Lyle was many things But what he was Not
Was stupid, seeing this man standing In front
Of Aubrey and Kayla protectively and Judging by The Man's body language, Lyle
Guessed the man had been In the Military
Which added the Suspicion that Lyle had
That he would not win, the Military man also
Had a decent Muscle built as did Lyle but
Lyle has never been taught....on how to actually fight which makes His Muscles seem
Useless, that's part of the reason as to why
He beats On Aubrey, It Is because He knows
That she's not strong enough to stop Him,
"Who Is that?" Lyle heard The Military man ask Aubrey, "T-That's My Boyfriend Lyle"
For a split second, The Military man froze
Before Quietly asking, "Had....He Hurt you?"
Lyle shivered At the barely concealed venomous tone that the Military man used,
"N-No! Of course not!" Aubrey denied, But the slight Tremor In her voice betrayed her,
The Military man looked back at Lyle, his eyes Darken with anger, his hands curling
Into fists, Lyle shot a venomous glare at Aubrey which caused her to pale, "Hey, Look at me, not her" The Military man said, his voice protective, Lyle did look at The Military
Man, what The Military man Must've saw
In Lyle's eyes Must've amused him, Because
He chuckled,."You can Hurt women, But you don't want to take on someone your own size?" The Military man asked Lyle,
Lyle gritted His teeth as he began to walk forward, The Military man was correct In
His assumption about Lyle, but Lyle did not
Want to give the man the satisfaction, "Daniel, Don't! Kayla still needs her Father"
"Don't worry.... I'm not going to hurt him"
Lyle wasn't so sure about that, Lyle stopped
Just five inches from Daniel and Aubrey,
"So, does hurting women make you feel big?" Daniel asked, Lyle had Just now Noticed that Daniel was wearing a Police
Uniform as such, he could not actually fight
Lyle without risking losing his Job, Daniel
Raised one eyebrow as If to say, He knew
What Lyle was thinking, "Turn around and
Walk away" Daniel told Lyle, "Not without
My girlfriend and Kayla" Lyle replied as he gritted his teeth, "Do You want to go with him?" Daniel asked Aubrey, Aubrey Bit Her
Bottom Lip Thoughtfully, On the Pro side...
If she goes with Lyle....Daniel won't have a risk of losing His Job.....On the Con side
Lyle would most likely....hurt her.....Aubrey
Shook her head as she said, "I'll....go"
"Are You sure....?" Daniel asked Aubrey, Aubrey nodded as she bit her bottom Lip,
Daniel sighed as he stepped aside, "Okay...."
"Thanks....anyway" Aubrey whispered to Daniel, as Lyle and Aubrey were walking
Back to their house, Lyle leaned over to
Whisper In Aubrey's ear, "You're lucky that
You're holding our daughter" he growled,
Blood drained out of her face as she gave
A visible shiver, Not pleasantly, Once Lyle and Aubrey walked inside the house, "Go Put Kayla In Her bedroom, and Come meet me In Ours" Lyle growled as Aubrey nodded, Aubrey gently opened Kayla's Bedroom door
Once she gently lay Kayla On her bed, she
Leaned down to press a loving kiss on Kayla's forehead, Before she pulled away,
Tears welled Up In Aubrey's eyes as she thought about what awaited her....In Her and Lyle's Bedroom, Aubrey gently opened their
Bedroom door....there Sat Lyle on the edge
Of their bed, Aubrey's heart was Pounding
Against her Chest..."Sit down next to me"
Aubrey did so But with Hesitation, Lyle's
Right hand Clamped down On Aubrey's thigh, "Who...do You think you are?" Lyle growled, Aubrey winced as Lyle tighten his
Grip, "I-I was Just taking our baby for a walk!"
"Oh, were You?" Lyle asked, "Yes!" She replied as Tears began to steady roll down
Her cheeks, "Then....who was that man You
Were talking to?" Lyle asked, His Voice was
Filled with possessiveness, "H-He Is one of my patients! I-I'm sure that You heard me say His name!" Aubrey said, Lyle loosen His
Grip slightly, "Ah, That's THE Daniel?"
Aubrey nodded right before Lyle let go of
Her thigh completely, Before Aubrey could
React, Lyle's Other hand reached out to grip
Aubrey's chin tightly, "From now On, If You want to leave to go for a walk or anything like that, You let me know Immediately, Do You understand me?" Lyle growled, "Y-Yes!"
"Good, Now.... You're supposed to be going to work today right?" Lyle asked, "R-Right, I....Honestly forgot" Aubrey said, once
Aubrey was dressed In a Long Beautiful Bright Pink dress with a slit on the right side
She pressed a gentle kiss to Lyle's Lips before leaving the bedroom, For some reason....Lyle was feeling An Unfamiliar
Emotion In His chest....was that emotion regret!? Lyle shook his head to push the
Emotion down, He had never regretted
Anything, and he Is sure as hell not going to start now, He stood Up from the bed, he
Got dressed In a dark blue Sweater and dark blue Jeans, once he tied His Bright white
Tennis shoes, He left the bedroom to go downstairs to watch TV On the couch In the
Living Room, Even as the Night progressed
The emotion of Regret was still there! "Damn It...." He mumbled as Aubrey returned home
From work, "I'm back...." Aubrey whispered,
Lyle sighed, "How was Your day at work?"
For Just a moment, Aubrey looked surprised
Causing the Emotion of Regret to become
Stronger, "It....was Great" Aubrey said Hesitatedly, "do You want to watch TV With me for a little bit?" Lyle asked Aubrey, "Sure....?" Aubrey phased It like a Question
Still....Aubrey walked Into the Living Room
And Sat On the couch directly by Lyle, as the Movie Lyle and Aubrey were watching progressed, Whenever Aubrey was not
Looking, Lyle would look at her as the
Pang of Regret became stronger, What
Had he become? When He was around
Ten years old, He had watched as His
Father Glenn would beat His mother,
At the time he had been disgusted with how
Glenn was....so what Changed? What Made Lyle....become His Father? He was Not Quite sure, He Will plan to visit his Father the next
Day In the Nursing Home when He gets the
Chance because....there has to be some type of memory that He Is suppressing Subconsciously! Lyle was Brought out of
His thoughts by Aubrey, "Are You....okay?"
Lyle nodded slightly as his eyes dropped to
Her Lips, Aubrey's heart skipped a beat
"Can....I Kiss You?" Lyle asked, Lyle Is....asking Permission? Aubrey thought to herself, Her surprise Must have shown on
Her face because His eyes looked back to
The TV, "I'm...sorry" Lyle's Voice cracked as Tears well Up In His eyes, Aubrey's widen with shock....and Slight hope, "I haven't been the Boyfriend You deserved....and I Haven't been the Best Father that Kayla deserved....and for that....I am truly sorry"
The tone Lyle had used, suggested that he
Was Sincere which made Aubrey's eyes
Filled with tears, Without warning Aubrey Gently wrapped her arms around Lyle to Pull Him closer, "I-It'll take me awhile...to fully forgive you for everything that You've done to me....But I'm going to try....because I Miss my boyfriend who used to bring me flowers when I was In a Bad mood, I miss my Boyfriend who would sing to me, who would be gentle
With me during sex, Who would whisper sweet nothings into my ear for no other reason other than the fact that You wanted
To" Aubrey whispered, toward the end of her
Speech, Lyle was sobbing As he cuddled into
Aubrey, "I-I'm so Sorry, I-I'm so sorry" He would repeat, eventually as the sobbing
From Lyle and Aubrey subsided, Lyle Made a vow to be the Best Boyfriend and the Best Father that He could be as Darkness consumed him.
