Athena has been married to her childhood sweetheart Jack Napier for 5 years.
Everything was going so well until her husband got mixed up in bad business.
Now know as The Joker, Jack forces Athena out of town.
3 years have passed and now she's back...
Athena's POV I had been here a week and so far everything was going really good. After mine and Jessica's 'confrontation' she had gone pretty much silent. She still couldn't stop her snarky remarks every so often but it didn't bother me, I could handle her. I think when I came back everyone was still expecting me to still be the shy, quiet and obedient girl I had always been. Though I was still shy I wasn't quiet or obedient. Nobody would walk all over me ever again! I was no longer the girl who let her husband drive her to the brink of insanity. I was confident now and ready to strike if I had to.
Apart from Jessica everyone had been so sweet and kind to me particularly one person..... Chris! We had been getting on like a house on fire. He was such a sweet guy and a true gentleman which was just what I needed. Obviously it had only been a week so there were no butterflies or fireworks but I couldn't deny the deep attraction I had for him. Since he had impressed me so much I didn't hesitate to going on a date when he asked me and that very date was tonight.
I was feeling so nervous but not because of him. I was nervous because it had been years since I dated someone different and I wasn't sure if I still knew how to. To be honest apart from tonight I didn't think I wanted to date at all. I didn't want anything serious with Chris but I did want him that much was clear. Maybe we could just have some fun and then agree to be friends once I had to go home.
Picking up my phone I checked the time. 5:30pm! I had spent almost two hours laid on my bed, staring at the ceiling as I let myself get deep in thought. Chris was coming for 7pm and I hadn't even picked out my clothes. Shit! I was going to be so late! Jumping up from my bed I thanked all the gods above that I showered earlier and rushed towards my wardrobe in the hopes of finding something nice to wear. I still had to do my hair, make up, get dressed and made sure I smelt like a goddess.
"Athena! Chris is here, get your ass downstairs!" Ashley called loudly making my heart skip a beat in fright. Crap! He was here, it was time for my date! I felt like a flushed sixteen year old getting ready to spend the night with her crush. "Ok I'm coming, just a sec!" I replied as I finished fastening the strap on my heel.

For the first time in years I felt sexy, like I could bring a man to his knees and make him beg for my affection. It's so strange that something simple like a dress could make me feel so empowered. Every woman should feel as good as I did right now. Hell I could even take Jessica's eyes out in these heels. "Play nice Athena!" I mumbled to myself.
Walking down the stairs I saw Chris sat on the sofa waiting for me. Damn! He looked like sex on legs and I couldn't ignore the sudden dampness in my panties at the sight of him. "Hello Chris" I called out softly making his head snap to look at me. I felt my face grow hot as his eyes went wide and he bit his lip. "You look breathtaking Athena!" His husky voice growled slightly as he stood up and approached me. "Thank you" I whispered internally shouting at myself for getting so flustered. "God damn! Shall we head out?" He moaned placing a kiss at the corner of my lips. Not being able to speak I nodded my head and took his hand. "Have fun kids!" Ashley giggled as we walked out.
