Tattered Souls

Chapter 40: Dirty Laundry

Paige

I sigh as I pull the clothes out of the dryer and into a basket.

I want to call Sam so bad,but I don't want to hurt her anymore than I already have.

When she left like that,I broke down. I cried for hours.

I was still crying when Jason came home.

He asked what was wrong and I didn't want to tell him but when I looked into his eyes I could tell he knew.

He wiped my tears and kissed the top of my head. "It's okay baby. You can tell me."

More tears rolled down my cheek as I began to explain everything to him.

From how it was supposed to be innocent advice to the events leading up to the proposal.

He listened to every word allowing me to calm down before speaking. "It's alright hon. I knew something was going on a while ago but I was too stubborn to believe it."

I looked away but he gently grabbed my chin to turn me back. "I've loved you ever since that day at the party. I know everything about you from how you like your coffee to why you wear certain things. I've noticed you taking a bit more care in what you wear and spending more and more time with Sam. I even noticed you applying make up in other places."

I try to turn away feeling ashamed. "I'm so sorry Jason. I never meant to hurt you, neither of us did."

He smiles a little and let's go of my chin to rub his hands on his face. "I know. I know you wouldn't do this unless you really felt it in your heart that it's what you truly wanted. I know Sam too. She's a player but she's my best friend. She wouldn't do something like this to me to hurt me."

I nod and the room goes quiet. I gently twist the ring on my finger and he places his hand on mine.

"I don't think you're going to be needing that anymore huh? Atleast not right now." He slides it off of my finger and I felt a sharp pain course through me.

I still care for Jason and I hate that I hurt him so badly, but my heart isn't with him.

We talk a little more after that and he goes upstairs to be alone for a little while.

Im trying to get my mind off of everything so I start cleaning the house.

I was finishing up the laundry when I hear someone knocking at the door.

I tilt my head wondering who it could be in this weather and look through the peep hole.

Im shocked when I see Sam standing in front of the door dripping wet so I quickly open the door to let her in.

"Sam? What are you d-" I can't finish my sentence because she crashes her lips into mine and cups my face with her hands.

I gasp a little into the kiss surprised but i quickly melt into it not realizing how much I missed the way her lips felt against mine.

I moan as she backs me up against the wall and I instinctively wrap my arms around her neck bringing her closer.

The sudden contact with her instantly sends a shockwave through my body.

With everything going on, I didn't realize how much I craved her touch.

She reaches down cupping my ass and lifting me up so my legs wrap around her waist and I squeal at the sudden motion breaking the kiss.

We both try to catch our breaths as we look into each other's eyes before smiling at one another. "Well hello to you too."

She smiles and kisses me before looking down at my clothes and blushing a little. "Umm Sorry, I kinda got your clothes wet."
