Into the Light

What the hell was I listening to! The tears were on the verge of slipping but I put on my poker face, don’t let this bitch get to you.

“If you think this bothers me then your loss. It’s the past Roxy, we all have one…”

“No one can tame Lex, let that be a lesson learned…”

Well, I’m the one wearing the wedding ring, doll face” I struggled to say, hoping my nerve wouldn’t betray me.

The sound of footsteps echoed throughout the hall and I turned around as BJ stood at the entrance.

“Roxy, what the fuck are you doing here? Take that beastly fanny of yours and leave them the fuck alone.”

“BJ, what a pleasant surprise. You want to do tag team again”? With a shrill in her voice, she licked her lips and it was impossible to ignore that I could see her fucking vagina as she purposely spread her legs.

“Belt up, Roxy. You’re not welcome here anymore. Now get your shit and leave before I drag you out of here,” he warned.

He walked over to me and gave me a hug. I allowed myself to be comforted by him because my mind was going crazy with so many questions that needed answering. We were interrupted as Lex ran through the door, out of breath, his eyes darting between Roxy and BJ, then a look of sorrow as he focused on me.

“Roxy, how the fuck did you get in here!?”

“Lex, baby, remember you gave me this key? The night that both you and BJ had your cocks in my pussy.”

This was too much; I pulled myself out of BJ’s embrace and headed out of the room. I couldn’t cope and the sordid image was now ingrained in my brain and I wanted to erase it but nooo I couldn’t fucking drink!

“Charlotte, please wait!” Lex pulled my arm but I managed to get out of his grip.

“

Don’t touch me…”I warned.

“Please don’t leave me, Charlotte, remember you were fucking Julian, you were even going to marry him!”

I turned around fast, was he fucking serious!

“I’m not going to leave you, however I need to be alone right now. And since you want to bring Julian up, how about I tell you about all the times he fucked me in my apartment, on my bed, on the kitchen table, on the couch, in the shower. Maybe now you will understand how I feel.” I stormed out of the apartment so fast that I didn’t realize that BJ was trailing me. “Charlie! Wait,” he called out.

I waited because I had no idea where I was going and I was alone in a city that held so much of Lex’s past. “C’mon, love, let’s take you somewhere and talk.”

BJ was fast becoming my favorite person to be around, purely because he knew I was pregnant and couldn’t drink. He did the next best thing; he took me to a chocolate café. Now, the chocolate fondue fountain in the window alone was enough to make me forget for a few moments that Lex was a big ass jerk.

We sat down at a booth near the counter as the waitress read out the menu to us. BJ told her to give us the sample plate; my body was battling with my mind, the anger slowly subsiding and the scent of sweet confectionaries lingering in the air.

“They make all the chocolate in that kitchen,” BJ pointed to the back somewhere.

“You come here often?”

“Ahh cat’s out of the bag. Let’s just say that I’m a regular and women love chocolate when they need consoling.”

I laughed; it was his go-to place to bring pathetic, depressed women, and no doubt after he filled them full of chocolate he filled them full of jizz.

“BJ, why don’t I expect anything less from you and I’ve only known you for like two minutes?”

“Listen, Charlie, back there…”

“He was single, he enjoyed sex, dirty sex, I get it.” Fuck, it hurt like hell though!

“Okay, I won’t argue that, but you gotta hear me out. I had never met a chap that was as miserable as Lex. You’ve changed him, Charlie, for the better. Don’t listen to Roxy, let it go and move on. Christ, that Roxy makes Lindsay Lohan look like a virgin.”

I let out a small chuckle, momentarily distracted when the sample plate of chocolate including the mini fondue fountain was placed before us. We sat in silence while I allowed myself to get lost in chocolate heaven.
