I appreciate the reviews left! You guys suggested things that I didn't even think about so there will be a few surprises in later chapters :)

Chapter 2 - Liar Liar

I couldn't believe what had just happened. I had had sex with one of his friends. I didn't know what to do. My marriage was on the rocks but I never wanted it to go this far and what was the excuse I was meant to give to my husband? My mind was travelling over the place and wondering the excuse I had to give him. "Well, aren't you going to go back to your matrimonial home?" Shadow mocked me, interrupting my thoughts.

"What happened last night?" I worriedly asked.

"What do you think?" He huffed.

"Did you rape me? Take advantage of me? I'd like to know so I can report you to the police." Shadow gave me a look and laughed wholeheartedly.

"Listen I wouldn't even waste my time touching a married woman, let alone you. We were drunk; you told me to come to you and things quickly escalated after. Unlike you, I actually have a good memory after I drink." He explained. I was still in so much shock. To be honest, I didn't really care that I had sex with Shadow. After all, he was incredibly handsome and sexy. The main issue was lying to my husband. He had been cheated on in the past and when we got engaged I assured him that I would never make the same mistakes that his exes made. Now, I was one of them.

"Why?"

"Why what?" He asked with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"Why did you kiss me?" I wondered. Shadow lifted up his eyebrow.

"Because I was drunk? I don't really know how else to elaborate on that. I just said to you I have no business in getting involved with married women. Now, run back home to your husband."

Shadow was acting strangely casual for engaging in an affair with me. The comment he kept making about not getting involved with a married woman was starting to irritate me. As if we're no longer sexy or something. I don't know why he was acting shady but I wasn't prepared to find out. I put on the clothes I wore last night and borrowed Rouge's brush to brush my hair. As I was leaving the room, I felt Shadow's eyes on me.

"Whatever you do, don't breathe a word about this to anyone. Including your husband."

I had a terrible hangover so before I went back home, I drove to the nearest store to buy two big bottles of water so I could down them in the car. In all honesty, I was scared to go back home. I was scared to face Sonic. Why Shadow warned me like that, I didn't understand. He was acting super suspicious but that wasn't my concern. After a half an hour drive and about twelve hours of ignoring Sonic's text messages and calls, I decided to go back home. Running away wasn't the answer but telling him the situation wasn't an option either.

As I entered the house, I saw my husband just standing in the doorway, looking at the ground so depressed like he hadn't got a wink of sleep last night. "Where were you?" He questioned with a whisper.

"I was at Rouge's house." I simply answered.

"What were you doing there?" He asked me, his eyes never leaving the ground.

"We had a few drinks, nothing special." I lied. I knew my conscience wasn't going to be at rest after this.

"Yeah I can tell because you reek of alcohol." He said to me with disappointment in his voice. There was an awkward silence for a couple of minutes with me also looking at the floor with him.

"I'm gonna get some rest I'm so t-"

"Why didn't you answer your calls?" He interrupted me.

"I was drunk, remember?" I reminded him. All of sudden, he looked at me with this detective look on his face. He came closer to me and started smelling me, as if it wasn't only my scent on me. Only, it wasn't only my scent on me I realised.

"Why do I smell men's cologne on you?"

My heart stopped. I forgot Sonic had a really good sense of smell. I started to sweat now, wanting to tell him the truth so badly but I remembered Shadow's words imprinted in my brain. Whatever you do, don't breathe a word about this to anyone. "Well?"

"You're asking too many questions. I just came back and I'm tired. Isn't that what you were saying to me yesterday? I don't have to give useless answers for useless questions," I replied, walking upstairs into our bedroom. I took off my shoes and slumped into the covers, going into a deep slumber.

Shadow's P.O.V.

That damn Amy. The nerve of her to ask me if I took advantage of her. Can you imagine the idiocy? She just shouldn't open that big mouth of hers otherwise there's gonna be trouble in paradise with her silly Prince Charming. Why do I even care if she does or not? It's not even going to affect me in any way. I just don't want to be the reason to destroy a marriage.

"You're still here? Where's Amy?" Rouge asked me, coming into the room.

"She went home." I simply said. "Where's your boyfriend?"

"He's still sleeping. That was some strong alcohol don't you think?" I nodded my head. Rouge took a quick scan of the room and noticed it was very messy; the duvet was on the floor and the pillows were all over the place. My clothes and shoes (apart from my boxers) were on the floor too. "Why's this room so messy? Did you do something with Amy?"

"What do you think?" I answered, sarcastically. She rolled her eyes.

"You know, you're actually better to talk to when you're intoxicated." She remarked, leaving the room.

I wasn't even trying to be unpleasant but my feelings were running all over the place. I hadn't seen Amy in a very long time and I still held some ill-feelings against her and her husband. They were my friends yet I was jealous of them. Not even just them, everyone really. Everyone was in a content relationship; Rouge and Knuckles were together for three years and Amy and Sonic were married for five years. I was ALWAYS the third wheel. Or the fifth wheel. I really didn't want to feel that way anymore but obviously I'm not going to tell anyone that.

Many years ago, Amy broke my heart. We were seeing each other back then and I was ready to make her mine. Until Sonic came out of the blue and asked her before I could. She, being the dumbass she is, accepted it. I can NEVER forgive her for that. I'll never understand why she wasted a whole year of my time just to be someone else's lover. I tried to fill up the void by dating other girls, being a playboy but it was so dumb at the time. If anything, it made me feel like total shit. To top it all up, I was the ring bearer of her wedding. Can you see the foolery? Being nice is way out of my character but that is just out of this world. A part of me still wants to make it work with her but there's no point. That ship has sailed.

I ate a few pancakes at Rouge's before driving to my house. Well, it's a mansion. How can I buy a mansion when I'm so alone? I expected myself to be married and with at least two baby me's by now. I'm 29 and I'm having a midlife crisis. I decided to sit on the sofa to watch some TV when my phone rang.

Hello? I answered.

Hey. I rolled my eyes at the sound of the voice.

Why are you calling me?

I'm sorry for what I said earlier. I didn't mean it.

It's fine Amy. What do you want?

I didn't say anything by the way.

To be honest, I couldn't care less if you did. It'll be your marriage you destroyed not mine. Is that why you're calling?

Listen, stop being patronising. We can't say anything about this. It'll ruin everything.

You shouldn't have drank in the first place, considering how trampy you get when you have a few drinks.

Oh you'll never change will you? By the way, did you use a condom last night?

Condom? I never use condoms. I don't why she's asking since Sonic told us too much information about her birth control.

Yes I did.

Good. Anyway I'll talk to you later. Bye.

I cut off the phone and took a short nap. For some reason, I couldn't get my mind off that condom question...

Amy's P.O.V.

It was around 6pm when I woke up again. I was so tired from last night's events (which was still a blur) and I was still feeling incredibly guilty for lying. Shadow wasn't making me feel any better either. I took a hot shower to feel nice and fresh, wore a vest top with shorts and went downstairs to eat the spaghetti and meatball stew from yesterday. Sonic was sitting quietly in the dining, looking as sad as ever. When he saw me, he gave me a worried smile. "Hey baby, I hope you're okay."

"Yes I'm fine I just needed some rest," I reassured him. As I was about to sit down, he held my hands and looked into my eyes.

"Listen baby I'm sorry about everything. I thought about what you said and you're right. We're married and we need to spend more time together. How about after dinner, we get a bit comfy?" He seductively said to me. Wow, was this a change? Wrong timing, especially as I cheated on him yesterday. When he saw that I didn't respond, he lifted up my face with his hands. "Please my love. Let me show you that I appreciate and cherish you."

He suddenly kissed me on the lips. As much as this was what I wanted for a long time, I couldn't help but feel guilt-ridden. When we were making love, I ended up crying. He thought it was because it had been a long time since we had and kissed my tears away. In reality, it was because my body was no longer his but someone else's. And every time I thought about it, the more I wanted him. Not my husband.

Here's chapter 2! I don't want too much drama too early but there'll be a big twist later on. I know I said that I'll be posting every week but it's good for me to do start earlier before I lose interest. Let me know what you think!
