Just Once

Three years of marriage brought nothing but a thorn to my heart. My child was critically ill and in need of treatment. My husband didn't care and even called me unfaithful. In my desperation, I sold my body and soul in exchange for the recovery of my child. His name was Benjamin. Dominating the underworld and influencing politics, he was like a poppy that impressed, captivated, broke, and disillusioned me. He said that different from the others who approached me only for sex, he wanted every part of me. He also said that I was his only one and that nothing in this world could compare with me. Then he told me that these were all lies. I told him that these were true to me.

She screamed, making him let go of her. She landed on her bad leg and she crumbled to the floor. "Crap" I blurted as I rushed to Ver's side. I helped her stand up and get back on the bed. "Are you okay? Why'd you scream?" I questioned.

Ver hissed through her teeth as she rubbed her leg. "There's a bite on her shoulder" Em answered for her.

I frowned and we all fell into a weird silence. "Uh... so" I started. "This is Sammie, Em, and Ver" I introduced the girls. "And that's Jesse, Sam, and Jeremy" I named off the guys. They all nodded, and I repeated the names in my head to make sure that I actually said the right names. That would be embarrassing. "Hey! Sam and Sammie!" I exclaimed.

Sam chuckled. "Dude, I know that we're best friends and all-" he said to Jesse. "But I didn't know that you were obsessed with me! Getting a mate with the same name" he said with a fake shudder.
