The door to Eames' apartment opened violently, and hit the wall with a crash, startling Kevin who was sitting quietly on the couch waiting for Eames to return, his fists clenched, and who looked up, discovering Goren followed by Eames.
Well... Well...
Eames had dared to come with her lover.
What a strange irony.
She who told him that he was only her partner.
It was rushed into his arms after he corrected again.
And given the loose clothing that Eames wore, and that could only belong to a man, the one who stood beside him, proved him right about their relationship.
And Eames dared to come back here...
To affront her with her lover.
Hardly to have slept with him.
But he was going to take care of her again.
When that nuisance was gone.
Eames was going to see what kind of wood he was burning.
And above all...
what it was like to make him wear cuckold's horns.
How dare she...
Dare to come and show up with him.
- Here... The bitch is back... Kevin spoke with contempt, his fists clenched on his hips, to the point of having white knuckles. And on top of that with his lover.
What.
Had Goren heard Kevin's words correctly.
He...
Eames' lover.
But the boy was crazy.
But it was the word he had slutted up that made him lose all control of himself.
Emaes a bitch...
How dare he say such a thing.
He was going to make her swallow his words...
And with this step.
With a firm and determined step, Goren rushed towards Kevin.
When he reached Kevin's height, he grabbed him by the collar, lifted him off the couch, and went to stick him against the wall, shaking him with all his might.
- Let's see it again...
Kevin raised his chin, challenging him.
- The bitch... I got that right.
The bitch...
Goren raised his point in rage, and lowered it.
But a small hand landed on his fist, stopping him.
He turned around to find Eames nodding at him.
No.
Eames wasn't serious.
Emaes couldn't stop him.
Not after the horror Kevin had done to her.
That violence she carried on her...
On every part of her body.
Every part...
The ones that were also invisible.
And that had hurt her soul.
By this psychological violence.
And Eames intervened...
Prevented him from returning one.
When that was all that this little despicable being deserved...
Who wasn't a man for doing what he dared to do to Eames.
- You can't ask me that.
Don't ask him that...
But if Goren ever hit Kevin...
Kevin could turn on him.
And press charges against him.
And what if he was arrested for assault and battery.
Especially since...
That she had kept silent about his abuse.
So how could anyone believe that Goren did this to protect her.
Especially if kevin said he was her lover.
They might believe that goren did this out of jealousy.
But it would all be wrong.
No, that was not an option.
She couldn't let him do that.
And risk him going to jail because of her.
- Please Bobby...
Here... Here...
Eames was finally revealing the truth about their relationship.
By calling Goren by his nickname...
She was showing that they were not just partners.
But intimate.
And all along...
Kevin was right about Eames.
This woman was a slut.
She was sleeping with her partner.
He did the right thing by treating her the way he did.
That's all she deserved.
In addition...
A simple partnership she said.
Yeah...
You bet it was.
Please Bobby…
My God...
He could hardly hear her words.
He must have been dreaming about this Eames intervention.
And yet...
It was her holding his fist between her little fingers.
How could Eames have interfered.
Asking her not to do anything.
It could not be possible...
And her big hazel eyes looking at him, begging.
No.
He should not give in.
For once he could fix everything that Kevin had done to her.
She was telling him not to hit him.
God...
Why was she doing that.
He had to teach Kevin a lesson.
And make him want to raise his hand on a woman again.
On addition...
Goren had nothing to lose.
So why would he...
Yes...
why.
- Bobby...
Gently, she firmed the pressure of her fingers on his, making him yield.
It wasn't fair.
After all the beating she'd taken...
She...
Her heart sank.
Reluctantly, Goren let go of Kevin, who fell to the ground.
Kevin struggled to his feet, looking at Goren's face, who looked like a madman and had been drawn into a rage.
- I haven't abused you enough. He spat out his words, looking at Eames with rage and disgust. You dared to come with your lover.
Kevin violently pushed Goren out of the way, and with a determined step headed for the door.
When he reached the door, he turned around.
- You can keep that slut.
Keep that slut...
Mad with rage, Goren rushed towards him, but Eames stood in front of him, put his palms flat on his chest, forcing him to stop.
- No Bobby... Goren pushed Eames away, but she stayed firmly in front of him, preventing him from moving forward, shaking her head in denial. He's not worth it.
If he wasn't worth it...
Why didn't she let him give her a good beating.
But on the other hand...
Eames was right.
She always was.
She was always the more sensible of the two.
You should never hit the shit.
Or it would always splash up on you.
And Kevin was a piece of shit.
But he wanted so badly to make Eames regret all the pain he'd caused.
To put him through the pain with his fists.
To show him that he could hurt too.
- Alex... You better let me through.
At Goren's threats, Eames didn't move a muscle, and tightened the pressure of his fingers on his chest.
Good God...
Did Goren really think she'd let him through?
And that she was afraid of him.
On the contrary...
He was the only one she trusted.
So he could threaten her...
She would never budge an inch.
- No... I won't let you go.
Good God...
But she was persistent.
Why was she always doing that.
Always trying to make him see reason.
When the person he had in front of him didn't deserve it.
And besides...
Knowing her…
She wouldn't let go.
And there was nothing he could do.
It was a waste of time.
So for Eames...
Only for her.
He wouldn't go back to Kevin.
But it was really hard to hold back.
He was so itchy.
Goren turned his gaze to Kevin, and raised his hand.
- Get the hell out of here. Gorne screamed, his face red and distorted with rage. If you ever get close to Eames... I will kill you with my own hands.
From the look on Goren's face, distorted by rage, Kevin knew he was very serious.
And that if he ever got close to Eames, Goren would not hesitate for a second.
So Kevin turned away, and left the apartment, slamming the door with all his might.
