The Affair Revenge

Chapter 19

Eve

"You do?" I said. "I do Eve. I know, its crazy but I really do like you." He said. I didn’t know how to respond after that. He took me by surprise with his words. I didn’t think anyone would like me.“Dom, I’m married.” Trying to get him to look up.“I know Eve, and it bugs me at how I develop these feels for you so quick.” Grabbing his hands to his pants. “Dom..” I grab his hand to stop him. And I finally got him to look up at me. “I know Eve. But you just told me about his affair and I with the feeling that I had when we first met makes more sense to me now. I just need you to know that if one day if it doesn’t work out, I’ll be here. Friends or more.” He grabbed my cheeks as he stared into my eyes.It was true. As I walked around the park I went on to tell him about Mark and Cami. He was very supportive. He didn’t try to make me feel bad or give me advice. Dom was simply, there. He was being a friend in need.

That's the feeling I been having since we met. I need a true friends, maybe more. I know what Dom is about to express to me. And I’m starting to feel the same. But I don’t want to be like Mark. I can’t just start something with another person when I’m still legally involved with another. I know most people wouldn’t understand my feelings right now. They would just say I’m naive and vulnerable. But I’m not. Yes, I might be going through a tough thing right now. But the feeling that starts to build up when I’m with Dom is true. I just didn’t want to look stupid again. Mark had already done that to me. But now that Dom admits his feelings, maybe I should too?

You should just tell him how you feel.

Run away with him. Mark will never find us. He has Cami, and we can have Dom!

No!

Think about it. Mark will never let us free. He has problems and we can’t stay with him. Who knows when he will start taking his anger out on us? It’s getting worse every fight.

I can’t just run. I’ll do it right. I’ll just have to find more proof to show Mark about his affair. Make him come clean. That way we can file for divorce and we can start clean. Maybe with Dom.

Don’t wait too long. Mark has a real temper when we accuse him of anything.

I know, at least I know I have Dom on my side if he starts anything.

* rain drops slowly falling*

“Dom, I feel the same…” Grabbing his hands.“Don’t play with me Eve. I can’t take another heart ace.” he said. "I'm serious Dom. I know its wrong and I shouldn't. But I have this feeling inside were I just want to stay by your side andmaybe.. you know.' Dom looks at me, making me blush. "I just feel the same way, Dom." I added. That shine poked out from his stare and I melted into his arms.“Ahh Dom, I have to figure this out about my marriage first.” Ohh my god his warmth, even at the feeling of the cold rain on us, he feels so warm.“Eve, I wouldn’t want you to do anything to effort your marriage. If you wanna fight for Mark, then fight. If you don’t then I’m here. But I will understand if you want to stay friends.” Brushing my hair with his hand.“Dom its...” He puts his finger over my lips to shut me up. “Don’t say anything Eve, let me get this all out.” Slowing pulling his thumb off my lips making it pop.All I did is nod at him. Allowing him to express himself, as rain drops slowly on us.“I know everything is too soon. And, when I first saw you, it was like a pull. I felt you before I saw you. You were beautiful. And when I saw your face, it was sadness read all over it. That's why I went up to you.” Holding my hands to his as he looked at them.

“And when you spoke and brushed against me I knew it. You were special and I wanted to keep talking and see you again. I didn’t think you'd ever come back. So I told myself that day. Let her go. If she comes back, it's meant to be. If not, then she wasn’t for me. And that is what I told myself even after my broke up.” Dom looked up and took my cheeks into his hand. “I want to know everything about you. I want to be in your life no matter what. I want to breathe the same air as you. I hope you don’t see me as a weirdo.” He took his hand away. His mind probably told him his feelings are wrong.

I grab his hands and placed it back on my cheeks. Letting him know to not let go. To continue with his words. “Eve, I want something more with you. I just want to take you into my arms and never let go. But I don’t want to over step my boundaries. I know you are already going through something hard and I don’t want to add on. So I stand for just friends until you see me as more. Whenever you are ready, I am here.” Looking at my eyes with so many feelings. It all just came out into the open. I felt all the warmth spark at the time. His touch felt like home. I felt safe at just his touch. I see it in his eyes and he talks to me.I wanted to lend into him but I stopped myself. Knowing if I give in, I may just kiss him. But I can’t if I’m still married. It wouldn’t truly feel right. “I guess baby steps is all I’m asking for. With my marriage and with us.” I felt broken at my own words.“ Eve, I will always be here. “ Dom lend in.I hate myself for everything that happened today. I f*** up two friendships.

“Dom..” I lend in with him as I felt the rain getting harder and colder.Dom placed his forehead on to mine and we stayed there for just a bit. Trying to inhale everything. His embrace is warm. I don’t want us to move. I just wanted to stay right here, with him. Our eyes were closed the whole time. We were so intune with the moment we didn’t even realize how hard it was raining on us. “Eve. We have to leave.” Opening my eyes at the sound of his voice.“Just one more minute.” Dom placed his hand on my cheeks and kissed my forehead. I just felt all the tingly warmth feeling run through me. And I lend in to him, placing my head on his chest. And he wrapped his arms around me. Today f***ing sucks!This feels so nice. I don’t feel cold at all.

I felt him lay his head on to back as his was taller than me. And felt his embrace get tighter. We inhale each other as if its was outer last. I hope it is not our last. Just the beginning.“Come on lets go.” He grabs my hand and we walk off to turn the lights and power off. After that, we went to the gate and Dom unlock and locked it up again. Taking my hand into hi,s the hold time. Dom opened my door to the car for me and I got in without looking at him. Dom did the same as he got into the driver's side. Then we just drove back to the bar. We sat in silence until we got there. I guess we both said a bunch tonight. Just wanting to keep this moment in one piece. When Dom parked up next to my car and walked out to open my door. I just stared at him wanting to say something, but I just begged inside my head, screaming for him to just kiss me and take me aways.

I don’t care about Mark or Cami anymore. Now that I know, Dom feels the same. I just want to feel that thing from him. I want to feel everything. Happiness again. Love from the right person this time. “One step at a time Eve.” He let his hand out to me.I took his hand and got out of the car. “Thank you again Dom. Tonight was great with you.”I said. “I’m happy to have had this moment with you.” And again he gave me a light feather kiss on the head. I smile at Dom, as my cheeks get red at his touch. I unlocked my car door as my hands are no longer noodles. I got in and turned on the car and without looking back at Dom. I just drove off and out the parking lot.

What was that Eve?

I don’t know. I just need to figure out this feeling i was having. Every since we had met I had this odd trusting feeling. Like he's like one. But I don’t think I’m ready to let him in fully. I don’t want to hurt him if I hurt from another.

Well, he said he will wait. I’ll take his friendship for now.

And that's what we will do. And just then maybe we will be ready to start over again.

We do it right this time. We need to find ourselves again Eve.

“Just one step at a time.” Speaking out loud to myself. As the words try to sooth me , I didn’t have it with Mark. This feeling I have found with Dom. I didn’t feel anything as close to Mark. This was something new.

We were young. Mark tricked us from the beginning. I warn you something was up.

I know you did, but I was falling in love and I didn’t want to hear all the negative things from everyone saying, young love from a pretty face doesn’t last. And his true act will show up to stage one day.

And now it has.

*letting a deep sigh out*

We were too young for love back then.

I know we were. His touch gave me comfort and i never had that with Mark. I mean I felt safe, of course, but not like that. Everything with Dom was different. It was like hyper speed and dejí vu. Like maybe in a didn’t time, in another life, we we’re together. And everything before we met was just meant to happen so we can met again. It was vaguely familiar, the second I looked into Dom’s eyes I saw it all. The hurt, the growth, the warmth, and will. And with everything he had to say at the park, I knew it came from his heart. And I felt very similar to his emotions. I just didn’t have the words to say it.

What are we gonna do?

I guess give it time. For everyone to get their heads clear.

Cami just needs to see where I’m coming from and maybe time will let her rage pass over and i can speak to her this time.She can tell me the lies Mark spoke of. Then from there we see.

And what about Dom?

Dom..? Well, he said he would wait. I guess at this moment I need him as a friend. That will show me a part of him. It will show me his true self and we can work from there.

Alright, i’m in. I’ll help this time.

Thank you for once.

Just need you to grow some balls and kick some masculinity!

Okay.

I drove down this dark country road and I shook my head to get a more clear view.I turned the music up and the song “The devil does bargain.” Starts to play.I don’t what it is, but it's like the music click something inside my heart.My mind started to run through all my memories. It was like a movie play rewind to show the decline I have grown. I used to be a completely different person when I had met Mark. I don’t know what happened. I became this pathetic of a girl who does whatever her husband says. Just the snap of his fingers.Shoke my head at the boil. An angry built inside. “How could I let him do this to me!” Grabbing the wheel hard

Don’t beat yourself up, we both were young. We didn’t know better.

We should of.. Everything was good and now what?!

Hey relax. We will get to him. Just don’t let him get to you.

You don’t get it.. i was strong and brave and did what I wanted. Not what some guy wanted.!!

We will come out of this. Just one step at a time, right.

I just ignore my brain as i listen to the song playing on the radio.My mind keeps flashing every mistake I had with Mark. I was so dumb what f*** was wrong with me? I would of beat the h*** out of a girl like me! I didn’t notice tears filling my eyes until I rub them away. And that just made me even more mad. I wasn’t this girl who cried over little stuff and now I’m crying over not just a guy. But my unfaithful of a b****** of a husband.“AAAAARRRHHGGGGHH!”And like that the dark country road was gone. I didn’t see the rain blocking my view any more. I didn’t even see my headlights either. It was dark for seconds. And at that same time I felt my body trumbull with rage.“F*** You Mark!!” Grabbing my wheel even tighter.

*loud honk*

My radio was silence now. My body was now cold. I couldn’t move. Everything was dark after that loud crashing sound. Right before my last moment of light was a blinding star coming towards me. What was it? My head, my arm, my leg, D*** my whole body is in pain.Why, can’t hear anything, not even my annoying brain spoke. She usually would say some annoying s*** by now. “Something is wrong, what happened?”
