Broken Lovers

Red's Secret

Dustin watches me intensely as I chug from the bottle, lighting another cigarette. Do I tell him? Do I let him know we are so much more alike than we ever thought we would be?

"Cupcake...Please talk to me? How did you crush her hand so easily? Where was all that hiding at? I didn't know you could do that?"

I look at him and take a deep breath....

"If I say it was adrenaline would you believe me?"

Dustins laughs

"Not one bit Love. What you did in there was not adrenaline, that was training....intense training."

Chugging some more whiskey, I decide to tell him, worst comes to worst I'll just have to kill him.

"Dustin, there once was a time....lets just say you interagated bad guys, I on the other hand was bait to trap and eliminate bad guys."

Dustin looks at me for a very long time; contemplating on what to say. I finish off the whiskey, lighting another cigarette. I'm just waiting for him to say something, kick me out; anything but sit there in silence.

"You ok Ocean Eyes?"

"Yes I'm fine, love. Everything, the last few months; what just happened in there, hell even the day we met-it all makes sense now. I would have never thought in a million years, you would have came from the same work as me."

"Never judge a book by its cover baby."

"Very true Cupcake; very true."

Dustin gets up and takes the empty bottle of booze from me. The sun is setting, and the day has not gone as planned but Dustin wasn't about to give up.

Grabbing my hand

"Come princess, its time we clean you up while I make dinner."

Smiling, I realize theres a different spark in his eyes; and I can only hope its good.

"If you say so Ocean Eyes."

He walks me to the bathroom; opening the door. Seeing the rose petals; I tear up, realizing no one's ever done anything like this for me. He steps close to me after lighting the candles; wiping away my tears.

"Don't cry Princess; it's not a bad thing someone wants to take care of you."

He kisses me passionately, putting me against the wall; every part of me wants him. His hands at my waist, my body trembles at his touch. His hands slide up taking my bikini top off; his hands wrap around my neck, as the kisses get more urgent. I feel his friend down below growing; as his hands travel down my body and stop at my bikini bottoms. His lips travel to my neck; as he drops my bikini bottowm. I open my eyes as he pulls away and looks at my completely naked body; for the first time, I close my eyes afraid my scars will turn him away.

"Open your eyes Princess. I love seeing your eyes."

My breath hitches as I open my eyes.

"Ok Love."

He smiles; kissing me one more time, stepping back he looks at my body again.

"Don't think about closing your eyes Princess."

He looks for a few more minutes..... Takes a deep breath; as a look of pain crosses his face. He kisses my neck, my collar bones; and then proceeds to kiss every scar on my body. As I watch him; I feel my heart beat come in sync with his kisses. I am falling uncontrollably in love with this man; and even though I shouldn't, I want too. I grab his face; bringing him back to me, I kiss him, begging for his love. He turns on the shower and beckons me in.

I give out a little giggle; not wanting him to leave, I pull him into the shower with me.

"Where you going Ocean Eyes?"

"No wheres Love, I'll stay with you forever if you'd let me."

He throws his shorts into the sink, and for the first ime I noticed his scares. Without even realize I was doing it; I ran my fingers across a scar about 3 inches long, and 2 inches wide. I feel his heart race, and his breath hitch.

"The first time I was stabbed...and sadly wasn't on a job. My dad did it."

I run my fingers acrossed another.

"August 9th 2005, 2:35 A.M. the first time I got shot."

This repeated with every scar I touched; until I finally put my hand over his heart.

"That one has been scared by many; but maybe if I give it to you, you'll put it back together and heal it. Please take care of it for me, no one else has before."
