The Only One: Chapter 28
Faith had gone to bed by herself. She fixed her pillows, pulled down the blankets and hopped into bed. An hour later she was still tossing and turning. She felt absolutly awful about what she had said to Bosco. Her mother used to say 'never go to bed angry, Faith. If something happens the next day to that person you will feel guilty for the rest of your life'.
She could tell that she had hurt him deeply. He never said nasty things to her. The fat comment had hurt, but she knew where it had come from and the color of the throw pillows speech was just silly. Bosco had picked out the color yellow himself. It was his favorite. Not that he would tell anyone, but it was.
This was the first time they had ever been really nasty to each other. Mind you, they had a lot of pressure at the moment. Finding out that your fiancee's ex wanted you dead was very unnerving.
Christmas was only two weeks away. If the note that Alicia had dropped was true, she still had time to prepare herself. She wished that Bosco hadn't yelled out that their guns were locked away. It was true. Not that anyone had heard him, but she was feeling freaked out tonight. She didn't want to admit it, but she was scared to stay in the bedroom alone. She knew she had to apologize to Bos anyway.
She got out of bed and padded into the livingroom. Bosco was sitting on the couch watching tv. As soon as he saw her he looked down and started tapping his foot on the floor. He was still really angry and hurt. He wasn't going to give in easially. He wanted an apology.
" Bos"? she said softly.
He ignored her and started flipping through the channels.
" Bos. Please look at me". She pleaded. " I'm really sorry for what I said. You were making fun of me..and I lost it. Please babe, just come to bed".
He turned his head toward her, " Don't think I'm comin' to sleep in tha bed with ya just because your scared". he snarled.
He looked her in the eye and he knew that he was right. She was apologizing because she didn't want to sleep alone. He turned back to the tv.
She fell to her knees in front of him. Her face was a mixture of pain and fear. Not fear of sleeping alone. Fear of losing him. She took his hands and kissed them. She looked up at him and pleaded. " Bos, please listen to me. I'm so sorry for what I said. Please let me make it up to you". she started to cry.
He looked down at her, beginning to soften a little. He hated to see a woman cry. Especially Faith. He couldn't stay angry at her much longer. Besides, he couldn't sleep without her either and he had said some nasty things to her, too.
She took his hand and ran it across her cheek so he could feel her tears. Then she took his hand and put it against her breast, so he could feel her heart beating.
" My heart beats for you. My life is with you. Please forgive me, Bosco." she pleaded once again.
That did it. He cleared his throat. He was full of emotion. He had a sudden urge to cry and then hold her and make love to her. He needed her, no matter what she said or did to him. He was nothing without her.
He wiped a tear from his eye with the back of his free hand. " That really hurt, Faith. I jus' want you to know. I didn't ever mean for you to get hurt. If I could turn back the clock I would have never touched her. I was just so lonly when you went back to Fred. I just wanted somebody. It didn't matter who." he said, honestly.
He took her hands and pulled her up to sit on his lap. They hugged each other tight. This felt right for both of them in a way that they had never known with anyone else. He kissed her softly, gently, the way she loved it. He held his face inches from hers long enough to say he was sorry for saying she looked fat. He knew she wasn't. She was happy to accept and surrendered to his passion. He put he on the floor long enough for him to stand up. Then he picked her up, barely, and carried her to the bedroom.

Alicia awakened to the sound of Maurice and Faith making love. Loudly. She sat strait up in the closet, trying to hear better. It was driving her crazy to hear the man that she loved making love to a woman she hated.
It was too much for her. She made her way out of the closet. She was being as quiet as she could be. Not that it mattered. A bomb could go off and they wouldn't hear for all the noise they were making. Disgusting!
Alicia tiptoed down the hall in the darkness and peered into the room. Maurice was on top of Faith and she was moaning really loud. Alicia remembered her time with Maurice. She had moaned just as loud. The man was a genious in the bedroom. It was exciting and yet it sickened her. By now the two had changed positions and Faith was on top. Now it was his turn to make some noise. Alicia was startled at the passion he displayed for Faith. Telling her that he loved her. Telling her that she was beautiful..when she was a big fat pig! What threw her was the NOISE coming out of him. He was gonna blow a gasket! He had never moaned for her like that. He hadn't even really moaned at all. That was a slap in the face for her.
She turned around and went back to her closet. She couldn't bear to listen a minute longer. For the first time, she actually considered killing him as well.
It's true what they say: Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
