My Dangerous Wife; GD

1• The Energy

Ameerah•••

The room was cold and dark, but the single light in the interrogation room felt like it was burning my skin. Officer Lewis wreaked of sweat and coffee, while his partner officer diaz smelled like a tropical summer day.

Obviously someone is going through something at home, I took in a breath hearing Lewis slam his hand in the table. I didn't flinch I just stared at my hands that had blood on them. It felt as though the blood seeped into my skin and nails.

"Mrs. Dolan we need you to tell us everything."

"I have! And look what happened! This is all your fault! Why can't you cops do your fucking job correctly without hurting an innocent person?!" I yelled, rattling the table. They looked scared now, I felt like for a split second I had all the power.

You must be confused, I am too but how about I go back and explain why and how I'm here.

I felt the cold brisk breeze hit my skin harshly as I made a sharp turn, I could hear the sound of my ice skates scrape the ice flooding my ears.

My eyes were closed, no one was around. I was at peace, it felt nice to get out of the house once and a while without Grayson or the kids. I've always loved figure skating, but something about ballet fills my soul differently.

I skated to where the music was and I looked around my phone for a song, I heard the sound of the door opening and I snapped my head hearing footsteps and small talking.

I saw Grayson and the kids walk in and I smiled, 3:00 pm just on time. "You ready?" Grayson asked from behind the pixie glass wall. "Wait mom could you do one song? Please?" Marcella asked, since she was a baby she's always loved watching me dance.

I love that she loves to dance too, I want her to be better than me like most mothers do. I looked at Grayson and he nodded his head, "One song." She smiled widely going to sit next to her siblings. Grayson played the music and I turned skating back into the middle of the rink.

Dazed and confused by ruel played and I took in a deep breath, feeling my lungs fill with the cold air. I felt my body electrify with each movement, I took in a deep breath hitting a triple salchow.

I felt myself get giddy trying to gracefully move my arms, I hit the end with a triple axel. My breathing was harsh as I kept my position until the music ended. They clapped and cheered and I smiled chuckling softly, my biggest fans.

I skated off the rink and met up with them outside the rink, "That was awesome." Marcella sat next to me as I took off my skates. "I'm guessing you wanna learn that huh?"
"I just can't get my triple axel."

"You will I promise." I kissed the top of her head and I grabbed the rest of my stuff going to the car. "So when are we going shopping for camp?" Mattia asked and I furrowed my brows looking at him then at Grayson who whistled backing out.

"What camp?"
"Summer Football camp, dad said he was gonna tell you." I looked at Grayson who heavily focused on the road, "I'll look to see when we get home." Was all I said leaning back in my chair, the tension in the car was thick and no one spoke.

We got back to the house and everyone scrambled to their room, Grayson didn't say anything sitting on the bed taking off his tie.

"When were you going to tell me about camp?"
"Later tonight, I didn't think it was that serious." He shrugged going into the closet to hang up his clothes, I sat on the bench messing with my nails.

"When is it?"
"Next week."
"When'd you know?" He stayed quiet, and turned facing me scratching his chin. "Couple months ago."

"So you waited to tell me a week before he left?"
"You were traveling, you weren't even paying attention."

"You Can still call me Grayson."
"Why are you getting so worked up about it? I already signed and paid for their camps. Let it go." I felt my chest tighten when he walked out of the closet, we've been arguing a lot lately. Over little things, it doesn't feel the same like how we normally argue.

He hasn't touched me in weeks and I don't know what's happening, the kids have been quiet, the house is tense. It's starting to feel like it's all my fault, maybe I'm traveling too much, maybe I'm just not here as I usually am.

"I'm sorry." His face dropped and he groaned rubbing his face, "Don't do that Ameerah."
"Do what? I'm sorry I'm not here all the time."

"You do this and make me look bad and try to guilt trip me." He said putting on a white t shirt, walking out the closet. I didn't say anything and just watched him, he called me by my name. I haven't heard him call me Angel in weeks.

My body started to get shaky, I couldn't move or react. He gave off a different energy, he walked out the room and I felt my eyes blur from the tears welling. What the actual fuck?

••••

"So he's been acting different?" Jessica asked running beside me, it's 7 am and she has me jogging a mile with her. We've been doing this for a while now so it's not so weird, but waking up at 7 am everyday to run isn't the most exciting thing to start off my morning.

"He's been distant, calling me by my name, arguing a lot, hasn't touched me in weeks. I feel like I'm doing something wrong."

"Never think that unless you actually are." I felt someone bump into me and I stopped seeing the woman with long hair tied in a ponytail look back at me. She wore sunglasses, a hat and clothes that completely covered her body from the neck down. What spooked me was that she looked like Addison.

I blinked a few times and she was gone, I was confused and scared at the same time. I looked around to see if I could find her but she vanished. "Why'd you stop? You ok?"
"Yeah I don't feel so good, could we walk home?"

Jessica nodded her head and we walked quietly back to my house, "That girl that bumped into you ran really fast right after." I stopped walking and turned to her, Jessica blinked arching her brow. "You saw her too?"
"Yeah but she looked like she was hiding from someone." She laughed out, I laughed softly and looked around scared.

We made it to my house and everyone was still sleeping so it was completely quiet, Jessica drove back to her place and I went upstairs to take a shower. Grayson was still sleeping on his back with the covers on his waist hugging the pillow. His back muscles flexed when he moved ever so slightly.

I took a shower and felt tears pour down my face colliding with the water beating down on my skin. I took a hot shower to try and relax my muscles, to let my mind relax but all I could think about was how my marriage is going down the drain.

I closed my eyes feeling the water pour down my body, I heard the sound of the door open and I turned seeing Grayson walk in. The toilet was right next to the shower and the shower was see through. He was peeing and I looked down and I felt my face get hot.

"Don't act like you're not looking Angel." He smirked I smiled feeling my heart beat in my chest. He called me Angel, ok maybe everything isn't doing down hill. "Couldn't help it." I turned off the water opening the shower door.

"Could you pass me the towel?" He looked at my body and had a small smirk playing on his lips. I felt my face get hot when he moved closer to me with my towel in his hand. I reached for it and he moved his arm back smirking, "Gotta he quicker than that." I squinted my eyes at him and moved closer to grab it.

He grabbed my waist pulling me closer softly kissing me, the feeling of his hands on my wet naked body ignited a flame in me. God I missed his touch, I moaned softly feeling him slowly move backwards. His smile disappeared and he had a small frown, "You know I love you right?"

I nodded my head biting my bottom lip, "I love you too." He smiled softly and handed me my towel, "Wait Gray, uh when I was running earlier I saw this woman who looked so much like Addison."

"That's not possible they're in prison."
"It was weird, she bumped into me and just stared at me then sped off. Jessica said she saw her, but didn't say she looked like Addison."

Grayson didn't say anything and he scratched his chin, I searched his face and I instantly felt the energy in the room shift. "I think you're being paranoid babe."

I opened my mouth to speak, but closed it not wanting to start an argument. I just nodded my head and let him walk out closing the bathroom door.

Somethings not right.
