Martin smiled as Linda got drunker and drunker.
"Why did you tell Michael we were sleeping together.." Linda said angrily
"I didn't.." Martin said "I don't know where he got that idea from"
"Well he's kicked me out!" Linda said and began crying "Why is he being like this"
"Why don't you stay at mine tonight" Martin said
"No..no I'll find somewere" Linda said
"In this state? No it's fine I've got a spare room and then you can talk to Michael in the morning okay?" Martin said in a fake sounding nice voice
When Linda arrived at Martins she sat on the couch clutching her head
"Here...Sober up a bit" Martin said passing her a cup of tea
"No, lets have a proper drink!" Linda said getting up "You said you've got a wine cellar didn't you"
"Yes...A small one" Martin said
"Come on then...Show me the way" Linda said
When they were in the cellar and Linda was looking through wine Martin put his hand on her arm
"Leave it..." He said
"What?" Linda said
"Why don't we just skip the wine and go upstairs.." He said leaning in to kiss her
"What do you think your doing" Linda said stepping back and then she began walking back up the stairs "This was a bad idea...I need to go"
"Linda!" Martin shouted running after her "What are you doing"
"I'm going Martin I'll stay in a hotel or something.." Linda said
"Please don't go..." he said grabbing her arm "Just stay please Linda"
"Get off me!" She said as he held on to her arm tighter
"Please Linda, I love you..." He said
"Why would you think that I'd ever love you! Your sad and pathetic and you know what...I hate you, I only came here because I was drunk but you know what I think I'm sobering up!" Linda said angrily
The veins throbbed in Martins forehead, his body filled with anger and rage ready to burst out.
"You ungrateful *****!" He said grabbing her arm even tighter then pushing it away with such a force she tumbled rapidly down the stairs
She lay with blood trickling down her forehead. She didn't move, she just lay there on the cold damp cellar floor.
Martin slowly walked towards her checking she was still breathing as she had fell quite a distance and was now motionless.
She was still breathing, just.
He smiled and pushed her hair back "It's okay Linda, you're in safe hands" he kissed her head then walked back up the stairs and looked at her for a while
"You shouldn't have crossed me like that Linda" he said looking at her motionless body "You know I always win"
He then closed the cellar door and locked it, then went upstairs to bed like nothing had ever happened.
