A few days pass, and Shelby decides to go back to her home to pick up the rest of her things, and tell her soon to be ex-husband that he can keep the house. After thinking about it, she realized that she didn't want it anymore. All that was there were the god awful memories of the past months of their horrid marriage.
When she arrives to the home, she sees that the front widow has been bashed in. First thought is that someone broke in, which makes fear swarm throughout her body. She walks inside, and her fears soon disappear when she realizes the mess created was Matt. The whole house has been trashed. Windows have been smashed, doors off their hinges, holes in the walls, and when she gets to the kitchen she sees the thousand dollar counter tops crushed. Her eyes fall to the floor and she's greeted by the sight of Matt on the floor with an empty bottle of vodka, and a sledge hammer next to him.
She sighs, and grabs a cup to fill with ice cold water. She throws the water on the man to wake him.
"AH!" He shrieks.
"What the fuck did you do?!" Shelby yells.
Matt begins to laugh creepily, "I broke everything in the goddamn house."
Her jaw falls slack, but soon closes. "You want the house that badly? You can have it now." The dirty blonde says before turning to walk to hallway. She looks back at him, "Have fun paying for all the shit you damaged."
He quickly stands from the dirty tiled flooring to run to his soon to be ex. "What?"
"I told you, keep the house. I don't care anymore." Shelby says, and goes to the bedroom to pack her things.
She fills three suitcases with the rest of her clothes, yoga things, and her computer. She walks back down the hall to find Matt with his hands crossed and a confused look on his face. She watched as his eyes widen, and he lunges forward to grab her, but she jumps out of the way.
"What the fuck is this?" He asks, pointing to the many love marks on her neck and chest.
"Hickeys," she states.
"Who gave you those?"
"Who do you fucking think?" Shelby says before taking off her wedding ring and placing it on the table.
Matt stood there as the rage build up more and more within him. He steps forward to grab the ring and watch as Shelby walks to the door. "So, this is it?"
"Yes. Goodbye, Matt." She says and grabbed the knob of the door.
"What happened to us?"
Shelby turns the knob, and steps outside before looking at Matt. "You should evaluate yourself. What happened to you, Matt?" With that she shut the door.
After loading up everything into the car, Shelby drives to Audrey's where she will be staying. She was surprised the actress suggested such, but she was glad she did.
Upon arrival, she realizes that Audrey isn't home, and she had no way of getting into the gate or house. She sighs, and calls her newfound lover.
"Hello, love. Is everything okay?"
"I forgot to ask you for the code for the gate, and a key for the door." The yoga instructor explains.
"The code is twelve seventeen, and there's going to be a few rocks around the rose pot, one of them is fake, and inside is the key."
"Okay, thank you."
"No problem, sweetheart. I'll have a key made for you by tomorrow."
"You don't ha—"
Audrey interrupts the woman, "Yes, I do. Don't be stubborn with me on this."
"Okay," Shelby smiles. "See you later?"
"Yes, I'll be home late tonight... around ten or so."
"Okay."
Shelby takes her things into the large house and up to the second floor to the second largest bedroom. After a few hours, she has everything put away, and heads back downstairs. She looks through the cupboards and fridge to see what she can make. She decides upon spaghetti, and some garlic bread with wine.
As she approaches the bottom of the wine bottle, Shelby can feel the liquor getting the best of her. She looked around the room and sees a remote, and she starts to play with the buttons on it. The first few turn the lights onto different settings, and the last one she clicks turns on some music.
The woman starts dancing around the kitchen as she finishes her dinner. She loses track of time, and doesn't realize how late it's gotten, until she turns and sees Audrey watching her dance. The blonde has a smile on her lips.
"Do-don't just stand here, come-come here, and dance with me." The taller woman slurs, holding out both of her hands.
Audrey laughs to herself as she steps forward and takes the woman's hands. Since Shelby doesn't have shoes on, and the actress has on her heels, they were almost the same height. The song changes to a slow one, and actress pulls the other woman closer.
"How much wine have you had?"
"Mm," the woman hums as she places her head on Audrey's shoulder. "A whole bottle... I love wine."
"Yes, I know." She laughs.
"You do?"
"Remember I played you. I drank wine in almost every scene."
"Oh, yeah." She giggles.
By the time the song ends, Shelby feels herself falling asleep in the other woman's arms. "Love, why don't I take you to bed?"
"Okay, I'd like that."
They two get upstairs, and Audrey guides the other woman to her room, and helps her into the bed. "I'm going to go eat, are you okay here?"
"Wait," the dirty blonde sits up, "I thought we were going to have sex..."
Audrey shakes her head as she tried to hold back her laughter. "No, my love. I meant take you to bed as in to sleep, not shag."
"Oh," Shelby frowns.
"We can do that when you're not so tired and drunk."
"Okay," she gives a sleepy smile before laying back down.
Audrey can't help but laugh at the woman's actions, and heads back downstairs.
