Just Once

Three years of marriage brought nothing but a thorn to my heart. My child was critically ill and in need of treatment. My husband didn't care and even called me unfaithful. In my desperation, I sold my body and soul in exchange for the recovery of my child. His name was Benjamin. Dominating the underworld and influencing politics, he was like a poppy that impressed, captivated, broke, and disillusioned me. He said that different from the others who approached me only for sex, he wanted every part of me. He also said that I was his only one and that nothing in this world could compare with me. Then he told me that these were all lies. I told him that these were true to me.

"Alex" I said softly. "I want-"

"What? I'll do anything" Alex cut me off.

I rolled my eyes. "First, I want you to stop interrupting me. Then you can help trigger my emotions."

Alex's eyes grew wide before he started grinning. "Really? You want to turn it back on?"

I nodded. "You and Shawn will trigger my emotions. But please try not to use the painful emotions," I said quietly.

Alex and Shawn nodded.

"What emotion are we gonna try first?" Shawn asked.

"Happiness?" Emaanswered, though it sounded more like a question.

Shawn nodded. "I stocked the whole fridge with Orange Fanta. And I filled the pantry with Hot Cheetos,"

"Seriously? You think soda and chips will trigger her emotions?" I raised an eyebrow at him.

"In my defense, its her favorite soda and her favorite chips," Shawn replied.

I rolled my eyes. "Junk food isn't gonna turn on her emotions."
