"Fuck me." Dan's head came up off the bed as he pushed Laura off his body. Blair could see the horror on his face when he saw her standing at the door. He had been caught with his pants down, or off, as it was in this case. Laura scrambled across the bed, pulling a blanket over her naked body. Her face was filled with shock, showing her cousin hadn't known of Blair's presence. The expression she wore was incredibly real and impossible to fake.
"No thanks. Looks like Laura has taken care of that for you." Blair was surprised how calm she sounded. When all she truly wanted to do was scream and shout and throw things. What would it accomplish? She would still have a broken relationship.
"Blair! What are you doing home today?" Dan's cock was wet and laying limp against his leg. Having his fiance walk in on him mustn't be a turn on, it would seem.
Blair lifted an eyebrow at him. "That's what you are worried about? Might be an idea to cover up."
Blair was watching Dan with narrowed eyes. She had loved him, but the person she saw now was ugly to her. It didn't matter anymore that he was very attractive. To her, he was ugly. No one should cheat on someone they claimed to love. Even if someone had held a gun to her head, she would have refused. It was a shame Dan hadn't felt the same. As far as she could see, Laura hadn't needed to force him. Hearing them talk during the act had told her that.
Blair put the bat down, resting it against the wall near the door. Just in case. She told herself that she wouldn't use it, but who knew? Crimes of passion that had to have come from somewhere. Normal everyday people committing a crime in the heat of the moment. So it was safer if she put it down. Blair then crossed her arms across her chest. Looking back to see Dan had gotten off the bed and was pulling on his work pants.
She flicked her eyes to Laura. The bitch now had a smug look on her face. It had replaced the look of shock. Why?
Blood was roaring in her ears as she came to terms with the total destruction of her personal life. She never wanted to see him again, but she and Dan both worked for Kingston. She had applied first. Dan hadn't joined the company until a year later.
Blair decided then and there she would not be leaving her job. It was her only concrete thing she could hang onto, then she was keeping it. It wasn't like they work directly together.
Dan took a step towards her, reaching out his hand. "Baby.."
Blair took a step back. "Don't you dare touch me?" Not only could she not stomach it, but who knows where that hand had been?
The venom in Blair's voice brought him up short. He turned to look at Laura before returning his eyes to her face. Blair knew she was pale. Who wouldn't be?
"You have to believe me. This was a onetime thing. It will never happen again. It meant nothing." Dan pleaded with her.
Blair could see the look on Laura's face. Even before seeing it, she knew he was lying. Dan had a tell. When he lied, his right eyebrow would go up. Before today, the lies had never been a big deal, just little things. Had she noticed it when he had talked about Laura in the past? Blair wasn't sure. Because sometimes the sub-conscious mind could even fool ourselves.
"Do you know Dan? It doesn't matter." Blair angled her chin up as her nails dug into her palm. "This one time was all it took."
"What.. No, Blair baby please, I love you." Dan tried to take her in his arms.
Blair moved quickly, picked up the bat, and swung it so the end pressed up against his chest, pushing him back and holding him at bay. "Don't even think about it."
Dan looked down at the bat, raising his hands back at his shoulder level. "Please, she seduced me. You know what a slut she is. I was missing you."
They both heard the gasp from the bed. Before Laura responded. "He's lying Blair. This has been going on for months. Soon after, he moved in."
"Shut up, you dumb bitch." Dan turned to yell at her. Before saying to Blair. "She is lying."
Blair shrugged. "Doesn't matter. It only took the one time Dan." She nudged him with the baseball bat. "Don't call Laura a dumb bitch. I may never forgive her for this, but you were the one in a relationship, Dan, not her." Blair could see Laura sliding out of the bed, scrambling around for her clothing, still holding the sheet to her breasts. "If you think she is a slut, what does that make you?" Blair knew she would not feel clean even if she had ten showers. This was going to take time.
Blair knew she couldn't deal with anymore right now. She needed to leave before they were both dressed. She needed to think, to process. Turning on her heel, she ran down the stairs. Quickly grabbing the suitcase, handbag. Blair only just remembered the briefcase as she was about to leave through the front door.
"You stupid slut, why did you have to say anything?" Dan's angry voice came from upstairs
Blair rushed to her desk, picked up the briefcase and stood at the front door, ready to leave. Knowing once she walked through it, she wasn't coming back. She had no idea where she was going, but anywhere was better than here.
Following Dan's insult came Laura's high-pitched squeal. "I'm not a slut Dan."
"You and your big mouth. You wanted this to happen, didn't you?" Dan accused.
Blair could hear the tears in Laura's voice. "You didn't mind my mouth when it was sucking your cock."
"Shh." Dan was worried she was hearing their argument. "You set me up, didn't you? You knew she was coming home."
"Dan I didn't know." Laura cried.
If she stayed any longer, both of them would have gotten dressed and then they would come down here, and she didn't want another confrontation.
Taking a deep breath, Blair stepped through the front door, ignoring Dan calling her name from inside the house.
