Hard to love

Tessa was not sure on the move to California but she knew she had to try to move on with her life. She had a son to think about, he didn't have his daddy anymore but Tommy was going to be alright. He was a sweet boy and happy. Tommy probably wouldn't even know or remember his daddy, he was young enough she'd hoped to not know what he'd seen him do to her. Thinking back on what led Tessa to this point in time she started remembering: David was Tessa's college boyfriend and they'd been great together or so she'd thought. He was a star soccer player for their college team and he'd been recruited to the MLS to play professionally. Tessa was happy for him and what this could mean for them together. The first year was amazing, traveling for games and seeing different parts of the country but alas one time Tessa couldn't go with. David was out with his teammates and a group of young college girls were flirting and some things led to others and bunch of the guys posted videos and pictures online. David was kissing on a few of the ladies and he for the most part seemed to be enjoying himself, like he hadn't a care in the world. Tessa seen the pictures the following day and when David arrived home she wasn't there and had left him a note saying she'd be back after she'd cooled off from what she'd seen. He figured she'd come back that night but it was three days later when she finally showed up. David asked "So where the hell did you go and with whom?" "Not that it matters to you but I was with Anna, Cassie and Stacy at their apartment trying to make sense of what we all seen online of you. How could you cheat on me with some coeds." Tessa answered "It's not cheating on you if it's just a few kisses on the cheek, I didn't go to bed with them. Thou they kept asking me to go back to the hotel room with them." David said, "Besides it's not like we are engaged or anything." Tessa just blankly stared at him and than finally said, "Honestly I thought that was where we were headed till these pictures came out. How does the coach feel about this crap?" "What does it matter what the coach thinks of this?" David retorted "It matters because of the team having a reputation to think about and they don't want a playboy team captain." David looked at her and opened his mouth to say something than he closed it again before saying, "I'm not a playboy. I already told you I didn't go to bed with them even thou they tried like crazy and it was tempting but I never did." "Oh never mind you just don't get it." Tessa said and walked away. David followed her to the bedroom and said, "What do you mean by that?" Tessa was sitting on the bed with a piece of paper in her hands. "What's that?" Tessa just sat there on the edge of the bed a single tear rolling down her cheek.
