Title: She Needs to Know

She needs to know.
That was Mick’s first thought when Beth walked away from him after the paramedics pronounced Josh dead. Instead, like a coward, he’d watched her walk away and let her keep her distance. He actually worried that he might not ever see her again, so bumping into her at the police station had been like a gift from God.
“Beth,” he said in greeting, but with one look, she pushed past him. He called her name again, but still she continued on. So, he grabbed her arm and moved to stand in front of her. “Hey. Come on, Beth,” he pleaded. “This is ridiculous. I did everything possible to save him.”
“You did everything humanly possible,” she agreed, frustration in her tone.
Slightly angered, he closed the gap between them by a few inches, speaking softly. “I live every day…” he emphasized, “regretting what I am. I’m not about to subject Josh or anyone else to that fate, okay?”
She was on the verge of tears. “I’m trying really hard to understand, okay?” she countered, walking out of his reach.
Needs to know!
“Beth,” he called out, waiting for her to turn back.
The words sat perched on his lips.
I love you.
His mouth opened and formed the first syllable, only to come out, “I’ll see you.” He inwardly cursed himself for chickening out, casually adding, “Okay?” as if he was just a friend.
She needs to know, his mind repeated, finally conceding.
Another day. Soon.

Her mouth was so close, her full lips wet and parted. Mick lowered his head and pressed his lips to hers, kissing her deeply. Beth pressed closer to him, her arms tightening around his neck as her tongue tangled with his.
“Beth, Beth, Beth,” he murmured against her lips. He didn’t care if it was the drug; all that mattered was that he was touching her the way he’d always wanted too.
He felt amazing against her. Every nerve was tingling as his hands ran over her body. But she needed more, much more.
She pulled back, smiling when he moaned at the loss of contact.
“Come on Mick,” she whispered, running her hands down his chest to the front of his pants. “Join me…” she gave him a gentle squeeze before walking away.
Climbing the stairs she stared at Mick then entire time till he was out of sight. Mick shook his head then bit his lip… swallowing a groan when he heard the shower starting.
Decision made he hurried to the stairs, climbing them two at a time.
Beth beckoned him from inside the shower, “I need help with my dress,” she smirked.
Joining her Mick grabbed the straps and as he pulled them down decided for once to give in completely.

Just when Beth thought everything was going well between her and Mick, she had to come along. Beth somehow knew she had seen that face before - the face of beauty masking the pure evil beneath it. After long hours of research and deep concentration on her past flashes of memories, she realised the truth.
This was the woman who haunted her from her childhood. That woman was out to kill her. The same woman who had once been married to Mick.
Not if she could help it. But the first thing that she would have to do is see how Mick reacted to the fact that his ex-wife cheated death and was back to hunt her. “Will he even believe me? Or will he just think I’m jealous?” She wondered.
But she trusted him with her life and everything else. She would seek him out and they would take the next step together. Beth would no longer be the victim this time. This was a new beginning for them. He was her personal guardian angel who would always be by her side… forever.
