8. I Can Be Happy Too

The next morning, Tammy stared blankly at the figure lying on her living room carpet. The room was so messy with a dozen beer cans, and even peanut shells scattered on the coffee table, sofa, and carpet as well.

The room was very messy, and the one who should be responsible for the mess was the person lying on the carpet. Of course, Jessica wasn't the only one who downed twelve cans of beer last night. Tammy also drank with the blonde woman, but the one who was drunk last night was the blonde woman. That's why the blonde woman was causing chaos in the living room in her drunken state.

Yesterday, Jessica even said she wanted to have genital surgery, but of course, that was just the blonde woman's nonsense and not really what she wanted to do.

Tammy shook her head tiredly when she recalled all those bad memories, but then she used her foot to nudge the older woman's shoulder. She intended to wake the woman up, but the woman only groaned like a child before muttering, "Why are you kissing my shoulder instead of my lips, Nu? These are my lips in case you forgot. Here, here, come and kiss me immediately."

Tammy furrowed her eyebrows when she saw how the blonde woman made a kissy face in front of her. The blonde woman deliberately pursed her lips while asking for a kiss. Her eyes were still closed, and Tammy knew the woman wasn't awake yet.

The way Jessica said the nickname "Nu" was easy for Tammy to understand. She knew Jessica used to call her husband by that nickname, and she also knew that the blonde woman wouldn't use that nickname if she were truly sober.

Tammy assumed that Jessica probably forgot what happened yesterday, and she felt bad before saying, "Just in case you forgot, your husband cheated on you yesterday. He has a lover behind your back, and that person is a man. To make it worse, your husband refused to divorce you. Just in case you forgot, your husband insists on using you to cover up his relationship with that man."

Even though Tammy felt bad seeing her friend's condition, she remained frank when reminding her friend about everything that happened yesterday. As a result, Jessica's blue eyes finally widened in surprise, and she looked blank for a moment before starting to wail.

The blonde woman looked like a child throwing a tantrum and even kicked everything within her reach while lying down on the carpet. The messy room was even messier because of her actions, and Tammy looked frustrated while helplessly scratching her head, which wasn't actually itchy.

"Calm yourself, sis. If you continue to act like this, you will only look pathetic when your husband can live happily with his boyfriend. If you want to take revenge on your husband, then you have to appear strong and happy. Show him that you can live without him," Tammy voiced a suggestion in the end, and Jessica finally stopped what she was doing.

The blue-eyed woman even got up from her lying position on the carpet and sat cross-legged like an obedient child. "I think you're right. Even though I can't get a divorce for now, I will still show that bastard that I can also be happy even if he doesn't love me," she decided while nodding her head firmly.

There was determination in those blue eyes for a moment, and Tammy almost nodded her head in response to that statement. However, before she had time to move her head, the expression on the older woman's face suddenly changed again, and the woman even rushed to hug her legs. Of course, that surprised her.

"He doesn't love me, Tam! He doesn't love me even though I love him very much! He chooses a man over me! That man is just muscle and doesn't have a soft body at all, but Noah chose to love him!"

Jessica let out a series of complaints at the end, and this time, Tammy used her hands to massage her aching temples. Usually, she woke up in a calm morning, then she drank a cup of coffee to start the day. Usually, everything was calm, but today the apartment felt like it had been hit by a storm. Everything was upside down, and it made her dizzy.

"Get off me and get ready to go to work today, Jess!" Tammy no longer tried to be polite to the older woman. "You lost your husband yesterday even though not physically, and I wonder if you want to lose your job too. If you really want to lose your job, then you can continue whining in my apartment today instead of going to work. There's an important meeting at the company today, and if you miss it, you'll definitely lose your job."

Finally, Jessica let go of Tammy's legs, and her blue eyes widened again in surprise. "I don't want to lose my job!" She answered firmly.

Of course, Tammy could have guessed the answer because she knew how much Jessica loved her job, and that was why she nodded in satisfaction after hearing the decision.

"But I still need your help, Tam," the blonde woman spoke again, and when she saw her assistant furrow her brows at her, she continued, "Please let me stay at your place for a few days before I find a place to stay temporarily. "

Tammy looked confused, but then she asked, "You're not going home to be with your husband?"

"No," the blonde woman shook her head without hesitation. "I'll still go back to his place every once in a while in case there's a check-up from our parents, but I won't stay there every day. I want to minimize the time when I have to meet him. I'll go see him just for the sake of our parents."

Tammy listened carefully to her friend's decision, but it seemed like she suddenly felt curious about something before deciding to ask, "If you don't want to live at his place anymore, what if your husband brings his boyfriend to live with him? What if your husband and his boyfriend make love in the bed where you usually make love with your husband?"
