Love Together, Be With You Never

The sun warmed my face, and I opened my eyes with a splitting headache. Every fiber of me was screaming in agony. Soul and body. Nevertheless, the dream I had just had was fresh. In it, Marlon came, and I confessed my love to him. Surprisingly, he was not annoyed!

I chuckled reliving the mirth.

"I feel you had a good time with wine last night!" Out of the blue, an icy voice rang out.

I turned around in shock and saw Marlon lying beside me. I gaped at him. It wasn't a dream?

I couldn't utter a sound.

"You stink. Get yourself washed up now!" he ordered coldly.

Memories were running wild in my head. As I recalled how I had gotten wasted and come home last night, I had an overwhelming urge to kill myself. In retrospect, not only had I offended Kieran, but I had professed my love for Marlon like some rube.

For Marlon!

"Mr. Redford, it is a crime to break into people's houses!" I wished I could slap myself unconscious. My poker face was my best card for this scenario. I had humiliated myself last night, so I couldn't afford to let that happen again.

On top of everything else, Marlon and I were in a tricky place. With one bad move, I could lose the game.

"I said now, you smelly slut!" He pulled me off the bed and dragged me into the bathroom, splashing me with the shower.

The raging dragon of ice ran through me in a flash. Like a startled bunny, I wanted to flee. My rogue behavior last night must be taking its toll on the baby, and it might not survive in the unforgiving cold water.

But Marlon made sure I wasn't going anywhere with a rude pull. "Get back! Don't you know you smell like a piece of crap?"
