"Cheryl," I breathed out the name almost as if my long dream had come true. I looked at her as if I was seeing her for the first time taking her in. When I saw the ring on her finger, I realised that I shouldn't be looking at her she was no longer mine.

I wanted to stop myself from gawking at her from taking all of her in as if I| was a man starved but I couldn't. I had loved her with my everything and It was hard to forget that. Though I knew I had to move forward but she was the one who had come to me not the other way around. How could I neglect her?

"What are you doing here?" I could hear a different tone in that voice. The same tone that she used for her enemies. "Out here to destroy my celebration?" She taunted making the pretty picture I had of her breaking. She was never like this but I had to remember that I no longer knew her. I almost felt as if I was really doing it.Taking my eyes away from her I looked at the table where my hand rested. The ring finger empty signifying that we had ended. Maybe I should have just walked out of here when I saw them here. There was no way that things between us could change any longer. Not now when she carried a part of him inside of her.

"Actually he is here on a date with me. So I don't think you have right to accuse him of something that he hasn't done."  Allyson spoke up making me look at her.

"I'm sure it is such a coincidence. They happen a lot unfortunately." She added and I looked at Cheryl looking at Allyson with a look as if she was beneath her.

"I don't think I was talking to you." Cheryl snapped at her but Allyson looked as he wasn't fazed. Leaning back on her chair with one of her hand on tha table tapping her nails she looked at her. Giving her a wicked smile she looked at her.

"And I don't think you have any right to accuse my date of anything and if you do have then can you tell me what right do you have to talk to him like that." I could see Cheryl not liking that at all but Allyson enjoying that. I wanted her to stop and I was going to but when I saw Richard in the background I realised that I shouldn't. Why should I stop the only person who was atleast taking my side even though I had not been good to her? In this world where no one had belief in me adn no one cared to step up for me but she was the woman doing it.

"Or do you have any rights to accuse him of that. I mean I don't think you have right over him. He is a free man upto my knowledge here to be on a date with me. Am I wrong anywhere, dear." She didn't hold back in showing cheryl that she didn't belong here. Looking at me she gave me a wink as she looked back at cheryl. I think she was the one enjoying this very much .

"He was my husband who had almost ruined me." Moving towards Allyson she spoke the words in her face.

"Well I don't think you are educated enough. Are you sure you aren't a pre-k student?" I almost wanted to laugh at wht she said but I controlled myself. This wasn't the situation where I should do that. Cheryl the only woman I had loved for so long was standing here being degraded just because she had tried to do so with me. 

I was asking myself for a seocnd thatr why wasn't I taking sides with Cheryl. The woman I had loved the most. the one who I couldn't let go was here but I didn't want in her life any longer. Maybe the news of her pregnancy had been the last starw in making me relaise that there was no way I could get her back that there was no way she was going to leave him even if I proved my inncoence.

"Excues me," Cheryl asked with anger in her voice. "What did you just say?"

"Does she have a hearing problem?" Allyson asked facing me before she turned back to her.

"I asked that were you a pre-k student because ypou really don't seem educated enough." Her face grew seriosu as she sat straighter in her seat.

"Because you don't understand the meaning of the word 'was' or do you?" She paused waiting for Cheryl to say something but nothing came but her hand. I knew waht was coming and I was out of my seat to hold of her hand. She was going to slap her that was what she did whenever she got mad. Allsyon however beat me to it making me left halfway standing. Pulling her hand towards her she had Cheryl stumbling on her foot for a second.

"Wrong move, little girl." She jerked away her hand as she stood up and faced her. She stood a bit taller than Cheryl and that gave her the intimidating look.

"Never dare to do that again and for your reminder as you said he was your husband but he isn't anymore." Her tone a little dangerous and threatning making cheryl take a step back. I looked around and knew very well that everyone looking at us. From the corner it was Richard who was coming to save Cheryl.

"And if he might have ruined you I don't think you would be still standing here and wearing such expenisive clothes. So walk away before I really show what ruining a person is like and don't take it is an empty threat." She threatened her making her take another step back. Cheryl looked at me with anger over her face and then back at Allyson.

"You are taking side of this man the one who has very dirty tastes. I hope you are aware of the fact how he likes it in the bedroom!" Her voice was low for not all of the other people to hear but with the way everyone's eyes were set at us I just wanted this to be over and walk out. Her words boilde the anger inside of me. she never tried ot know the real truth all she knew was what she saw and belived in it. She was here accusing me like ever again but for years the things that were kept under wraps weren't meant to be thrown pout in public.

"I don't mind because I like things dirty too." Allyson said over her face. "And maybe you just couldn't satisfy me because let me tell you this you are a cheap woman. Want to know why because only cheap woman discusses things like these out in public." She spoke to Cheryl before taking a step back and sitting back in her seat.

"Have some class woman." She was back in her saet but Cheryl still standing here.

"Get out," I said my voice loud and clear. Both of the woman looked at me. Allyson staring at me wide eyed while Cheryl standing a little starighter with her face losing some anger.

"Get out of here before you make yourself a laughing stock at the society newspapers tomorrow, Cheryl. Don't put your and your husband's name to shame." I looked at her with my face stoic not letting her show the hurt I had felt from her words.

"Cheryl," Richard came and stopped beside her. "Stop with this madness. You have already made enough of a mess." He seethed. Cheryl tried to say something but she couldn't because it was Richard who dragged her away from there. I stared at the placve where she stood for a long time. Thnking where I had gone wrong.

"Are you all right?" Allyson asked drawing me out of my thoughts. There was concern in her eyes and I gave her a small smile as I sat straighter.

"Thank you," I told looking at her. She gave me a small smile at this.

"No problems boss," she leaned against the table. "Between us I know how to handle the crazy ex-wife or girlfriends. They never liked that someone was grabbing the attention of their man so they came to bark at the wrong tree rather than taking it up with them."  

"Though I should add that might not have been the case with you. I think she didn't like you moving on or being happy in her instance. She wants to see you miserable maybe." She looked at where Cheryl now was. The celebration stopped all togther. I could see they were ready to leave. Allyson sipped from her glass of wine looking at them.

Sometimes it's better to let go and today made me relaise that it was better to let go. There was no way we could take it any longer. Cheryl had crossed the limits that I once did but this was not I wanted for me anymore. I don't want to be drawn back to the same kind of things again. I didn't want to be subjected to the saem hurt again and again knwing that there was nothing worth fighting for. Today only made my belief stronger. Maybe now it was turn to a new page in life.

"Please don't ask me to leave." Allyson said taking me back from my thoughts. I looked at her confused.

"I know your night would have been ruined and I'm really sorry about it but I really don't want to go home and eat ramen or pizza. Please let's eat that delicious food." She looked as if she was a small kid asking for something. A smile grazed my lips at this.

"Let's eat then and if you feel hungry let me know. We surely can order more." I smiled at her. as I asked the waiter where our order was.

Our food had arrived minutes later. Cheryl and Richard had left and there were no more people looking at us as if nothing had happened.

What would happen tomorrow no one knew but I surely could feed a starving woman and be happy about it.

Maybe I needed to start enjoying the small things in life again.
