End of the Beginning Part 2

The relieved pair headed to the shower. Matthew leaned over to turn on the water. Jamie realized she would have to remove her wig or it would be ruined. Matthew looked over at her inquisitively. “It’s a wig; I have to take it off.” Jamie answered to the unspoken question. “I hope you don’t mind, my hair is still growing back.”

“I figured as much. It’s ok, I want to see what you look like without all the frills. I mean, I liked you before and you clean-shaven. I don’t think that will change.” Matthew replied encouragingly. Jamie nodded and removed her wig, revealing an inch of stubble. Matthew smiled sweetly. “You still look beautiful to me.”

Jamie beamed at Matthew. She was fully exposed now, and was relieved that Matthew felt that way. Matthew motioned and Jamie followed him into the steamy water. “Can I ask you something Jaime?”

“Anything” she replied.

“Well, I thought you were straight. What happened back there that changed you? I mean, I love the change but you must admit it’s dramatic.”

Jamie sighed. How was she going to answer that? She elected to tell the truth. “Well, I will tell you truth if you promise not to judge me by it. I was confused keep in mind.” Matthew nodded for her to continue. “Well, remember Chloe? The one who is marrying Josh?”

“Of course I remember them, they got together right about the time you left if I remember right.” Matthew said.

“Well, that was probably my fault. She was doing laundry and… and I forced her” she blurted out. “I mean it’s just so hard being in there, you know? And she was so condescending and, you know?”

Matthew was going to reach for the soap when she admitted this, but he just froze and looked at her. “You raped her! Ok, ok, I am going to be calm about this. I get the feeling there is more than that. She never reported it right? But she did have that mark around her neck. I always thought that falling asleep was an excuse. So I am going to let you continue before I shove you out of here. Continue.” he commanded. Jamie felt a rush of excitement as Matthew took on a more forceful tone.
