We are gonna work our way up and see all the factors that play a part on the accident, the relationship and the cheating. But anyways. Happy thanksgiving!!!

Sally and Lightning Sat at the lovely restaurant with their meals in front of them. Lightning gazed at his wife who sat across form him. She was just so beautiful in her pencil skirt, button up and her cute top bun. Sally noticed him staring and asked, "What?" Lightning smiled, "You look beautiful as always." Sally just rolled her eyes. The couple ate their food some before Lightning asked, "What do you want to do once we get back to the house?" Sally thought a moment before answering that, "Well, we could always… Try.." She stopped and sighed, "Never mind." Lightning stared at her moment. He instantly knew what she was going for. He sighed and frowned. He just.. Didn't have those desires lately. Sally played with her food and asked, "Do you think it could even.. You could even.. Get up?" Lightning glared at his wife before snarling, "Why do-are you so concerned?" "Because it's kind of affecting some things. Don't you think?" She asked. Lightning didn't answer that though.

Sally frowned and asked, "Are you sure we are okay?" Lightning smiled, "I think we are doing better than we were. I think things are going well." "Except for the sex." Sally reminded. Lightning sighed and glanced around. Seeing if they were being spied on or anything. Sally stared at her food before continuing, "I feel like you aren't attracted to me." Lightning only snarled, "And I feel like you are overthinking and making this more difficult than it needs to be." "How?" She asked. Lightning shrugged answering, "Well, you use to be so easy. Now, you're just… Difficult to get"-"Stop. I can not believe that's what you want to say. How you want to describe this. Fine. I get it." "I don't mean it like that. I just meant"-"Stop. I don't want to talk anymore. Just eat." Sally snapped quietly.

Lightning sighed. Watching Sally grow frustrated with him. That kind of hurt but he let it go. What an idiot to word things like that….

The couple returned to the house and Lightning locked the door behind them. Years ago, Lightning would have locked the door, began undressing, pushing his wife against the wall, kissing her with such passion and taking in every inch of her salty skin while taking her breath away, but now?… Now he just felt tired, bored, not able to have the same energy he use to for it. Things were bad and Sally was right. Sally walked over to him and wrapped her arms around Lightning. Hugging him and whispering, "I love you.." Before letting him go and heading to the bedroom. Lightning stood there a moment. Not sure what she was doing, then heard the bath. She was probably trying to relax after that dinner……

Sally woke up before Lightning and made some coffee. Taking her phone and sitting o the couch and turning on the news as she flipped through social media. She was looking at things to do today, but really she already knew that some how or another that today would wind up a fight between her and Lightning either way. It seemed to always duo that anymore. Sally walked back to the bedroom. Lightning was still asleep. So she got dressed, wrote him a note and decided to do a little shopping and a spa alone for a few hours. Just to have some nice me time without the superstar dragging the rates along with him.

Sally went to a few small stores. Buying some jewelry, some shirts, a purse. Then she headed to the spa and relaxed with a facial, nails. It was very nice to get away from things and relax alone for a bit. Sally stepped out of the spa and saw Lightning leaning against a car outside. Her eyes widened as she asked, "What are you doing here?" Lightning snickered, "Well, I thought I'd come check up on you." Sally raised a brow. "Checking up on me or stalking?" Sally asked with a giggle. Lightning rolled his eyes at that. Sally walked up to him and kissed him on the cheek gently. "Nice of you to come, Stickers." Lighting hadn't heard that name in forever. Or at least it had felt like it to him. "Haven't I outgrown that name?" He asked. Sally wrapped her hands around his arm as she giggled, "Never." He smiled. Glad to to hear that, actually. Lightning and Sally walked by a few stores, until they walked by a shoe store and Sally stopped and stared at a pair of heels. "Go on." Lightning said. Noticing how much she liked their sparkling. Sally smiled and walked into the store after handing Lightning her other bags. He sighed. Bag holder. Right. Sally walked in and asked the lady if she could see the shoes. The lady looked Sally up and down and snarled, "You sure you can afford those?" Sally's brows lowered as she walked out the door. She refused to be treated that way. Lightning noticed no bag and asked, "What happened?" "Rude woman selling them." "Rude to you?" "Yeah, she asked me if I was sure I could afford them like a smug snot." Crossing her arms. Lightning snickered a bit then handed the bags back to Sally before asking, "Seven, right? Hold on." He walked into the store before Sally could argue.

Walking in, the lady looked over and her eyes widened. "Mr.McQueen… Are you?.. Um.. Buying shoes for someone? Looking for some nice shoes for yourself?" She asked. Lightning glanced over at the shoes in the window, but before he could say anything, "Those are a lovely pair. Could I ask the side of… Sally?" The woman asked. Lightning glared at the woman a second before answering, "Well.. She was just in here, but explained to me how you were rude to her?" The lady turned red in the face….

Lightning walked back out with a box in a bag. Sally looked at him and asked, "You really bought me the shoes?" Lightning shook his head answering, "No, they didn't have your size. So I bought you better ones." "What? Let me see." "When we get home. I have to take the price off first." "Price? Wait-How much were they? More?" Asked Sally. Lightning didn't answer. Sally jumped in front of her husband and asked, '700?… 800?…" No answer. "Lightning! I don't wear shoes that cost more than "1,200." Lightning shrugged answering, "Well now I got you something nicer and you can't take them back. It's a gift." "How much was your gift? I do the budget. I will see eventually." She reminded. Lightning sighed and griped, "We are rich. I don't know why you do the budget anyway." "Investing. Anyway, how much?" Sally asked as they walked to the vehicle. Lightning opened the door for Sally and handed her the shoes. She quickly opened up the bag and saw the receipt. 8,200.00 Sally's jaw dropped and she about said something, but Lightning shut the car door on her before as he could……

The couple sat on the couch together, Making out. Their tongues rolling and intertwining with one another.

Sally's thoughts…

Is this working?

Feels different… I never really noticed before, but.. His tongue feels.. Weird… Why am I worrying about his tongue, that's gross.

Lightning's thoughts..

We've been making out for like three or five minutes now.. What is going on?

Why am I not getting a rise out of this.. She smells good, she looks good… Fuck..

Sally's

Is he up? IS he enjoying this?

Sally placed her right hand over Lightning's thigh, grazing up and over his zippier a little.

Her thoughts…

Crap.. He's not hard. What can I do? I'll moan.

Sally moaned into Lightning's mouth a little dramatically.

Lightning's thoughts…

Oh god.. She's enjoying this that much?.. I need to get this moving along…

Lighting grabbed her right breast with his left hand, groping it entirely.

His thoughts…

There.. Is this good?… Nothing.. I'm not feeling this at all.

Maybe if I.. Push her back?

Lighting gently pushed Sally down onto her back on the couch as he crawled over her, their lips only parting for a moment before they were making out again.

Sally's thoughts…

Maybe it was the way he was sitting…

She reached between them and began to unbutton and zip his pants. And that's when Lightning broke the session abruptly and sat back on the other side of the couch. Sally had it and snapped, "What is wrong!?" Lightning eyes were wide and his face a little red. Was he embarrassed? Sally was a little taken by his expression. "Stickers…" Lightning shook his head and lowered his brows as he growled, "It's nothing, I'm fine. It's not you. I'm just tired." "All the time?" "YES!" He yelled! Sally stared any him a moment. Thinking to herself. Lightning sighed before getting up and walking away. He just couldn't look at Sally right now. Sally thought about this. Whatever this was, it was something new and that Lightning was not wanting to deal with, but they were going to have to at some point. She just wish she knew how to fix this for him….

Sally Walked into the kitchen the following morning. She saw Lightning cooking something. "What you making there, champ?" She asked as she poured herself some coffee. Lightning turned towards his wife and smiled, "Good morning. And breakfast. Hungry?" He asked. Sally shrugged answering, "Maybe shortly, I just woke up." Lightning nodded and continued to cook. Sally sat at the table, sipping her coffee and decided to bring up, "I was doing some research last night while you were asleep." Lightning nodded and asked, "About what?" Sally hesitated answering that, "Erectile dysfunction." Lightning froze, his face turned a bit red. Sally knew he didn't want to hear it. "Stickers…It's not just not getting up. It also presents as reduced sex drive. We both know you are like.. Majorly reduced in that areas." "Yeah, well.. I've been through a lot and I'm tired." "Lightning…" "Look, I'm stressed out and tired all the time." "Why?" "I.. I don't know. I'm not feeling like myself lately and things just.. Don't.. Do what they did." "We are older, but.." "No. No, I'm not that old and that's not it anyway. I'm fine, just tired." Lightning griped. Sally sighed, "But Stickers…There are medications to help if need be. And that's fine if you need a little help, okay? There is no shame." "No same? I'm-I'm fine. Stop worrying. I'll fuck you when I'm not so tired." "Stickers." "No, really. Listen I get it, you are horny and want it, but"-"STICKERS! THE STOVE!" Sally shouted! Lightning turned around and realized the pan was on fire! He instantly turned it off and tossed the pan into the sink. Sally rushed over and ran water over it. At first, the fire was larger, but the water did put it out. The couple sighed with relief. Sally and Lightning looking at each other for a moment before Lightning reassured, "I'll be fine. Just.. Please stop looking too deeply into this,. IT's fine, I'll be fine. Just.. Tired.." He said again before stepping away. "I'll order in for us this morning.." He said as he grabbed his phone and stepped outside. Closing the back door behind him. He sat alone. Sally was probably right at usual, but.. He did no want to admit that. And what if it wasn't him in the sex drive aspect? What if he was just.. Not attracted to Sally anymore. He was so worried to know. Surely its wasn't that though.. Truthfully, Lightning was depressed and afraid and embarrassed himself and felt terrible towards how things were with Sally...

Lightning and Sally sipped out of the car to the vineyard. Sally asked, "Wine tasting? This was your idea of how to destress?" As she raised a brow towards her husband. Lightning shrugged, "Well, yeah. They have a moonshine room too. Ever tried it." "I know better than that." Sally growled. Lightning rolled his eyes and grabbed Sally's hand, pulling her along for the tour. Sally and Lightning followed the guide around the place. Trying a few different wines. Wasn't too bad. Some were a little… Tart. The couple made their way to the gift shop and the moonshine room. Not many of the crowd tried any of it. Sally realized that her husband and suddenly disappeared. "Lightning…" She called quietly. Crap, where did he go. "Hey!" He greeted form behind suddenly. Sally jumped from the scare and Lightning quickly apologized. "What were you doing?" She asked. Lightning shrugged answering, "Just.. Nothing. Ready to go?' He asked. Sally nodded and they made their way back to the suv. Getting in, Lightning handed Sally a bottle of wine. "You bought wine?" She asked. Lightning snickered, "Sort of. But it's the kind you like, right?" Sally glanced at the bottle before nodding and asked, "What do you mean sort of?" He didn't answer. Suddenly Sally gasped, "YOU STOLE IT?!" He was tipsy and becoming drunk. "I'm driving." Sally snapped and got out, Basically yanking Lightning out of the driver seat…..

Once home and inside. Lightning popped the wine open and poured them Botha. glass. Walking over and handing none to his wife. "Here." He said. "Drink up." Sally took the glass but stared at it. He was already on the verge of drunk at this point. She watched him sip the wine then asked, "What are we doing?" Lightning snickered with a smile, "Drinking before we let the night see where it goes, you know?" "You sound so drunk." Sally growled. Lightning sipped his wine before replying, "Maybe I am a little. Won't you join me? This one night? Let your hair down." He said with a charming smile. Sally's brows lowered as she reminded, "My hair is down." Lightning sipped the rest of his wine and brushed his fingers through Sally's hair before gazing down into her eyes. Sally sipped her wine, but noticed the shift in Lightning's demeanor. Hi hand grazing the side of her face. Sally sipped more of the wine before setting it down on the nearest table in the kitchen. Gazing into each others eyes. He was drunk. Did she like the idea of the fact that he had to be drunk to become intimate, no. But he seemed to be going for it, and she wouldn't stop him. The couple embraced each other and began kissing softly. Kissing more and more intensely as they did. Making out, Sally moaned quietly and Lightning replied with a. Deep growl of a moan that Sally could just barely hear. Lightning's hands drifted from her face, to her throat, to her shoulders, her middle back, her hips, to her ass. His grip on each cheek sent sparks through her body. Moaning into her husband's mouth. Sally took the bottom of Lightning's shirt and lifted it over his head, tossing it to the ground as her hands rubbed over his chest, his pecks. Lightning kissed her lips once more before biting her lower lip then moving to her neck. Kissing and licking the skin of her neck. Sally moaned when she felt his teeth on her. It hurt, but felt amazing when he bit her.

Sally's nails dug into Lightning's shoulders. Seeming to drive him more. Sally could feel his member between them. Honestly, she was already ready for him. Her body begging to have him inside her. Lightning kissed her collar bone then went down onto his knees, kissing her are through her clothes as he groped her ass, pulling her areas into his face. Sally moaned and whispered, "Please… Please take them off.." Lightning looked up at her a moment before grabbing all her clothes covering her lower body and pulling them down quickly. Sally kicked her Showa off and Lighting gently took the clothes off by her ankles and tossed them aside. Instantly, he grabbed her ass and shoved her area into his face. Her smooth, went, tender area. Sally jolted of electricity when his tongue lapped her clit and area swiftly. Moaning as he pleased her with his warm tongue. Lightning loved this. Tasting his woman.. Her juices just pouring over his face. She was soaking, pleading, needing him badly. And her flavor so much stronger and thicker than usual. She was extremely needy for him. "Oh Lightning… Yes.. Yes.." She moaned! Lightning shiver her into his face more, digging in for more of her. Sally could barely stand at this point and he noticed.

Lightning stood back up, leaving Sally breathless at the moment. Her face red as rosed. She was beautiful or he was that drunk. Lightning guided her to the couch, where he fell back unintentionally. Laying on his back, Sally crawled over him and they began to make out again. Their tongues rolling around in each other's mouths. Lightning ran his hands through Sally's silk hair. So soft.. So perfect. Sally moaning into Lightning's mouth. Enjoying this in everything it was. Lightning lay there with one leg off the couch, the other stuck between Sally and the back of the couch. Sally brow the kiss and received his member of its restraints. Instantly taking it in her mouth, Lightning closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh of pleasure. The way she rolled her tongue around the base. Bobbing up and down, flickering her tongue right near the tip then suddenly she bit slightly at the top, but he loved it! Lightning showed his teeth a little, letting her know that he felt that. She did it agin, once more before taking sucking as hard as she could on the head. Lightning mooned and tensed up. His body shuttering at the teasing of her tongue's pressure and warmth of her mouth. He wouldn't hold out long like this! Lightning grabbed Sally's hair and yanked her up, face to face. Staring at each other before kissing again. This time, Lightning guided Sally's area right above his member. Slamming her onto him. "FUCK!" Sally shouted! He back snapping back! Lightning grabbed the collar of her t shirt and tore it down the middle. Sally was surprised by that somewhat, but loved it! She didn't even mind that her shirt was ruined. Lightning began his hips up and down from beneath and Sally helped. Bouncing herself cup and down. God it felt amazing! Her insides tight and warm and wet and just sucking every inch of him in! Lightning pulled Sally closer by the shoulders, making out with her again as they fucked with such pleasure. A feeling neither had felt in so long! Sally moaned into Lightning's mouth as his rhythm began to pick up pace. He was so close. Sally snapped up, breaking the kiss. "OH Lightning!.. Lightning!.. I.. I'm" She couldn't even finish her sentence when she tensed up and her insides tightened in spasms around him! Lightning grabbed the couch cushions as she was so tight in the waves. The his body would not take anymore. He suddenly came inside her. Spurt after spurt of sweet, sweet release!……

Sally walked outside early the following morning In her robe to find Lightning sipping some coffee as he watched the sun rise. He glanced over his shoulder to see his lovely wife. He smiled, "Morning." "Good morning." She replied as she sat ext to him. Lightning gazed at her saying, "Last night was fun." Sally snickered and nodded. But. "We were drinking. You were pretty much drunk." "Not drunk enough to forget that." Lightning defended. Sally stared at him and asked, "Do you think we need therapy? Or maybe like.. Yoga or something? You should not have to be drunk to do that, Stickers." Lightning cleared his throat, sipping his coffee before cuddling up with hiss wife. He didn't reply for a few minutes. Thinking mostly. He finally sighed and said, "We don't need that stuff. I just need to unwind and relax. I told you, I've been stressed and tired. Trust me. I'm fine and we are fine. Okay, Beautiful?" He asked with a. Smile. Sally nodded before nestling in and cuddling with her love. "Besides," Lightning added, "I am not doing yoga." Sally giggled a little. The couple sat there. Enjoying and watching the sun rise...

The couple pulled up and into Carson's drive way. Lightning shut off the vehicle and asked, "Um.. What all have you been telling your Dad?… About us?" As if he were afraid of Carson or something. Sally stared at Lightning a moment before answering, "Oh, um.. Not to much.." "Like.. About the fighting and stuff? I know you tell him a lot.." "No, not about that. I mean.. We talk, sure. But.. There are some things my Dad should never know." "Okay.." Lightning replied nervously as if he didn't believe Sally entirely there. The couple got out and walked up to the front door of the beautiful home. Sally rang the door bell and it didn't take long for the door to open. Carson smiled seeing his little girl and hugged her quickly. "So good to see you, Sally." He said with such a smile. Letting her go he stared at Lightning a moment before nodding and lending his hand out to shake. "Lightning." He greeted in a tone that read slightly unfriendly. Lightning smiled like a goofball then shook hands with his Father in law. "Carson." He replied. The three went inside, closing the door behind them. Sally asked, "When is everyone else coming?' Carson smiled, "Christmas Eve. Nathan and his family may be here sooner. Depends on Norman." Sally nodded and asked, "How is that little squirt?" "Not really little anymore, you know?' Carson reminded with a laugh. Sally smiled. Carson took to the kitchen asking the couple, "Drinks? I have some great egg nog mix." Sally's lips curled at the thought. "No thanks." Lightning shook his head, answering, "No, I'm alright." Carson nodded then asked, "How are things going?" Sally and Lightning glanced at each other. Lightning answering, "Great. What else would they be?" He asked. Carson glared at the kid before looking at Sally and asking, "Would you two mind helping with the decorations?" "Not at all, Dad." Sally answered with a smile. Carson went around to the living room where the couple followed. There were a few boxes of Christmas decor sprawled out all over. Lightning sighed. Didn't think he'd be roped into doing this today…..

Carson helped Sally hang what was almost the last of the decorations. Lightning walked up with another wreath and began to ask, "Where do you want the"- He stepped right into box and slipped, tripping forward and right into the tree. Knocking it down and falling to the ground, hotting the wall next to the tree. Lightning lay on the tree and looked up at Sally and Carson. Sally asking, "Are you okay?" Carson crossed his arms and leaned on the wall. Sally reached for Lightning to help him up when a Fram fell form the wall, Lightning quickly shoved sally back as it fell onto his upper arm. The Fram broke into pieces. Carson quickly asked, "You okay?" As Sally gasped a bit. Lightning looked at his arm. Minor cuts and.. Glass sticking out slightly. He stared a moment before stupidly pulling it out. "No!" Sally scolded, but too late. The dumb ass pulled the glass out and blood ran down his arm and hand. "IS that my blood?.." Lightning asked in a slight panic. Carson snickered with, "Well duh." Lightning stared at his blood. His heart rate quickens, his vision felt like it was darkening. People screaming and he felt really hot suddenly. Like sweating hot. Carson's brows lowered as he noticed. "McQueen." He called in a rude tone. Sally with, "Lightning." He was in trance staring at his arm. Carson realized what this was and grabbed Lightning up by the other arm and slapped him across the face! Sally shouted, "DAD!" In a yelp! Lightning looked directly at Carson, his breathing slowing down. Carson looked at Lightning in the eyes and said, "You're fine. Go clean up." Lightning nodded a little. Looking down at the tree. Carson glanced down to and said, "Don't worry about it. Go clean up." Lightning hesitated but walked away a little pale in the face. Sally watched a moment then asked, "Why did you do that!?" Carson crossed his arms and reminded, "You told me he has nightmares. Did you not see the look on that man's face? It was pure panic. He was stuck in the memory of what happened at the track." Sally stared a moment. "Oh god… Lightning.." She whispered before rushing off after her husband. Carson stood there, staring at the tree a moment before sighing. Hard to be mad at the kid after something like that was witnessed….

Carson was preparing dinner for the three of them when Lightning walked in. HIs arm all bandaged up and wrapped in co-band. Carson raised a brow and asked, "Do you think it's wrapped enough?:" Lightning glanced at his arm before snickering with a smile, "Sally did it." Carson chuckled a bit, "Well, she over did it a bit." Lightning nodded and asked, "Would you.. Like some help?" Carson sacred at Lightning a moment. Thinking before answering, "Sure. Can you um.. Get the chicken out of the oven and pour that mixture in the bowel over it?" Lightning nodded and did just as Carson instructed. Carson watched the kid as he made salad. "Are you okay?" Carson finally asked. Lightning nodded, Carson sighed. He didn't really believe the kid entirely. Sally walked in and stared. "Wow. Are you two actually getting along?' She asked with a smile. Carson and Lightning glanced at Sally then each other. Carson with, "NO, of course not. He's still an idiot." Lightning glared at the old man before rolling his eyes. But smiled. They were indeed getting along.

The three sat down for dinner. Beginning to eat and drink their drinks. It was quiet at first. Carson had to start though, "We are all close family here. Sally tells me a lot." That right there. Lightning just knew tings were about to go south. He honestly thought about calling it a night night now just because of that starter. Carson continued though, "How are things going back home? The motels are good?" Sally nodded, "Yep. I get to go in to more of Lightning's races now. He helped hire, well… Help." She said with a smile. Carson nodded and asked "And.. The whole… Baby thing?" He asked. Lightning and Sally glanced at each other. Sally sighed answering, "Um.. Just taking it as it comes." Carson's brows lowered. Lightning knew form that reaction, that Carson knew more than he lead on and Sally had been telling Carson more than she had been putting on. Carson nodded, "Well… I guess it'll happen when it happens." Lightning snickered and snarled, "Stop pretending you two don't go into detail abut our lives. I'm sure you know already." "Lightning." Sally snapped quietly. Lightning faked a laugh, "Ha, don't do that." Carson's brows lowered as he spoke, "You're right. I do know a lot because my daughter doesn't need to hide things from her father. She does, however, have to hide crap from you." "What's that mean?" Lightning asked as he looked at Sally. Sally sunk into her seat. Carson then added, "You are an ass to her all of the time now. No wonder she doesn't talk to you about things she talks to me about." "Is this about the baby thing?" Lightning asked. Carson snarled, "Somewhat. I know Ben wouldn't have had any trouble with it. Oh that's right he did actually give her a baby." Lightning stood up and finally snapped! Unloading it all at Carson, "Okay, old man! I've had enough of your judging and telling me how to live my life just because I'm with your daughter! You made fun of me for being a nobody and now I'm one of the most famous people in the states! Even people in other countries know who I am! Worried I would never make the money to support her, and now I make more than you do in ten years in a month!" "That's exaggerating…" Carson growled. Lightning just continued, "I am tired of you, Carson! You and your nagging and going on and on and telling Sally and controlling half the crap she does for a said amount of time every time we come up here!" "That's because you run around like a drunk and famous, washed up celebrity!" Carson yelled as he stood up. Lightning just shouted back with, "Seriously!? After everything that's been going on!?" "EXACTLY! You have put Sally in so much danger! She was almost shot and then that crap with the guy I your house!? The things Sally has had to witness!? And you stand there and expect her two be fine!?" Carson was furious! Lightning glanced at Sally. DIdn't cross his mind until now. Fuck. Sally sighed and spoke, "Dad.." Lightning frowned and spoke to Sally, "I'm sorry…" Sitting down slowly. Sally isn't reply to him. Carson sat back down and sighed. The three of them eating a little. Quietly and awkwardly before the couple and Carson headed off to their rooms for bed…..

Lightning crawled in bed next to his wife and asked, "Are you okay?" Sally smiled, "Yeah. You and my Dad have got to chill. And you did not need to snap at him like that." "He made a horribly inappropriate comment about Ben knocking you up." Sally glared at her husband. Lightning sighed, "I'm sorry. I just.." "You are right. He was really out of line with that, but.. I'm asking you to stay calm and please.. We only come out here and see him like once maybe twice a year and he doesn't have anyone. Just his kids. Me, Sam and Nathan…" Lightning nodded and apologized. "I'll try.." He admitted. Sally smiled and kiss him on his cheek. "Thank you. I'll talk to my Dad tomorrow to. He shouldn't have done that. It's like you two just love getting on each others nerves on purpose." She griped. Lightning snickered at that before cuddling up with his wife for a hopefully good nights rest….
