A/N: sorry for the wait, homework and writer's block kept me busy. *please review* I really appreciate your guys praise AND criticism. : )
excerpt from chapter 7:
WHAT IS THIS? I ask myself. I didn't owe her and explanation! It was none of her dang business!!! I was kicking into marine mode and fast; I needed to say something before this got out of hand. This Mall Adventure with "Barbie" was turning out to be more than I bargained for.
"Renee........."
A/N: Without much further ado...I give you chapter 9!
"Renee, is there a problem here?" I said, wanting to get it out in the open once and for all.
" I don't know MMMMac...should there be?" Renee says cooly(sp?) drawing out the M for emphasis.
At this point, I'm ready to deck her. I get a mental picture of me letting her have it and smile despite my agitated state.
I snap out of it and realize Renee is still waiting on a reply. Darn, and I was hoping she had gone away!
"Renee, come on...I mean can't we just get along for one day!?!"
I say..... my attempts to keep my cool in vain.
"HA!" Renee laughs.
I continued in a rush, using my hands expressively:
"I'm getting married in a couple of days, Renee! You have nothing to worry about!!!!! I am no threat to you! Harm is all yours!!! True....I care about Harm!!! You caught me! I've loved him for as long as I can remember...But , He's Yours Renee...YOURS!"
"So, stop giving me that...that.. crap..... and don't pretend to like me either....sudlety doesn't work for you! We both know that you can't wait for the day when you can sit back, relaxe, and know that I'm now the least of your concerns!"
I am ranting..but don't care! I've snapped, totally and completely snapped!
"HOW DARE YOU!?!" Renee practically screamed at me with clenched fists. "How dare you treat me like this! You're right......I am worried about you getting in the way of my happinness..BUT I HAVE EVERY RIGHT......I've seen the way you look at him..the way you act around him!!! I mean...COME ON MAC...Do I have to hang a sign around his neck that says "TAKEN" !!!
My mouth drops open and I make no attempt to shut it.
.......You with your flirting ...You practically throw yourself at him every chance you get! Quite the skank, You want simply what you can't have MAC!"
That's it. She's pushed me too far!!!
"Wo--oh-oh! You have gone too far this time Renee!"
I hit her square in the face and say:That just goes to show you..Marines always have the last word! And, for the record, I'm not a skank!
I then turned on my heel, and strolled out of the store with a clear conscience. She had asked for it after all!
A/N: REVIEW PLEASE!!!!!!!! : )
