She came home around 3am, her night was spent looking like a ass trying to play pool. Never had she done so and it was apparent . Kimberly didn't drink but one alcoholic drink, having so much fun didn't lead to a night of drunk weeping like she thought . She was reminiscent on the thoughts of Billy showing her how to play pull, being behind her holding her arms in a motion of shooting. It sent shivers up her spine just thinking of him. She unlocked the door and her husband wasn't on the couch ..

" Dave..." said called, closing the door behind her. She went to their room and turned on the light and he wasn't there either. "Seriously? " she groaned leaning against the door frame. He fled.

She felt a bit of sorrow creep up on her. She secretly wanted him to be up still to show she had a good time without him. She buried her Face in her pillow staring to cry , nothing new.

7:00 alarm went off playing her radio station loud, some song came on that was rather depressing. " Great the radio is mocking me ." she said mumbled unplugging it completely and got up. She hated getting up and and being alone. She went to the shower an grabbed her tooth brush before hand. Kimberly had always brushed her teeth in shower until she moved in Dave. He found it rather disgusting and insisted she'd stop. Well too bad He's not here this morning she thought. She noticed how strongly she smelt of cigarettes and thought of Billy. He had smoked the whole night, cigars and cigarettes ..wasn't her taste but she enjoyed his company very much.

Flashback

" If your ever in this part of town again, you should come by." Billy said to her leaning in her car. " Basically your asking, 'if I ever want to see you again, you'll be here." she cracked a grin at him. He didn't say anything. He just blew smoke out his mouth an opened the car door for her. " bye" she said as he just nodded to her for a 'bye'

end flash back

She got out of the shower and dried off, she was undressed now looking for her uniform to wear. Green shirt brown pants Working at her local book store wasn't too bad at all, all the books and ice coffee at employee discount prices.

She heard the locks unclick on the door..footsteps threw the house an then he loud yawn and Her bedroom door opened and in came Dave.

Her not parted in his usual style more messy, and he just looked tired out.

His smell on him was intoxicating,, was it roses, jasmine?!" You smell like a bath and bodyworks where we're you?." she asked concerned She then started to piece it together . Her face turned light red.

" Now honey, don't freak out its not like last time!" he stated." Fuck you! You went back to her didn't you!?" " Your ex wife or was is it someone new?" she yelled not caring how early it was and if she woke up the dead" You were gone all night who's to say you didn't do something too out of anger?" he snapped.

" Dave, you simple minded bastard! I went out a played pool had one drink and oh yeah didn't fuck anyone!" she yelled getting dressed.

She put her hair in low pony tail and had no time to put on makeup trying to get out the house as fast as she could. He grabbed her arm as she tried to walked off.

" I'm so sorry baby, I thought you didn't love me anymore after last night" he pled. Lies lies lies.

She was tried of his mind games an cheating and hardly being there. She shook lose of his arm and stormed out with her keys.

Dave stood in the bedroom looking stupid in shock, it appeared she was finally fed up.

He got his briefcase together to go to work,Criminal justice.

Kimberly sat her in car 30 minutes early for work. She thought back on the day he first cheated, the first day he got caught. December 24, christmas eve. She had gotten home early and saw a red Kia parked in her spot and saw Dave's eclipses also. She never forgot what she saw that day. Her boyfriend and his ex wife on the counter, him all over her and Pam his ex screaming his name. It took months for him to even be able to touch her again. She was so stupid for staying! But she thought she was in love and he was "sorry".

She had worked her shift an was extremely tired 'ugh' Billy kept coming up in her mind, she felt guilty for even thinking of him the way she was now,but at the same time she didn't , her relationship was going to hell. She drove home and saw 'dick heads' car actually park there still. She sighed in anger wishing he wasn't there. She came in an saw him dressed up . " What's all this you look like you came from a James bond convention " she mocked him pointing at his outfit. " okay i deserve that.. Baby, I want to take you for a night on the town." he said . " Aw, how sweet is it a 'late birthday dinner' or 'I'm sorry I fucked my ex wife dinner" she spat rolling her eyes. He was displeased with her tone.

" Damn it Kimberly! I didn't fuck her, I went over to her house but I didn't fuck her, I love you so much and I'm sorry I forgot your birthday babe..please just talk to me." he plead.

" I don't believe you ..not a word Dave, I just need time alone from you." she said grabbing a outfit real fast as she pushed pass him.

She got a skirt out and a crop top an heels.

He raises his eyebrow at what she was getting out the closet.

" You wouldn't happen to be Going out looking like a whore?" he asked. "Not with you Dave, not with you." she gave a fake smile to him , he grabbed her by the arm an pushed her on the floor. " I work my ass off for you, you think your job pays the bill? I pay for your lil outfits , make sure your taken care of ,so don't walk around here like you do shit bitch." he raised his hand at her like he was going to slap her. He stopped and saw the fear on her face. She got up and was breathing hard and got out of the house as fast as she could.

He had never raised his hand at her before, he was pretty sure he only stopped because he thought it would risk his job. She was done, she was not coming back to him.. She needed a drink after that. I guess she'd be seeing Billy Darley again..
