My Husbands Mistress

Chapter 11-The First Wife

Ian started browsing through channels looking serious while I sat on the couch just staring at his amazing figure
Snap out of it Krystal I thought to myself, you can't fall for a guy you just met, he could even be a Rick number two

"A walk to remember?" He suddenly said killing my thought and I glanced up
"What?" I questioned
He put the remote down and plopped next to me
"A walk to remember?" He asked again
I looked at him in disbelief, I have never met a man that was into those type of movies.
I smiled wide "you're into that?"
He shrugged and looked at me "hey I'll put my pride aside and admit to it, but this is one of my favorite movies" he said then turned his attention back on the TV as the movie started playing

Did god send me this man on purpose, he cooks, looks very good, he's very charming, and he is just soo-

"So why did you become a stripper?" He said still staring at the the flat screen TV.
I stared at him all wide eyed remembering the time I told him about my past
"Oh right" I said slapping my hand
He turned the sound down and put his knuckles under his chin and gave me his full attention

I tried to look away because I could feel my face getting hot "well.....you see my adoptive parents were very.... controlling....and abusive" I said hoping to god my voice doesn't start to quiver
He nodded his head and I continued "they controlled my every move, controlled who I talked to, my dad was alcoholic and my mom did drugs you know, they weren't perfect I never judged but it was just too much for a teenager you know?" I said looking up at him now and he continued on listening

"As a teenager I didn't know my parents were abusing me, I'd go to school with bruises...I just didn't tell anyone and-
"Does Lauren know?" He said cutting me off
"Hold on I'll get to it" I said smiling feeling comfortable because he seemed like he cared

"I knew once I turned 18 I'd be free..so when the day came I packed my stuff up and left, I saved up some money to last me a few days at a cheap hotel and since you know I wasn't really financially stable I got a job as a stripper and that's how I met Lauren, once we got close I told her about my childhood and what I went through and she was so comforting and I'm just lucky to have her, my adoptive parents tried to contact me but I made up my mind that I was disowning them" I said finally finishing

He stayed silent for a few seconds before holding my hands "thanks for sharing that with me, I bet it was hard to go through that"

I felt tears run down my cheek and I didn't even realize it
And he grabbed me into a hug where my face was all snuggled up in his neck which smelled so good
"You are so strong, I don't know how you do it" he whispered
He let me go and grabbed my face and for a second I thought he was going to kiss me but he just wiped my tears with his thumbs "am I the second one you told this to?" He asked

And that had me thinking, since I married Rick not once was he interested about my family or even asked about them, all he knew was that I was adopted he never asked what happened

I pulled away from him and wiped my face "yeah, hey let's not get into this too much let's watch the movie we are missing the best parts" I said trying to glue my eyes to the TV but I could feel his eyes burning onto me

"Is that all you wanted to tell me?" He asked
"What do you mean?" I asked a little stunned worried if he knows about Rick because I really wasn't ready to tell him about that, I was really fighting on not thinking about him
He shrugged "I mean there should be more to the story...like a happy ending?"

I gave him a half smile "the story continues" I said
And he gave me a quick smirk before pulling my head on his shoulders and my heart started rapidly beating but then I remembered what he said earlier...he wasn't looking for anyone
