Becca's No Man Policy Chapter 1
*** The house is filled with vociferates and yelling from both of us, broken glasses are on the floor and things are scattered all over the place. Dismayed by the whole situation, I'm lost for words; my heart's beating out of my chest and it seems that none of us are bothered about the mess we've made. I'm surprised by how the neighbors can't hear us, we have never had such an intense altercation and I'm so apprehensive about one of us ending upphysically hurt. I'm sitting on the white marble floor in the corner of the dining room, a space so open you can see the door to the living room, I'm sobbing helplessly while gripping my front hair as I rock back and forth with my head facing the floor. Mascara is smudged under my eyes and I couldn't care less about the snot dripping from my nose. I feel drained and hopeless and with the little dignity I have left, I should be walking out that door, but how am I t

*** How disgusting of him to pull up such a move! I scrub my lips and rinse my mouth a couple of times. Still standing in front of the mirror, I struggle to erase the lines on my forehead. With every blink I make, flashes of what happened earlier appear. I can't erase it, I can't erase the memory. I glare at the mirror and all I can still see is him, from the time he put his hand on my face to the time he brushed his lips against mine, thankfully I didn't let him go that far but it still felt like a kiss, a kiss I didn't consent. So much resentment was brewing up inside me I stormed out of the mall without waiting for Tessa or thinking twice about how insane I was looking, I just wanted to get out of there, far away from him. Upon getting home, I was enfolded in silence. The house was empty, and I assumed mom was still at work, I can't imagine what her reaction would have been if she saw me like this.

*** "Watson!" Carter yells from behind. Ignoring him, I roll my eyes and increase my pace to try and get away from him. When he matches my pace, I hear his feet stamping on the ground and as soon as he catches up with me, I give up and turn around to face him. When he leans against the wall, he slightly curves forward and clutches his stomach while trying to catch his breath. "Jeez,Watson. You're training for a marathon or something?" He pants. "What do you want Carter?" I scowl at him and looking impatient as always every time I'm around him. How he still talks to me despite the I don't like you signs I've given him is still a mystery to me. How many more signs does one need in order to understand? "Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed, again." He comments faintly but audible enough. When I arch my eyebrow in response, he notices and his tone declines right away, this time sounding polite. "S

***House is cleaned, and the dishes are washed. Perfect. Knowing mom won't be back anytime soon I lock the door and head upstairs.It gets lonely most of the time when mom is working late. She does the most to take care of others and yet doesn't pay attention to her own needs and honestly, I'm worried for her. Pulling a note from the drawer, I stare at it for a while, contemplating whether or not I should call her Chief Nursing Officer. I have the power to call him but as always, I'm indecisive.Heaving a sigh, I pace around the room as the nerves fire off in my body. With these white walls surrounding me, I feel like I'm drowning in a state of panic I might lose the serenity of my mind. Maybe I should call him and end this once and for all, but what will happen to mom? I can't, I can't put her through this, no I need to find another solution.When the waves making vigorous troubled motions in my mind finally

***I stay quiet in my seat and stare closely at the clock on the wall that's been ticking, it's 7 pm already and Mom should be back by now. It's not odd for her to be working this late but she usually calls to inform me about it.My anxiety level's increasing with every minute that goes by without a word from her. Curling up in a ball, I tug my fleece up to my chest. Calming my restless heart is certainly not my area of expertise but there's nothing else I can do other than wait.My phone flashes and instantly, I pick it up. Upon reading a message from Mom, I heave a sigh of relief. Well, at least she texted. Mom, "Don't stay up late waiting for me I'll be home in an hour, just make sure to lock up everything alright? Call me if anything."Being home alone most of the time is nothing new, with mom working all the time, it gets lonely at times, and sometimes it's scary. As safe as my neighborhood is

~Wake Me Up~ I like to talk. That's why I can't karaoke in a private room. Those types of shenanigans are only good in a public space. ~ Liza LapiraI come to a halt and turn to look at him, he's rolled down the window and I can clearly see him. Radiant skin, a clean white T-shirt that hugs his body, a vibrant smile, and sparkling blue eyes that are slowly drowning me. Don't understand why that is."Are you alright? My apologies I-I didn't mean to scare you," he says and I can hear the sincerity in his voice. I am in awe of how humb

Mom offers, her skin is so radiant with no bloodshot eyes or dark shadows under her eyes. She looks calm and free -- there's no rush in the things she's doing and neither does she look worried."No thanks, I got it all under control." I reply as I exhale a sharp breath, "I'm just intrigued by this research I've been working on about the 1963 equal pay act," "Ah I see" she res
