Chapter 5

This chapter has been written 4 times. Twice on paper and deleted, once in my head and again here – all in an effort to stay true to the original characters – whom I didn't create, don't own, will never own but truly enjoy.

The slamming bathroom door echoed in her head as she stared at herself in the mirror. 'Get it together Kate, you overreacted. He wouldn't hurt you – he might push you, but not intentionally hurt you. This wasn't even about pushing it was about teasing.' Her guilt had run over her mind and she had felt the need to push him away, to be honest with herself she had been looking for a way out all night. 'Liar, liar, pretty little liar' played on shuffle repeat in her mind. That damn lie was taunting her.

Kate took one more moment to steady herself, she was going to go out there apologize, enjoy the evening – make sure he enjoys the evening and come clean tomorrow. She wanted one night, just one night – before the truth comes out.

I know viciously short update. Working on the wrinkles in the rest of the chapter, but like the real owner of the characters…I like to tease.
