My life had become really crap, not just any crap but real shitty and crap. I had just, actually this second, walked out on my cheating fiance. I felt stupid it was not even the first time he had cheated nor the second but the third. The fucking third.

He now thought he was something special because he was the fastest rising surgeon in the state so he could not keep his dick in his pants. Because of who he was the girls would drop their knickers for him as quick as a speeding bullet and he could not say no.

We had met when he came to England on holiday, It was a whirlwind romance and I fell completely in love with him. He was charming, whitty, very good looking and that accent. I think every girl has a foreign accent she finds sexy and his American twang just did it for me. He was tall, well built with short dark blonde hair and baby blue eyes. Before I knew what was happening I had packed my entire life into two suitcases, sold my apartment, said goodbye to my job, my family and my friends and had moved to America to be with him.

Now, five years later, I was sitting on the steps of our, well his, luxury town house crying.

'Bastard', I said to myself through clenched teeth, 'fucking bastard.' Just then the front door opened.

'Come back inside Hayley. Let's talk.' he touched my shoulder, 'She meant nothing. I was drunk and it was just sex. It's you I love babe.'

I had heard it all before. I stood up without turning around and got into my rust bucket of car, as he called it and started the engine. I loved my car, yes it was old and it was rusty but I had bought it with my money, my own money and that fact was important to me. As the car pulled away I heard him shout 'You'll be back, you can't leave me.'

'Bastard' I thought and then 'Shit' I had only $250 in my account and no where to stay.  I had the keys to work I suppose I could stay there. I worked for a local small town lawyer, she only took on cases that she believed in that helped those that were destitute and broke and so she was almost broke herself. That was another thing he hated, he hated me working there. He felt it was beneath him to have his future wife working for a pauper Charity lawyer that was a spinster. He had actually said that to me one day. Her name was Marian, she was in her late forties and she was an angel to me. She had been telling me to leave him for the past year, 'Once a cheater always a cheater.' she told me and she was right.

I stopped the car as the lights were on red, outside it was dark and raining and then a heard a commotion. Two men were fighting in the street right next to my car and they were really, really going for it. One picked the other up and actually threw him onto the bonnet of my car and I screamed. The man lying on my bonnet turned his head round and looked right at me. He had jet black floppy hair, you know that thick floppy hair you want to run your hands through and green, green eyes. Quite hot actually I thought and then he smiled at me and my actually heart fluttered. It felt as if he had heard me.

The other man then dragged the hot man off my bonnet and onto the floor and started to kick him and the hottie was not fighting back, he was just lying there letting this man kick the shit out of him. For some reason I saw red, I wanted to protect him and I had no idea why but I was going too I knew that much.

I jumped out of my car and took off my slipper, slipper I thought I've left the house wearing slippers, and started to hit the man on the head with it.

'Leave him alone you flaming bully' I shouted secretly praying he does not turn around and whack me 'I've called the police'

The bully stopped turned around and laughed, 'Thank God, you are not wearing steel boots. You are hitting me with a slipper Lady.' He turned to the hottie who was now on his knees and said 'This is not over.' and walked away. I turned to the hottie who was still on his knees and he looked right up at me and smiled. It seemed as if time had stopped he took my hands in his and whoa I felt as if an electric surge had gone right through me. His eyes looked around my face and I felt like I was being pulled, I wanted him and I wanted him right there on the pavement.

He stood up 'Thank you, I thought he was going to kill me. I'm the one that should be angry he is sleeping with my girl friend, well now my ex-girlfriend'

My heart lept he had been lied to and hurt just like me, he smiled at me extended his hand ' 'I'm Winston'

'Hayley and I work for lawyer so if you need a good one or a witness I can help.' and I gave him my card.

'I have a feeling you can help me Hayley' he replied. God his voice was smooth and so God damn sexy, he was sexy what was wrong with me I had just left my fiance not even an hour ago and now I was contemplating asking this hot stranger to come to the nearest hotel with me and shag my brains out.

He laughed, 'Penny for your thoughts' he said smirking.

'What' I answered, it was like he had read my mind.

'You looked in a trance'

I became suddenly embarrassed by the situation, 'I have to go,' and I turned around got into my car and drove away when I looked into my rear view mirror he had gone. I could not sleep that night he was constantly running through my mind and the thoughts I was having about him were not pure, not pure at all.
