CHAPTER 11
I relaxed after that, into the scenery, into the moment and our dinner dragged into several hours. We were in no hurry to leave and the waiter wasn't rushing us. We watched the sunset over the water, watched the lights come up in the marina.
It was a beautiful night. And after the older couple came up and spoke to us, I felt better about Sam than I had in months and months. In celebration, I probably had too many drinks. Talking about things, about life and our boat trip earlier that day, what we wanted to do tomorrow, normal things.
But one thing Sam never talked about was his drug use and how he'd fly off the handle or about why we were on this trip, this make-up trip after he knocked me unconscious and left me alone, beaten and bloody.
"Wow, I haven't had this much fun in a long time." I said to Sam, it was true. I hadn't felt like this with him in months.
"Good, you deserve it, and I mean it." He's got a serious look on this face, I wonder what he's thinking.
"I've missed this Sam," I say. "it's good to have him back." I look up into his eyes.
His face goes still, he's staring intently at me and his eyes almost flash. "I'm the same as I ever was." He looks like he's trying to understand what I said, as if it were nonsense or something.
"Why would you say that?" he's grabbed my hand, and he's holding it too tight. His brows draw down and his face changes. "Damn, Sasha, can't we just have a good time? Why did you go there?"
I know I've made a mistake, damn it and he's getting angry. I can see it working its way across his face, into the way he's sitting. I can feel it in how he's squeezing my hand. I try to pull it away from him, "Sam, stop, that hurts."
"Why'd you have to ruin this? Why couldn't we just enjoy this? I did all this for you."
"I know you did. You know I am glad that things have been more like they used to be. I just wanted you to know I appreciate it. "
"Other than that last time, I've been fine, and I thought we were fine." He says, conveniently forgetting the times he'd hit me a time or two, or shoved me down, bruised me, as if those weren't important. I don't understand how, I could never forget.
This makes me angry. How was this fine? How could he think that any of that was fine? Shit. "Sam, lately things haven't been fine. I'm not sure how you thought things were." I realize my mistake as soon as I've finished speaking.
He abruptly gets up and comes to my side and pulls me up, his large hand almost encircling my arm and I can feel his fingers bite in, he begins to drag me outside.
"Sam, stop, you're hurting me. Where are we going?" I'm hoping
