Elizabeth and her dear husband Brandon were breathing heavily on the bed, after hours of making love, they finally broke apart. after gaining a little sense, Brandon stood up and walked into bathroom closing the door behind, after exactly five seconds she heard the shower running, it was there daily routine, Brandon would come home, eat and bed her every night before showering and then working on his laptop or sleeping right away, no talking, no cuddling, nothing. That was how it worked for them, they were partners in bed and strangers outside the bed, Elizabeth sighed sadly and closed her eyes as a tear escaped her eye and then another, every night she would tell herself to fight him the next day but every single she ended like this, so vulnerable and pathetic, the feeling of her heart clenching and her lungs screaming for air was so normal for her, she pressed her palm on her mouth to not make any noise as a sob escaped her mouth, her eyes widened as she heard the shower go off, she wiped her tears and closed her eyes as if sleeping. And just like always she fell asleep while pretending to sleep.

MY FIRST STORY, HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE IT.
"I have never done this before." he whispered while cupping her face.
"Me too" she said looking at his eyes.
"What? You... You have... I thought..." he stammered.
Her eyes widened in realization of what he could have thought about her.
"Don't tell me you also believed in the rumors our office talking about." she chided at him.
"I... I am sorry. It didn't matter to me. And it doesn't matter what your past was. So I didn't take into consideration of other possible ways." he tried to explain his blunder mistake of touching her nerve.
She shook her head at disappointment.
"I thought you are different from others. But no. Even you also thought so low me. Just leave." she pointed her hand towards the door.
"Please understand. I didn't mean it like that." he wanted to tell her why he thought like that. He never believed in rumors when he himself was victim of a gossiping group.
"Whatever it is we will talk tomorrow. I want to be alone. So leave now" she whisper yelled as she didn't want to wake her baby sleeping in adjacent room.
