Miss Independent, Volumes 1 & 2

by Leach, Kiki

  Just when she was certain she was getting her life together, fate walked in and said, I don’t think so, sis, step back. She contemplated what to do and decided to toss the letter in the garbage out back, hoping to never see something else like it again.

  But it wouldn’t be so easy for her to forget, especially now in knowing that he was back in town. She wondered how long it had been and was almost tempted to reach down into the garbage to pull the number out, call him and ask him before hanging up, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it. The largest part of her didn’t want to care anymore. But there was still a tiny bit that seemed to care all too much. She hated that part and tried crushing it by thinking of Maurice in the shower.

  When that didn’t work, she went upstairs and turned her music up loud. But every song that she listened to seemed to remind her of a time in her life that she was much more comfortable in forgetting. She sat at the edge of her bed and held her face in her hands. Things were bound to get worse with Adrian contacting her again and she knew it. She wasn’t prepared for Nathan and Sheila and was even less prepared in finding out that Adrian was now back to possibly take their place as the unwanted hole left inside her heart.

  She placed her elbows on her legs and rocked back and forth as the anxiety built up. This wasn’t just another man she had been with; this was a man who promised her the world, but never even thought to have her land on a flat surface when he decided that that world was much better off without her in it to occupy with him.

  Her heart grew in speed and she began tapping her feet. It never once occurred to her the reason why he was contacting her, just that in doing so meant that her already turned upside down world was never, ever going to be quite right again. Especially if she chose to contact him back which she considered. And mused over. And considered again, until she finally realized that no good would come from it. There was no keeping him from attempting to reach out again without her knowing it, but she hoped like hell if she just left it alone that he would too.

  Unfortunately, she knew the very notion of that was too damn good to be true.
