“Is my breakfast ready?”
I gritted my teeth as I curled my fingers around the edge of the plate.
Life didn’t get any better.
In all the years that had passed since I’d promised myself things would
eventually change for the better, I hadn’t gotten much more than the illusion
of a better life.
That had happened about three years ago when I met my boyfriend,
Kurt. I thought it had been my moment. I believed he was the man with
whom I was going to find something better.
I was wrong.
In my defense, I hadn’t just drawn that conclusion for no reason. Kurt
made it impossible for me to believe anything other than the best about him
and the relationship we had.
In the beginning, it had been so good between us. Great, even. He was
better than I had imagined whenever I dared to dream of that better life I
had hoped to have. To top it off, he didn’t seem to have that wandering eye
that my previous boyfriend had.
Kurt had been interested, attentive. So, it was no surprise it didn’t take
me long to give our relationship everything I had. In my mind, if this was it,
if this was the real deal, I didn’t want to hold myself back from pouring all I
had to give in to it.
And that had been my mistake.
Forcing a smile onto my face even as my stomach clenched with the
revulsion I felt, I turned around with the plate in my hand and answered,
“Your breakfast is right here.”
Kurt was seated at the table I’d already set for him. His cup of piping
hot coffee was already there, along with a napkin, utensils, butter, and
syrup. As I set the plate down in front of him, he barely looked up to
acknowledge me. There wasn’t even a word or nod of thanks.
But that’s what I’d grown accustomed to. If this relationship had been
what I’d thought it was from the start, it would have thrilled me to be able
to wake in the morning and make breakfast for my guy before he went to
work. Because I would have wanted him to have the same that he was
giving me. I’d want him to feel loved and respected.
The way things were between us now, the way they had been for the last
two years or so, I despised making him breakfast. It was simply expected of
me, and not once did Kurt ever show that he appreciated the things I did for
him.
For a brief period at the beginning of the relationship, things were
wonderful. The transition to where things were now had been slow, gradual.
If anything, I was disappointed with myself for not recognizing precisely
where I was headed before we’d reached this point. If I had, maybe I would
have gotten out. I would have walked away.
Now, it was too late.
