Stephanie was sitting in a bar, since that night with Hunter they'd been avoiding each other, things where so complicated, not only that but Stephanie felt so guilty, how could she look at her husband again. Shawn had gone away, and she couldn't even control herself, she felt ashamed. Why didn't she stop it? Why did Hunter have to kiss her?. Stephanie motioned the bartender for another, maybe she could drink her guilt away, Stephanie had been drinking for a while, the alcohol was swimming through her veins, she didn't care about Shawn or Hunter, why should she?
"Hey there" Said the man
"What" Said Stephanie rudely she was too drunk to care
"I see you're all alone, how about I buy you a drink"
"Sure whatever" Mumbled Stephanie, she didn't care about this guy at all, he bought her drink and passed it to her.
"So how about we sit over there" Said the man, Stephanie got up her head was spinning, she was having trouble standing, and she managed to support herself without falling over. Stephanie followed the man to the table and sat down.
"So what's your name?"
"That's none of your fucking business" Said Stephanie
"Ok….well I'm Kyle"
"Are you an asshole like every other man?"
"No why?" Said Kyle
My Husband is an asshole, he won't even talk to me" Said Stephanie taking a long sip of her drink "He'd rather be in Chicago"
"I see"
"Why do you care anyway? Your just like every other man" Shouted Stephanie
"Well….I"
Stephanie got up from her chair, she needed to get out of this bar her vision was blurring. She didn't know where she was, she tried to support herself, however failed to, she landed on the floor with a thud. Kyle looked up, he wondered why he tried to pick this chick up, and he helped her up.
"Are you ok" Joked Kyle
"I'm fine just leave me alone" Mumbled Stephanie, she left the bar and started to walk home.
Hunter had his arm round Trish, he was smiling at her, he gently kissed her on the lips letting them linger. Hunter decided to forget about Steph, maybe that's why he called Trish, he needed to forget about there one night stand, which was all it was.
"So you forgive me for being an ass" Said Hunter
"Of course" Trish kissed him on the lips; they stopped when the door swung open Stephanie stumbled in, she was so drunk, she didn't say anything. Stephanie looked at Hunter, he sat up looking at her lost for words, he'd never seen her drunk before.
"What's the matter Hunter, never seen a woman drunk before" Laughed Steph
"What have you been drinking" Asked Hunter
"That's not of your business just fuck off" Shouted Stephanie
Hunter didn't know how horrible she felt, he didn't know she was drinking, hoping to erase there one night stand. Steph was hurting so much; Shawn would be coming home in just over a week. Stephanie had broken her vows, though Shawn wasn't giving her the attention, what she needed was love. Stephanie asked herself everyday why she had been so stupid, did she believe one night with Hunter would make things ok. He couldn't offer her love; all he could over her was sex. Stephanie reached her bedroom and lay down, tears began to fall she felt so alone, why did Shawn have to go away, why where things so complicated.
Stephanie woke up she was hung over, she wished she hadn't drunk so much, she carelessly fell out of bed and stood up, she held her head it was throbbing. Stephanie opened the door and noticed Trish looked rather suspicious, Stephanie remained out of view, as she watched Trish take money out of Hunter's wallet. Stephanie couldn't believe Trish was the one that was stealing; she knew the woman was a tramp but to do that. Stephanie didn't know why she cared about that, it was Hunter's problem not hers. Trish had just left, Stephanie looked inside, the bitch had taken everything, and Stephanie knew that because Hunter always had money in his wallet.
"What the hell are you doing?" Shouted Hunter
"What…nothing" Said Stephanie putting his wallet back on the counter, Hunter quickly grabbed it and looked inside.
"Alright give me my money"
"I don't have your money" Said Stephanie
"You just stole it from me I just saw you" Shouted Hunter
"No I didn't it wasn't me"
"Bullshit if it wasn't you then who the fuck was it"
"Hunter it was Trish" Shouted Stephanie
"I don't believe you"
"Well that's your problem, cause that Skank is trash" Hunter looked at her, Stephanie didn't care what he said, and she wondered why she bothered telling him, she should have known he would have thrown it back in her face.
"No you're just so damn jealous because I'm with Trish"
"Why the hell would I be jealous of her being with you" Shouted Steph
"Cause she's a better person that you, I mean she isn't so uptight and always feeling sorry for themselves"
"Jesus Hunter wake up and smell the coffee, Trish is bad for you she's trash, though I don't know why I should give a shit, the way you treat me" Said Stephanie
"All I know is that she wouldn't steal from me, only a bitch with a black heart would do that"
"Hunter you may think I'm a bitch, but I wouldn't steal your god damn money" Said Stephanie,
She went to the kitchen and took some aspirin; she wanted this argument to end, because she had a hangover, which was kind of his fault. If he'd kept his hands to himself, none of this would have happened; then again she should have been able to control herself. Maybe if Shawn had given her more attention, she wouldn't have enjoyed being with Hunter so much.
"I'm leaving" Said Hunter
"There you go again, when you don't like what I say you walk out, I think you're the one that needs to grow up"
"Bitch" Mumbled Hunter shutting the door behind him, he didn't want to deal with Steph right now, Hunter's cell phone began to ring, he looked at the caller ID it was Shawn. Hunter didn't know if he was ready to talk to him yet, god why was he so stupid, he had slept with his best friend's wife, how could he look at Shawn in the eye. For once Hunter felt guilty about something, he didn't know what to do, he thought not telling Shawn would make it ok, what was he thinking? There was no way this would stay secret. Hunter realised he hadn't moved, he switched his cell phone off. Hunter stood there, he was thinking about going back inside, though maybe she wanted to be alone, he always seemed to make things worse anyway.
Hunter thought about what Stephanie had said, would Trish really take his money? Hunter was confused, why would Stephanie tell him? She hated him right wouldn't she rather see him suffer. He decided to go and find Trish, maybe that would reassure him, Hunter knew what diner she worked at, he left the building and went to find Trish.
Hunter arrived and walked in, Trish was at the counter serving some customers.
"Trish"
"Hi Hunter what are you doing here" Asked Trish
"Can I have a word?"
"Sure just give me a sec ok" Said Trish, Hunter waited for a few minutes, she led him into the store room. Trish smirked at him and went to kiss him, Hunter moved away.
"What's the matter?" Said Trish
"You care about me right" Asked Hunter
"Of course I do" Trish went to kiss him again, however Hunter pulled away
"So I can trust you"
"Of course what's brought all this on, my baby all jealous" Joked Trish
"Damn it Trish I'm being serious" Shouted Hunter
"Jesus Hunter what the hell, can we not have fun anymore" Trish was starting to get sick of his temper; it didn't take much to make him tick.
"Well when someone took my money how else did you expect me to be?"
"Do you think I took it?" Asked Trish
"Well Steph….kind…of saw you"
"She's lying Hunter, that bitch hates me I would never steal from you"
"That's just what she said" Said Hunter calmer now
"I can't believe it, she's got you wrapped round her little finger, well Hunter I think you should leave, go back to the bitch" Said Trish Hunter, grabbed her and pulled her back.
"Get your damn hands off me or I'll scream"
Hunter let her go, he stood there in the store room all alone, he punched the thin wall in frustration; he didn't know what to believe anymore.
