Chris returned home after leaving the BSAA HQ. He had just kept his keys on the key holder when Laureen welcomed him with a kiss on the lips.

"Welcome back my love!" she said with a large smile hugging him

Chris looked at her studying her wearing a thin green cetin robe and makeup. It had already a few days since he returned from China with Piers.

"Are you going somewhere?" he asked

"We should…But…"

"We?"

"Yes, we! But since I know what you are going to say, I thought we could celebrate home."

"Celebrate what?"

"Our anniversary!" she replied with a large smile and kissed him again

Chris turned his face to avoid her kiss, "I'm sorry, but I'm tired." He said stepping away from her and headed to the stairs to go to the bathroom to take a shower.

(**)

After the shower, Chris was in his bedroom wearing just his boxers, lying on his back on the bed with his eyes closed and distant in his thoughts when Laureen entered without making noises and saw the room illuminated just by the table lamp on the nightstand.

She walked slowly until the bed and passed her hand gently on Chris' abdomen making him open his eyes, "You need to relax. Just close your eyes." She spoke with a seductive tone and gently with a hand, she covered his eyes while the other caressed his torso.

He could feel her nails tracing up and down on his skin, causing him shivers. He kept his eyes closed and held his breath when he felt her hand caressing his groin, massaging his balls and flaccid manhood through the fabric.

He thought of Evana and the so many moments like that they shared. She loved taking him by surprise, when she took the lead. He imagined it was his sweet Evana who was caressing his skin, planting kisses on his torso as she freed his shaft from the confinement and grabbed him in her warm hand.

Slowly the licks and the kisses traced down to his manhood and he could feel the soft, hot and wet tongue working on the head. He moaned.

"You know how to turn me on…" he spoke with a hoarse as he felt his member being engulfed by the woman's hot mouth. He enjoyed the treatment and felt the woman straddling on him while she kissed his neck.

He felt her wet mounds rubbing on his shaft's base while she nibbled his neck, "Oh Ev…" he opened his eyes at the moment and looked at Laureen with astonishment. That wasn't his blonde woman and fortunately he stopped before calling the brunette by the wrong name. She didn't seem to have noticed the name switch, "I'm sorry, I just can't! I'm really tired." he said moving her around to leave the bed

Laureen bit her lips sighing heavily calming herself down, "I'm really trying here… I really want us to work, but you are not making it easy!" she spoke in frustration

Chris kept his back to her

"I really want to prove you I have changed, but you have to allow yourself to see that. I know you think I am a bad person, that I don't love you for real and you haven't forgiven my mistakes… but I waited for you faithfully and still am handling you with all that humor and behavior you're having lately without going crazy with your rejection. If I didn't really love you, do you think I'd still be here like that claiming for your love and attention patiently?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't do this…"

"Why not?"

"You may not see that, but I've been trying too. I tried to have connection with you…" he turned to her

"How? You don't let me touch you! You don't even kiss me! How can you connect with me when all you do is to reject me?"

"Exactly! I can't do this without connection."

"Yes we can, but you have to try harder! Let me touch you like you did now."

"I don't believe we can work anymore…" he frowned

"Let me prove you I have changed!" she said going down to his knees

"Laureen, get up. No need to do that."

"You want me to humiliate myself to you? I do it, but please, give us a chance!" she said holding his leg looking up

"I'm sorry Laureen, but I can't. Please, get up." he said trying to step away from her, "I know we were about to divorce before my mission to Edonia and I haven't changed my mind about it."

The woman released his leg and started crying while sitting on the floor, "No Chris, please. Give me a chance."

"I can't Laureen, I don't love you anymore." He said putting on his clothes

Laureen cried harder after hearing that, "Chris, please… I really love you."

Chris didn't reply to her and took a suitcase to keep his uniform and some clothes.

"What are you doing?" she asked wiping her tears after standing up

"I'm leaving this house."

"No, you're not!" she shouted throwing the open suitcase on the ground spreading the belongings on the floor, "You're not going to leave me!"

"Yes I will!" Chris shouted in anger picking them up from the floor

"I will never give you the divorce!" she shouted starting to break some objects

"I don't need your approval for that!" he shouted back taking the suitcase and headed to the door

Laureen grabbed his arm, scratching it, "I won't let you go!"

He used his strength to release himself from her

"You are not leaving this house!" she shouted angrily

"Yes I am!" he shouted back hurrying to the stairs

The woman followed him, screaming and cursing him, but Chris was irreducible. He took his car keys, but she managed to take it from his hand.

"I will leave whether you like it or not!"

"Why? We already sleep in separate rooms!"

"If you really want to prove you have changed, stop doing this and leave me alone!" he yelled

"So don't leave the house!"

"Get out of my way, Laureen!" he said with a serious expression, "Give me the keys!"

The woman suddenly seemed to be taking her composure back, at least, as much as she could, "Okay, we will do this your way…" she spoke lowering her tone

"My way is me out of this house!"

Laureen passed her hands on her hair in restlessness, "Fine! You can go…" she replied scratching her head and delivered him the keys

Chris took a deep breath and without hesitation closed the door abruptly.

(**)

Laureen screamed and started breaking some objects as she cried angrily. She could not accept that and after some time she called her friend, "Sammy, I need your help."

"What happened?"

"He left the house."

"What? Why?"

"We fought. I couldn't hold myself this time."

"You have to!"

"Sammy, I don't know what to do. He knows everything."

"Of course he knows. He has people to tell him!"

"Yes, but he's changed. He never commented anything… I don't know what to do…"

"First, don't go frantic."

"How not? I just realized he has a lover!"

"What?"

"Yes, he does! That's why he's always rejecting me saying he's tired."

"Jill again?"

"I don't know… I heard she moved in with her stupid boyfriend."

"Laure… More than ever you need to control yourself and find out if he got a new lover."

"It's obvious he has someone else! He's too much changed and I'm sure he just went after her now! He can't disguise it anymore."

"Well, in my opinion. You need to control yourself to find this out. He left home, but it doesn't mean you can't track him."

Laureen nodded while she listened to the voice

In the morning, Chris was in his cabin. His suspension was over, but he still wasn't allowed to field missions. He was thoughtful about the previous night, after spending it at a hotel. His mind was full. He was determined to file for divorce and in fact, he had already scheduled an appointment for later that day.

He looked at the window and thought about Evana. He needed her; that distance was demanding too much from him. He was sure he didn't love Laureen and all he wanted was to have his lovely blonde back in his arms. He finally gained the courage and called J.D. but for his misfortune, the number had been changed.

"Dammit!" he cursed

He rested his head on his arms over the desk and sighed in frustration, "What was her number?" he talked to himself making an effort to remember Yana's personal number, "I hope you answer me…" he spoke after a sigh and took the telephone to dial her number

However, his attention was taken by Laureen suddenly entering his cabin spoiling him. He sighed heavily in frustration, "What are you doing here?" he asked in annoyance

"I need to talk…"

"Can't you see I'm working?"

"I know, but I really needed to retreat with you and since you are not coming home any time soon, I had no option and came here..."

"Be quick." He spoke sharply

Chris listened to the woman's claims and cries, but nothing she said made him change his mind. The woman sobbed and tried to blackmail him about their son's death.

Bohma

It was a Friday night in August. Since Chris left Bohma, Yana moved in with Evana to take care of her.

She was preparing herself in the dressing room of the nightclub when Nico entered the room.

"Hello ginger." He greeted her with a friendly tone

"Hi Nico. What are you doing here? I thought you would never get back." She said giving the final touches on her makeup

"I'm back! I guess I could tell you the same since Eva doesn't work here anymore. I thought you were doing the same…"

"Eva has all the reasons to not work here anymore, I don't share the same luck, but it's okay, it distracts my mind."

"It's been over a month since I don't see you here."

"Yeah, Eva hadn't feel good lately and I was taking care of them."

"Them?" he asked with a puzzled expression

"Yeah. Eva is pregnant."

"Really? Chris's?" he asked in surprise

"Yeah, obviously!" she replied rolling her eyes

"Not obviously! I saw the two of you hanging out with a guy too!"

"Ahhh, so you were stalking us?" she said crossing her arms staring at him

His voice trembled, "Not stalking, it happened that I was around at the same time a few times and I thought he was 'doing' the two of you since he frequented her house too…"

"What the fuck?! You were really stalking!" she said loud

"I wasn't stalking! I wanted to talk to you, but I got curious to know about that… Spiky Dog!" he said with mocking way

"Spiky Dog?"

"Yeah! I don't know his name, but I heard he was friends with the Stray Dog."

"I can't believe this… you were so stalking!" she said shaking her head in disbelief

"It's not stalk. It's a small town and people talk. You know that."

"Oh yeah and you were all about the gossip, huh!" she said with a mock

"Of course I was. I needed to know who was the guy banging my girl!"

"Banging Your girl?" she replied snapped widening her eyes

"Yes! You were so fast and you didn't even hide you two were having a thing. Everyone saw you together here at work and he also sleeping in your place." The man didn't hide his jealous

"I'm not fast! You were the one who walked away! You thought what… That I would keep on waiting for you forever?"

"Not forever, but it wasn't that long either!"

"You left the city! You said "most probably I won't be back". I did wait for you for some time and you didn't come back! You didn't even call!"

"I was confused!"

"So fucked the confusion in your ass! You made your choice."

"I know that, but I didn't call you because I saw you with that guy!"

"Shut up! You have no right to talk about that guy that was much more of a man than you!"

"What? You don't need to insult me like that! You are taking it too personal."

"It is too personal! I don't admit you telling me bullshit about him! You walked away."

"He walked away too!"

"He never led me on and never played with my feelings!" she shouted

"Mr. Perfect just played with you!"

The woman opened her mouth to badmouth him, but she just took a deep breathe, "You know what? I don't owe you any explanation; I don't have time for your bullshit." She said keeping her belongings in her necessaire

The man stepped closer to her and gently touched her arm, "Yana. I'm sorry… I didn't want us to fight." He said with a regretted tone

The ginger sighed heavily still with her back to him

"You are right… I walked away and you let him in. There's nothing wrong on that, I just couldn't help my jealous, but I understood you were moving on… It's just that I had never seen you so happy and I thought you were leaving with them."

She chuckled, "That would never happen." She said looking down

"Why not? Even I could see you had chemistry."

She shook her head, "He was too complicated for my tastes. I could never be capable to deal with his kind of work and live worried about his whereabouts…" she made a pause, "Besides he was honest with me… He said he liked me and if he had met me first it wouldn't be hard for him to fall for me, but the truth was that he still had feelings for someone else and we even talked about her a few times..."

The man parted his lips to say something, but preferred to remain in silence.

"I lived it with all of me and I don't regret it… But now he's dead. His memory deserves respect! And all I want and need is to move on." She spoke with a saddened tone embracing herself

"Ginger… I didn't know that. Now I feel much worse for saying all those things… I'm so sorry…" he said taking her into an embrace

She stepped away from him, "I don't need your sorry. Now I have to work." She said with a firm tone and left the room

Nico sighed heavily shaking his head embarrassed of himself and then left the room. Sometime later, he went to the men's bathroom and when he was leaving he recognized one of Stan's men at the bar making questions about Scarlet, however, all the attention of the people were directed to the stage when Yana out of sudden fainted during her performance. He hurried to her aid.

It didn't take too long for the ginger to regain her consciousness. She refused being taken to the hospital after claiming she was fine. Nico insisted taking her home and there he told them he had seen one of Stan's men. They knew it was just a matter of time until that man would show up again.

"Dear Diary,

It's time to leave. There's nothing else for me to do in this town and now knowing my nemesis is haunting me again, I can't relax any moment and I know this is not good for my baby.

Yana and I are no match for that gross man.

It's time for a big change."

Thank you Xaori, HerpDerp and silver scropion for the reviews. :D You guys are the best! I loved your comments and I really felt touched by your feedback. Thank you a bunch! :D

Phew, that was a dramatic chapter, but still just a training to what's coming next.

Chris seems to be resolute about his decision to divorce Laureen, but she is resolute as well to not to give it to him.

In the other hand, Evana and Yana are starting to have their own issues too and Eva is determined to do whatever she can to protect her baby.

And poor Chris, bad timing my friend! xD

Stay tuned!
