Notes

: Hi there, I'm Sarah, 20! As for how I look: I have brown shoulder length hair, my eyes and eyebrows are the same as my hair. My skin is really pale but in the summer I have a pink tan line across my cheeks and the bridge of my nose. I am pretty tall for a girl, at 5'10''. My body type is skinny/fit. My legs are the most toned part of me.

You never got along with your brother, he was cruel and narcissistic but somehow he managed to score me as his wife. We dated for 3 years and then we got married last spring. While dating he was nice to me, convincing me he was a decent person but all of that changed last year. Tom's true colors showed. He began to be controlling and abusive. You watched me go from being an active and happy person to a shell. My family is in a different state and I haven't been able to see them for a while now. Whenever I am at your families events I am timid and shy. It's heartbreaking to watch. Tom invited you today to watch a football game. You are settling in when I come home from work in my scrubs as I work as a nurse. I look tired and worn down "Sarah! good you're home!" Tom yells out harshly. (Please continue after describing yourself!)

Stranger: Reading

You: Thanks, me too

Stranger: Well?

You: If you're not a fan of mine, then I am down to hear your ideas

You: I am fairly detailed and flexible

Stranger: I find the idea interesting but the idea of cheating on a brother seems a little weird to me. Just thinking of a way to justify that and how we'd end up together.

You: Maybe it's your best friend from highschool?

You: and you didn't really notice how badly he treats women until you saw the change in me after we married

Stranger: Yeah I like that.

You: I'd be playing 26 ish, Tom would be your age

Stranger: "You were supposed to be home earlier and get my dinner ready. Jake is over and he is hungry " He yells out. " I told you not to work if you can't tend to my needs" He shouts. I felt a little awkward hearing that and excused myself to get some water. I find you in the kitchen and I come over, gently rubbing your back. " Hey I never said I was hungry and stuff. I was just asking him if we should order " I tell you softly.

You: "I know I'm sorry Hun, I got held up, you know how it is lately, no one wants to work these shifts." I sigh trying to reason with him and go to the kitchen. I tune out my thoughts, going into autopilot, getting some stuff from the fridge. "Oh it's okay Zach, I'll be quick" You watch my shoulders tense when you approach me and then I wince when you touch me, it's very quiet but you can hear it well enough. I roll up my sleeves and wash my hands "Just relax or something, it's alright. I like cooking" I start deboning some chicken.

Stranger: "You sure? You look tired as fuck " I reply, keeping my voice low. I move to go get a beer from the fridge. " Hey you know how you were mentioning you had that nursing conference training thing in Riverton? I have to travel there on work too. Wanna maybe drive down together? " I ask hesitantly.

You: "That's just what every girl likes to hear" I force a smile, cutting up some vegetables to make a quick stir fry. When you mention the conference my gaze darts around the room, making sure Tom isn't within earshot "I.. I don't think I can go, Tom's been missing me too much,. I've been working a lot"

Stranger: "You know I didn't like mean it that way. You're still beautiful. Its just that you're phsyically tired to cook " I tell you trying to defend my earlier statement. " Well we were just talking and that's the gameweek at college. And he was thinking of flying down with Matt and the other guys. I was just telling him I couldn't join him because of this work trip "

You: "Oh I didn't know, I guess I would be free to go to the conference" I smile a bit more genuinely now and prep the pan with some garlic, ginger, and oil. My posture relaxes while I cook but then Tom steps in, grabbing another beer from the fridge. "Jake, what are you doing here?" He pushes you shoulder "come on, lets go watch the game"

Stranger: "Just checking with her how her day was " I tell him as I regretfully walk away with the beer in hand. "Text me " I mouth the words to you as you look back as we go. We sit there on the couch and he makes you come and serve us food while we watch the game.

You: I nod but we both know I won't, Tom reads all my messages and I would never risk being caught talking to one of his best friends, especially about a trip. When I serve you food I am dead silent, just making sure you both have access to anything you need. I clean up the kitchen and then go upstairs, only now able to change out of of my work clothes. I shower, taking my time, it's one of the only times I feel like I can get time for myself. Tom scoffs when he hears the water running "I swear, it's like she doesn't understand how water bills work" he laughs with his chest

Stranger: I knew you wouldn't text, but I didn't know how else to plan our trip without Tom being around us. " You sound excited for your tip back to the old college? " I smile at him as I rub my full stomach. " Not inviting Sarah along? " I ask curiously. " A week without sex and all guys around, sounds kinda lame don't you think? "

You: "Who said anything about no sex?" he laughs again, too loudly and eats up the food I made hungrily. I didn't even eat myself, it's been difficult having an appetite lately. I shower for a while, at least 30 minutes. I pull on some pajama pants and a long sleeve, braiding my hair and cuddling up in bed, enjoying the soft sheets and some privacy

Stranger: "What do you mean? " I ask surprised. I knew he was a little unkind to you but I thought he was loyal. Atleast you seemed to give me that idea " I thought you said it was jsut a boys trip and the wives weren't coming along? " I ask him puzzled.

You: He feels the judgement and quickly goes back on his word "Oh Jake, I was only kidding" He gets nervous. "It will just be a boys trip, sometimes a man needs one of those". He downs his beer, getting tipsier by the minute. The more he drinks, the louder he gets, yelling at the tv. It's awkward since this isn't even a party, its just the two of you

Stranger: "Hahah I thought as much " I chuckle and slap his thigh. " Well I better get going. Its late and you look like you've drunk enough for one night huh? " I tease him as I take the empty beer bottles to leave on the kitchen counter, ready for the trash tomorrow.

You: He stays on the couch, not bothering to help you. He's really turned into a disgusting person, it's difficult to accept him like this. It's easy to see how he can get if he's in a bad mood. You watch Tom basically pass out on the couch

Stranger: I tip toe up to the the bedroom and knock softly incase you were undressed. I push the door open and see you curled up with a book. " Tom passed out on the couch. " I tell you so that you're worried about me being here. "I've cleaned up, so you don't have to worry about that. Just thought I'll let you know before I call an Uber and head home. "

Stranger: so that you're not worried*

You: I sit up, a little flustered. I quickly push up the collar up my shirt, feeling the need to cover up. "Oh thank you, you really didn't have to.. Was the food okay?" I ask, relieved by your polite and careful tone, it feels like a hug, even though you are meters away

Stranger: The cleavage disappears as you push the collar up. " Yeah you're an insane cook. No wonder Tom put on all that weight" I laugh as I approach the foot of the bed. " Ah don't worry about it. You were tired, its the least I could do. Do you want me to bring him up to bed or leave him on the couch ?"

You: "Oh no, best not to move him" i force a small laugh and get out of the bed, slipping on a hoodie and tying my hair up in a bun "Let me drive you home? Uber's are expensive nowadays" I offer, clinging to your kindness, wanting to just feel less alone

Stranger: "Are you sure? I don't want to get you into toruble with him " I smile. I was wearing a simple V-neck t-shirt, jeans and slippers on my feet. We head down and out the back before walking down the driveway to where your car was parked.

You: 'I'm positive, I have at least till 2 am until he crawls up the stairs" I quietly grab my keys and start my car, turning the seat warmers for both of us. I seem to look much better the second I leave the house. I drive just under the speed limit, stretching my time with you. "I would be taking a plane to Riverton, my employer is covering it" I tell you softly

Stranger: (It would have been nice to know what you were wearing?)

You: (Ah I mentioned, the pajamas from earlier and then I pulled a hoodie over on top to be warm while driving )

Stranger: (Yeah but Pajamas are a broad term)

Stranger: I was surprised to see you this chirpy this late in the night. I glance at my watch seeing that we had a few hours before the clock reached two. "Oh, I was actually supposed to fly too, But I kinda was going to change my plans to give you company. I wonder if we'd be on the same flight " I muse out loud as my hand rests on your thigh.

You: (Long plaid pajama pants, a long sleeve dark grey cotton shirt, the hoodie is a volleyball team hoodie from a few years ago)

Stranger: (Got it)

You: "Who knows, maybe" I fantasize, it would be nice to not feel so lonely. I flinch a little when you touch my thigh and get flustered, pulling my leg away as much as I can while driving, I get quiet. My expression is similar to what it was around Tom. "Well.. I.. I look forward to see you there then"

You: "Who knows, maybe" I fantasize, it would be nice to not feel so lonely. I flinch a little when you touch my thigh and get flustered, pulling my leg away as much as I can while driving, I get quiet. My expression is similar to what it was around Tom. "Well.. I.. I look forward to see you there then"

Stranger: I didn't pursue your leg when you pulled it away, maybe I over stepped my limits I thought to myself. I nod as you drop me off " I look forward to seeing you too Sarah " I smile. I give you a hug and a quick peck on the cheek, before I head into my place.

You: I hug you back a little tighter than you hug me, hanging on despite the awkwardness of the positioning in the car. My cheek warms up when you kiss it "Have a goodnight" I tell you softly and drive back home, taking my time. I open the door as quietly as I can but feel my whole body tense when Tom calls for me (feel free to play him)

Stranger: "Where the fuck were you " He mumbles in this drunken haze " Is this the time of night to go for a walk " He groans as he pulls his pants down and walks over to you his cock swinging between his legs. He pushes you against the wall and asks you to spread your legs as he stands behind you.

You: I wince and push back, getting out of his hold. "Stop, you're drunk. I was just driving Zach home, there were no ubers around" I lie partially. "Put your pants back on "

Stranger: (Jake*)

You: (Oops >.< Sorry!)

Stranger: "So what. " he says pulling your pants down, dropping them to your ankles. "So you'd rather drop some randome guy home instead of being here to tend to your husband's needs? " he grunts. Without even cehcking if you're wet he puts his dick into you. Luckily for you he was still limp after the drinking so it was soft but inside of you partially.

You: I squirm for a moment and then just give in, knowing that it's best not to anger him when hes like this. I try to keep myself composed, cringing from the slight pain "Lets go to bed" I suggest, my hands on his shoulders "Come on... ill undress in bed.." I wince

Stranger: He wasn't interested in pulling out so he ignores you and just keeps using your vagina. A few minutes later you hear him grunt and release into you, pulling out and walking away. He heads to the bed and passes out in it once more.

You: I let him use, nearly sobbing by the time he is done with me. I go to the guest shower to clean myself off. Luckily I am on hormonal birth control, so there isn't any risk of pregnancy. I fall asleep on the couch, curled up and depressed

Stranger: A few weeks go by and he had left the day before for his trip and the next morning you were flying out. I walked onto the plane ticket in hand as I looked for my seat. I wore a polo t-shirt with jeans and shoes. A metal watch on my left hand and some aftershave on my chest and neck. " Sarah? " I smile surprised. "Looks like we are on the same plane. I'm a few rows back " I tell you. After the plane takes off I come up next to the lady sitting with you and lie to her saying that you are my wife and asked her to switch seats.

You: I am wearing some dark jeans and a loose white button up, my hair up in a curled ponytail, my make up light. I have to look presentable right after the flight. I packed light, only having a small carry on with me. I am also in black heels. The flight is only an hour and a half and I have a meeting right near a hotel at the Riverton airport. "oh hello there" I smile widely at you, feeling free now that the plane is in the sky and I am miles away from Tom

Stranger: "Dayum!" I smile as I undo the seat belt and turn to you looking at you. "Look at you, I nearly didn't recognise you. You're gorgeous. Sexy even " I remark as you feel my eyes travel over you, taking in what ever I could see. "Wow"

You: I blush hard, again, feeling the need to cover up despite already being modestly dressed. "Nurses don't always wear scrubs" I laugh shyly. "Meanwhile, it looks like my husband long 50 pounds? " I smile warmly, referring to how you got the lady to give up your seat. I help you settle in, and order us some coffees from the cart

Stranger: (Long?)

You: (oops *lost)

You: (Sorry, its 4 am here haha)

Stranger: (Oh shit. I need to let you go?)

You: (nah all good)

Stranger: (Babe tell me. _

Stranger: )

You: (No really, I'm not sleepy yet)

Stranger: "Hahah. Well a husband usually knows what bra his wife has worn which I don't " I mumble against the coffee cup so that the neighbouring seats didn't hear us. " I figured you'd prefer a friendly face instead of an old woman " I shrug and sip the coffee.

You: "I don't think Tom even knows what I clothing I own" I sigh, not wanting to think about him "Are you staying at the Hilton too?" I ask carefully, not wanting to have a misleading tone "Apparently it should have good breakfast"

Stranger: " Mhmmm yeah I am. Its the best business hotel around in Riverton. " I remark. " Its a shame Tom didn't make the effort to know " I smile and playfully try to peek into your shirt. " I place my hand on your lap as we talk, wondering if you'd pull away like you did in the car.

You: I look at your hand, feeling my body and fighting my flinch response. You watch me get a little uneasy and I button up my shirt until nothing is showing at all. I take you hand in mine and lift it up, pressing my forehead against your hand, having a hard time "Thank you for keeping me company" I say softly

Stranger: " Hey I was I playing the fool about the bra thing and looking down your shirt. Sorry If I made you feel weird Sarah " I say regretfully. I feel your forehead on my hand and I slip my arm around you a little later. " You're the best company I've had so far on one of these trips " I smile.

You: I cuddle into your side "No no, you did nothing wrong, I think I am just tired, on edge from all the night shifts" I make excuses for myself. And shut my eyes. I feel safe in your hold, wanting to talk more but I am exhausted. I fall asleep in your arms, getting some much needed rest

You: I cuddle into your side "No no, you did nothing wrong, I think I am just tired, on edge from all the night shifts" I make excuses for myself. And shut my eyes. I feel safe in your hold, wanting to talk more but I am exhausted. I fall asleep in your arms, getting some much needed rest

You: (you there?)

Stranger: ( i am)

You: (Get my reply?)

Stranger: I nod and decide not to disturb you. I held you against my side, gently rubbing your stomach as I heard you breathe in your sleep. I put my headphones in and listened to music for the rest of the flight. When we land, I wake you up and walk you out. I had my hand around you all through our exit and even as we rode in the cab to the hotel.

You: I kept close to you, feeling protected by you. I squeeze your arm and kiss your cheek when the cab drops me off near the first conference I need to go to. "I'll catch up at dinner?" I offer you as I leave. I attend the conference, giving a presentation on nursing in urban areas

Stranger: I liked that we were in a smaller town setting. Definitely a different vibe to the suburb of the city we lived in. I nod and then head inside the hotel. I had a shower and changed and worked from my room for the afternoon and then came to meet a client in the evening. I reached the hote around dinner time and asked the reception which room you were in. I came up and knocked on your door.

You: I answer, wearing a more evening style dress with a high neck and long sleeves but the dress is tight on my curves, my hair is down in loose curls. I open the door and smile "hey, I'm just about ready"

Stranger: "Sorry I'm late " I smile as my eyes check you out in the dress as we head inside. "You make one heck of a dinner date " I chuckle and sit on your bed as you put your finishing touches.

You: I fix up my concealer and eyeshadow. Lastly I step into my high heels and grab my purse "Likewise... and where are you taking me tonight?" I ask politely, hooking my arm around yours playfully

Stranger: " I was thinking we can eat in the hotel's fancy restaurant " I say giving you one option as we walk out of the room, your hand in mine. "Or we could go out and find a place in town. But that would involve some walking around a few blocks to explore and find a restaurant. Is that okay in heels and in this dress? "

You: 'I accept the challenge" I smile. Soon enough we are walking the romantic streets of the small historic town, I carry my weight well, surprisingly stable in my heels. We are at a nice quiet restaurant. I order some roast duck "I have a 400 dollar allowance on dinner, on the company credit card" I brag 'Order whatever you want"

Stranger: "I'm glad you wore heels, because makes your butt stand out " I smile " but I was initially feeling bad you'd have to walk around in them but you make it seems effortless " I chuckle. I nod when you tell me to order whatever I want. " I'll have the Moroccan lamb and a scotch" I say ordering a pretty expensive glass of it.

You: The more we eat the more comfortable I become. I tell you about my presentations and about my work and how I am working to be a nurse educator. It was amazing to have someone actually listen to me. I pay the bill with the credit card and look at you, happy to be with someone who cares a

Stranger: "You know I've never been on a dinner date where the girl paid for me " I remark as I held your hips and walked you out of the restaurant. It was a quiet night in the town and the stars were out so we walked around a bit instead of heading to the hotel.

You: "Guys deserve to be treated too, besides, it's not my money' I smile, swinging my arms as we walk. I remained respectful, I didn't reply to your flirtatious comments other than blush and I didn't initiate touching you, I really am loyal. We only talk about positive things, movies, music, science discoveries, everything. "I love walking, but I think if i keep going I might have to crawl soon, my feet are admittingly killing me" I laugh, as by now I have somehow managed to walk a good 8 kilometers

Stranger: "Well good that we're not too far from the hotel " I smile. I sweep your legs and pick you up, cradling you in my arms so that you didn't have to walk. "I hope that takes the strain off " I smile. Your dress rides up a little as I carry you. "I found that most of my flirting fell flat with you, even though with other girls it usually worked.

You: "Oh god put me down" I laugh squirming, my hands around your neck and shoulders as I try to help you keep me up. I let you walk me a block but then whine playfully "No really, put me down, you made your point, you are very strong!" I tease but do ask you to let go. There was an unspoken tension, I was quite clear with my boundaries

Stranger: I Finally put you down in front of the hotel and let you walk in by yourself, watching you adjust your dress. I walked you to your room. " Well it was a nice evening " I smile at you as I lean on the door frame. " I loved your company. Sleep well " I smile and turn to leave back to my floor and room.

You: I want to tell you something but hold my tongue, already knowing that Tom would kill me if he knew what happened tonight. It was hard to not tell you what was going on at home. It's the last day of my trip and we are back at my room from our third dinner together

Stranger: " We shouldn't make this a habit huh " I laugh as I lie down on your bed, staying a little extra this time after walking you back. I undo the top two buttons on my shirt, since I was sweating a little after the walk. My eyes looked up at the ceiling as you closed the door and came over.

You: I sit down on the edge of the bed, the reality sinking in. "Probably not... can you help me unzip my dress?" I am swearing another form fitting dress, I have never really worn anything revealing. "I can't reach it" I laugh shyly

Stranger: I nod and sit up and put my hand to your nec brushing the hair away. I hold the zip and tug it downwards to the small of your back. I watch as the back of your bra is shown to me. I spread open the flaps of the dress and gently kissed the shoulder over teh bra strap.

You: As you unzip me you see a few fading bruises along my spine and at my waist. I probably didn't even know they were still there or that visible. I tense up when you kiss me and shut my eyes, you watch my whole body freeze and I get anxious, picking at my hands and just back to being the same woman you saw when Tom was around me

Stranger: "What's this? " I ask surprised as I touch the bruise I get you to stand up and I drop the dress to your heels. " What the heck is going on at home " I ask as you stand between my legs and I examine your body for the other marks, finding a few on your inner thigh.

You: I stand infront of you as you sit on the edge of the bed, touching me and making me turn and show you my body. I start getting very anxious, my breathing heavy. I hug my abdomen as you touch my thighs. I wearing a black seamless bra and similar panties that cover about half my butt cheeks "Y-you need to go.. I.." I shut my eyes, scared to look back at you and answer your questions

Stranger: (I'll be a little inconsistent for the next half hour, but I'm here)

Stranger: "Sarah, talk to me. I'm not going. " I tell you as I reach up and run my hand over your cheek. " Look at me. I'm here for you " I tell you and bring you to sit on my lap. " Talk to me hun. I never knew you were being abused physically. Why didn't you ever talk about it "

You: "It's only when he drinks" I get uncomfortable in your lab, scared that you will force yourself on me. I squirm to get up, reaching my the shirt I was sleeping in. I pull it on so I am less exposed "I didn't want to ruin the small vacation we had going... I liked the distraction" I try to not cry but it's hard to keep myself composed
