Synopsis:
One day I was be-bopping along jamming to the music in my head while wondering if my thighs could handle grabbing a cupcake on the way home. The next thing I knew, my entire world crashed and burned. I used to wake up at night in a sweat, crying because I’d dreamt that my husband was cheating on me, or that he hated me, and resented my kids. He’d always hold me close and tell me it was all just a dream, that he loved me and our family and that he’d never let me go. He was a f*cking liar. Now I spend my days taking photos of scum just like him, trying to be a champion for other's being taken advantage of by the losers in our town, and my nights being a single mom to my beautiful twins. I've got great friends who have my back, and a sexy, mysterious motorcycle man who keeps showing up when I need him. Maybe things are starting to look up, and one thing's for sure... There's always room for cupcakes.
Excerpt
“Oh, yeah,” I said, looking
down to where my hand was clutching my stomach. “Just cramps.”
I found that if you talked
about cramping or periods in any given situation, that almost always caused the
other person to redirect and change the subject, or sometimes even walk away.
I was hoping for the latter in
this case, instead he rolled his eyes and said, “I’m so tired of you women using that shit as an
excuse. Any time you don’t want to do
anything you blame it on cramps and periods. Well, I call bullshit.”
After what I’d just witnessed back in that room, the last thing
I wanted was this man judging me, or any women for that matter, so what he said
really pissed me off.
With my hands on my hips I
yelled, “Oh, really? Bullshit? I’d like to see
you bleed out of your dick for one week every month and see how you fucking
deal!”
I didn’t wait for him to reply, I just stomped off to my car, got in, and drove off, leaving him staring after me with a scowl.
