6 - TRUCE
Huling Na-update:
2025-01-11 04:19:11It was a short kiss, but my belly tingled. His lips were as soft as the cloud and it ignited me. I was surprised, but now there was something else.
“Cheryl – who’s this?” Marty’s voice came through, his face now puzzled and contorted in confusion.
“Aiden Scott, I don’t think we’ve met” Aiden said instead with a steady smile and offering his hands for a handshake which Marty did not take by the way. “Cheryl’s my girlfriend”
I nearly choked on my spit, but I managed to keep my cool but only because I was enjoying the look on Marty’s face.
“That’s not possible, she’s married to me”
“Not anymore as I presume” Aiden said “Last I checked, you starred in a truckload of p**n movies, nobody wants to stay married to that”
I chuckled silently.
“Cheryl is this true?” Marty looked at me now, the panic and anger in his eyes brought instant satisfaction to my stomach and I wanted nothing more than to strike him further, I wanted him to feel a portion of what he put me through, stumbling on those videos – it was etched in my brain forever.
“Yes, he’s my boyfriend” I said back
“Really, he seems way too out of your league if you ask me” he intended to hurt me but Aiden fired back before I had a chance to speak.
“Well no one asked you and if you don’t mind, I’m going to ask you to leave and never show your face around here again”
There was a cold hard stare between the two of them before he flickered my own share of his hate and then he left, I waited until he was out of sight before I withdrew my hands from Aiden and I looked at him.
“I didn’t need your help” I said, I turned to storm into the house while he was right behind me.
“Yea right, he called you a big dull dud, there was no coming back from that”
“Do you think that? That I am one big dull dud? I mean of course you did, you bullied me for years because of it”
“Okay look Cheryl, I know just apologizing is not going to cut it but it’s been years ago. I’m no longer that kid that got his high from being popular and bullying people. I’ve been through life, I’ve seen life to get to where I am today. I’m a different person now and you have to at least give me that chance
He held my gaze for a second, as if sensing my falter “no you’re not a big dull dud – you just don’t let the fire out”
“Well I don’t think someone is called a big dull dud because they’re full of fire – there is no fire to let out” I said
“Everybody has a fire, they just need the right person to bring it out or the right situation”
“Can I ask you something?” he said again and I nodded my head
“Whatever happened with your painting, you really liked that stuff”
I gave him a look of surprise “How did you know about that?”
I loved painting in high school and since I was the only who mostly painted, the art room was all mine and that was where I hid most times if I wanted to be alone with my clothes and face smeared with paint all the time.
“You were the one kid from our school that won the Art Grant scholarship – what happened with all of that”
I stayed silent for a while, pushing the resurfacing memories back down but it was too late, they were brimming to the surface, forcing to be let out.
“Well mom fell sick, my father had run off with another woman and I felt guilty having to leave her. She died two weeks after I declined the offer of the scholarship and by then it was too late, they had picked that pink faced girl that always wore her hair in pig tails”
“Damn”
“Sometimes I wondered if I took the scholarship anyways or maybe if she died earlier, it was a fucked up thing to think – “
“Trust me I get it” Aiden said over me, his gaze meeting mine tenderly and I decided to hold it, it was the closest thing I have to had to empathy in a long time “You know after my parents divorced, I had to move with my dad some place else, somewhere on a farm. My father hated me but he was stuck with me and my mom couldn’t get custody because well she didn’t have a job. He beat me half the time until I found the courage to run away and I’ve been my own man ever since”
“And you came back to your childhood town because?”
“I needed to find my mother” he said “I didn’t set my eyes on her since after the divorce, no calls, no text, not even a damn letter, it was like she fell off the face of the earth so I moved back her you know, just in case I could get some answers”
“Any luck so far?”
He shook his head, as he took out two beers from the fridge and handed me one “Well the most I’ve gotten was that she struggled with a drug addiction, lived on the street for a while and then nobody ever saw her again”
“That’s – ”
“Crazy I know” he completed for me as I corked my beer open
“So truce?” he said, with a smile
“Truce” I smiled back.

The Roomie Complex 7 - DAMON BASS
CHERYL’S POVThe next morning I woke up with a slight headache after I had nearly stayed up the whole night drinking beer with Aiden and suddenly I didn’t hate him anymore, the kiss somehow had cushioned the rippling hatred I had felt towards him. It didn’t feel like the air had been sucked from lungs anytime I was in the same room with him and all the memories of the pranks he pulled at me in school weren’t rushing to my head to knock me off my feet. The kiss had definitely played a big factor in my shift of feelings towards Aiden, it replayed in my mind a dozen times since my eyes popped open, the softness of his lips, plump and pink met with the awkwardness, unsuspecting lips of mine. It had definitely caught me off guard, knocked the wind out of the air that it felt stuffy outside. I didn’t expect the raspberry taste of his mouth, I would have expected something more pepper minty, whiskey like or coffee even but not something so sweet – so delicious that I wanted more – I wanted

The moment Damon Bass locked eyes with me from across the bar, I felt the air shift. Not the fun, flirty kind of shift you get when someone cute notices you. No, this was the kind that makes your stomach flip like you’ve swallowed a live fish. Naturally, I did the only logical thing: I spun around so fast I might have given myself whiplash and stared at Aiden, desperate for a distraction.Aiden, of course, noticed. He noticed everything. His eyes narrowed slightly, his lips curving into a knowing smirk as he leaned back against his chair. "You like him, huh?"I scoffed so hard I nearly inhaled my drink. "No, I don’t. I think he’s a client from work. Not just a regular, though. A VIP. And he’s… odd.""Odd?" Aiden tilted his head, feigning interest."Yes. Odd. Like… mysterious. You know, the kind of odd that’s unsettling and fascinating at the same time." I was rambling. Of course I was rambling. "And I might have shaken his hand when he was just asking for his ID back, which was awkwar

“Do you know Cheryl – “ my boss, Mr. Thompson pulled me by the arm to the corner, a small glass of tequila latched to his hand like a baby holding a thumb, he had that glassy look in his eyes, the kind where I knew he was drunk and I knew what was coming next.“Do you know the only way you can keep your job is if you get on your knees and give me a blowjob” he paused, I paused, we stared at each other for a whole minute before he burst into laughter and I echoed with my own awkward laughter – this had better be some sick joke.“Wouldn’t that be scandalous Mr. Thompson?” I turned to leave, thinking I could easily slip away and speed walk back to my office which was just down the hall but he grabbed my arms again, tighter this time and pulling me towards him, I repulsed. Mr. Thompson was a man a beer gut, protruding out and nearly cutting out some of his buttons, he was balding and smelled like he smoked cigarettes twenty hours of the day.“I’m serious Cher – “ he pulled harder and I ya

Roommate needed: Male or female, doesn’t smoke, tidy, can cook tasty meals is a plus, minds their business – I scoffed at the roommate ad, is he looking for a roommate or does he want a maid? I folded the paper into my bag as I walked into the bank to clear out all the money from me and Marty’s joint account, ten thousand dollars, it was nothing much but it was enough to get me started on a new life.It was a week after, and I hadn’t set my eyes on Marty since I found those videos on his laptop. Immediately, I packed all my stuff and moved them out of the house before he returned home. I left the laptop on the bed, playing that one video with him going down on another woman and then I sent him a text. “I saw the videos – I’m done Marty. I want a divorce” Then I blocked him because I knew he was going to try and call and I didn’t want to speak to me. I didn’t want him to try and charm me with his words, look into my eyes with those big brown orbs of his and draw me back into his arm

“Hello Tiny” I heard the voice before I saw the face and it felt like I had been transported back in time, to where I was still in high school, and this voice taunted me all through. I paused, stepping back a little and I saw his face – I took a sharp intake of breath. It was him quite alright – Aiden Scott.“What – what are you doing here?” my voice came out squeakier than I intended it to be and I cleared my throat.“It’s my house silly – turns out you’re my roommate” he flashed a smile and I felt my stomach churn. He stretched upwards to retrieve the pots and placed them in the sink “I shouldn’t have kept them so far away – anyways what are you making cus I’m starving tiny”I couldn’t breathe – I placed a hand over my chest and my heart beat felt off the charts. It was him – and he hadn’t changed at all. He still had the sharp jaw with his reckless blue eyes, I could still feel his wicked charm ricocheting off him and he still had the face that looked like it was carved specially b

I had already downed my second glass when I began to fill the floozy effects of the bitter booze. Don’t get me wrong, I had gotten drunk or more likely tipsy, a few cans of beer, few glasses of wine but never the vodka and tequila kind, I always liked to keep it clean and a bit classy.But this was a different kind of drunk, I could feel the room spinning around and my tongue felt kind of loose, kind of sour and although it wasn’t a feeling I hated yet, it was different.I flashed my attention back to the group as they bickered on and on, and I tried to blend in, bob my head to the beat of the music in the background, nod my head to my conversations and maybe chuckled every bit now and then. I thought I was getting away with it until I heard Anika call my name.“That reminds me Cheryl, you got married didn’t you, you made this big fuss about it on social media” then I saw her eyes flicker to my finger where I had gotten rid of the ring, and my fingers lay empty.“What happened?” she a

Soft rays of sunlight streamed lazily through the window and just as I tried to sit up that was when I felt it – a sharp zing slicing through my head, I fell back to the bed immediately. I shut my eyes to ease off the pressure and then it slowly started coming back to me.The previous night.‘Teach me’ I remembered saying to Aiden before I had puked all over his shoes.“Fuck!” I groaned internally. We had been roommates for barely twenty four hours and I had already embarrassed myself and puked on him. This is the reason I get bullied – I was always so clumsy and stupid. Well it was going to be okay, all I needed to do now was to avoid him at least just until I got a new place and then I would never have to see him again.I stood up gently from the bed, putting some slippers on and I walked quietly out of the room.
