Red.

You ever have that one friend who takes you to a party,promises they will be with you all night, then they abandon you? Well that was my current situation, as soon as we entered, a red glass was placed in my hand as Vic's hand was pulled from mine, his brother sending me a somewhat accusing glare as they exited to the back. Dawn had left me too, being as the other children here were much cooler than her mother. I had eventually found my way to the back, seeing as I was the only one inside, I didn't want anyone to think anything of it. As I exited onto the porch, I slid the glass door behind me seeing alysha'a back to me red glass in hand and a smoke between her red lips. Alysha must have heard my heels click against the wood as she turned and saw me rolling her eyes at me once before returning to her previous position. I sent a glare towards her back, what happened to being friendly? I rolled my eyes, continuing to walk forward leaning against the railing a couple of feet from her. I stood watching over the party. The boys were in a group talking, laughing, occasionally chugging their beers, and then laughing some more. Next to them the parents stood off to the side over-looking the food and talking chisme about the boys. My eyes then wandered over to the kids, they all stood hands interlocked in two lines occasionally singing "red rover red rover let "insert kids name" come over. It was quite the site to see no matter how hard they held hands the kid still got through. I chuckled as I noticed my daughters pout start to appear, she had been beckoned over but sadly could not break the chain of hands.
" So how long had you and mike been together before miss dawn came along?" Alysha questioned blowing her smoke in my direction.
I gave her a glare, swatting the smoke away, "we were never together, apparently just a fling to him you know friends with benefits kind of thing."
Alysha let out a laugh accompanied with a scoff, "pathetic.". This time I turned to face her fully, "Excuse me, what did you say?" I questioned feeling my blood boil.
Alysha turned to face me standing fully, she flicked her bud at me, "I said pathetic, it's funny how you think I don't notice, I see the way you stare at him, how you think he will somehow leave me for you, it's pathetic, he never saw you two as a relationship before what makes you think having a daughter made that any different."
Alysha sent me a smirk, as she passed me to head down the stairs she stopped at my shoulder,
"you know I'm right don't you.". she whispered pushing into my shoulder before continuing her way down. I felt the tears began to pool, but I held strong I wouldn't let her win, not this time. As I watched her make her way back to the group, the way she wrapped herself around Mike and proceeded to kiss him, I knew it was all a game for her as her eyes met mine. I sent her a glare before looking away, a tear I had longed to keep at bay finally fell. I wiped at it,my eyes meeting with Vic's.
I saw him say something to Jaime before patting his back and making his way to me. Shit, I thought as I fanned my face and did multiple breathing techniques to make myself look like I wasn't almost going to cry. I felt a hand being placed on my back I looked to the side vic sending me a small smile as our eyes met.
"you want to talk about it?"
It took those 6 words to send the tears falling and my incoherent words to start spilling. Vic ushered me inside leading me to his old room so he could calm me. I sat with him on his bed, vic rubbing comforting circles on my back.
"she said I was pathetic Vic, she's right." I whispered. More tears began to fall as Vic pulled me closer wrapping his arms around me.
"you can't help who you fell in love with and had a beautiful child with if that makes you pathetic then everyone who's done that is pathetic to, em she's dumb your beautiful and my brother needs to get his head out of his ass, we all have warned him about her but he just doesn't listen."

Vic picked up my chin wiping at my eyes, he sent me a small smile, "feeling better?" He questioned.
I nodded my head, " thank you Vic I swear you've been nothing but amazing with dawn and me."
"you know it's no problem, Its not easy being you Em, your a full time mother and father to dawn and your work from home with no help, if anything I find you inspirational." He replied nudging my shoulder. I chuckled leaning against Vic, I turned to face him not noticing how close we had gotten. I smiled at him, my eyes locking with his chocolate brown eyes. My eyes darted down to his pink lips, I noticed his tounge peek out to slide across his bottom lip. I looked up at him through my lashes, the only thing heard in the room was our silent breathing. The bed started to dip as Vic leaned in closer slowly, we were inches apart, our breathes fanning across each other's faces. Vic's eyes met mine in a questiong glance, almost asking for permission to close the gap. I nodded my head slightly leaning forward as our lips met. Vic's hand made its way on to my cheek as he deepened the kiss. I felt myself being pushed back, as my body made contact with the soft duvet under me. My hands found their way into Vic's hair as they pulled on the soft brown locks earning a groan from the man on me. Vic pulled away from the kiss looking down at me, " I'm sorry em we shouldn't.."
I shushed him placing my finger to his lips, " don't vic, I want this, please just." I said nothing more as Vic's lips once again met mine in a kiss that held all emotions one being most visible. Want.
More kisses were shared, more clothes was shed. As those clothes flew off more kisses were placed. As our eyes locked, our lips met he pushed in our breathes becoming one. His lips made its way to my ear whispering what was only meant for to hear
"I'll make you feel beautiful once again"
As I gasped into the moon lighten room, on the other side of the door, hand to wood stood Mike. Mike leaned away from the door, hand falling limp to his side, he turned away slowly walking away numb, as he made his way downstairs a lonesome tear fell from his eye.
