Toni stepped out of the shower sighing as she heard the front door close. Kenny had been gone for a while and the only reason she hadn't left was because the last ferry out was already gone. She grabbed her towel tying it around herself before stepping out of the bathroom.
She paused seeing Kenny sitting on the bed facing away from her. There was silence and the tension was thick. She walked over to where he was to grab her lotion.
She spoke quickly, "Umm, I'll be gone first thing tomorrow morn-" She was cut off as he grabbed her wrist. She let out a breath, "What?" She asked not wanting to fight again.
"I'm sorry. I-..." He trailed off shaking his head as he quickly looked away.
She frowned seeing a tear, "Ken..." she trailed off looking down, "What happened to your hands?"
He was using frozen peas as an ice pack. He shook his head again not wanting to talk about it. He'd never been so angry with his parents.
"I'm sorry. I just didn't want to believe that happened to you and I wasn't there to stop it. I should've came home earlier that day, I could've protected you." He said.
She sighed, "There was nothing you could do-"
"I could've tried! I would've used his shotgun."
"And killed your father?"
"He deserves it." He snapped.
"Don't say that." She told him.
"It's true." He said with a shrug adjusting the peas on his swollen knuckles. He looked up at her,"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"Your father was your hero. I didn't want to ruin that. I also didn't think you'd love me the same if you knew." She answered.
He pulled her onto his lap,"I'm always going to love you, what happened is not your fault. I just can't believe you still chose me after everything this fucked up family put you through."
"You're the only person who makes me feel whole. You're nothing like them." She said making him tense up. She frowned again,"What?"
"I don't wanna talk about it. Let's just focus on us. I just want to be here with you and tell you how sorry I am."
"It's okay."
"No it's not, I've been an ass while you've only tried to protect me. I love you."
"I love you too." She said.
He pecked her lips softly before pulling her into a deeper kiss.
He laid back allowing her to straddle him as he worked on his pants. When they were undone he ripped the towel off her body and flipped them over.
He kissed his way down her body leaving her few extra on her tiny bump making her giggle. Being a tease, he lifted her leg putting a wet kiss on her ankle and worked his way down. The kisses became sloppier when he reached her inner thigh.
He abruptly paused seeing scars, some fresher than others but very visible.
"What is this?" He asked her.
