Chapter 7, Manna May
"Chase, you dog." I said under bated breath. I looked angrily in his playful blue eyes. Blond hair fell in wisps around his face, concealing one of his eyes. "Yay! I'm a puppy!" He said happily. Seriously, I didn't know how he got past business school. I personally think his father bribed the university. In his attire, he wasn't to be taken seriously as a CEO. He had a red plaid shirt on with yellow lines, and a pair of jeans, and sneakers. He was called the 'Advocate of the People'. I called him the 'Idiotic Loser with a BIG Love Life and a Dead-Brain', May looked up. "Who's Chase?" She asked. I shook my head. "You don't need to know who this pathetic dirt dog is." I yelled. May looked as if she was in a coma. "I think he's kind of cute." she murmured. Okay. That did it. My nerves flared. Chase has officially taken two women from me with his 'devilish good looks'.
I turned May towards me. "You've gone WAY too far. You've taken all of this so called 'joy' right from under me because you muttered those words tonight, May. I HATE admitting this, especially in front of Chase, the big *ss, but I thought, that maybe, I could have another chance. I thought, maybe we could be good friends, and I hate admitting I'm weak, but I thought, no, I knew, you'd be the one... That brought me joy after Mom died, now I really do know I'm not cut out for love. Take her, *amn Chase, she's yours." He gravitated towards me. "Ooh. Colorful words..."
"I saw you had a tough time back there. Maybe we could sit by the pool and chat?" a female voice rung out of nowhere. It was Manna, the woman that had married Chase and split out from right under me. "But...You're married." She shook her head. "Nope, It's over. I got divorced. I'm starting new. May wasn't worth much, anyways." I shook my head. But she WAS worth something. I walked into my house, not knowing what to do. In the haste to scramble to my desk, I realized something. I had left my fake wedding band on the desktop. Now everyone knew... That I was single.
