The One That Got Away
Elaine has a puzzling look on her face as she removes her jacket, revealing her curvy body and slim waist. Elaine is an example of hour Glass. She runs and jumps onto her husband dramatically. He picks her up and squeeze her tightly.
"Ms.Maria was just leaving." Eaton says mischievously.
I raise an eyebrow, "Yes I was. Eaton the door?"
"It's Mr.Lancaster and the security will show you out." That electric smile that I once saw has now vanished.
Elaine looks at me sympathetically with a puppy face. I smile at her only hoping she knew what he did in the dark. Mr.Eaton's security approaches me and lead me to the door.
"Don't.Touch.Me." I say with a threatening tone. I jerk my arm away from the douchebag of a security guard and start towards the door.
So this is how Eaton succeeds with his shenanigans? Just simply blow me off as if he wasn't just trying to sleep with me? He's my angel and devil, heaven and hell.
I walk out of Mr.Eaton's home and onto the front lawn. The fresh six o'clock evening air is comforting. I walk down the street with a disgusted stomach. I receive a text from Eaton. How did he even get my number?
Eaton: Hey, we're still good I just had to protect my marriage.
You: As you should. After all that should've been your first priority not baiting me for sex then blowing me off. Goodbye.
Just thirty minutes ago I craved Mr.Lancaster now I don't want it. He's such a slutty bitch I hate him. I don't. I'll be over it tomorrow.
I reach into my purse for some bubble gum. I grab my favourite cherry flavor and pop it into my mouth. I reach my home and Joanne is sitting outside with a pained expression.
"Hey, are you ok?" I ask placing my hand on her shoulder. She just looks at me and says, "He asked for me to marry him and I said no." Tears fall from her eyes ruining her mascara.
I guide her inside the house and sit down with her on the red couch avoiding a bag on the floor. My hands meet on my lap as Joanne collapses into me. "You didn't have to say yes Jo. Just think this through and get yourself together." I murmur in her ear.
I release a tired sigh. "Today has been hectic. So Eaton shows up at my job, steals my car, invites me over, and kicks me out." I exclaim crossing my legs.
Jo looks up at me with sorrow eyes. "Damn. You know his name?"
"It's complicated." I reply getting up. "Goodnight." I walk up the stairs tiredly holding onto the rail. I Invision roses and snakes on each step. I open my room door and jump onto the bed exhausted. I need to sleep and forget about tonight.

Tired blue boy starts walking my way. I flash a fake smile then look away, focusing on my phone. When I glance up again I notice something I haven't noticed before, he's holding someone's hand. Joanne's. She let's go of his hand after placing a small kiss on his forehead then disappears. Finally, that basic bitch is gone now I can take her man. He stands there lonely motioning for me to come over. Someone once told me to stay away from things that aren't mine. I strut towards the tired blue boy then suddenly Joanne reappears. This bitch.
"I love you Jo." He says squeezing her hands. She just looks at him expectingly.
"Stop lying with those words...you don't love her!" I cry out.
Joanne starts kicking and screaming while the tired blue boy sits here and watch with a panicking expression. It must be true if she is responding this way.
"SHUT HER UP!" I yell throwing my hands up in frustration.
Joanne is honestly getting on my last nerve. She continues to whine like she's a baby. I should just give her a pacifier.
"Loving her seems tiring." I say with a puppy face. "I love you Jo." Is all he manages to say. I groan. Joanne continues to scream and cry drawing attention.
"Joanne shut up." I say flatly with tired eyes. I feel something spike in my energy and I push her into the street traffic. A passing bus smacks her and crumble her into alphabet blocks.
The tired blue boy looks at me worriedly. "Love me now. She's gone." I say emotionless opening my arms out for a hug.
"Jealousy is a disease die slow." Is all he manages to say.

I feel a presence in front of me. It feels like three...three Eaton's. Do I imagine this or is he really there? Either way I see his mesmerizing eyes starring into me. It's just me and three of him. Each one circles me. I take a long slow look at each one. Eaton is shirtless with his abs exposed.
"Maria? Touch me." Eaton suggests with a wide grin. I lift up my hand and place it on his beating heart. He grabs it and kisses me. It's fast and comforting. Each Eaton surrounding me is placing their lips on me. Soft moans erupt into the air. Suddenly, each Eaton disappears and I'm left by myself.
Mirrors form around me and my reflection looks insecure. Broken and desperate. Eaton comes from behind me wrapping his arms around me. The warmth from his body calms me and my reflection looks alive.
"Maria kiss me." Eaton says pulling my hair behind my ears.
I turn around with my face beneath his. Our eyes meet and I kiss him. First, his neck. His neck tastes sour and smells like perfume. It smells like perfume I don't own. I kiss his lips and I taste mint.
The mirrors disappear and it's just Eaton and I. The lights go away and we're trapped in darkness. I extend my arms and try to feel for him. He's gone.
