I unlocked the garage door letting myself into the seemingly empty house.

"Hello?"

Almost immediately, Sally came around the corner as I set my purse down on the island, her eyes like daggers.

"You are fucking unbelievable!"

I shrugged my eyebrows with a sigh "Nice to see you too, Sal"

"Didn't you learn fucking anything?" She asked following me through the house to the bedroom I shared with Noel

"Apparently not enough" I muttered dropping the suitcase of the bed and emptying the dirty clothes into the hamper

"Apparently not..." she agreed "Are you fucking stupid?!" she practically yelled "Noel is the best god damn thing to happen to you and you're going to throw it all away for some teenage California surfer booty call?"

I scoffed with a laugh taking my toiletries into the bathroom "He wasn't a surfer..." I answered walking around her as I came back into the bedroom. "And he's not a teenager either..."

"So what?!" Sally shrieked "You're married!" "Did you tell him that?"

"Yup" I muttered taking the full laundry hamper down to the laundry room, Sally was hot on my heels "I think he was too," I continued "I vaguely remember feeling a ring around my throat this afternoon...maybe it was just my lack of oxygen"

"This afternoon?!" Sally yelled "Did you have your soul physically removed or something?" She asked

"Where's the baby?" I asked, assuming her last question was rhetorical

"He's at Peggy's," she answered quickly before shaking her head in disgust at me "So what did you do, swap numbers or just diseases?" She asked

"Can you butt the fuck out of my life for five god damn minutes?" I snapped at her "Where is Noel?"

"Not here..."

"No shit..." I muttered "That's why I asked where he is"

"If he had half a brain, he's at the courthouse filing for divorce" She muttered following behind me to the kitchen

I rolled my eyes as I heard the front door open.
I walked around the corner and was greeted with Jack's smiling face and Noel's glare.

"Hi baby!" I smiled picking Jack up from the floor; I kissed his temple before looking at Noel.

"Hi..."

"Have a good time on your vacation?" He asked, his eyes studying my face.

I set Jack back on his feet straightening his shirt "Where's Aunt Sally?" I asked "Can you go find Aunt Sally?" He nodded enthusiastically before running off as fast as his legs would carry him.

I stood back up and looked at Noel "You want to know if I fucked him?" I asked "After you fucked off, if I went running back to him? The green eyes and his tattoo covered body?"

"I already know y'did..."

"Do you?" I asked "Did you hang around to watch?"

"I know you, Lyla, it's what -"

"What I do," I nodded "So you've said"

"Well love, if the shoe fits..."

"Just goes to show what you know doesn't it?"

"Tell me the truth then..." he folded his arms over his chest "Did y'fuck 'im after I left?"

"I..."
