Chapter 21: "The Longest Night"- Saturday, April 1st, 2017

With flashing fury, Olivia sped through the night. Her blood boiled. Her lungs lurched. Her stomach sank. Her sweet, wonderful wife had betrayed her. Natalia had cheated on her. But, more than that she might be pregnant...and from him.

After all was said and done, the house of cards she had so gently built had still come tumbling down. Olivia Spencer wasn't going to be gentle anymore.

***

She sat at the bar, drinking a Goose on the rocks. Burning her throat, the cool liquid soothed her nerves for the moment at least. She knew where to find them, because she had been here, with him, before. She knew all too well of his charming smile and kind eyes. You were supposed to be my friend.

Then, she heard it.

Her laugh.

God, how long had it been since she had last heard her joyful laughter bubble out like that? Olivia finished the rest of her drink in a gulp. She stood and turned around, wobbling a bit on her feet, the alcohol dulling her senses.

Then, she saw it.

Her hair.

God, how long had it been since she had felt that gorgeous silk through her fingers, against her sensitive skin? Olivia strode over to where they sat.

Then, she said it.

"You fuckin' piece of shit."

God, how long had it been since she'd been this mad at anyone, let alone him? She looked from him to her.

Then, she felt it.

God, how long had it been since she felt her old self peek out like this, even as she stared into the bottomless depths of her wife's eyes, wide and full of confusion?

Then, she did it.

She turned quickly away from her lover and raised her hand, tightly coiled like a rattlesnake ready to strike.

"Olivia, " Natalia softly spoke, trying not to spook her like she was a wild animal.

Tightly closing her eyes, Olivia Spencer flew her fist forward, solidly connecting with the rugged face before her, knocking Josh Lewis clear out of his chair and onto the floor.
