Grace

“My sister used to flinch too.” Zeke's voice drifted through the speaker.

I froze, my breath catching on my throat.

“She married someone who apologized after every bruise. She forgave him each time and slowly, I watched my sister lose her life while still alive.”

I swallowed.

There was a long pause, the room felt way too quiet.

Zeke exhaled in his voice note, heaviness etched seamlessly into the sound.

“I begged her to leave but she wouldn't. Maybe I didn't try hard enough. Maybe she coul

  • Bad Decision, Great pleasures    CHAPTER 3

    If anyone told me I would be kissing a girl on Valentine's night, I would have probably believed it.I mean, we all do crazy things like that sometimes.What I wouldn't have believed was that I would want to do more than kiss her.That I would tell her to do more than kiss me.“Touch me.”Camille stopped. She pulled back, finding my eyes. “Nadia,” my name sounded so perfect falling from her lips. “Are you sure?”“I mean,” I shrugged. “I don't know. I'm like 85% drunk and the only thing I can think about is how nice your touch would be if your lips feel so soft.”She stared at me, eyes dimming.I blinked. “I should stop talking.”“No,” she said hurriedly, her hand reaching out to cup my face. “Don't stop.”She inched forward, stealing my breath right out of my lungs.“Tell me what you want me to do to you.”My lips parted. Like she chanted some sort of spell on me, I began talking.Things I wouldn't normally say.“I want you to touch me,” I swallowed. “To run your hands over my body w

  • Bad Decision, Great pleasures    CHAPTER 2

    I watched her disappear through the staff door and immediately regretted every decision I'd made in the last five minutes.Why did I ask her?Who invited their waitress to drink with them?She probably thought I was pathetic.Or worse...She was probably back there telling every other waitress about the lonely woman whose boyfriend forgot Valentine's Day.Fantastic.I stared at the two wine glasses I'd already poured.One for me, one for her. Assuming she was actually coming back.Three minutes passed, my patience running thin. Then five. I sighed, reaching for my handbag.Of course she wasn't coming back.Why would she?“You were really going to leave without me?”I looked up so quickly I nearly knocked my glass over.There she was.She'd changed. The apron was gone, so was the ponytail.Dark curls rested around her shoulders now, and without the restaurant uniform she somehow looked even prettier, less like someone serving tables and more like someone who belonged on the other side

  • Bad Decision, Great pleasures    “Use Me Instead” Chapter 1

    “Use Me Instead”1My boyfriend made a reservation for 7:00.By 7:15, I'd already checked my lipstick three times.By 7:30, I started pretending I wasn't looking at the entrance every time someone walked in.By 8:00...I stopped pretending.The candle between our plates had burned almost halfway down. Couples around me were laughing, feeding each other dessert and taking pictures I'd probably end up seeing on Instagram later.Happy Valentine's Day to me!I looked at the empty chair opposite mine, anger flaring in my chest.I unlocked my phone for what had to be the twentieth time, hoping to at least see one text that would stop this fury from threatening to consume me.There was nothing.My fingers darted over the keyboard as I typed,> Where are you?I didn't send it however.Absolutely not.If Jill wanted to embarrass me, he was going to do it by himself, not with my help.He knew today was Valentine's Day.He knew he had booked this restaurant weeks ago.He knew I'd spent over an h

    EzekielMorning sunlight had no business looking that peaceful. It slipped through the curtains in thin golden lines, settling across the bed like nothing had changed.Everything had.I opened my eyes slowly. For one terrifying second, I thought I'd imagined her, until I felt the warmth tucked against my side.Grace.She was asleep with one hand curled around my waist, her breathing slow and even, as though this was the first time in years she'd slept without fear.I smiled before I even realized I was doing it.Carefully, I brushed a loose strand of hair away from her face.The bruise was still there. The sight of it stole every ounce of happiness I'd woken up with.I wanted to remember this morning. Instead, all I could think about was the man who had put that mark there.One day, I promised myself. One day she'd look in the mirror and forget who put it there.Grace stirred.Her eyelashes fluttered before those warm brown eyes found mine.Her gaze was calm and filled with affection,

    Ezekiel A knock sounded on my door sometime around 10p.m. and for some reason, a knot formed in my stomach.I put aside the watering can, took off my gloves and wiped my hands on my shirt before rushing outside. I reached the door as another desperate knock echoed.Somehow, I already knew who it was.By the time I opened the door, Grace was already falling. I caught her before she hit the ground, her breathing rushing out in broken little pieces.Her hair was a mess, one side of her face had already begun to swell. Something inside me went frighteningly still.“Grace…”She didn't answer. She only buried her face against my chest and started crying.I wrapped both arms around her. “It's okay.”It wasn't. Nothing about this was okay.I led her inside without another word. I didn't trust myself enough to say anything that wouldn't show how angry I was. I couldn't show her I was angry at a moment like this. It would freak her out. And I wasn't angry at her. I was angry at the bastard wh

Maybe I didn't try hard enough. Maybe she couldn't see what he was doing to her but I did, and I couldn't take it.” He cleared his throat. “He hit her this one time and she called me crying. I lost it. I went over to hers, stopped the asshole from leaving like he always did and I hit him back. I didn't stop even when my sister begged me to. I didn't stop… until he stopped breathing.”My hand around the phone tightened.He clicked his tongue. “Uh… I'm sorry about the gory details. I'm not proud of what I did. Maybe if I had done things diffe
