FlashFic #1 Devil in Disguise
Holding raw steak to my eye was not what I envisioned for my Saturday evening. I had candles lit and a romantic dinner on the table. A little wine, and maybe some alone time. Ric it would seem had other plans. He had a horrible day at work. Jason had managed to slip through his fingers yet again. I could never actually tell my husband how happy it made me that Jason always seemed to get away. He was the one person in my life that would actually listen to my thoughts and my feelings without judging me. Somehow help me to see through the mess and know just what to do. I wish I could go to him now, but he would want to kill Ric for hitting me and right now I'm not sure I would want to stop him.
Walking into the kitchen I grabbed a bucket from under the sink and run the hot water. Pots and pans are strewn all over my nicely cleaned floor. Bending down to grab the cleaning solution, something inside of me just snapped. Reaching out I turned off the faucet and grabbed my keys from above the sink. I slipped the keys into my pocket hoping Ric was still upstairs and didn't notice me trying to sneak out of the house. I made it to the door but the wind caught it as I was trying to close it. SLAM shoot I ran to my car, knowing Ric would not be far behind. Half way to the car I heard Ric call from the door and begin to run after me. BEEP BEEP Unlocked, I grabbed the handle and climbed into the car. Wasting no time I started the car just as Ric reached me. He punded on the hood of the car.
"Elizabeth, get the Fk out of this car!"
I shifted the car into reverse and squealed the tires as I put the petal to the floor. Once I was on the road I knew I had to get away, it would not take him long to follow. That's when it finally hit me… I'm free. But where would I go? Jason's was too obvious, Ric would go there and I really did not want to witness another fight tonight.
The MetroCourt was too obvious, going to Grams was out of the question, Emily well that wasn't exactly safe either. I pulled into Jakes and parked behind the dumpster and the bushes so Ric could not easily spot my car. Laughing to myself as I left the car, and Ric said that Jason was good for nothing. If only he knew…
"Hey Coleman, can I get something hard?"
"Are you sure, I mean, would your husband like that?"
"I believe the lady asked for something hard," said the creeper guy behind me. The smell of alcohol coming off his breath was nauseating.
"Hey beautiful, looking to forget your troubles?"
"Ugh" pushing myself away from the counter, I decided to try my luck at pool. When creeper grabbed my arm, spun me around, and pulled me close to himself. The rancid smell burned my nose and I could feel myself gagging. "You're drink is here, m'lady"
Before I realized what was happening, Jason had the man on the ground with his arm bent painfully behind him. Practically growling in the man's ear, "If you ever go near her again…" I didn't catch the end of his words. I could only see his ripped arms under the T-shirt and the way his muscles flexed when he pushed the man back to the ground as he moved over toward me.
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at home with your husband." Jason glared at me his words obviously meant to sting. Then his face softened, he noticed my backeye. "Did that bstrd do this to you?" His eyes read murder.
"Can we go talk?" My voice sounded weak and shaky even to me.
"Where would you like to go?" The concern was noticeable in his voice and when he reached out for me to tuck my hair behind my ear, his fingers ever so gently touched my eye and yet I couldn't help but wince in pain.
"Do you still have your room upstairs?" He grabbed my hand and started to lead me upstairs. I have no idea what came over me… "Jason?"
"Yeah?"
"There's something I've been wanting to do since you saved me that first time in the bar…" I didn't wait for him to respond, I leaned into him and kissed him full on the lips. I opened my mouth and tried to deepen the kiss. He immediately allowed me access. I wrapped my arms around his neck and felt his hands grab my thighs and lift me so I could wrap my less around his midsection. This is who I want to be, not the perfect angel Ric expected, but a devil in disguise.
