Here I was in the changing room missing to hug and kiss him with a feeling of betrayal that sat on my guts with so much fire burning slow.

He slammed the door to his bedroom and pinned me on it.My hands above my head."Is Matt your date? Did he ask you out?" He cussed out and my body trembled.He was so mad, madder than that night he called me Cardi."What are you talking about?""Why are you wearing such a short dress?
