Flashbacks

Sorry do being awful at updating recently, I've been really busy but I swear I will get back on track 💖
Fp POV:
"What happened to your eye?" She asks in a gasp. It's clear from the bruise I was punched so I come up with the whole fight excuse.
"Uh I got into a fight at the Wyrm" I say as she leads me into the house and to her spotless room before she replied.
"Who with?" She questions touching my eye and I try not to let the pain show.
"One of the serpents, their new so you won't know them" I lie and she seems to buy it.
"Well I did have something planned for us tonight but I guess we should look after this" she sighs.
"What exactly did you have planned?" I ask and her face forms a smirk.
"Well I was just thinking, I'm done with the PG 13 grope sessions" she replies in a slow seductive tone.
"I would hardy call what we do PG 13" I reply.
"It's tame for me, you know that" she reminds me.
"But since you got all beat up it will have to wait" she sighs letting go of me and tucking herself into bed.
"Hey my eye is busted not anything else" I tell her and she tilts her head at me contemplating her next move.
"Hmm we will have to see won't we" she says standing up and untying her silk robe leaving her in lacy burgundy lingerie.
"I'm thinking a full body examination is in order" she suggests placing her arms over my shoulders and linking them behind my neck as mine fall to her waist.
Before either of us know it we are intertwined and catching our breaths. She takes longer to come down than me so I run my fingers along her bare shoulder whilst she does.
"Remind me again why I decided not to do that with you?" She breathes.
"Something about pregnancy" I remind her hoping she wouldn't regret it.
"Screw it, we used protection" she laughs stroking my chest now.
"So how am I?" I ask and she raises an eyebrow.
"My full body exam, how did it go?" I explain further and she catches on.
"You will need to have daily appointments with me and we will do some physio" she instructs laughing a little.
"That can be arranged" I reply knowing exactly what she's implying.
"So now I've got you all vulnerable, do you want to tell me what really happened to your eye?" She asks expectantly.
"I told you what happened" I lie. I feel terrible having to lie to her but I can't get her involved and the last thing I want is her worrying about me or even worse people finding out she's my weak spot and using her to get to me.
"And that's what really happened?" She asks suspiciously.
"Look Alice I told you what happened if you can't trust me then-" I snap regretting it instantly because I feel her whole body tense up next to me. I'm only getting defensive because it makes it harder for me when she questions it. I would love to tell her everything but I simply can't.
"Look I'm sorry, I guess I just don't want you to think I'm lying to ayou" I lie once again feeling like a terrible person for doing so.
"I'm sorry I should trust you, I know you wouldn't lie to me, it's just I've been lied to for so long it's hard to tell if anyone's telling the truth anymore" she says breaking me heart because I'm just as bad as everyone else for lying to her. Except I'm doing it only to protect her but she will never understand that.
"Don't be, it's my fault I shouldn't have snapped" I assure her feeling terrible for everything I'm keeping from her.
"Well why don't we both make up for it" she whispers seductively into my ear. I don't really want to sort through our problems with sex but it means less questions and it will help us both forget our problems so I give in hovering over top of her and kissing her neck as she giggles bringing her lips to mine.
Somewhere in the middle of our heated moment my hands go to her neck for leverage a move I know she used to love.

Alice POV:
As soon as his hands go around my neck for some reason I panic. I know for a fact I used to love this but with the recent events of my husband trying to choke me and not in a good way I guess its too much. I mean I barley even trust anyone touching me normally bar Fp of course. I'm different now, I flinch a lot and tense when people raise their voices to me. It's all just come down to the situations I've been put under I guess. My brain seems to trick me and instead of Fp on top of me, it's Hal all over again. I feel myself push him off me and he falls into he ground.
"Get off me!" I hear myself shout hiding my head in my hands.
He stands up quickly rushing to my side and checking me over.
"Did I hurt you?" He asks worriedly.
"Mom?!" I hear Betty shout as the door handle jiggles. At this point I'm way too shocked at my actions and the major flashbacks I got to even respond.
Out of the corner of my eye I see him duck under my bed in time for Betty to come in.
"Mom are you okay?" She asks luckily not turning the lights on. I manage to find my words after a few second of silence.
"Uh yeah, bad dream" I tell her.
"Do you want me to sleep with you?" She offers in the middle of a yawn.
"Your tired and have school tomorrow baby, Now go back to bed I'll be fine" I reply and I can see her nod and turn to leave.
"Night Mom" she turns back before leaving.
"Night Betty" I return watching her close the door.
Fp instantly rushes back to my side.
"Are you okay?" He asks worriedly.
"I uhh, just not the neck" I explain.
"Did I hurt it?" He asks.
"No, it just. Hal tried to. And I can't. Just bad memories" I explain making no sense but he seems to get it because he wraps his arms around me making me feel the safest I've ever felt.
"That bastard really hurt you didn't he?" He asks and I nod into his chest.
"I won't let anything happen to you again" he promises but we both know as much as he wants to keep that, it's out of his control.
