Sweet Revenge (Book One)

That One Sketch

          We arrived at his house and I went into the house as I left him to unload the truck. I’d probably get it later since it was my crap and not his but I knew what I was getting myself into, right? Ryan was taking my crap to our bedroom and what didn’t go into the bedroom, it went into the spare bedroom. My writing desk, art stuff, and anything like that. The last thing he brought in was the last of my clothes. I looked at him as he walked up the stairs.

          “You’re going to get it.” He said to me and I shot him a small smile. I laid on his couch and waited for him to come down. 20 minutes later, I thought that he would come get me but he never came back downstairs. I sat up and sighed as I thought to myself about what he was planning. I got up and went upstairs then I saw the lilies, roses, and candles. I smiled at them then I realized what was going on. I walked into the spare bedroom and started to sketch so I could get my mind off things. I heard someone walk into the room.

          “I thought I heard you in here. What’s wrong, baby?” Ryan asked as he touched my shoulder. I got tense and he removed his hand. “Baby, I know it’s tough on you because of the miscarriage but it’s going to be alright.” he added. I turned around to look at him.

          “You promised.” I managed to say and he touched my face. I wanted to cry because he broke our promise.

          “Baby, I know I did but that was like two months ago.” He said and I held back the tears.

          “We promised that we’d try again in four months.” I said, holding tears in. He frowned at me.

          “Alright, I’ll stop setting the mood and get rid of everything.” He said as he stood up.

          “No, leave the flowers. You know I love lilies.” I stated and he nodded then he walked out of the room. I went back to my sketch; it was a sketch of Ryan behind me as he had both hands on my stomach. I wanted that feeling of having a baby inside me again but the pain of losing another child frightened me. I quickly put the sketch away where he couldn’t find it then started on a new sketch. I had to get an idea of a bunny out of my mind. It would have little baby bunnies and have a carrot in its mouth. Ryan came back in and sat down next to me.

          “I love it, baby. I love all of your sketches and drawings. We can just turn this into your art studio and hang some of our favorites on the walls.” He said and it melted my heart but then again, he’d find my other sketch and I didn’t want that to happen.

          “I’d like that, babe.” I said as I continued to sketch. He kissed the top of my head then walked out of the room. I took the other sketch out from where I hid it and looked at it. It made me change my mind about the whole promise with Ryan and I decided to put more detail into it. Once it was done, I went to find Ryan so he could see it. I found him playing Bioshock Infinite on the X-Box. I stood in front of the TV and he glared at me.

          “Get out of the way!” he shouted and I shook my head as I smiled. I stayed firm and held out the sketch. He sighed as he stood up and grabbed it from my hand. He looked at it then at me. “When did you draw this?” he asked.

          “Hmm, about an hour ago.” I replied and he looked up at me. I could see his emotion change from being a bit mad to compassionate.

          “Come here, baby.” He said and I walked over. He hugged me tight and I stayed in his embrace. “Do you still want to wait?” he asked. I shook my head and rested my head on his shoulder. He picked me up and carried me to our bedroom. I knew he was wanting to do it, and well I wanted to do it too. It was getting dark, so it was a perfect opportunity. We got to our room and he kissed me passionately. We started making out then his hands started to explore my body as if we never did anything dirty. He laid me on the bed then got me undressed as I was struggling with his belt around his waist. He stripped his shirt off then came back to my lips and started kissing me again. By the next few minutes, we were fully naked and had sex. I had to admit, it felt really good even though it wasn’t the first time and I’m sure as hell that it wasn’t going to be the last time either.
