I opened my eyes to see a fully furnished apartment with beautiful wall designs and I saw the view, we were in the top apartment. I glanced at him and he nodded. "I didn't know it was fully furnished. Good for us I guess." He kissed my cheek and I laughed. I kicked off my shoes and felt how soft the carpet was. I walked to the bedroom and jumped on the California king size bed. Matt landed beside me and I rolled on my side, facing him. "Thank you." I whispered and he touched my cheek gently.

"Anything for you." He murmured and I sat up, he followed. "This is really ours?" he chuckled and nodded. "Of course. There is an extra bedroom; I figured you wouldn't want to sleep with me anymore, since we aren't together anymore." I sighed, but nodded. "So what do you want to do?" "I want a shower; I have been walking around town and want to relax. You?" I smiled at him and shrugged. "I don't know yet. I just wanna lay here." He stood up and walked to the bathroom door.

"You are welcome to join me of course." He joked and I threw a pillow at him. "I'll see you in a bit. Don't ruin the place." He joked and I threw another pillow, but he retreated into the bathroom. I sighed and closed my eyes, curling into the bed. I laid there for a while, and then smirked. I was bored and Matt needed to be pranked.

I snuck into the bathroom and listened for him to make sure he didn't know I was in there. He didn't seem to know so I snuck over to the toilet to see how hot he likes his water. I was just about to do it when he spoke, making me jump. "If you do it, I'll pull you in with me. That's your warning" I looked around and paused for a moment, then decided to find another way to prank him.

I was about to walk out, but my hand slipped and flushed the toilet. He growled and I went to run out, try to explain later, but his hand caught mine right as I was about to open the door and he pulled me into the shower with him. He shielded himself against the hot water with me; I was laughing and trying to get away from him when the water started to go back to normal.

"Let me go!" I giggled and he pulled me close to him. "So I see you decided to join me after all." He joked and I glared. "No, I was leaving and my hand slipped." "Excuses?" he laughed and I sighed and punched his wet chest. "Can I get out now? I mean I'm fully dressed." He looked me up and down. "Nah I like the whole soaking wet look, kinda like its raining inside." He smirked and I rolled my eyes. I tried to pull away again, but he pulled me back and kissed me gently.

I kissed back out of reaction and his hands moved from my shoulders to my hips and he squeezed them gently. I went to pull away, but he gripped me tighter, making the kiss better and deeper. I felt him harder against me and I smirked a bit into the kiss, I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him as close as we could get. I felt his hand start to move, releasing me.

I quickly pulled away, turning the hot water off and it got cold fast. I jumped out of the shower laughing as he stuck his head out. "Sorry, it seems like you need to cool off." I winked and he sighed and retreated back into the shower. I laughed and stripped down out of the wet clothes and tossed them to the side. His arms snaked around my waist and he pulled me to him, I felt he was wearing a towel now.

"Well it is hard to stay cooled off when you walk around like this and act like you do." He whispered in my ear and then bit it gently. He let me go as I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around me. Of course we have had sex; I mean we were together for like 8 years. We were set to be married, so it's nothing new to be this careless around each other.

We both walked out and I grabbed my bag and he grabbed his. He put on a pair of boxers and jeans, then a plain white tank top. I was now wearing a blue tank top with a button up blouse of the same shade of blue with some jeans. He walked over to me and unbuttoned my shirt, then looked at my shoulder. "It will always be there." he said and I nodded. "So why try to hide it like it's only temporary?" I shrugged and put my shirt back on.

"So want to do something?" he asked and I smiled. "I have to go check on the guys." His smile faded and he stepped away from me. "Of course, I'll cook dinner tonight, want do you want?" I kissed his cheek. "Whatever you want. I'll see you tonight." Then I hurried out of the apartment.

I sighed and put on some light makeup in the reflection of the elevator. I was about to put some lip gloss on but I stopped. I know how he must feel. He cares so much about me, wants me to be happy so bad that he is watching me go to another. I saw I had a tear in my eye and I shook my head and finished putting my lip gloss on and left the place.

I glanced at my cell phone to check the time and got a message. 'Meet at Docs ASAP Conner' I texted I was on my way and grabbed a taxi.

I got there and walked in to see Murphy sitting alone in a booth. I walked over looking around. "Where are the others?" he jumped and turned to face me. "I'm not sure, Conner told me come down and wait. Said he wanted to talk to me." I sat down on the other side and glared around. I pulled out my phone and sent Conner a text. 'If you aren't here in a few minutes I'm leaving and going to the police.' I smiled and put it up.

"So what's up?" I asked and he wouldn't look at me. "So you went back, disappeared, like us. Got engaged, ran away with him. Had a full life haven't you?" he said in an annoyed tone, propping his arm up and looking at the bar. "Eight years isn't a life." He glanced at me and then scoffed. "I'm sorry it wasn't a life. I'm sorry you had to leave that wonderful life of yours. You must have been so happy to stay there for eight fucking years with another man." I stood up and clinched my fists close to my sides.

"Well I'm sorry it took so long for me to notice that you're a total prick. Next time, Murphy, ask before you assume shit. I came back because…" I paused and pushed away tears in my eyes. "You know what; fuck you and your saints. Tell Conner he can toss that phone because I want nothing to do with you assholes! I shouldn't have to explain anything to you." I turned away with a flip of my still wet hair and walked to the door, then looked around.

"You don't even deserve to know why I came back." I whispered and shoved the door and stormed out. I got around the corner when my phone rang. It was a text from Conner. 'What the fuck happened? Why is Murphy all pissed off?' I smirked and shook my head. 'Fuck off Conner, that was stupid to get us alone like that. He is a prick and so are you.' I sent it and shoved my hands in my pockets.

"Marietta!" I glanced over and saw Romeo running toward me. "What spic?" I hissed when he got beside me. We fell in step with each other and he chuckled. "What's up? Conner told me to hurry over to the bar, but we found Murphy storming around like a little bitch." "Just leave me alone Damnit. Can't men get a message when women send them?" I sighed when he still didn't leave.

"I'm fine Romeo." "You need a drink, want to get one?" I looked at him; I was taller than him and smiled. "One drink, then I really want to be alone." He nodded, smiling and lead me to a place called The Silver Peso. "This is my uncle's bar and grill." He said and walked into the back room and came back with a older man with a wise smile on his face. "Hello Marietta." Romeo grabbed a bottle and took my arm. "Hello." I said and they lead me into the back room and sat me down.

"Are you hungry?" I shook my head. "You are very beautiful." Romeo started talking in Spanish, thinking I didn't understand, saying not to embarrass him in front of me and his uncle replied with how he got me to go out with him. I coughed and they looked at me. "I'm not with him. I'm friends with him. And don't worry about being embarrassed Romeo, it's fine." They looked at each other and his uncle left with a smile. "I think I need more than just one drink." Romeo said and I giggled.

Too many men for me to be around, I need a gal pal.
