Finding True Love

Episode 11

“Look, I’m very tired. I need to rest and I’m not ready for any squabbles. You can see yourself out when you’re ready.” She informed him in no-nonsense terms and moved to her bedroom.

Surprisingly enough, he let her go without further ado and by the time she finished her shower and microwaved some leftovers, he was sound asleep on the couch. Sally stood over him and looked down at him, feeling very frustrated. Whatever feelings she had for him had long died, but he refused to let the relationship end. 

“Well, we’ll see about that.” She thought to herself. She already had her plans in place and he was in for a rude shock if he thought he could just control her life as though he were the owner of it. She slept very soundly that night, despite her anger at Brian. However, at four in the morning, she was rudely woken up from her sound sleep by the same Brian.

“What the hell?” She began groggily, struggling to awaken fully. She had been enjoying her sleep so much that it was all she could do to open her eyes. Brian had found his way into her bed and his hands were all over her. He obviously intended to have s*x with her.

“What on earth do you think you’re doing?” Sally asked incredulously, the grogginess disappearing from her face as though it had never been there immediately she understood what he intended to do. She shoved him off her immediately and got up from the bed. Brian got up too and they stood looking at each other warily.

“You mean you’re going to deny me s*x on top of everything else?” He asked, equally incredulous. His breath was rancid, making her stomach churn, so she turned her head away from it. The smell of alcohol mixed with morning breath was not pleasant at all.

“Ok. You need to get something straight here. This is my body, and I’ll decide if I want to have s*x with you or not. I’m not going to have s*x with you now, or ever again. You need to leave me alone. I’m serious about breaking up with you because I’m no longer interested in this relationship. The only reason you’re still here is because you were drunk off your ass last night and I did not want you driving in that state and risking killing innocent people.” Sally told him without pausing for breath.

“Whew! That was quite a speech!” She thought to herself. It sounded very effective, too. If she were Brian, she was sure that she would have taken the hint. Brian’s eyes darkened and he narrowed them, looking for all the world like a petulant child. He did not look like he was taking the hint or anything of the sort and his next words confirmed it.

“I’m your damn boyfriend and I’ll have s*x with you if I want to do so.” He said and in one swift movement, tore off her lacy nightgown, revealing her bare breasts and the black panties that she wore underneath it. He grabbed her right breast roughly in his hand and dragged her to fall in a heap with him unto the bed. Sally could not believe her eyes. In great repulsion, she pushed him off her for the third time that evening, this time with an animal strength that she hadn’t known she possessed, causing him to land in an undignified heap on the floor.

Brian got up from the floor with the speed of lightning and delivered a resounding slap to her face, one that caused her head to snap back with the force of it. She remained sitting on the floor, and stared up at him, not entirely surprised. In a way, she had always known that the day he would hit her would come and as far as she was concerned, she was entirely to blame. After all, she had witnessed him beat a woman to a pulp when he was the one who was wrong, but had still stayed with him because she was tired of being alone and because he was always begging. Well, it all served her right.

“Get out of my house this minute. I don’t ever want to see you in my life again.” She whispered, her eyes tearing up.

“It’s all your fault. You keep antagonizing me. I’m sorry for slapping you. I didn’t mean to do it.”

“You shouldn’t have torn my nightgown and tried to have s*x with me when I didn’t want to do so. Look, just leave me alone.” She replied him, wearily. All she wanted was for him to leave her alone for good. At this point, she was ready to get the police involved if that was what it would take to get Brian to leave her alone.

To her utter surprise, he began touching her lap again and she quickly remembered that she was wearing only panties now. So she went to look for another nightie to put it on. Brian followed her around like a lost and sorrowful puppy, but when he opened his mouth, his words were as vile as ever to Sally.

“You’re not going to get rid of me so easily. You know nobody is ever going to love you the way I do. And I know for a fact that you love me very much. You’re only playing hard to get. Why you would do this, I can’t understand. I already apologized about that girl you caught me with. It’s never going to happen again. We’re meant to be together.” He said, watching her every move with eyes that seemed beady to her. She could see that his erection was straining his boxer. He was obviously thinking that there was going to be makeup s*x or something like that. Exasperated and more than a little disgusted, Sally shrugged into her blue pajamas and turned to face him.

“You need to leave. I already told you that the only reason I allowed you stay was because you were drunk off your ass and were in no state to drive. Although that shouldn’t be my problem seeing as you broke into my house without my permission. You should be thankful that I’m not having you arrested.” She told him firmly.

Brian left after making some more excuses and she sighed in relief. Soon, she decided, she would not have to put up with his s**t any longer. For some time now, even before he started misbehaving, she had been toying with the idea of relocating to another city entirely, one which was far away from here. Thankfully, she had not told him anything about it since she knew he would object. If she had had any doubts as to leaving this town and making a fresh start elsewhere, they had all been laid to rest. Before now, she had planned on telling Brian that she was leaving, but with the way he was behaving, she was not sure she will do that anymore.
