Pain & Pleasure

                                    

                                          
He smiles. God I used to love that smile so much. "I said I wanted to talk. Can we?"
I scoff. "Shiloh, Maya go over Mayas house while your father and I have a conversation."
"Mom are you sure?"
"Listen to your mother Shiloh." Sam says and Shiloh looks at him with narrowed eyes like me. 
"Go get drunk and dive off a cliff!" He says. 
"Shiloh!" I yell at him but his eyes scream hate for this man he once idolized. "Maya take him." I tell her and she nods and drags him out. 
I hear Sam scoff as the door closes. "No fucking respect. That boy is going to end up in jail or dead."
"Is that a threat?"
He scoffs. "As if Elizabeth. I may not have wanted him but I love him." I roll my eyes. "But seriously Elizabeth we need to talk." 
"About what Sam?! You messed up the opportunity of having your son in your life when you hit him. And you lost all chance of us fixing anything when you decided to cheat and lie to me for years." 
He sighs. "It was an accident and won't happen again. I swear. And I-I want you back. I just want us to be how we used to be Liz. I mean shit we were best friends."
I shake my head. "We were kids. We're adults now Sam. There is no going back after all the mistakes. We just need to let go."
"You don't love me anymore?"
I look at him confused. "Of course I do but-
"But what?" He walks close to me. "I fucked up Liz. So what? I'm human. But you are my wife." He grabs my hand. 
I scuff and snatch it away. "You wanted this to be over Sam. What happened, your skank not want you anymore after finding out your flashy lifestyle was because of me?" A sting on my cheek makes my head shift to the right. What the fuck? 
I look back at Sam and his eyes are wide in realization. "Holy shit Elizabeth. I-I'm so sorry."
"Get out." He tries to reach for me. "Get out!" I yell and he swallows and leaves the house. I stand looking at the empty space he was at and try to wake myself up from this nightmare. Did he hit me? 
Knock knock! I look at the door and then open it. "Hey baby." She says with a smile but it fades the second she sees my face. "I'm gonna kill him."
I grab her hand before she can leave. "Stay. Please." I beg and she nods. We walk in and she looks at the ground. 
"Roses?" I nod. "Can the asshole get anymore cliche."
I grab her face. "Baby calm down. I'm fine."
"You're not fine. He put his hands on your son and then you! He's done!" Fuck me. We walk in the kitchen and she goes to the freezer and gets ice and wraps it in a paper towel. She rests it on my face and holds it. "I'm sorry I didn't get here sooner." She sighs. 
"It's not your fault. He'd probably go even crazier if you were here."
She sighs. "I'm still sorry."
I grab her hand to put it down and look at her. "Where were you?"
She sighs. "I was over my parents house."
I look at her confused. "Baby I thought you said you didn't have a relationship with them."
She nods. I put my hands on her hips and she takes a breath. "They called while I was at work. Well my dad did, my mom was at work apparently. He said they wanted to fix it. But when I got there I was basically kicked out and banished all over again." Kicked out? Banished?
