Resisting His Passion •Casualty•

005

Esmè woke in bed with Sam and groaned. She had remembered how she had ended up having sex with him after she had too much to drink. Esmè knew that they had a history. But she knew how he had treated her in the past. And she had her heart broken by him as he dumped her. And she knew that she didn't want that again.

Esmè stood up from the bed as she started to get dressed. Sam looked to her. "And where are you going?" He asked.

"Home. To wash off the smell of you. And the regret off of me. And then to work," Esmè said.

Sam looked to her and rolled his eyes. "Say what you want Esmè. But you and I know you didn't regret what we did. It was like old times again," he said.

Esmè rolled her eyes as she looked at him. "What you mean when you broke up with me for no reason? And yet you still haven't told me why. I think I deserve an answer as to why?" Esmè asked as she looked to Sam who didn't say a word. Esmè rolled her eyes. "See. And you still won't tell me. Last night was a mistake. And if you can't be honest with me, after all these years and tell me why I deserved to have my heart ripped out by you, then what is the point?" Esmè asked as she walked off.

Sam looked to her and sighed knowing the truth would hurt her more.

Esmè got to work and smiled as she saw Lexie. Lexie looked to her and frowned. "Are you okay?" Lexie asked.

Esmè sighed as she looked at her. "I don't know. I've had better days. And your dad is an idiot," Esmè said.

Lexie laughed and nodded. "I'm aware. Are you okay?" Lexie asked.

Esmè sighed and shrugged. "Depends on what you define as okay. I ended up sleeping with him. And then I asked him for answers and he won't give them to me. And I don't see why," Esmè said.

Lexie smiled. "I know that you're still in love with him. And I know that you've been through hell with him. But you deserve a lot better than my dad," Lexie said.

Esmè smiled slightly as she looked over at her. Esmè knew Lexie was right. And how Sam had treated her like crap. But she also knew that there was still feelings there. "Are you sure you're okay Lex? You look like crap," Esmè said.

Lexie rolled her eyes. "Thanks. I'm okay. I'm... I'm pregnant," Lexie said.

Esmè looked to her shocked. "Wow... congratulations. Are you okay?" She asked.

Lexie nodded and smiled. "I'm completely terrified," Lexie said as Esmè looked to her and smiled.

Esmè answered the door to the house and sighed as she saw Sam. "What do you want Sam? I'm not in the mood," Esmè said.

Sam looked to her and nodded. "Look. I know I have let you down before. But I want you back. I want another chance," Sam said.

Esmè rolled her eyes as she looked at him. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. "It's too late Sam. I just don't trust you," Esmè said as she slammed the door in his face.

But for how long could Esmè resist his advantages for?
