I must warn you though, there is some strong language in this chapter. x3

She Could Be The One

"This morning... I found the woman I love, in the arms of another... they slept together."

The bartender put a hand on his shoulder. "That's gotta be tough, I'm sorry kid." He said. Steve took the small box out of his pocket and put it on the table. "I was gonna propose tonight..."

The bartender looked at him with pity. "I'm really sorry. You should talk to her."

"Oh, I will."

Steve left the bar at around eight at night. He drove even though he knew he wasn't supposed to since he was a little drunk. He went back to the apartment. He parked the car and got out.

Claire was inside watching tv and looking over some papers.

Steve went in and found her in the living room. Claire looked up and was surprised to see him there. "Steve! What are you doing here? I thought you weren't supposed to be back till next week." She smiled at him.

Unfortunately, he didn't return the smile.

Claire got up and hugged him. Steve didn't return the hug either.

"Steve, is something wrong? You don't seem to be too happy. And why are you back from your business trip so early?" She asked him.

He got aggrivated. "What? Didn't miss me? You wanted me to be away the whole week so you can keep screwin' him? Your unbelievable..." Claire didn't know what he was talking about. "Steve? What are you talking about?

Screw who? And yes, of course I missed you. What made you think I didn't?" She asked him.

"You fucking whore! Don't lie to me!" He yelled and clenched his fists.

Claire backed away. Tears started to form in her eyes. "Steve... your scaring me..." Steve saw that she was about to cry and he cooled down a bit. "I'm sorry... I guess I had one too many."

"What's going on Steve? What's wrong with you? Please, tell me."

Steve took out the wedding ring box from his pocket and tossed it to her. "I wanted to surprise you... That's why I came home early... And for what? To find that you and Leon slept together..."

That surprised her. "What! What are you talking about? I didn't sleep with Leon. Whatever gave you that idea?" Steve sat down. "I saw you two, on the couch... naked. You two slept together... don't deny it Claire... just don't." He said that last part quitely.

She didn't know what to say. She had no idea of what he was talking about.

"I love you, and I want to be with you... but I think we both know who you really love..." Steve said. His voice cracked a little when he said it. "How could you say such a thing?"

"Because it's true! You may love me, I'm not saying you don't. But the one who truly has your heart isn't me. It's Leon. Even if you don't admit it, we both know it's the truth Claire. So no point in denying it now." He sighed. "Strangely, I think I always knew this. But now, it's all so very clear to me.

I'm sorry Claire, but I don't know if we can be together anymore..."

A tear ran down Claire's cheek. "Please don't say that..." He shook his head. Claire was about to go up to him to hug him but he stopped her. "Just... don't."

Claire got her jacket and car keys and ran out of the apartment.

She drove over to Leon's place. She knocked on his door. Leon opened up and saw Claire standing there crying. "Claire, what's wrong?"

She looked up at him with her red puffy eyes. "Can we talk?" Leon stepped aside so she could go in. Claire sat on his couch. Leon joined her. "What's wrong? I haven't seen you cry this much in years." He said.

"Leon... You promised to always be honest with me, right?" He nodded slowly not knowing where this was going. "Yeah."

"No matter what?" She asked. "No matter what." He repeated. She nodded. "I need you to be honest with me right now." She said. He nodded. "Alright."

"Leon... Did we sleep together last night?"

He tensed up again when she asked him that. 'Shit... how does she know?' He didn't know what to say and stayed quiet for a few seconds. Claire didn't take the silence as a good thing. "Well?" She asked again.

Leon looked away. "Yes..."

Now Claire was the one that didn't know what to say. "W-what? What do you mean yes?"

He scratched his head and blushed. "I guess we had a bit too much to drink..." She stood up. "You remember everything?" He looked at her. "No I don't remember a thing. I don't remember how it happened. I don't remember the details. Hell, only reason I knew we slept together is because when I woke, we were both naked and you were in my arms!" Leon said trying to defend himself.

"But that's impossible! I woke up fully clothed!"

"Yeah, that's because I dressed you before I left. I couldn't face you, so I left."

"Steve saw us before you woke up..." She said to herself. Leon didn't hear her. "What was that?" She started crying again. "Steve saw us! He was the one that told me... He dumped me Leon."

Leon hugged her. "I thought he was gone for the week. I didn't want you to know because I didn't want things to be weird between us."

Claire pushed him away. "So what? You lied to me instead!"

He got mad. "Don't get mad at me! I wasn't the one who took out the vodka! You were the one that started drinking. But... I guess we didn't know what it would lead to. Claire, I'm sorry. Did you tell him it was an accident?"

She shook her head. "How could I? I didn't even know about it till now. It was all new to me. Leon, I don't know what to do..." He hugged her again. "Well, first, we need to get you home so all three of us can work this out, alright?" Claire nodded. "Alright.

Leon and Claire left and drove back to her place.

Claire opened the door. "Steve? I'm home. We need to talk." She went to the living room thinking he was there, he wasn't. She went upstairs, he wasn't there either.

'Where is he...?' She asked herself in her head. Then when she was in their room, she noticed his stuff was missing. Leon went in. "Uhh... is it just me, or does this place seem different to you?" He didn't get a response. All he saw was Claire walking around frantically opening and closing draws and closet doors.

"Claire, what are you doing? Looking for something?"

"His things are gone! His clothes, his... everything." She cried again. "He really is gone... It's really over."

Leon took a hold of Claire's hand. "Common, let's get out of here." She shook him off.

"I'm not going anywhere with you Leon..." He gave her a confused look. "What do you mean your not going anywhere with me? Claire..."

She folded her arms. "You lied to me about something huge... I need some time to think things over... alone."

Leon nodded and left.

Meanwhile...

Steve was back at the bar.

The bartender gave him a shot of whisky. "I take it didn't go well?" The bartender asked him. Steve shook his head. "I left her..."

"Can't forgive her?"

"I don't know. I guess, deep down, I always knew that they were... meant to be. Even if they don't know it yet." He said as he gulped down the shot.

The bartender turned to the person sitting next to Steve. "What's your story beautiful?"

She chuckled. "It's Ada."

Steve looked at her. "Ada... do I know you?" She shook her head. "Not really. I don't know you either." She said as she drank her martini. "So what brings you here?" The bartender asked her.

"Just... boyfriend related problems. I came here for some time to myself. To think a little, ya know."

"Hey Ada. I'm Steve." They shook hands. "Nice to meet you Steve." She said politely. They talked more and got to know eachother more as time passed by. It was around midnight now and they were still talking.

"So, I work in Umbrella-" He said until Ada interrupted him. "I-I'm sorry to interrupt you, but did you say you worked at Umbrella?" She asked him. Steve nodded. "Yeah, why?" He asked. "Well... Umm..." 'Think Ada, think.'

"Well I always wanted to know more about that place. Maybe even get a job there. Maybe you could tell me more about it, if you don't mind." She said.

He nodded. "Yeah, sure. I don't mind. I could even take you there and tell people your with me, and you could see the place yourself if you'd like." Ada smiled at him. "I'd love that." Steve also smiled.

"It's a date then."
