There Were Places We Would Go At Midnight..., chapter 6
And just like that it was over, and he rolled off of her and lay next to her, facing the ceiling, silent except for the sound of their panting. Adie turned over to him and she was crying again. "I don't know why I thought that would make me feel better. Were a few minutes of ecstasy worth ruining my marriage over?" Tre raised an eyebrow. "Ecstasy huh?" Adrienne rolled her eyes. "Tre! Bigger issue here." Tre rolled toward her and propped his head up on his elbow. "You're right, there is... you're upset because I'm better than he is." Adie's mouth dropped open, and she didn't really know what to say, so she sort of laughed, and dropped her head. "Actually... maybe a little." Tre gasped. "Woah, I was kidding. Now THAT is the kind of thing I wouldn't mind the tabloids getting their hands on." He put her hair behind her ear. "Look, we don't have to tell him anything, ok? We did something really stupid and got caught up in the moment, and as long as it didn't mean anything there is no reason why Billie needs to know." Adie shook her head. "I don't know, Tre. I don't think I can lie to him." Tre sighed. "Yeah, but I bet you never thought you could cheat on him, either." Adie looked at him, not having thought of it this way, and plopped back down on her pillow. Boy was she fucked- in all aspects of the term.
Weeks went by and not a word was said about that night. Adie and Tre went on like they always had, neither feeling anything differently towards each other than they had the night Billie left. Though, Tre now had the advantage of being able to picture her naked whenever he wanted. Not that he used that advantage- well, not much. But Adie still felt a pang of guilt every time she kissed her husband, or watched him playing with the boys, or listened to him sing. Like she didn't deserve all of this anymore. Not after what she had done. And she couldn't, after all this time, figure out why she had done on it. Why, when her husband was the sexiest, kindest man she had ever known, and a wonderful father, would she cheat on him? How stupid was she? She had everything, and she had thrown it away for no reason. Well, not no reason. But not a good reason. Besides, this wasn't just some random guy that Billie could beat up later to feel better. This was Billie's best friend, and band mate- Oh, god his band mate. This may mean the end of the band. Oh, Jesus what had she done?
