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.

When I was in arm's length, he pulled me into his body. HIs arms wrapped around my waist with his chest pressed against my back. "Is something wrong with your nose?" I blurted, looking at Charlie.

His eyebrows furrowed in confusion, but he slowly nodded his head. "I got hit in the head yesterday. Doc said it affected my nose nerves. But it should heal by tomorrow morning" he informed us.

Jeremy let out a low whistle. "Damn. How the hell do you screw up your nose nerves?" he inquired.

Charlie chuckled, pointing at some spot on his head. "A stupid twig got stabbed into my head. I have no idea how it got in there or how the doc got it out. But they did it and it healed up. The inside just didn't heal yet" he stated.

"You're weird" I said slowly. His lips curved into a frown. "But that just means we'll get along better!" I chirped. "Anyways. There's this girl who you totally ignored. And she's your mate" I told Charlie.
