She was crying. Not from pain, but from pure pleasure. She had just stomped on another man's heart and she was savoring his heartache. The woman was a bitch, but she was hot and had a great rack and like so many others, Mark fell for her body and deceptively sweet smile and ignored the rest. This was something that not even he was aware of, mesmerized by her body much like a sailor to the call of a siren he had spent the last three months marching to his destruction.
"But I thought you were a virgin!" Mark said in the living room as Amy's tears turned to laughter. Amy had never let Mark penetrate her, but had, when they first started dating, given him a hand job.
"Yeah, about that... It turns out that I have had sex with 26 people." At this point Mark wanted to get up but he was so drunk he could hardly move his arm. Amy continued although she had trouble speaking because she was fighting back the laughter. "But don't worry; only six of them were while we were dating and only two of them were your friends."
Mark woke late the next morning to a trashed apartment and an aching neck. He reached for the cigarettes that lied between empty bottles of beer only to find them all broken in half by that bitch. He lit the remaining stump of one and walked into the kitchen and popped open a can of Coke. He felt like shit and was trying hard not to think about last night. There was a message on the answering machine.
"Mark, are you there? This is Amy. I'm really sorry about last night and I don't know why I said those things." Then her voice shifted from remorse to bitch squared. "Oh yeah, that's because they were all true! P.S. Phillip just fucked me!" With that Mark's hand involuntary contracted around the nearly full can of Coke which sent a large portion of it flying into the air and onto the floor. Phillip was one of Mark's longtime friends who if given the opportunity, would fuck almost anything moist. God she was a bitch.
Leaving the Coke on the kitchen floor, Mark walked into the bedroom and collapsed on the bed. It smelt like sex.
Recovery
It was six months later and Mark was sitting in dark a room, clouded with marijuana smoke and talking to an extremely skinny girl who Mark thought was attractive, even after taking his level of intoxication into consideration.
"Do you ever just feel like pussin' out and picking up a needle?" At first Mark did not know what she was talking about. She moved closer to him and had anyone else in the room been awake they would have known she was into him. "People spend there whole lives looking for fulfillment and purpose. I have happiness in my purse."
Mark had learned throughout the night that Emily was just as lost as he was. He wanted purpose and meaning but everything he did felt hollow. "I know, but heroin?"
"Don't think of it as heroin, but as salvation." And with that she stood up, picked up her purse, and led Mark to the bedroom. Mark was having trouble understanding the grip that this woman had on him. He was, as people often do when under the influence, making a decision to do something that they would never do while sober. He pondered this as he watched Emily take off her long sleeve shirt, and then her pants and panties. She sat down on the bed Indian style and began preparing a dose.
