  “I’m so sorry about Bradley”, silently looking down, “Please say something”. “I have nothing to say to you”.

  Walking away and running up to him, grabs hold of his arm, “Aw, better turn loose girl, been known to turn into a real monster”.

  Letting go said, “Bradley called you that”.

  “It’s true”.

  “No, don’t say that”.

  “What do you want girl, a second chance”.

  “To bad”, walking away and walking out of the house, pausing, saw Pam and Stacey asked, “What are you doing?”

  “Tried to make a mends with Sebastian”.

  “No luck, huh?”

  “Nope, I was hoping to get another chance he’s pretty cool”.

  “It turns me on actually”.

  “Well go for it”.

  “The shorts I ripped”.

  “Put your money away Sebastian”, nodding asked, “Sure, I did rip um”. “Yes, this basket is heavy”.

  “No problem”, walking up the stairs passing by her grabbing hold of his arm, “Mind letting go Ella”.

  “I never will and don’t believe you have either Sebastian”.

  Hung his head and noticing a frown asked, “I’m right, huh?”

  Jerks away walked up the steps, hears, “I love you Sebastian!”

  Leans against the wall, mumbling, “Its over Ella, I must let go, you hurt me bad”. In the laundry room, stood sorting through clothes and walking in held towels said, “Oh, forgot, it’s your work out day”.

  “Nah not today”, when Betsy walks in asking, “Ready doll”.

  Gripping the towel, looks at Seth staring back and going up by Ella says, “Hi, I don’t believe we been properly introduced, I’m Betsy”.

  “Nice to meet you Betsy, got a great man there”, becomes teary eyed, Betsy replied, “I know cute to, right”.

  “Aw, ready Betsy?” Tucking hand into black blue jean pockets, “Sure Seth”, putting the towels into the machine said, “Bye Betsy nice to finally meet the girl that stole Seth’s heart”.

  “How sweet did I Seth?”

  “Guess ya did, huh”, glanced at Ella says, “Bye Seth”. Turns around fast, long curls swung asking, “What?”

  “I told you goodbye”.

  “I know, it’s how you said it”. Leans in her face.

  Swung hand on hip, “Ah, am I missing something here?” Noticed the deep stare. Between Ella and Seth, grabs her hand saying, “Let’s go Betsy”, pulled away asking, “Did you two date or something, I’m getting weird vibes here”.

  Teary eyed, “No, never had a date, right Seth?”

  Upset, “What about the zoo Ella”, threw a towel at him, “That was not a date, everyone went to”.

  Hanging his head of locks and Betsy noticing says, “Oh there’s something going on, better talk Seth”.

  “I don’t know where to begin”, folding arms, jerking head said, “Better start I’m getting pissed”, mumbled, “What chick don’t get ticked”.

  “What was that”.

  “Nothing, I made reservations” and eyes large asked, “Oh really, where you two lovebirds going?”

  Rolled hidden eyes, says, “Would you just stop Ella”.

  Hand up, said, “Just curious”.

  “No you’re not, you are trying to ruin this, right, paybacks”.

  Finger pointing close in his face saying, “Sebastian won’t ever forgive, because of you”. Puzzled look, hands on hips says, “I’m very confused here, and pissed off”. “All right here is the truth”, Betsy folds her arms and Ella tapping foot on the floor, taking a deep breath, “Oh I can’t do this”, shaking his head.

  Points her finger in Seth’s face and said, “You better or dates off”, mumbled, “Will be once I tell you”.

  “Speak up Seth”.

  “Ella and I were best friends” and huffing, “Were, thanks a lot Seth”. Holding a towel against her face tears rolling and noticing hand up added, “Okay more than friends”.

  Looking at him swinging fingers side-to-side, saying, “Isn’t she married to your brother?”

  Head down quietly replies, “Yeah”.

  Gasped, “You were more?”

  “Yeah, lovers, many years”.

  Mouth drops open wide, silence, and looking at them upset Betsy said, “Oh my twisted”. “Well now you know Betsy”, tapping her foot on the floor, says, “I sure do, you’re a disgusting pig”, slapped him across the face mumbled, “Third strike from women”. Ella’s eyes huge and Betsy looking at her asked, “You still have feelings for Seth?” Looks at Ella, said, “Ah, I’m not getting involved”.

  “You already are honey”. Walks close to Ella, backing up saying, “There is nothing going on anymore”.

  “I better never find out there is, I’ll rip your hair out, got it”, pushed Ella into the chest going back against the dryer and moving forwards said, “Stop Betsy”, turns around huffs out, “Oh defending her?”

  “Well yeah, she’s the mother of, oops, nothing”. Hand covered mouth.

  “What was that?” Swung hand on hip.

  Hand over face, Ella mumbles, “Blabber mouth”.

  Got in Seth’s face saying, “You have a kid with your brother’s wife how insane”. “Betsy it’s not what you must think”.

  “Shut up dumb whore”, gasping and hanging his head says, “This is bad”, and only got worse.

  Betsy swung one mighty punch, Ella fell to the floor with Seth pulling her off swinging on Ella screaming, and running in one eye big, “What the heck”, saw Ella on the floor. Runs over shoves Betsy back, knelt down asking, “Ella you okay?’

  “Yes Sebastian”, helping her up, and held her.

  Waving hand angry and shocked, Betsy says, “Oh this is sick”, snarls, asking, “What is this chick talking about Seth?”

  “Don’t go there”.

  “Running her mouth about shit she don’t know”, growls escorting Ella out yelling, “ENJOY YOUR DATE SETH!” Betsy never spoke one word back to Sebastian and actually got scared.

  Few minutes later sitting on a chair in Sebastian’s apartment, he places the ice pack against her face, reaches up touched his hand says, “Thank you”.

  “Keep that on your eye”. Reaches in the refri
gerator grabs out a bottled water, “Okay”, hanging her head and leaning against the sink set the bottle onto the counter, burly arms folded asked, “Sure you’re okay?”

  Noticing pouting asks, “What Ella?”

  “I miss your touch”. Took a big gulp from the bottled water said, “Stop Ella, I cannot”. “I don’t understand, you almost did”.

  “Ah, but didn’t go all the way, huh” and got up from the chair went close to him hand rubs his broad chest says, “It’s been a year without you, don’t you miss it”. Staring asked, “Miss what Ella?”

  “Me, sex?”

  “Very much”.

  “Touch me Sebastian”, breathing heavy and rubbing his chest says, “Please just once let go of all that anger Sebastian”, leans forward, slants, tilting head towards Ella leaning forward, lips softly touch.

  Banging on the door walking over, opened the door looking at Seth standing there said, “Well thanks Ella, she broke it off calling me a weirdo”.

  Snarl, “Paybacks”.

  “What Sebastian?” Got close in his face replied, “I’m glad Seth, hope it hurts like hell”. “Shut up” and pointing says, “Nah you shut the hell up”, pushing started rushing over squeezing between said, “Stop don’t do this, there’s been enough hurt okay”. Silent and in the middle Ella said, “Just go Seth”, smirks said, “Aw, back in the arms of your true love huh”. “Stop Seth”.

  Punched directly in the face, crumbles on the hallway floor standing above him growls out, “She’ll never be in my arms again, because you fucking her, ruined it”. Knelt down to Seth asking, “You okay”, and hands against head says, “Oh man, seriously Ella”.

  “You didn’t have to hit him”. Sat up, wipes blood off busted lip.

  “Right, choosing him again”, punched the wall and shivers said, “I’m not, what do you want me to do”.

  Bangs on his chest roaring out, “LOVE ONLY ME!”

  “Impossible, I’m so torn”.

  “I’m really done now, don’t ever speak to me Ella”.

  “Sebastian please”, bends down got in her and Seth’s face said, “Fuck you both”, went into the apartment slamming the door rattled walls.

  Standing up brushing his jeans off said, “I cared for Betsy”.

  “Nice to know”.

  “This is no way to live Ella, never should have been”, walking away and leaning against the wall tears rolling, slid back down onto the floor, saying, “How did everything become this bad, it’s time to just say goodbye to them both, won’t be easy, they been my life”.

  One month pass, Seth tried to make a mends with Betsy that refused, stood in the kitchen holding the receiver to the phone saying, “Aw, thanks Ella you blew it for me”. Walking in the kitchen saw her father holding the receiver staring off into space and asked, “Betsy hang up on you daddy?”

  Hung up the phone replied, “Sure did”. Walking through the apartment, waved hand saying, “Aw I don’t care”, and giggling out, “Yeah, sure daddy”, picking up the box of cereal.

  Two hours later at the beauty salon, walking in holding roses, beautician’s eyes big watching Seth go up to the counter, one young woman remarked, “I’ll take that customer”, fanning herself, another woman remarked, “Wow, he’s hot, right?” “Yes”, when walking out of the back room eyes huge, paused another woman asked, “Betsy you okay”.

  “Not at this moment”. Saw Seth wave.

  “Why not honey?” Cutting a female customers hair.

  Points towards the front of the salon says, “That’s Seth”.

  “Why is he here”.

  “To see you, just go find out or I will”, giggling, waving her hand, “Hush y’all at like you never saw a man before”.

  “Not like that”. Reaching for the hairdryer.

  “Yeah, where’s he been hiding all my life”. Women laughing glancing at Seth noticed Betsy.

  Walking up to the counter coming towards him slight smile, held the roses out, “What do you want Seth?”

  “Another chance to make things right”, reaching the flowers out to her, took the roses smelled them and asking, “What do you say Betsy, am I forgiven?”

  Two hours later, walking into apartment four wearing her karate uniform walking through the apartment saw clothing scattered on the floor eyes become large. Noticed her father’s door shut, mumbled, “Yuck”, when door opens eyes nearly popped out Betsy held the sheet up against her waved, “Hi Sammy” hears “Aw Sammy’s home”. “Hi daddy”, rushed up behind Betsy wearing only gray jogging pants, “Hey angel”. “Gee daddy, guess you got Betsy to talk to you and much more”.

  “What, huh”, hidden eyes huge and smiling Samantha turned to walk away, arm flashing in front of Betsy’s face, “Aw don’t talk like that”, walking down the hall giggling, “I already know about these things daddy”. Standing in the hallway asking, “You do?”

  Looked at Betsy and said, “Not good”.

  “Oh calm down honey”, touching his face, smirking says, “So guess I’m forgiven.” “Ah, maybe”.

  “What, maybe?”

  “Few more times like today, kissing my ass, I will forgive you”, pulled her back into the room door shuts.

  A few minutes later, walked out dressed, hands on Betsy waist remarked, “Such a nice ass to”.

  “You checking me out?”

  Laughs out, “Yeah and sure liking”.

  “You do?”

  Swiftly spun her around, hands on her waist asked, “How about dinner?” “Sounds good, keep this going I might just have to forgive you”.

  “Aw you better Betsy”, laughing.

  Turns to sighs, Seth kissing her neck and running fingers through curls says, “Oh yes just keep trying to make me forgive you”.

  Bit her neck, jokingly and added, “Ooh rough, getting close Seth”.

  Laughed, “Oh no, don’t stop”, dipping her down licking her neck sighs turns to moaning out, “Ooh, la-la, you are good honey”.

  Swung her back up, snug against him said, “I should forgive you”.

  “Really?”

  “Yes, you’re a nice guy Seth”.

  “So I’m forgiven yes, but I still want times like this”.

  “Aw, there will be many Betsy”, joined lips kissing deeply and walking past mumbles, “Still at it”. Rolled eyes.

  “Ah hey Sammy”, hand up, replies, “Hey daddy”, walking away.

  “I need to get going Seth”.

  “Well dinner later”, touching his face replied, “Dinner, dessert, sounds good”. “Great it’s a date”.

  “Ah when I say dessert, I don’t mean brownies”, winks at Seth shook his mop of curls, “Aw I get it”.

  “Bye honey”, walks away asked, “Watching”.

  “Always”, smirking.

  Betsy left and walking into the living room sitting on the sofa, Samantha flipping through stations on the television and sat down said, “Hey Sammy”.

  “Yeah daddy”.

  “Maybe we should talk about certain things, you are ten”.

  “No need daddy”, and jittery asked, “Why not?” Dark hidden eyes big. “No worries”.

  “Well, I’m gonna worry about those things”.

  “What things?”

  Dog jumps up on the sofa next to Samantha licks her face giggling.

  Smiling said, “What happens between two people Sammy”, swung hand up, “Please stop don’t daddy, talking these things with a dad is awkward”.

  Fiddling with his long piano fingers replies, “Sure Is”.

  Petting Scooter said, “I have Nana”, eyes big said, “Maybe one of the others, Charlene Jennifer”.

  “Nope Nana is fine”.

  Laughs out, “Yeah, right, those kind of words are forbidden to her”.

  “Maybe those words were hard for Nana to talk about to boys, I’m a girl, and Nana’s smart the
closest thing to a mom in a way she is my mom”.

  “I’m glad you talk with my maw, it’s important at this stage, mostly teen years”,

  Stood up patted top of her head and the dog scooter to and walking through the house running fingers through curls mumbling, “Talks like these are hard when it’s a girl”. Outside, heading towards her car smiling held keys saw Ella walking towards the apartment building suddenly hand against head the other against the building, “Hmm she is about to pass out”, hurried up to her asking, “Hey you okay”.

  Hand up says, “I’m fine Betsy”, standing there asking, “Sure, because don’t look to well”. “Yes, really”.

  “I’m sorry about what happened a few weeks ago”, shook her head, hand near mouth, “Don’t worry about it”, and leaning against the wall, gagging.

  “Hey you’re not okay Ella”, turning around tears rolling, “Oh my god what’s wrong?”

  Inside the building, apartment four, stood by the stove frying bacon whistling, knock at the door, hurried opening door “Hey Betsy, missing me already?”

  Slapped him across the face said, “I will never forgive you, just stay away from me, I mean it this time”, running down the hall.

  Walking into the kitchen sniffing and noticed says, “Hey daddy, bacons burning”. “What the heck happened”.

  One finger pointing towards the stove replied, “Well the flame is high”. “Nah with Betsy?” Stood there heard door shutting, “I have a clue”, runs down the hallway yells, “What about the bacon daddy?”

  Yelling back, “NOT HUNGRY!”

  “What happen to responsible parenting, glad I’m ten”.

  Shut the bacon off and stood banging on door to apartment three, door opens holding a washcloth, “What do you want”.

  Hand on waist, no shirt on wearing only blue jeans replied, “What the heck have you done again?”

  Waved hand, “Don’t wave your hand, I’m serious Ella, why you doing this to me?” “Doing what?” Patting her face with the damp washcloth and annoyed said, “Trying to ruin a good thing”.

  “Ah, but you ruined the best thing ever for me, right”.
