As Lizzie finished wiping down the kitchen counter after cleaning up the remainder of the party once all her guests left, she decided to settle down with a good book and read in bed for the night before going to sleep. David wasn't much of a reader, so he always either watched a sports channel on mute or flipped through pictures on Facebook and Instagram.
That was exactly what he was doing when she entered their bedroom after shutting all the lights in the kitchen and living room. She felt so proud to have cleaned up everything right after instead of leaving some of it for morning. She knew she wouldn't be able to sleep knowing that parts of her house would have uncleaned pots and pans or cup stains on the tables. David assisted her in the beginning until she told him to go shower and leave everything else up to her. Though she loved him dearly, she liked cleaning and picking up on her own, because honestly, no one except her mother was as thorough as she was.
She stood at the door of the bedroom for a minute, leaning into the frame as she stared at the sexiest man she knew. He was shirtless, with both arms over his head, watching a muted football game.
"Hey, babe," she said as she snuggled next to him, laying her head on his shoulder. "That was a wonderful proposal."
He kissed her forehead and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. " I hope so. You know I'm not a romantic guy, but you somehow bring it out of me."
She turned to place a light kiss on his lips. " You're amazing, you know that?"
He continued to gaze into her eyes, his own sparkling. " A bunch of people seem to think so too. My sister already posted the video up on Instagram."
Lizzie sat up straight. "Are you for real? " She shook her head, smiling. "Why am I surprised? Gia's an amazing instagramer. She probably has that thing hash tagged to death."
"Probably," David now said absentmindedly as his focus now turned back to football.
Lizzie untangled herself from underneath his arm and headed towards the connecting bathroom, needing to at least take a quick shower again after sweating a bit while entertaining her guests outside. Also, she planned to put on her new lingerie set she bought yesterday. That was sure to have him quickly shut off the t.v. and make sweet love to her all night long.
She instinctively took her phone with her to the bathroom to check up on how many people liked and commented on Gia's video. As she took off her clothes and threw them in the dirty hamper, she tapped on the screen and opened up Instagram. Lizzie's interest was piqued when she saw a notification that she had a direct message.
Once she clicked on that, her stomach dropped and the hairs on her arm stood up as a cold feeling hit her in the gut. She sat on the covered toilet to keep her heart rate steady and prevent herself from falling. She knew she was unsteady on her feet.
Jessica- David's ex- just messaged her. And the message was anything but nice.
