AN: This is my first Once Upon A Time In Mexico fic...so be gentle lol anywho...lets get on with the fic...
Sarah placed her book down on the night table and switched off the light. She snuggled up under the covers, with a big sigh she fell asleep. The alarm clock went off indicating that she needed to get up. She pressed the off button and climbed out of bed.
After she took her shower she went to make coffee. Sarah looked out her kitchen window at the back yard. There was a jungle gym in the yard, it was there before she bought the house...before she and Sands bought the house.
Even though Sands didn't really live with her, he helped her get into it. Get settled down. Sarah placed the coffee mug down on the counter and went to the door to get the mail.
She opened the door and gasped. Sands stood there with luggage on the porch. He had a pair of sunglasses on his face and was wearing a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. Sarah rushed forward to him.
"Sands?" he heard her voice.
'Oh god what will she say when she knows I have no eyes?' he thought as he smiled.
"Yeah sugarbutt" he said hugging her back.
"You want to come in or something..." she asked. He picked up his suitcases.
"Yeah" he mumbled.
Sands took a seat on where he knew would be the couch. He heard her take a seat next to him, he didn't look at her. He couldn't look at her but in the same he didn't face her. Sarah scooted closer to him.
"You didn't write...call" she said.
He knew she was about to cry. "I'm sorry Sarah" he said trying to sound sincere.
Sands didn't know how to tell her that his fucking eyes are gone. How could he tell her a woman set him up and watched him fall. Isn't that what he was supposed to do to other people?
How could he tell her about Ajedrez? She would know instantly he fucked her and that he trusted her. Was he supposed to tell her that he also was going to run away with her too?
"Sarah" he turned his face to her. "I have something to tell you."
"What baby" she placed a hand on his face. "Take off your sunglasses."
"I will...I will."
Sarah sat indian style on the couch waiting for him to explain what he needed to tell her.
"Sarah...I really don't know the words to tell you this so I'll just go out and say it. I have no" he breathed in. "Eyes baby I have no fucking eyes."
She felt her stomach churn. 'No eyes? What does that mean?'
He slowly took off his sunglasses, he heard her gasp so he quickly slid them back on.
"I shouldn't have come here" he murmured.
"And why not Sheldon? I was your girlfriend..."
"Sarah you said was" Sands said.
"I kinda met someone while you were gone. I didn't plan it, you didn't write I thought you weren't going to come back!"
"I told you I was going to fucking come back...I thought we had something" Sands got up.
"Please don't go!" Sarah got up.
"What am I supposed to stay here in another mans girlfriends house?" Sands started to walk out but he stomped his foot on the edge of the couch.
"Fucker" he cursed. "Damn it mother fucking bitch!!!"
"Sands sit" Sarah ordered. "We have things to talk about."
He sat down, "What the fuck are we supposed to talk about. I got the gist of it, you found someone new to fuck since I wasn't home to satisfy your needs!"
"That's not fair" Sarah began to cry. "I loved you."
"Loved!"
"Damn it, its your own fault. You didn't even try to contact me!"
"Sarah what if someone was tapping my phone? They would get your phone number your address and come after you to get to me! What the hell did you want me to do!"
"I never thought of it like that" she looked down at the floor. "I'm sorry."
"Yeah me too" he sighed. "So what now, we stay acquaintances?"
"Your going to stay here with me" she said sitting next to him. "We'll figure this thing out. Get you some help."
"I don't need your sympathy."
"You would if I was your girlfriend so your going to get it now that I'm a friend."
A door opened and shut, Sarah looked up and saw her new boyfriend in the door way.
"Hello darling" Sands heard a male voice.
"Hello Matt" she said.
"Matt? Matt Conner?" Sands said outraged.
"Yeah" Sarah murmured.
"Your boss?" Sands brows drew together.
"Your Sheldon Sands right?" Matt said coming in front of Sands
"Yes, I'm the ex-boyfriend that didn't know my girlfriend broke up with me while I was away. Obviously she was fucking you while I was away eh?"
"Hey don't talk like that about Sarah. You can just leave" Matt said, mad that this man sat in Sarah's house insulting her.
"I can handle this Matt. Can you give me a second to talk to Sands."
Matt nodded and left the room. He waited for her in the hallway...listening in.
"Sands would you stay with me? We can take care of this. Just stay the night okay."
"Sarah..."Sands began.
"Sarah!" Matt called to her from the hallway. "Can you come here real quick please?"
"Be right back" she said getting up and going to Matt. "What?!?"
"He is not staying here!" he yelled loud enough for Sands to hear.
"Shut up! He is staying if I want him too. You have no authority here Matt."
"I am your boyfriend he isn't. You cant have another man in your house!" Matt said in a lower voice but not low enough for Sands not to hear.
"Matt maybe you should go."
"You dumping me! For that fucker in there! He cant love you like I can!"
"He already has!"
"Then why did you run to me?"
Sarah looked down at the floor. "Because I needed someone. And at the time it was you but I cant love you if I love Sands. Now just go."
"Fuck you Sarah. I aint fucking going. That fucker can come out here and fight me!"
"Please! Just go! I don't love you! Go!" Sarah pushed hard on his chest.
"Sarah?" Sands called from the end of the hall. "You okay?"
"She's fine you shit head. Why don't you just leave her alone. She was getting over you just fine." Matt stepped toward Sarah.
"How the fuck do you know how I was doing? You never asked you never talked about anything. I'm not getting into this with you! I want you to leave me alone!"
"The fuck I will..."
"Leave her the fuck alone Matt or I'll put a fucking bullet in your head!" Sands walked toward their voices.
He knew exactly were Matt was and were Sarah was.
"What gun you going to use cowboy. You don't have..." he stopped short when a gun was pointed to his chest.
"Get out now or I will be forced to pull the trigger" Sands cocked the gun.
"Fine I'll leave. I'll call you later babe" Matt said coming in to kiss Sarah.
"Go" she pushed him away. "Leave."
Matt glared back at Sands and left the house.
"Sarah?" Sands looked over to Sarah.
Sarah went over to him and put her arms around his neck hugging him tight.
"I missed you so much!"
"I missed you too, Ajedrez" Sands said.
"That's not my name" Sarah pulled away from Sands.
The truth had to come out sometime...why not now?
