Soft whispers… my name on her lips… soft skin… so small, perfect… she fit perfectly against me… don't go, stay… I love you… soft lips… dark hair… dark eyes…
"Roza…"
"What?!"
I opened my eyes. Big blue eyes glared back at me.
"Tasha?"
"I can't believe this! Even without you remembering that little slut, you still think about her!"
Images of a time in a small winter cabin flashed through my eyes. I remembered she had given herself to me there; it had been her first time.
I touched my lips, finding them wet. "Did you just kiss me?"
She screeched. "What is it about your precious Roza that you can seem to get her out of your head?!"
The words came out of my mouth before I had time to process them.
"Because she is ten times the woman you will never be."
The sound of the slap reached my ears before I registered her movements. I rubbed my cheek and glared at her.
"Don't ever come near me again, Tasha." I stood up, fury cursing through my veins. "You will not ruin this for me, you almost took my one chance at happiness, you destroyed everything that was pure, you tried to trap me with a lie and then you tried to get me fired! Leave. Me. Alone!"
Her gasp was loud and we both stood stock still.
Then everything went black.
