Lightning opened the door to the most beautiful face he could have dreamed of seeing. Though she was sad. But "Wow... You?.. Cut your hair?" he asked and pointed out. Sally nodded answering "Yea um.. Jesse thought it might.. Make me feel a little better." Lightning smiled "Well you look great. Looks good." he complimented as Sally walked inside. Immediately Ece yelled "Mommy!" and ran to her mother. Smiling and happy to see her mom. Sally hugged her little girl and honestly it just melted Lightning's heart. He should have been with Sally from the start and never looked at another woman. And now he risked his kids never knowing a life with both parents under one roof.
"Hope your hungry." Lightning exclaimed. Sally hummed "Hmm.. I could eat." "Daddy make can cakes!" Ece shouted. Lightning snickered happily. Ece was adorbale. Can cakes were pan cakes. "Breakfast for dinner?" Sally asked with a slight giggle. Lightning shrugged admitting "I couldn't say no to that face." he pointed to Ece. Sally sighed. Ece had Lightning wrapped around her little finger and it was sweet. "It sounds great Light." she complimented. Lightning smiled. Maybe one day he'd hear that name meant to make fun of him again. "Why don't you go play while I help Daddy in the kitchen?" Sally suggested to her daughter. Lightning became suspicious hearing that. Sally wasn't gonna help in the kitchen. This usually indicated she wanted to ' talk '. Which made him nervous.
So as the former couple walked into the kitchen, Lightning quickly asked "So what is it you wanna talk about?" Sally raised a brow. "What do you mean? You invited me." she reminded. Lightning nodded, "Yeah... I did, but you told Ece you were gonna help me in the kitchen. Isn't that code for some kind of talk?" he asked. Sally smiled. It was a little funny that Lightning assumed that. "Not unless we need to?" Sally replied. Lightning sighed. Oh there were PLENTY of things they could have needed to talk about.
"Uhh... No.. Not really I guess.." Lightning answered softly. Lightning then began to get everything out and began cooking. Sally grabbed the mixture and began to stir it up. Lightning stared at her. Not only did she look beautiful, but it was so great seeing her here. In his home as if it were normal. "Why don't you go relax. I can make dinner by myself." Lightning exclaimed. Sally set the batter down replying "This is your house. What would I do?" Lightning snickered a bit. "Well, there's tv, the kids playing, though that's not exactly relaxing. I don't even think you've seen the shower in my bathroom. Its got that kind of removable shower head you like." he winked. Sally blushed and stared snapping "What!? I don't know what you mean." Lightning chuckled lightly. "Oh yeah, okay, sure." he laughed. Sally didn't say anything for a moment.
Lightning even wondered if his joke was too far or not. So he cleared his throat before asking "So uh.. You... Chester?.." He wasn't making any sense. Sally stared a moment. "You two um.. I mean you must of.. Had.." "We had a thing and it ended. Okay." Sally explained. She was short and sharp. So Lightning nodded. Dropping it. "Thanks again.. I mean for inviting me over. I'm glad I got out the house.. I guess I have been.. A little upset lately." Lightning nodded and listened to Sally's venting. "Just... I lost my job because I acted like a child! And I am so sorry about the car again.. I can't believe I did that.." "I destroyed your porsche years ago. You should have done a lot more than that little scratch. I deserved it really." he replied. Sally watched Lightning cook for a few minutes before sighing "This is nice though. Kids playing in the next room.. Watching you cook and handle everything. And no fighting." "Yep.. Not yet anyway." Lightning joked. Probably not the best joke really.
"Sorry about Chester.." Lightning muttered. Sally nodded. Staring and watching Lightning. Just staring. Not gazing. There wasn't this feeling of love. Just.. being there was enough. Although he did have a nice ass. "So you still have the cone right?" Lightning asked. Sally snapped out of her stare. "What? yes. Yeah I still have the motel." "Good. You'll be able to keep yourself busy." Lightning replied. Sally nodded. Biting her lips. Oh how she could use some of his roughness right now. Not love, no tenderness, no cuddling afterwards. Just straight up sex. She swallowed hard. Maybe even a little nervously. "You okay?" Lightning asked. Sally blushed answering "Ofcourse. Stop asking me that." She scolded. Lightning stared a moment but not wanting to piss her off of hurt her in anyway he did as she told him. "Sorry.." He muttered. Sally didn't reply though. just stood there. Staring and watching.
"I'm thinking about getting a cat." Sally suddenly exclaimed. Lightning raised a brow. "You? A cat?" he asked in disbelief. Sally nodded explaining "For Ece. And the boys. Think they might enjoy a little pet like a kitten or something. Cats are easy to maintain." Lightning nodded slowly just agreeing but truly he had no clue, and as far as he knew, neither did Sally. "Honestly, I think you could get the boys a rock and they'd be just as entertained." Lightning joked. Sally didn't seem to find it as funny though. "I think I'm gonna go... Watch the kids play actually.." She mumbled and left the room. Lightning sighed. He enjoyed her company. He hated seeing her so sad and depressed. He figured she'd be okay but seeing her was making him wonder if he was wrong...
After dinner, the family all sat down and watched one of the kids movies together. Nearing the end, Ece and Landon passed out asleep on the couch. One parent on each side. Colton was drifing to sleep, sitting in the very middle of his sibblings. Lightning sighed but a good sigh. He had Ece leaning on him asleep. He glanced over at Sally who had Landon sleeping over her lap. Lightning gently picked Ece up. "Colton, come on.. I'll tuck you and your sister in." Colton was so tired that he didn't even fight his father. The toddler was ready for bed. "I'll come back for Landon." Lightning softly whispered. Sally nodded and gently brushed her baby boys hair.
It did feel good getting to come over and spend time with the ones she loved. Even Lightning. Part of her had hoped Lightning was Chester. She felt so stupid for even thinking he could have been. Like Lightning could make her feel that way again after everything they put each other through. Lightning came back down and carefully took Landon from Sally's arms. Sally almost didn't want him to take the younster to bed. She could have cuddled her son all night long. Especially sense she was hurting. Nothing could heal her broken heart more than the love and hug of her children.
Lightning made his way back down and sat next to Sally. "Hope you enjoyed getting to spend some time here." He said. Sally put on a smile and nodded. She really did though. "Sal.. I'm.. Sorry you"-He was stopped when she suddenly kissed him. And it wasn't just a kiss. This wasn't the love of his life kissing him and wanting him or needing him. This kiss felt as if a strangers lips! Lightning gently pushed Sally away, "Woah uh.. Did I?.. Was I giving you some kind of mixed signal or something?" he asked. Sally shook her head and tried explaining "No.. I.. Just.." she turned red. Oh fuck she was embarrassed now. Lightning was clueless to the fact she had been preying on him most of the night.
Lightning and Sally stared at each other seriously confused. Sally swallowed or choked rather trying to explain herself "I.. This is what you like right?" Lightning's brows lowered. Excuse me? "Women just.. Coming onto you right?" she added. Lightning wasn't sure what to think yet. Sally sighed continuing "You are always saying you want me.. I'm here! you invited me here to fuck I would think." Actually she didn't think that at all. She was just trying to push his buttons and get him to fuck her.
Lightning was a little disgusted. "So why don't we stop this game and you and I get right to it." She exclaimed. Lightning's expression was some of a glare mixed with "What the fuck?" He snapped. "You come here expecting me to fuck you? Seriously?" he asked. Sally shrugged "Kind of what you do Light." Wtf. "Um no. It's not. I don't want to just?.. Fuck you." He snarled. Sally rolled her eyes. He needed a push apparently. So she stood up. "Well I came here expecting sex. I need it. Either you're gonna give it to me, or I'm gonna take it." She began undressing right there, right in front of him. Lightning stared. Staring at her skin as it all become visible. "Sally stop." he ordered. Sally didn't listen and became completely in nude standing in front of him.
"Remember when we began fucking around. No strings attached?" she asked. Lightning tried not to look at her body and keep his eyes on hers. "Yeah." he answered. "But.. We"-"We what?" she interrupted. Lightning sighed. She came here. Knowing what she wanted. Lightning knew she was just hurting. Because of Chester. Because of him. He frowned. He would take her but not like this. "Sally I can't.. You"-"You don't have a choice. Stand up." Lightning sighed and looked away. If he kept staring he'd want her. Sally bent over him and grabbed his jaw. Forcing their eyes to lock. While holding his jaw in one hand and staring into his soul, her other hand began to rub from his knee and up his thigh into his inner, between his legs and up the zipper to the belt of his jeans.
Lightning tightly grabbed her wrist. Stopping her teasing little rub. "Stop." he ordered. Sally pulled her wrist away, her hand released his jaw. She wrapped her arms around his shoulder, behind his neck. And spreading her legs sat on top his lap. Lightning adjusted himself a bit. Sally wasn't the sexually strong one. Not usually. Lightning made sure to look away. Pretend to ignore her efforts. But his body wasn't ignoring hers. Sally swirved her hips. Rubbing her area over his bulging jeans. "Stop." he ordered. She smiled. A fake smile. Rubbing her hands over his shirt down to his belt. Suddenly,
Lightning grabbed her up, stood up, and tossed her onto the couch shouting "Stop it! I'm not doin this!" Sally stared up into his eyes. His cold and dark blue eyes. It was so quiet. Lightning noticed though, she wasn't just hurt and embarrassed. She was ashamed. Felt so unwanted. He could fuck her. But it would be pitty sex. Funny how he wanted her for so long but.. Not like this. "I do want you." He said seeing her frown. "I want you so badly Sally..." "Than take me! Please! Prove you want me!" she snapped! Lightning sighed. Trying to figure out what to do. Take her.. Oh how he wanted her. But the sex wouldn't be as good as it could be. "I'm sorry.. But I want you. When I say that, I don't mean I want your body.. I do want your body but.. I mean I want to marry you. I wanna be with you every night, every day Sal.." Sally shook her head. She was hurt.
"Fine." She replied sharply. "I don't want you that way though. I just want you to show me a good time. I want to feel wanted! You wanna help me? Make me feel good... Fuck me." she snapped as she stood up. Standing there face to face. "Fuck me Lightning." She snapped and shoved his chest. Lightning didn't reply or react much to her light shove. "Do it! Fuck me!" she snapped and shoved his chest again. Still Lightning remained still and silent. Ignoring her really. Sally shook her head, one last time she snapped at him "Come on! Fuck me Lightning!" and hit his chest! She reared to hit him again but Lightning grabbed her wrist and pulled her close against his body. She began crying. So he just held her tightly. Letting her cry for a moment. It wasn't like hard core crying. Just more of whimpering.
She took a few breaths, calming down herself. Lightning let her calm. Ease down. Suddenly! Lightning grabbed her beautifully soft white platinum hair and jerked her head back to force her to look at him.. Sally stared at his face. He didn't seem like the one she loved. And for the first time that was okay. She didn't want his love. Lightning's nose touched hers and his lips was so close! Her breath was heavy.
"Please..." Sally whimpered. Her eyes with tears. And part of Lightning wanted to. He wanted to punish her but.. He just couldn't. And his own eyes teared up as he let go of her hair and turned away. "Please go.. Before I do something stupid.." He begged softly. Sally frowned. "You?.. Don't want me either?.." Either... Ugh.. Lightning frowned. He was trying to figure out how to even answer that! "Look at me. Look at me Lightning!" She yelled. Lightning hesitated.. But he turned around and stared at her. They both stared at each other. She looked pissed as hell. Hurt beyond a broken heart..
She took a deep breath before continuing "I need you to tell me you don't want me. Tell me how I'm not good enough!" Lightning sighed. He broke her again. Without meaning to. "Sally..." He began. "I want you very much." "That's not what I told you to say!? Tell me you don't want me!" she yelled. Lightning looked down and thought a moment. He did want her just.. Not like this. "Sal"-"Say it! Aren't I making this easy enough for you!?" she interrupted. Lightning looked up at her. He realized partially what she was holding onto. "Sal.. Come on... This is ridiculous.." "You mean I'm ridiculous. Right?.. Isn't that what you mean?.." She was gonna start crying again. Lightning really saw how depressed and hurt she was. Chester was the final straw. He thought he was but in fact he wasn't. Chester ruined her. Just added to her pain. Chester was a horrible person. Lightning reached for her but she shot away with "No! Don't touch me!" sharp!
Lightning stepped back and stared at the ground. He couldn't fix this. Maybe Chester could.. Maybe. "I'm sorry... I'm sorry I can't give you what you want anymore.. Maybe... Maybe"-"Maybe we are just done. If it weren't for our kids?.. I'd never speak to you again." Sally snapped quietly. That hurt. It hurt painfully. Lightning nodded though. Sally grabbed her clothes and got dressed right there. "Sa"-"Dont! Just don't! I don't know why I even tried.. You didn't want me back then and you don't want me now." She snarled and headed to the door. Lightning didn't want her to leave like this and quickly followed after her. "Sally wait!" he called but she opened the door. Lightning grabbed her arm and stopped her. The two of them stood there and stared at each other. "Sally please..." He begged. "What!?.. What do you want?.." She asked. Lightning sighed. How was he gonna fix this?
"Sally, what I want is for you to be happy." He answered. Sally stared at him. Hurt, embarrassed, ashamed. "Well... Little late for that.. Please tell me if you hear from Chester though.. Please.." And that was it. She pulled away and began walking to her car. Lightning watched her open the door and just knew she'd open up to Chester. "Wait.." He called. Sally paused and stared as she stood mid way entering the vehicle. "What if... What if I sent you Chester's contact information.. I mean you... Obviously.. Liked him.. And.. He liked you." Sally couldn't believe what she was hearing. She shut the door to the car and walked back over to Lightning. "You'd do that?.. For me?" she asked. Lightning hesitated some but nodded slowly. "Yea.. If that's what you want.." he shrugged. Sally nodded. "Please.." Lightning sighed and agreed. "I'll send it to your phone.. Um.. Night Sally." He replied. Sally nodded and watched Lightning shut the door on her softly before heading back to her car.
At the moment. The only way Chester could contact Sally was by email. So all Lightning had to do was create an email and send that to Sally. Simple.. Or to far.?.. He wasn't sure...
