Dedicated to

The next morning I woke up to find myself still in the bath tub which was not surprising. I just washed up and got dressed. Today was Sunday thankfully, I just don't know how I'd have handled it if it was Monday.

I went to Evie's room and saw Tess dressing her up. I had completely forgotten Tess was here. Hope she didn't hear us?

"Good morning mommy." she said running to hug me.

"Good morning sweetie. How was your night? " I asked stroking her hair

"It was fun. What about yours? " she asked.

"It was fine." I lied.

"I thought I heard you and Kel arguing?" Tess asked.

"We just had an argument that's all." I replied

"Do you want to talk about it? " Tess asked.

"I'd rather not. " I said sighing.

"OK, whenever you are. I know my brother's a dïck, you'd just have to patient with him sometimes." she advised and I just nodded.

"So I was thinking of taking Evie to my place for the week, is that okay with you? " Tess asked.

"Is that okay with you Evie ?" I asked and she nodded.

"Okay, you can take her then." I approved. It was better this way because she wouldn't have to hear the remaining argument.

I helped pack her bag, Evie and I hugged and they left, I don't know the extent of what Tess heard. I felt so alone when they left and tried curing my misery with food so I went downstairs. Passing by the mini bar there was a mess, broken bottles and glasses. Kel's bow and suit laid on the floor and him, he was a disaster. He was sleeping while holding on to a glass filled with martini next to the glass and bits of broken bottles around his face.

I walked past him and made myself sandwich and coffee. By the time I was done he was still sleeping. Knowing I'd still be the one to clear the mess since the helps weren't coming in I decided to go to work.

I took his suit and bow and placed it on the stool then started sweeping the broken bottles on the floor. Once I was done with that I returned the martini back to the glass collections. While I was removing the glass from his hands he woke up.

"What are you doing here?" he tiredly asked

"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm cleaning the mess you made. " I angrily answered

"I didn't beg you to." he said rolling his eyes.

"We both know you'd still make me do it anyway."

"I'm not going to have an argument with you early this morning."

"It's almost twelve, we can very much have the argument. "

"Why did you do that West?" he tiredly asked

"The question is why would you think or believe I did that? "

"Carlos said you did and he can't just make an accusation against you."

"But I can? So you believe him over me just like that?"

"What am I supposed to do? Believe you? "he sounded so frustrated right now.

"Yes. " I answered exasperatedly

"Give me one reason why I should West. Just one."

"Because I didn't do it, why would I want to rape a man, much less Carlos. He was the one touching me and I only kicked him because I wanted to escape him not because of what he told you." I said calmly.

He looked at me frustrated, probably still trying to figure out who to believe. I don't know why he strongly believed I cheated on him. The bell rang and I went to open the door. It was no one other than Carlos and I slammed the door on his face.

"Who was that? " Kel asked and I replied.

"You bïtch." he said as he opened the door and pulled me by my hair oblivious to Kel's presence.

"I would leave her hair if I were you Carlos. " Kel angrily said.

"Kel?" he asked shocked to see him.

"What do you want in my house Carlos?" Kel angrily asked.

"I just came here to tell you that you should forgive her, don't let me stand in the way of your fake marriage. I know it was a stupid thing for her to do... "

"You have got to be kidding me, you're the one that should be asking for forgiveness. You're the one that tried to rape me yet you're here making me the bad guy. " I angrily said.

"I did no such thing Shayan. Kel has to realise the type of girl he's with and I'm saying the truth, we both know that."

The nerves of the bästard. I threw the glass I happened to still be holding at him and the fact that I missed infuriated me. I went back to the bar and came back with a bottle.

"Put that down West." Kel ordered trying to take it from me.

"She's a crazy àss psycho Kel, can't you see it. She's trying to ruin our friendship by framing me."

"You're such a damn liar." I said throwing the bottle at him and this time it brushed past his arm.

"Calm down West, what's your problem?" Kel angrily asked.

"You, you and your stupid friend that's sprouting nonsense." I shouted

Kel was holding me down now. "Stop acting all crazy West."

"I'm crazy? I'd show you crazy." I said picking up a broken glass.

"Put that down West." Kel ordered

"You say more lies and so help me God I'd stab you with this." I angrily threatened.

"She's crazy Kel, that's how she came at me." Carlos lied

"You son of a..." I was going to throw it at him when Kel took it from me holding me close to him.

"Kel you need to... " Carlos started.

"Get the hell out of my house Carlos. " Kel angrily shouted.

"But Kel she's... "

"Get the fvck out." Kel shouted and he left.

"Let me go Adrios." I angrily said trying to get away from his grip on me.

"You have to understand that you're not going anywhere West, I'm not going to let you."

"Just let me go." I said tiredly and he turned me to face him.

"You're so feisty. I've never seen you like this before. " He said slowly starting at me.

"You've not seen me in a lot of state Adrios." I angrily said.

"I just can't believe... "

"If you have any sense you'd know what to believe." I angrily cut him off not waiting for him to complete his sentence.

"Calm down little vixen, I believe you now." he gently said

"Took you long enough." I angrily said.

"I'm sorry." he said gently.

He apologized? I was shocked.

"For? " I asked curiously.

"Not trusting you, believing Carlos over you..." he listed stroking my hair gently. "I'm sorry."

"I can't just forgive and forget like that. " I calmly said. "I told you all the things he did to me still yet you didn't believe me. Did you know how I felt when he touched me, do you know how disgusting and dirty I felt? You didn't trust me at all Kel, this was attempted rape, what if he had his way, is that what it would have taken you to believe me." I sounded so hurt right now.

"Gosh baby no. I'm sorry, you have no idea what I want to do to him now. I just couldn't believe that he'd do that to you."

"But you thought... "

"I'm sorry, I know how much of a dìck I've been to you." he apologized. He had said sorry three times now and he wasn't one to apologize whether he was at fault or not.

"You've been more than just a dìck. " I said and he sighed wrapping his hands around me pulling me to a hug.

"I'm sorry, I know. I'd work on it. In the meantime you'd just manage me. " he said still stroking my hair.

What's happening? Can I manage him after everything?

"I have to clean this mess and you have to take a bath." I said pushing him away playfully and he laughed.

Gosh, I liked him like this, stroking my hair, holding me tightly, laughing, speaking to me softly, calling me baby.

"I'd go freshen up." he said going upstairs.

I cleaned up the mess then decided to make lunch for him. I was making lunch when I felt his hand around me from behind.

"Kel." I screamed startled.

"Gosh, I've missed hearing you say my name." he confessed burying his face in the crook of my neck.

"Maybe I'd say you name often now." I said and he smiled.

"I'd love that. "

What was I doing now?

"The house seems quiet, where's Evie?" he asked.

"She's with Tess, they'd be together for a while." I replied.

After lunch Kel said he was going out and left.
