Not Me, Not Us
Natasha let her tears fall from her face and onto the floor.
“Baby,” Lukas said. “Please tell me what’s happened”.
Natasha’s favorite skirt was dilapidated. Her hair rugged. Her makeup was smeared. She still had blood dripping down her thighs.
“Was it him?”
Natasha slowly nodded, letting a few more tears fall.
“I swear,” Lukas bellowed. “I’ll kill him!”
Natasha grabbed Lukas’ right arm, bringing him closer to her.
“Don’t worry babe. I’m right here,” Lukas whispered.
She shoved her face against his chest.
“I’m sorry I didn’t get here fast enough.”
She pulled his hand toward hers, interlocking them.
“If the cops don’t find him first, I promise you he’s a dead man walking”.
She pulled her bra up as much as she could. She turned her head looking for her shirt.
“Here, I’ve got it.”
Natasha pulls her top over her head. She slightly nudged Lukas back a bit and then jumped down from the counter and then immediately falls to the floor.
“Tash…” Lukas whispered. “Here, let me help”.
Natasha stands and waddles to the table where her purse is. She gathers her items off the floor and turns to Lukas.
“Yeah, let’s go.”
