these damn hormones. You can talk to me whenever you need too. You are my family now, and I would never turn my back on you for what your wife says, and speaking of AJ, he is upstairs in bed. She dropped him off around eleven-ish and said she had things to do. I didn’t question, you know we love having him here. Now go shower, and get in bed with your son. I’ll bring you some of Liam’s clothes. Don’t get in bed with that baby smelling like them skanks!” I walk over and hug him, I’m very piss at him and Liam, and I will find out what in the hell went on. Ugh, the smell makes me want to throw-up. I hate the smell of skanks.
Going to a damn strip club … If it was a bar, that would be fine, but a fucking hooker joint. One of the damn tramps number fell out of one of their pockets, I flushed that shit down the toilet. I crawl in bed alone, for the first time in months. I lie there and as usual cry, wondering why I did what I did. And for the first time in years, I didn’t think about Evan.
I thought about Liam being in the Army, then in that hospital for so long, no one not knowing whom he was, or where he was from. He must have been scared when he awoke, knowing that his family was looking for him, and none of us were there. The thought of it makes me even sadder, I had never really thought about it. While I was living my life, having fun and sleeping with Evan, he was lying in a strange place, with no one he loved around him.
When we fo und him, I was the happiest I’d been since he left for the Army. I loved Evan, but Liam was all I thought about. Sure there were times when I was happy with Evan and didn’t think about Liam. But that wasn’t very often, I was completely honest with Evan about my feelings for Liam, and he knew that if ever given that second chance with a life with Liam, I would take it. And leave him, for Liam.
This is our second chance, and I fucked it up. I knew the night in New York that I slept with Evan would ruin everything. But at that moment I didn’t care, all I cared about was feeling Evan’s touch again. That night has changed everything and has turned my world upside down. Whatever Liam has done, I deserve. As I lie here thinking and crying about the wrong choices I’ve made, I know I did one thing right and that was coming back to Liam. If he fucked some skanky stripper, we will get past it, it’s going to hurt, but we will overcome this, just as we have all of the obstacles thrown our way. I can’t live without him, ever.
“Well good morning sleepy head , did you sleep well on the couch, smelling like that cheap ass perfume?” I ask my wonderful husband as he comes strolling in our room at seven in the morning. Thank God everyone else was still asleep. He just looks at me, with unshed tears in his glassy blue eyes.
“So Liam, what happened with you and the stripper last night? You sure did smell an awful lot like her. Before your drunk ass passed out, you were telling me quite an interesting story. Somewhere on the lines that she possibly touched and kissed you? Is that what you were going to say to me , Liam Anthony Ellis?”
He looks at me and sits down on the bed, run both hands through his hair. I walk over and kneel down in front of him, he looks at me and I can see the unshed tears in his eyes. If he fucking tells me he slept with some tramp, I may not be responsible for what these hormones make me do.
“Liam, if you went to a club , got drunk, and buried yourself in some tramp, I need to fucking know now!” I yell, and it wasn’t a whisper it was a yell that would startle anyone. I’m so mad, and the blood was boiling in my veins, like it has never boiled before.
“Li, goddamn it. No, I didn’t fuck anyone. I danced with her and she kissed me and grabbed my dick. Did it feel good? Yes it did, is that what you want to hear? I let some tramp touch me and shove her tongue down my throat. I have never wanted anyone other than you. No one has
