Lightning stepped out after a good shower. He felt horrible thinking about Sally back home.. Back home with the baby. He grabbed his clothes from yesterday and dressed. Lightning smelled food? He followed the faint smell to the small dining table in the open kitchen. Cruz was wearing a white soft robe. She had gotten breakfast. Lightning sighed and spoke up "Why are you doing this?.." He asked. Cruz sat down after setting down two mugs of coffee answering "Because i want to make you feel good about this?.. Come on. I made coffee?.. I know how much you enjoy it." She smiled. Lightning stared. This was wrong. Really wrong. And maybe that's what made this so fun?

Lightning sat down with Cruz at the table. It wasn't a huge breakfast. Some bacon and eggs and grits. Simple. Lightning needed the coffee. He craved for it right now. Cruz smiled. Sitting and having breakfast with the man she loved after hot morning sex. She was so fallen for him. Lightning set down the mug and spoke up "We got to get that phone." Cruz snickered explaining "Good luck?.. Jackson never leaves his phone. Not even for races. Carries it on him all the time." Lightning shook his head and explained "No. He has to set it down at some point?" Cruz shrugged as she ate answering "The only time I've ever seen him set it down was when...When he and i.. messed around." She blushed. Lightning thought about that for a moment. This affair must of been changing him!? Because he slightly thought of asking Cruz to seduce him to get that phone. Which was awful!

Lightning ate quietly and asked "What about at night? When he's sleeping?" Cruz answered "Keeps his phone on the pillow next to him when he sleeps." She chewed. Lightning needed that dam phone. He grabbed Cruz's hand and she froze staring. He leaned forward and softly said "I need that phone.. We can't let that video out Cruz..." Cruz stared. Her eyes wide. She nodded. The two continued breakfast. The race was tomorrow. "And we have to do it before we all split up and head home. We'll never get that video once he leaves." Lightning added. Cruz nodded and replied "I know I can get it.. Just don't like it." Lightning frowned and hesitated but snarled "No. You shouldn't have to get in his bed just for that phone." Cruz explained "I'm already losing tomorrow's race? Jackson will hold that video until he's done with me?.. Which will probably wind up in his bed anyway?.. Let me fix this? It was my fault he even got it.." She frowned. Lightning swallowed hard then stood up quick saying "I gotta change my clothes and head out. I have some things to do." He headed to the door.

Cruz quickly stood up and stopped him, pushing her back against the door and standing between it and Lightning. Lightning stared at her. Her and her brown eyes. Cruz grabbed his face and stood on her toes to kiss him passionately. Rolling their tongues together. It was an amazing goodbye. Cruz released him with a smack of her lips and softly said "I'll grab some things.. And I'll make it up to you tonight.." She smiled. Lightning didn't smile. Just stared. Then left..

Lightning first headed to his room and changed. This time as he looked at himself in the mirror changing he noticed. His eyes widened with fear "Oh fuck.. Fuck.." He flexed his arms to find nail scratches down them both. "Holy fuck.." He was gonna get caught. Sally would notice that. Lightning stood there for a moment. He was going to hell. He felt his heart beat hard inside. He really messed up now. So Lightning made sure to wear a jacket for the day. He was gonna have to hide those marks..

Next Lightning went to see him. Him. Jackson Storm. Oh how he hated that Jackson could control him with this video. Lightning found where Jackson was staying and knocked on the door. "Jackson.. Jackson its Lightning McQueen." The door opened. The kid smiled and asked "To what do I owe the pleasure? Need an autograph?" Lightning glared answering "I need that phone." Jackson crossed his arms and explained "Well.. I'm definitely not giving it up until after the race whatsoever. But.. I may hold onto it a bit longer anyway." He patted his phone in his pocket. Lightning sighed asking "You tell me what you want and it's yours. I just want that phone." Jackson thought about it and answered "See I don't know yet?.. I never imagined I would be in the right place at the right time like that? So when I figure out what I want?.. I'll call." Jackson smiled and then shut the door in Lightning's face. Lightning sighed and frowned. He fucked up.

As he walked back down to his own room his own phone began to buzz. Sally. He sighed and stared. He could save himself the trouble and Cruz the embarrassment of seducing Jackson by just admitting everything.

Do it. Just tell her. If she loves you, she will stay with you. You stayed when she was gonna have someone else's baby?! Come on Lightning.. But..

That meant giving up Cruz for good. He frowned and ignored the call. Letting it go to voicemail. "I'm sorry.." He muttered aloud to himself, then headed to his room..

as the night came, Lightning did head over to Cruz's room. But he was to stressed,tired, and worried to actually do anything again right now anyway. Cruz gladly let him in. She had on some white loose tank top and tight jeans. Made her kinda look a little bigger but just the clothes. "I missed you." She immediately stated. Wrapping her arms around Lightning's neck she kissed him. Holding and pressing her lips to his. Lightning pushed away gently and exclaimed "Not tonight please.." Cruz knew he was hurting and nodded answering "Okay.. I made dinner?" She added. Lightning sighed and watched Cruz walk into the kitchen and grab out some casserole dish. He walked over and it did look good but he grabbed Cruz's hand and had to explain "Please listen to me?.. I'm married to Sally. This thing we had? It was just sex?.." Cruz frowned and shrugged replying "I know?.. But.. This time it's different... You showed me things no one else did and?.. Made me feel things no one else has?" God Lightning hated himself. No matter how he played this out in his head!?.. Someone was getting hurt!

"Come on. We should enjoy dinner and then a bath maybe?.." Lightning sighed as Cruz pulled him to the table. She had him. She really thought she did. Lightning and Cruz quietly and a bit awkwardly ate the dinner together. Cruz even poured a little wine for them. Lightning was just overwhelmed with guilt. He should be at home. Helping his wife with the baby. Trying to get sleep while he could. Not having a nice dinner with wine with.. Her?... He stared at Cruz. Gazed at her and asked "What about Natalie?.." Cruz's eyes widened. "I thought she was your girlfriend?" He asked. Cruz sipped some wine answering "She was.. She is.. I just don't feel the same about her as I do for you?." Lightning scolded "That doesn't make this okay?!" Cruz frowned. She knew that. Cruz sipped more wine and decided to let Lightning know "Tomorrow night I'll be with Jackson.. So don't worry.. I'll get the phone." Lightning sighed and exclaimed "You shouldn't have to do that?" Cruz shrugged answering "Well.. I doubt you want to take this to the law sense?.. Your attorney would be involved?.." Lightning's eyes widened. No. definitely not! No!.. Cruz ate some and continued "Plus I'm just gonna roofie the guy and take the phone." Lightning stared, very surprised at Cruz and asked "Wait?.. You're gonna drug him?" Cruz nodded explaining "He hides a bunch of roofies in his pill bottles. Thought I'd just pretend and put on something sexy while I grab one?.. Make a toast or something and he drinks it. It's nothing that Jackson hasn't done to women?"

Lightning was disgusted by the man. Jackson was a horrible guy. But.. So was he.. Last time he had an excuse. Sally cheated. Sally made him cheat. kinda... This time?.. He began to regret what he had done even more. "I gotta go.." He stood up quick and began to leave but Cruz stopped him saying, "Let me help you relax!" She grabbed his shoulders and rubbed. Cruz had been trained to help the muscles relax and knew exactly how to help. Lightning froze and closed his eyes.. A small groan let Cruz know she was doing just fine. "See?.. Come on.. Sit down and I'll soothe you. No sex. Just me and you. I'll put on some tv and lite some scented candles. Let me help you Lightning.." Lightning let out a deep breath. "Oooohh Cruz..." He moaned in a low sexy way. Cruz smiled and kissed his cheek. Then guided him to the couch where she rubbed his neck and shoulders. "What's this?" She asked, pulling off the jacket and lifting his shirt sleeves. She laughed a bit asking "Oh my god are those from me!?" Lightninf glared and snarled "Yeah!? And I'm dead when Sally sees!?" Cruz rolled her eyed explaining "I can cover them for you later.. Just put some make up over it. For now.. Let me help you.." And she continued to relax him...

Lightning woke up with Cruz on top of his chest asleep. He sighed. He hated himself but.. Wow she smelled good?.. Like pears and? peaches maybe? That was a new smell?. Lightning brushed Cruz's hair out of her face gently and smiled. She was very sweet. She made him dinner, helped him relax was fun to fuck. Fuck.. He realized that he really liked this. Living two lives. One married to the wife.. The woman he had dated for over five years. The mother of his child. His safe and secure.. The other young. No strings attached.. Maybe. It started to feel like Cruz wanted a relationship. She began to cook for him. care for him. But Lightning didn't want that? And Cruz made him feel like a young man again. Sally couldn't do that anymore.. He hated that but it was true. With Sally he knew everything. With Cruz he was trying new things and Cruz was more flexible.. more willing.. More wanting.. It was stupid that he couldn't cut this off easily. Because in the end he would choose Sally...

Cruz woke up. Rubbing Lightning's chest. She smiled "Good morning.." Dam she had the sexiest morning voice. Almost sounded like her moans. Raspy and quiet. Lightning smiled a bit at her. Cruz sat up asking "Did I help you calm down okay?" Lightning nodded answering "Yeah. You're to good with your hands." He joked. They both kinda laughed. Cruz looked at the time. They had about an hour before they had to head out. "Are you coming to the race?" She asked. Lightning thought about it before answering "Well.. I was suppose to be headed home today?.. But?.. I gotta make sure to get rid of that video." Cruz nodded. Lightning sat up and had to explain, "Cruz... I came here to brake this off for good." Cruz frowned and stared at him as he continued, "You are great. I want you to know tat. It's just?.. I love Sally?.. She is my wife.. My? Other half. We may not always be on the same page but.. I would never leave her? And that's why this has got to stop!?.." Cruz sighed and replied "But?.. I love you?.. I mean?.. I would never let you do any of this to me if it wasn't for that? And no one made you sleep with me?.." She was getting upset. Lightning grabbed her shoulders and explained "Cruz listen to me?.. All this started because my wife cheated. She cheated and I wanted revenge. You were?.. Easy?.. I'm sorry.." Cruz's brows lowered as she snarled, "I wasn't easy!? I liked you!? I had a crush on you!? Yeah okay?.. The main reason we fucked around was because of her, but I didn't care? I had wanted you sense I met you?!" Lightning's eyes widened as the two of them stared at each other silently. Lightning nodded and realized saying, "I've made a huge mistake.." Cruz was upset and snarled, "OH please? You are just scared of getting caught and just can't admit you might actually be loving this more than Sally!?" Lightning became angry and defended "I'm not falling out of love with her? I would know if I was?!" "Really?! Because if you are so in love with her?.. Why are you here? Why did you come all the way out here? Why have you slept with me and had meals with me? Slept here literally in my bed!? Why are you sticking around?" Cruz asked, Lightning yelled back "I don't know?! What kind of question is that!? You want me to treat you like some call girl!? Fuck you and leave whenever I want? Throw a tip if it's extra good?" Cruz snarled back "Pretty much what you do now!" Lightning's eyes widened and he asked "Really?! That's what I do?" Cruz shook her head in such a snottie way muttering "Whatever.." , Lightning yelled "Fine!" He headed to the door. He was angry. Cruz yelled asking, "Where do you think you're going!?" Lightning stopped and answered loudly "Anywhere!? I fucked you and i'm leaving! You know?! Sense I already do that!?" Cruz was furious and yelled "Seriously!?" She didn't mean it. Lightning shook his head. Just mad and upset. He grabbed the door but stopped and turned around and grabbed out his wallet snarling "OH! And I almost forgot!?" He threw cash out to the floor and yelled "Here's your tip!" Then left out the door and slammed it!

He was so mad. Cruz was right about one thing. He was acting like this because he was scared of getting caught...

Lightning sat there on his bed. He was leaving to head home.He needed to anyway. He needed Sally. He tried to think of her sexually. Only to make himself stop thinking of Cruz. He bad to end this crap!? He closed his eyes and whispered "Sally.. you want Sally.. You need Sally.. You want her touch..." He frowned. Cruz was in his mind. He treated her badly. Lightning sighed with a frown. He knew he had to make this right.. But?.. He glanced at the clock. She was at the race..The race she supposedly would give to Jackson. Lightning shook his head. She was going to seduce Jackson just to get that phone. Well Lightning wasn't sure if she still would now?

He should just come clean. Tell Sally the truth. He practiced out loud "Sally.. No.. Sal.. I gotta tell you something.. Nope. Sally we need to talk.. I made a mistake.. well a few? No..no.. I messed up.. there was?.. Another... woman.." He sighed. Sally would leave him. Take everything he had and leave him. He would never see Colt easily again. Bbbzzzz bbbbzzzz, Lightning's phone. He glanced at it. Sally. He frowned and stared. But he yearned for her. For her voice. So he answered,

"Sally.."

Hey Stickers. You had me a bit worried? You always answer? Were you busy yesterday?

"I was dealing with Storm actually.."

Awe okay. Was he as charming as ever?

She joked.

Lightning chuckled a bit,

"Of coarse. Hey.. I really gotta tell you something before I back out.."

Okay?

"So..." He paused. Nervous and unsure.

His silence worried Sally,

Stickers.. You're kinda scaring me?.. You were acting funny and then Mater came and talked to me?..

"He did?.."

Yeah?.. You hurt his feelings? You know how sensitive he can be? What's going on?

Lightning rubbed his eyes answering

"It's.. It's really complicated.. Sally I.." He cloesrd his eyes and took a deep breath

Wait. As your attorney or as your wife? Because as your attorney, this needs to be in person and on record. Did someome do or say something?

Lightning frowned and really was going to admit this affair.. But his phone beeped and Cruz texted.

Cruz,

I'll still get you the phone.. Sorry about our fight.. Please don't leave without a goodbye?..

He sighed.

Stickers?.. Are you there?

"What? Yeah?.. I gotta go.. But we will talk when I get home."

Okay. You still coming home tonight?

"About that.. No.. I got to stay a little longer."

Alright... But don't leave me with something like that? We are definitely talking when you're home. Love you.

"Love you.. I really do."

Hmm. Call me tonight.

"Will do Sal."

They hung up. Lightning flopped down onto the bed. He loved Sally. He was gonna have to be honest and whatever she decided would just happen..
