"Good morning love. Are you ok?"
"Yes and no."
"Are you having second thoughts about moving in with me?" Becky asked and Sierra shook her head.
"No, it's nothing like that."
"Want to tell me about it?"
"I'm scared of what your reaction is going to be." Sierra admitted, smiling when Becky moved to sit behind her and wrapped her arms around her waist.
"You can tell me anything love. Please don't ever be afraid to talk to me."
"I just...this is something I've never talked about with anyone." Sierra whispered and Becky tightened her hold on her waist.
"Take your time love, I'm not going anywhere."
Sierra closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "When I was seventeen my dad arranged for me to be married on my eighteenth birthday. His name was Jason and...right from the beginning it was like I was living in a nightmare."
"What happened love?"
"He was so controlling...I couldn't talk to anyone, do anything or go anywhere without his permission. I was absolutely miserable all the time." Sierra said, tears falling from her eyes.
"Oh love, I am so sorry."
"The physical abuse started about a month into the marriage. He told me to do something one day and I was so tired of his rules that I told him to do it himself and that's when he slapped me. It only got worse from there and it happened all the time. It went on until I was twenty-one...I tried to tell my dad about it but he wouldn't believe me."
"Why not?" Becky asked, wiping tears from her own eyes.
"Jason had my dad fooled into believing he was the perfect son-in-law so he refused to believe anything bad about him. He said that I just needed to be a better wife and everything would be fine. When mom found out what was going on she actually believed me. With her help I was able to get out of the house when he was at work and she hired the best lawyer that was able to find something on him and I got a divorce with no fight from him."
"Just another reason for me not to like your dad." Becky mumbled and Sierra laughed.
"A year later I met Bobby and I thought he was the one for me...until you came into my life and made me rethink everything I knew."
"Do you ever wish we hadn't met?"
"No!" Sierra exclaimed, turning in Becky's arms and kissing her. "I love you baby and you've changed my life for the better."
"I love you too and I'm glad to hear you say that. Why don't we go in the house and watch a movie or something?" Becky questioned, moaning when Sierra nibbled on her neck.
"I have a better idea of what we could do."
"I like the way you think love." Becky said, standing up and taking her by the hand as she practically dragged her in the house.
