A Night Of Passion, Chapter 15 (Evian)
by ejcrane
“Eve? Is everything okay?” Tc asked as she entered their home.
“Okay? Everything’s just PERFECT!” she smiled and then went to her room.
“Did something happen at Julian’s?” Tc asked his son.
“They had a fight over me…”
“Oh,” Tc nodded, “I better go see how she is…”
Tc walked to the back and entered their room.
“I heard about you and Julian.”
Eve looked up from the chair she was sitting in.
“You…you did?” she swallowed.
Just how much did he hear?
“Yes,” he knelt before her, “I just want you to know that I’m sorry…” he
shrugged, “I don’t know if that makes you feel any better, but I am.” He
smiled.
“Ohh, Tc,” she sat up and hugged him, “Thank you…”
And when Eve pulled to look in his eyes, something just came over her and
she found her lips planted on his.
“Oh, Eve…baby,” Tc moaned out as he pulled Eve up out of the chair and began
undressing her, as she began undressing him.
The two made their way over to the bed where Tc gently laid her down, and
then made his way on top of her…
“Oh, Julian…” she moaned out as Tc kissed her neck, “Julian! Yes, make love
to me…I need you so much!”
Tc stopped what he was doing when he heard another name come from his wife’s
lips. He then pulled back and looked to her face.
Eve still had her eyes closed and was smiling away, waiting for him to make
love to her.
Only that “him” wasn’t him.
Tc got off of her and sat at the edge of the bed, his back to her.
“Tc?” she sat up, “What’s the matter?” she began placing kisses on his shoulder.
“Eve,” he shrugged her off, “Stop.” He shook his head.
“What’s the matter?” she now became concerned.
“Well, for starters…you called me, ‘Julian’.”
“I did not!” she panted and then looked around.
Did I, she asked herself.
“Yeah, you did,” he said and began putting on his pants, “You still love
him, don’t you?” Tc asked as he looked down at her.
“What?! What are you talking about? Where did you get this from, Tc?”
“Eve, you just called me ‘Julian’. I’m not a damn fool…”
“I wasn’t calling you Julian…it’s just…my mind was still with him…since we
had an argument…”
“Well…if I believed that then I’d be a fool,” he raised a brow.
“Tc, please!” she then stared after him, “What are you doing? Where are you
going?”
“Eve, please…I can’t stay here,” he scoffed, “Why would I stay married to
a person who is still in love with another man?”
“I’m not in love with Julian, Tc…I love you…”
“You know, I believe you…I believe that you love me, but quit lying to yourself,
Eve. You’re still in love with Julian.” He looked into her eyes, “I’ll give
J.J. a call tonight…” he walked to the bedroom door and opened it, “Bye,
Eve…”
And he was gone. Tc left her home, her life…their marriage.
Then why did she feel so sad?
Shouldn’t she be happy that she was finally free to be with the one man she
had ever loved in her whole entire life? Shouldn’t she be happy that Tc didn’t
hate her for that?
She didn’t know what to feel as she sat there in her bed in only her bra
and underwear staring at the closed bedroom door.
“I HATE YOU!” he growled, “THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!
I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU!”
Julian stared back at the boy in front of him. The boy was his son, and he
had no idea what he was talking about.
“Calm down, son.” He said in a gentle voice, “What’s going on? Why are you
so hysterical?”
“DON’T CALL ME ‘SON’! I’M NOT YOUR SON…MY FATHER IS T.C. RUSSELL!” J.J. shouted,
“AND BECAUSE OF YOU HE LEFT MY MOM!”
“What?”
“DON’T PRETEND LIKE YOU DIDN’T KNOW! YOU DID THIS ON PURPOSE SO YOU COULD
HAVE HER FOR YOURSELF!”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. But if you hate me like you say
you do…”
“I DO.” J.J. glared at Julian.
“…well, why don’t I just disappear from your life?”
“I WISH.”
Those words broke his heart.
“Your wish is my command.” Julian simply said and walked to the desk drawer.
J.J.’s eyes widened as Julian walked to him with a gun.
He shot it once towards the opened door that led outside.
“It works. Here.” He handed the gun to his son, “If you hate me like you
say you do; make me disappear from your life, for destroying your life…because
that’s what I’ve done, right?”
J.J. looked down at the gun in his hand and thought about it. His mind went
back to when Tc left their house, and his angered was fueled again.
“Yes.” He said through gritted teeth and pointed the gun at Julian.
Outside, both Eve and Abby were getting off their cars at the same time when
they heard the first gunshot that Julian did.
Eve gasped when she saw J.J.’s bike thrown in the drive, and she rushed into
the mansion, with Abby just behind her.
They could hear people in the library and assumed that that’s where the gun
went off at.
“Open the door!” Eve yelled as she turned the knob and pushed, but her pleas
were unanswered.
“You have to do it like this, Eve…” Abby took over and opened the door just
as J.J. pulled the trigger.
Both Eve and Abby screamed at the sight before them!
J.J. still had the gun pointing at Julian after he fired it. And Julian was
standing there with his eyes closed tightly.
“J.J! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!” Eve rushed to her son and turned him towards
her.
“J.J.! How could you?” Abby asked, “You could’ve killed my dad…OUR dad!”
she looked to him with disappointment.
“No.” Julian finally said, “Don’t be upset with J.J. He just hates me.” He
laughed, “My son hates me enough to shoot me.” He joked.
“JULIAN! HOW CAN YOU JOKE AT A TIME LIKE THIS?! AND WHY WOULD YOU GIVE HIM
A LOADED GUN!” Eve screamed angrily, “HE COULD’VE SHOT HIMSELF…DID YOU EVER
STOP TO THINK ABOUT THAT?!”
“Oh, calm down, Eve…” he rolled his eyes as he walked to J.J. and yanked
the gun from him, “…this gun is just for scare. It’s loaded with blanks.
Look,” he held the gun to his stomach and fired.
Julian humped over and dropped the gun.
“What the…” he fell to his knees and spit up blood.
“JULIAN!” Eve left her son’s side and rushed to Julian who was lying faced
down on the floor in a pool of his own blood.
