Welcome back guys! Thanks to all who read and review! Thanks as always to my beta Boosboys- she rocks my socks off!


"Bella? Are you home?" Jacob calls from the front door

"Yep, I'm in the lounge." Shouting isn't necessary; he is a total of ten steps from me.

He glances up at that wall clock and frowns.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm enjoying my day off," I tell him honestly.

"Have you done any housework today?" His face is crinkled now; creased with irritation.

"Nope," I reply, popping the p.

"So, you've sat on your computer all day, and haven't bothered to get dinner ready or do any washing? Do I have any clean work clothes?" he asks in exasperation.

"I don't know, Jacob. To be honest, your clothes were the last thing on my mind today."

"Right, I guess I just thought you'd be a bit of a wife while you were home."

My eyes narrow, and I glare at him.

"Excuse me?"

"Well, Bella, I've been at work all day, and now I come home to find you sitting on your fat ass doing nothing. Sorry if I'm a bit pissed off!" he fires at me.

I stand up, throw my hands on my hips and glare harder.

"I can't believe you just said that!" I whisper.

"Yeah, well deal with it!" he shouts and stomps from the room.

I'm not interested in hanging around and dealing with his shit, so I scoop up my keys and walk right out the door. I don't bother to slam it; I just leave quietly.

Perhaps a night alone will make him realise what the heck he just did.


Merry Christmas guys!
