"What's wrong?" asked Beth.

Brad blushed and ran a hand through his hair. "we're missing the best part..." he jerked a hand toward the tv, where phantom of the opera was playing.

Beth turned toward the tv.

brad swallowed and shifted his sweats so there wasn't a bulge.

Beth giggled.

Brad jumped and blushed.

Beth looked at him. "What's wrong?"

Brad cleared his throat. "its nothing..." he pulled the blanket over his lap, and watched the phantom give the girl a rose.

Beth nodded and looked down at her hands.

Brad took her hand in his and lifted it to his lips.

Beth blushed and looked away shyly.

Brad smiled and hugged her to him.

Beth wrapped her arms around him.

Brad kissed her neck. "you smell good"

Beth blushed. "Thanks."

Brad grinned. "as much as i love sitting here with you ..i have to go to work.."

Beth pouted. "Do you really have to?"

Brad nodded. "come over for dinner tonight...make me something" he winked before he lifted himself into his wheel chair and rolled into his room.

Beth smiled and waved before leaving.


Sabotaged by Sarah

Brad dressed and wheeled down the ramp and to his car. he got in and lifted the wheel chair in beside him before driving to work

Beth sighed when she headed into her home.

Brad went to work in a 18 story building. he worked as a secretary. he was gone then came home. he saw a car in his driveway but thought nothing of it. he wheeled into his house and stripped off his shirt on the way to his room.

Sarah waited on his couch, wearing a skimpy dress.

Brad froze, then got angry. "get out...."

Sarah walked over to him and placed her hand on his chest. "How could you? That girl? Honestly, Brad? I thought you loved me."

Brad shoved her hand away. "get out! its over between us..remember? plus i like this girl...she accepts me too" he lifted himself from his chair and onto the couch.

Sarah pulled off her dress and pulled off his shirt.

"Hey, Brad. There's another car in your..." She stopped herself and saw Sarah on Brad. She cried and left.

Brad shoved Sarah off him and stood, but fell because of his leg, he pulled himself up into the wheelchair and followed Beth. "Beth!!! wait!"

Beth slammed the door to her house.

Brad sighed as he stared at the steps on her porch. "Beth! its not what it looked like! she's my ex...and she left me..i don't know why she came back...but i want you"

Beth cried, her back against the door and her face in her hands.

Brad threw rocks at the door. "i can't come up there because of the steps..buts she's gone..don't let her ruin this!"

Beth yelled," I don't believe you! You're the worst!"

Brad winced "im not...why would i do that? people barely even look at me...."

Beth sniffled. "You lied to me! You just say that to get people's sympathy and then, you bed the women! I'm just a game to you!"

Brad growled. "no you aren't!...if you noticed you were the only person near my house in a year....she left me the minute she saw my face"

Beth opened the door and stared at him with hard eyes. "I can't believe you. You're a cheater, a liar. I can't believe I ever loved you."

Brad frowned. "Beth...i do love you...stop...did you notice i was no where near my chair and my shirt was across the room? or that she was pushing me down in the couch? i was in pain...she was kneeling On my amputated leg!"

Beth wiped away her tears. "You'd like that pain, wouldn't you? You're a sucker for pain in bed, huh?"

Brad glared at her. "if you actually believe that ..then maybe you shouldn't be dating me" he turned and wheeled over to his house.

"Maybe I shouldn't," Beth said, hatefully before heading out of her house and walking toward the town.

Sarah grinned when Brad came in.

Brad yelled at her to leave and slammed the door after she left before gripped his hair and pulling, frustrated.

Beth needed relief bad. She picked the first single guy and brought him back to her house.

Brad looked up and saw, he felt his heart wrench. he opened the door and wheeled out. "So that's it....go get a guy who isn't wheelchair bound...or has a scarred face! " he yelled from the porch.

Beth glared at him. "Oh, like you didn't choose a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes and a very curvy body!" she yelled before dragging the man inside.

Brad grabbed his special crutches and wobbled on them to her home. he banged on her door.

The man kissed her on the neck as she yelled against the wall," What?!"

Brad banged on the door. "open up! so help me god...i wont let him touch you!"

"Why should you care?!" yelled Beth, moaning as well when the man nipped her throat lightly.

Brad banged on the door, pissed off. "because i love you!" he yelled .

Beth moaned again. "No way! You cheated on me and made me feel pain! Now, it's your turn to feel pain!"

Brad fell down to the porch floor and leaned against the door. "since i already told you she was on me and i couldn't do anything...this is You cheating on me! with that bozo!"

"You said we shouldn't be dating! I'm not cheating!" Beth argued.

Brad sighed. "fine....if you sleep with him...at least use a condom....you don't know what he has...oh and im staying right here outside the door the Whole time!"

Beth pushed the man away. "I can't do it! I just can't!"

Brad struggled off the porch floor and slipped the crutches on his arms and knocked. "let me in Beth"

Beth let the man out and let Brad in.

Brad sighed and ran a hand over his face after he sat and took the crutches off. "i did not touch her, except to remove her"

Beth covered her face with her hands. "Oh god...what is wrong with me?"

Brad frowned. "you were upset...but ...i don't understand why you didn't trust me?"

Beth shook her head. "I...I don't know. I just got scared that I'd lose you and I got mad, thinking that maybe you really weren't single and you just tried to bed me. I...I just got nervous."

Brad sighed. "im not like that....it took me months to even watch you...at first i only got glimpses...but i love you...and i would never get back together with my ex...."

Beth sat next to him and pulled at her hair. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

Brad hugged her to him. "you got me to use my crutches...and i went up steps...plus...i needed to prove to you that you're mine" he kissed her

Love Always Wins

Beth pulled back. "Oh god. I'm a terrible person. I should be dead."

Brad frowned "no...you shouldn't ...I forgive you"

Beth looked at him. "Why would you forgive me? I almost broke your heart..."

Brad smiled "but you didn't ....isn't that what counts?"

Beth snuggled into his side and buried her face in his chest. "I'm still very sorry."

Brad hugged her close. "Did you make dinner? "

Beth shook her head. "I forgot because I wanted to see you. Then, I saw the car, got worried, and then, I saw Sarah and...yeah..."

Brad sighed "lets call for pizza then snuggle on the couch?"

Beth nodded. "I'm still sorry. No matter what, I still won't stop saying sorry because I hurt you."

Brad nodded "okay ...but go ahead and order 2 cheese pizzas "

Beth picked up the phone and ordered. She then cuddled back into Brad.

Brad laid back along the couch and held her close

Beth wrapped her arms around him. "I love you."

Brad smiled "I love you too...." he kissed her

Beth kissed him back and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Beth moaned and ran her hands up and down his chest.

Brad shivered and grew hard against her leg

Beth moaned and pulled off his shirt.

Brad groaned and stroked her lower bare back

Brad blushed "dinner " he sat up

Beth pulled on her clothes and got up. She paid the man and took the pizzas.

Brad shook his head. "i love pizza...And i love you"

Beth giggled uncontrollably.

Brad tugged her close and kissed her

Beth wrapped her arms around his neck.

Brad lifted her onto his lap, careful to watch his amputated leg.

Beth pulled back. "I'm rather heavy. Don't put me on your lap..."

Brad smiled and kissed her

Beth got off his lap.

Brad frowned. "where are you going?"

"I'm heavy," Beth said, looking
