"How does that feel baby?"
Tristan asked while massaging his wife Laura's shoulders they were in bed, he was hoping after three months of nothing he would get something tonight.
He pressed his lips against her neck and started kissing it as his hands slide down her nightgown. Laura instantly became stiff as a board and shifted her body away from him.
"Not tonight, she denied Tristan once again as she shook her head then she laid down and pulled the cover over her and turned with her back facing him.
He rubbed his temples out of frustration lately him and his wife been distant lately he feels like she's pulling away from him. He shook his head as he reached over and turned the lamp next to him off and went to sleep facing away from his wife.
Hours later Tristan's phone started to ring he turned over and picked it up
"Hello," he answered rubbing his eye still tired.
"Can you come to pick me up?" I need a ride home a slurred voice said.
It was Candy and she was drunk, He was instantly regretting giving her his number even though he told her it was for emergencies only.
He sat up and thought about it since he was already up he might as well go get some fresh air. I told her sure and asked where was she was in midtown Houston.
He sighed.
"Sure where you at he asked?"
"I.. don't,... Know some club in midtown." she sounded confused.
He rolled his eyes.
"Which one?" he asked annoyed.
There was a silence for a moment
"I'm at Indigo" Candy replied.
" Ok I'll be there in 20mins," Tristan told her.
After he hung up the phone and got up to get dressed Laura turned over to face him
"Where are you going?" she asked tiredly.
"Got to do some stuff for work I'll be back in a bit he said as he got dressed in his white t-shirt, blue jeans, and his black boots.
"Ok, his wife said as she turned back over with her back facing him once again going back to sleep.
He said nothing as he grabbed his keys and took one more glance at his sleeping wife before heading out of the bedroom.
40 minutes later Tristan finally made it to the right club called Indigo he drove his truck pulled up to the front of the club pulling out his phone and texted Candy letting her know he was there. He noticed clubbers giving him funny looks as the passed by his truck.
Candy made her way to his truck barely keeping her balance in her sky scrapper heels as she made her way to the door he reached over and opened the door for her as she climbed inside his big truck.
Tristan was doing his best to not let his eyes wander as he noticed her tight dress that looked like it was painted onto her body along with her long blonde hair Candy reminded him of a Barbie doll. He kept his eyes on the road as he pulled off.
Candy was laying streched out across her bed when she woke up her head was swimming from last night. The last thing she remembered was getting into Tristan's truck.
"Hey, how you feeling? Tristan said as he entered her bedroom.
"Like s**t, " she groaned as she rubbed her temples. For a moment she didn't really let it sink in that Tristan was in her bedroom.
"What are you doing here?" she demanded as Tristan said nothing handing her some water and alkalizer. She narrowed her eyes as she took the water down in one gulp.
Tristan looked at her.
"You need to get ready," he told her.
"For what," she questioned him.
"We need to go up to the prison so you can talk to the investigator about the Alex case."
Candy sat up on the bed.
"Ok give me a couple minutes to wake up," she said.
He nodded then walked out of the room Candy slowly got up took a quick hot shower and since she didn't feel like dressing up but didn't want to fully look like a drunk mess she put on a grey tracksuit set, put her long curly hair into a bun then she soaked her body in Vanilla body spray and put on some shades since her eyes still looked hung over from last night.
Once she was ready and walked out of her room she could smell the scent of food coming from her living room. She noticed Tristan was sitting on the couch.
"You ready to go," he asked then handed her a to-go plate from IHOP.
"You bought breakfast?" She asked.
"Yea, while you were getting ready I went ahead and got it since the drive to the prison, is long and I got to stop by the house to get some order papers I need" he explained.
They headed out the front door got in his truck and rolled out.
As they were heading to Tristan's house. I asked him what happened last night. He told me I was super drunk and I was throwing up a lot so he stayed the night to make sure I was ok.
"What happened last night?" She asked him.
"What do you mean.." He said
"Did we...."
Tristan quickly shook his head.
"No nothing happened you were super drunk and throwing up and I just stayed over to make sure you were ok, Besides I'm a married man." he chuckled.
Candy said nothing as she rolled her eyes she used to hearing that.
They pulled up to his house where he parked in the driveway.
As Candy was about to get out Tristan looked at her nervously and told me I didn't have to come in. I told him I needed to go to the bathroom.
"You don't have to come in I'll be right out he told her.
She looked at him.
"But I need to go to the bathroom."
He couldn't argue with that so he said nothing as she walked passed him and he followed her to the front door took out his key and they went inside.
As she walked in Candy couldn't help but feel like she was walking inside a home magazine.
"Well, the bathroom is over here Tristan instructed Candy as he showed her a door to the bathroom.
While she was in the bathroom Tristan ran upstairs to get the stuff he needed.
Once Candy finished in the bathroom Tristan was walking back downstairs.
They ended up walking into each other in the living room.
"you ready?" he asked her.
"Yea I am, also a nice place by the way," she replied.
He smiled.
"Thanks, he said this was the first time Candy actually seen Tristan smile.
They heard the locks on the front door being unlocked once door open there stood Laura in the doorway narrowing her eyes at both of them.
Tristan was filled with fear one of the reasons he didn't want Candy to come in is because he knows how jealous his wife could get.
Laura was still cutting her eyes at Candy saying nothing so he stepped in.
"Laura honey this is Candy... I mean Carla, Shes the girl in the case I was telling you about he stuttered.
Laura rolled her eyes," Whatever are you going to be working late tonight?" Her eyes glanced over at Candy as she asked him.
"I don't know but we got to head out," he told his wife trying to make an escape before anything crazy happens. Laura walked up to him and gave him a quick kiss making sure Candy got a full view and realized that Tristan was taken.
Tristan had a surprised look on his face as him and Candy walked out of his house got in his truck and pulled off.
"That's your wife?" Candy asked him.
"Yea.." He said dryly.
"So how long you two been married?"
"Three years," he said. His eyes stayed straight on the road making it clear to Candy that he wasn't in the talking mood and the drive was going to be a silent one.
After a long and awkward drive, They finally pulled up to the prison, got out and went inside.
Candy waited at the front waiting area as Tristan went to go turn his papers in when a big and tall black guy was coming in and picking up his things
Damion!, she shouted from the other side of the room he quickly noticed Candy, He ran over to her wrapping her in a big bear hug.
Tears of joy ran down her eyes.
