Chapter 2

"NO," Theresa yells. "It's not your baby Noah and you know it. So, please stop lying."

"I won't stop Theresa. You know just as well as I do that, that's my baby," Noah says satisfied by the look on Ethan's face.

"I didn't have sex with you Noah," she says looking into his cold, hard eyes. She turns around and faces Ethan. She walks towards him. "Ethan, you have to believe me. I didn't sleep with him. I didn't."

"I know Theresa. I can see it in your eyes. I believe you."

Theresa jumps up in Ethan's arm wrapping her arms around his neck. "Oh, thank you Ethan! I love you so much."

"I love you too baby. With all of my heart I love you."

"Wait just a minute," Noah says walking up to both of them. "How can you love her when she just got done having sex with me?"

"But I didn't. Just shut up Noah. Okay? SHUT UP!!!" she says, with tears forming in her eyes.

"Look, back off Noah. If Theresa says that she didn't sleep with you then she didn't." Ethan says taking a step toward Noah.

Noah looks at Ethan. "Alright then. If she didn't sleep with me Ethan, then why is she naked and wrapped up in a sheet? Well Ethan. Answer that if you can. Ask her. Look her in her eyes when you ask her." Noah smiles smugly. "Gotcha!" he thinks to himself.

"Theresa, is this true?" he asks, hurt evident in his voice. "I mean, just because your naked doesn't mean that you two did anything together, right?"

Theresa doesn't say anything. She just stands there crying even harder. Ethan walks up to Theresa and grabs her hands in his.

"Theresa, please tell me. I deserve to know. I need to know. Tell me that Noah is lying. Tell me that he was trying to take advantage of you or something. Dammit Theresa!! SAY SOMETHING!!!"

"Ethan... I... I... I can explain," she says with her voice trembling. She had never seen Ethan angry like this before and it scared her.

"No. You don't need to explain Theresa. How could you do this to me? It's one thing to do it behind my back, but it's a whole other thing when you stand here and lie to me in my face. You know how much I hate lies Theresa. I thought you loved me."

"Ethan, I do love you. I'm sorry. Just please... listen to me." She walks towards him.

"No. I'm done listening to lies. I'm out of here."

Ethan turns around and walks out of the bedroom with Theresa right behind him.

"Ethan, please stop. Don't leave me. I love you."

Ethan continues walking. He opens the door and turns to Theresa. Giving her one last look he steps out the door and slams it behind him.

"NOOOO!!!"

Noah walks up behind Theresa and wraps his arms around her. Whispering in her ear he says, "Now what? You've lost him Theresa. He doesn't want to be with you anymore."

Theresa jumps away from him and starts yelling, "The only reason Ethan is angry with me is because you lied to him and told him that I had sex with you when you know very well that it was not like that."

"So I told a little lie. Big deal. At least now I can have you all to myself."

Noah walks up to Theresa grabbing her by her wrist. He drags her back to the bedroom with Theresa kicking and screaming the whole way. When they reach the bedroom Noah throws Theresa onto the bed and gets on top of her.

"Stop it Noah!!!"

Noah doesn't listen and begins to kiss Theresa's neck.

"Somebody help me!!!"

Noah gets up and slaps Theresa across her face. Then he throws her into the wall.

"Shut up bitch!!! Now you listen to me. You are going to be with me and that is final. You are going to be with me in every way that I want you to and that is final. Do you understand me?" Noah yells.

"No," Theresa cries.

"What did you say?" Noah kicks Theresa in her side making her fall to the ground in agony.

On the road

"I can't let my marriage fall apart because of this. Maybe Noah was just putting up a front because he wants to be with Theresa," Ethan thinks to himself.

"No, I know what happened. Why am I even wasting my time thinking about this?" he says out loud. "I'm going to call Chad. I can sure use a drink about right now."

Ethan reaches in his pocket for his cell phone, when he realizes it isn't there. "Dammit. I forgot my cell phone back at the house. I guess I'm going to have to go get it." Ethan says. Turning the car around, he heads back home.
