Chapter 10
I woke up the next day facing the wall. I pulled the covers up closer to my chin when I realized that the bedding was being held down by someone's arm.
Where was I and who was next to me? I had woken up like this too many times in the past and I never want to go back to what I was. A whore.
I let out a low moan and rolled over to see who was next to me.
Raoul.
Oh dear god. How did this happen? I came in for a cup of coffee and this happens?
"Morning." He said.
I stayed quite. What in hells name was I meant to say to him? Wait, was he still married to Christine? Did they ever actually get a divorce?
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"Are you and Christine ever get a divorce?" I asked.
"Not yet. She doesn't even know I'm still here."
"Oh my god." I said rolling on to my back. "How could I have done this."
"Do what?" He asked propping himself up on his elbow.
"Sleep with my best friend's husband."
"I don't think she's you 'best friend' anymore Meg. Remember? You did try to kill her son. Besides, I thought you did this kind of thing all the time."
I turned my head to look at him. "That isn't the point." I said. "And not anymore. And not with married men!"
"Oh and they told you they were married before sleeping with you?"
I was silent for a minute. "No."
"Then why are you worrying so much. You asked what I could give you in return and this is it. Take it or leave it."
"But I don't want to help you hurt the kid! I have nothing against him."
"Yeah. That was obvious when you tried to kill him."
I death glared him. "That's not funny. I wasn't in the right frame of mind that night and you know it!"
"Do I care? I could go to the police if I wanted. Tell them what you did and how you tried to kill two people. You could be in jail for a while. Not see your mum for a while."
I felt tears well in my eyes. "Why are you doing this to me?" I asked.
"I need your help. And if you don't, your next stop will be a jail cell."
I rolled to face the wall as a tear fell down my check. "Okay. What do you want me to do?"
