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.

I settled for glaring as I stomped to my bedroom. I brushed my teeth before heading back downstairs. "This is your fault!" Jesse exclaimed as I walked into the kitchen. I raised an eyebrow at him, not stunned by his dramaticness. "Sam made me throw out the trash 'cause you threw up in it!" he exclaimed.

Sam slapped the back of Jesse's head. "You made her run, so you caused her to throw up. Ergo, you're at fault" Sam corrected him. I grinned, nodding in agreement. "Veronica just woke up, so I'm gonna talk to her" he announced. Jesse and I wished him luck before he disappeared.

"I'm sorry I made you throw up" Jesse apologized.

I shook my head, letting out a small laugh. "I control my legs, not you" He laughed, nodding in agreement. "Hey!" I shouted as Keith came into the kitchen. "It's not nice to tell people they stink!" I huffed.
