman
My best friend and I just finished brunch where I confessed to having an extra-marital affair, wallowed, cried, laughed, and resolved to seek help. The wait staff was probably relieved that we were leaving their establishment after over two and a half hours of above the acceptable volume level camaraderie. Connecting with my bestie was what I needed.
Celie and I step out into the afternoon. A frigid gust of wind hits us just as I see Norm walking toward us with | a | woman.
Both Celie and I catch our breaths. I’m not sure what got my friend. Maybe it was the gust or how good-looking Norm is that made her gasp. Or, maybe like me, it was the stunning white woman with long, flowing blonde hair and piercing blue eyes in the crook of his arm.
The pang of feral jealousy that rose within me came with an angry inhale of air.
She wore a form-fitting multi-colored dress that complemented her tan skin and toned legs. On her arm, Norm looked exquisite. He is such a handsome black man — with chiseled features and a fine muscular build, not bulky, virile. They looked like a couple walking down the street toward me. Their bodies were close together as they moved in sync.
The woman looks at him with adoration and affection, with a small smile. She holds onto his arm with a possessive grip, her body language conveying her emotion.
Norm returned her gaze, he was laughing and his eyes sparkling with, dare I say it, love and joy.
“What the fuck?!” the words escaped me before I could stop them and were much louder than I wished.
Norm turned to me then. His eyes widened in recognition, and his smile grew wide.
Almost instinctively, he moved to me, edging himself out of the woman’s arms.
“Oorun,” he says.
My name on his lips made me shiver.
Celie’s voice snapped me out of my trance. “Is this Norm?” she asked with a loud, knowing smirk. “And who is this?” she asked, looking at the woman.
Norm looked from Celie to me and then turned back to the woman.
My heart sank, and I stood there, astonished, as Norm introduced me to his girlfriend, Giselle.
