Calliope
Our bathroom window faced the front of the street. I watched out the
window at the man below sitting on his motorcycle. He wasn’t doing
anything, just staring off, his left hand resting on his thigh. He had a silver
bracelet on and rings on almost each finger, tattoos covering his hand. I
didn’t know what kind of bike it was but figured it was probably a Harley.
My dad collected cars his whole life, so I was familiar with cars, bikes not
so much.
Dad taught me how to change the oil, check the fluids and made sure I
knew how to change my own tires in case I ever got stranded. I wish he
would’ve taught me how to survive a psychotic husband. He told me once,
“Marry someone who opens the car door for you. It means he’s thinking of
you and not himself. If he doesn’t open your door, out with him. Don’t give
him the time of day, Calliope.” I kicked myself for not listening to my dad.
Colin and I met at a cookout five years ago. Each of us invited by
different friends that were attending. He came up behind me when I was
getting another drink from the bartender that was hired to be there. “Don’t
drink too much. Safety first, sloppy never.” That should’ve been the first
red flag, but I see red flags and think they’re pink so of course, that time
wouldn’t be any different.
Laughing, I said, “Oh, I’ll be just fine. It’s only my second one.”
He leaned against the bar and then casually grabbed my freshly made
drink and handed it back to the bartender. Then he asked for some water
and said, “Come on. I want to talk to you. Walk with me.” I should’ve been
annoyed by him taking my drink but instead I thought it was cute.
Nodding, I grabbed my water and walked with him over to the shoreline
of the lake. My friend’s backyard bumped up against the lake and it was
stunning. “What did you want to talk about?”
“I’m Colin. And you’re beautiful.” He reached up and brushed my hair
out of my face, tucking it behind my ear.
It made me smile. “I’m Calliope. Nice to meet you.”
“Well, Callie, I think this is the start of something good.” We carried on
like that all evening, practically ignoring everyone else around us. Our
friends pushed us together even more. My side convincing me he was such
a catch and his side saying the same thing about me. That night he walked
me to my car, and he didn’t open the door for me. Another red flag, or in
my case, a pretty pink one and I should’ve known better.
Colin was possessive and not in a good way. He was controlling and
needed to know everything all of the time. He had controlled every aspect
of my life for five years. I had a wonderful job in a law office and shortly
after we got married, he made me quit. That job was one of the things we
bonded over. He’s a lawyer but he’s not a good one. He always defends the
idiots, the abusers, the murderers, the ones that shouldn’t be defended. It
makes sense though in hindsight.
