James came in shortly and sighed. "There's no point in arguing with her. I don't see why you keep trying."

"Because I'm hoping that maybe one day it will dawn on her that I'm making sense and she'll turn it around."

He snorted and I elbowed him lightly. He wiped at my face and pressed his lips down gently on my lips. "Go relax, take a shower, read a book, do something else to calm down. I'll feed her and then we can try to watch a movie or something. Sound good?"

I smiled at him because no matter how angry I was, he always seemed to know what to say or do to make me happy. Even if it meant that he had to deal with my mother.

I nodded and sat up slowly. I jumped in the shower after he left and washed away all of the day's stresses. After I got out, I walked into the living room and listened to my mom's room.

"C'mon, I know it sucks, but you can't eat solids yet and you need something."

"Just sneak me something solid. I'll leave h

  • Unapologetically Me   Hateful thoughts

    I was the worst daughter ever. I hated myself and I hated her and that's why I was the worst.I stared at her still form on the bed and selfishly thought about myself and my plans and how if she hadn't shown up, I would be in Massachusetts right now with James and we would be looking at the apartment that we were going to start leasing.It was going to be a fresh start and I was going to be free. And now I was here, brushing my mom's yellowing skin with a wet rag and giving her water when she got thirsty and waiting on her hand and foot because it was the least I could do. I had all of these raging emotions that made no sense, but also made perfect sense in my head. I hated my mother. I hated that I was here. I hated that James didn't go to Massachusetts and that he was in here with me, instead of out with his friends. I hated that with everything she put me through, I couldn't just stand up and leave her to die her slow, miserable death.I felt guilty and angry and sad and everythin

  • Unapologetically Me   Promises

    My mom was on her own two feet now, the withdrawals had finally subsided and she was eating normal food. She was also bustling around the house on her own without help. She seemed almost normal now. And since she could mostly take care of herself, James and I took advantage and began leaving her at home to go out on our own. It didn't even matter where we went. Some days, after work, we would just drive around aimlessly and listen to music with his hand on my thigh and a small smile on his lips. Other days we would visit his family and I'd get lost in the controlled chaos for a little bit and feel completely relaxed. It was like this for weeks leading up to James leaving and it was nice, but it didn't erase the fact that he would soon be gone and I'd be left by myself to deal with my mom. For now, now that she could walk and take care of herself, it was fine. She didn't bother me as much and would mostly stay in her room and watch TV. But some days it was like she was itching for

  • Unapologetically Me   Goodbyes

    My eyes teared up and my stomach churned as we sat in the car at the airport. My mom was at home and his mom insisted on driving us, but I wish we had come alone. I didn't want to look like a giant baby after he left in front of her. James was getting his stuff out of the back and I couldn't stop my hands from shaking. Was it possible to get withdrawals from people? When all of his stuff was on the sidewalk ready, he opened the back seat door and looked down at me with red eyes. His bottom lip trembled slightly and he took a deep breath. "I love you." He whispered to me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed his cheek quickly. "I love you too." He wiped under my cheeks and took a shaky breath. "I'll call you when I get in. Keep your phone on you. And don't cry. I'll be back. I promise." I nodded slowly and sat back. His mom was on the verge of tears too and I realized belatedly that she was letting go of her first child. He was the first one to leave and be far away and

  • Unapologetically Me   Bills, Bills and more Bills

    Getting a taste of just how much money I spent a month in bills had my blood pressure at an all-time high.My mom's health insurance was crap and expected high ass deductibles just to not pay for certain medications and treatments she needed according to her doctors. Groceries were at an all-time high because my mom sat around the apartment snacking all day and the electric bill was so much higher since she was home all day.Since it was summer and I had no plans on going to school, I began working double shifts just for ends to barely meet. I worked my usual six to two and then took on the full graveyard until nine. When I'd get home, I would shower, take my mom to her endless doctor appointments, and grocery shop, and then get home and take a nap before starting all over.I was running on fumes and the only thing that made me feel recharged was when James would call me in the middle of my first shift and we would chat for about an hour while he studied f

  • Unapologetically Me   Considering a New Job

    I hang up the phone and look down at the screen. I lean against the stool I brought to the counter from the back office and close my eyes. All I can hear is the girl yelling his name. I wonder if it's Sarah.A little while later, Kimmy and Hayley show up and my mood brightens a little. Hayley sits on the counter and Kimmy leans against her and eyes me with her flirty eyes."So, how's tonight been treating you?""Same as usual. You?""We got to dance for that rapper from California. The one with the gold teeth."I grin at her and shake my head. "And how was that?""Kimmy had him sign her ass for her. I took a picture. Do you want to see?"Before I could answer, she pulls up her phone and shows me a picture of Kimmy bent of the guy's knee with a marker in hand and a giant grin on his face. Kimmy is looking at the camera with her mouth open in a laugh.I smiled down at the picture and chew on my bottom lip. "That's

  • Unapologetically Me   Phone S*x

    I held my breath as the phone rang and began feeling nervous. I didn't even know if I still wanted to do this, now that it was day time and I had all night to think about it. But as my mom emerged from her bedroom yawning with her legs looking more swollen than usual, I felt my resolve harden."Hey, baby." He said as he answered the phone. I smiled at the sound of his voice."Hey, did I catch you at a good time?""Yup. Just woke up. I have a few hours before we take off to go bowling.""Bowling?" He chuckled. "Yeah, you know where you throw giant heavy balls to a bunch of pins at the end of a lane and wear funny shoes?""I know what bowling is, smart ass." I rolled my eyes and he chuckled again. "I just didn't know you liked bowling.""I didn't. I mean, I only went as a kid, but it's not too bad.""That sounds fun. Not really, but you do you I guess."I smiled and he laughed. He sounded so happy, I won

  • Unapologetically Me   The Interview

    My nerves were shot and I felt like I was sweating through every layer of clothes I was wearing. My hands were shaking and I couldn't stop jiggling my knee, no matter how much Kimmy kept telling me to calm down.I wasn't even dancing yet, I was just interviewing with Kade, but I was so scared and nervous. He was like a freaking millionaire running this place along with a few others throughout the United States.And his clubs were the epitome of classy. They were for businessmen and high-dollar guests. Yes, the average person could get in if they had the money, but he catered to the likes of celebrities and hotel moguls and such."What if he doesn't like me?"Kimmy snorted and shook her head. Today she was wearing a simple pair of jeans and a cute crop top but still looked stunning as hell. Her hair was made up in a messy bun that looked flawlessly perfect on her and her makeup was minimal. She had on a clear gloss and nude eyeshadow with some masc

  • Unapologetically Me   Audition

    I worked my ass off for the audition. I meant that as literally as I could get. Kimmy was a good coach at helping me with the dance moves and teaching me when and how to remove my top during the dance, which was kind of embarrassing, but I knew it was necessary.It was uncomfortable for the first few times, but after doing the dance routine over and over again, it became easier to let her see me half nude on the little stage of the studio where she and a few other girls practiced. Kade owned the building, and a few of the girls who worked for him would go and work out there and practice new routines and such.A lot of them were so supportive of me and helped Kimmy coach me for the audition that by the time the audition came, I felt pretty confident.That is until I stepped into the studio where it was being held and saw a few men and women with expensive-looking clothes milling around, watching the other women dance. Even Kade made an appearance, which mad

I have lunches with him almost every day and when I'm off and he comes home, I'm deliriously happy.It feels almost too good to be true, which is the scariest part. I feel like here lately I've been too happy and something sh*tty is about to come around the corner and bite me in the ass. And I wait for it.

  • Unapologetically Me   Job Interview

    LiamIt's done. Everything to do with my parents and my old life is finished. I'm home. It's exactly how it feels, laying next to a sleeping Kelly, watching her chest rise and fall underneath her sheets.I have an important interview in the morning, but I'm too wired to sleep. I had been at the airport when I had talked to Kelly before she went to work and although I was tired as hell, especially after ravaging my beautiful woman, I couldn't sleep.Seeing her walk into the club in the lacy lingerie had me wired. She was sexy as hell, I knew that, but seeing her in action at work, even before I paid for six dances, there was no denying that she was a goddess. I smile at the memory of her shoving my money back in my hand as soon as we get home. "I didn't dance for you, so you take it back." "I don't care, Kelly. Keep it. It's from your job.""Ew. No. It makes me feel icky if you pay for me to do stuff for you. I like giving it to

  • Unapologetically Me   Staying

    Leaving Liam this time was hard. We were so close now, closer than ever to not have to do this anymore. But I ugly cried in the SUV when it was time to say goodbye. I mean, snot and tears and everything. It was bad. And Liam, who was usually so put together and happy go lucky teared up as well."It's okay, Kel. I'll be there soon. I've got some loose ends to tie up, but don't worry. I'll be in Vegas before you know it. I promise."And so I got on my plane alone and went back home. I started getting ready for Liam's arrival as soon as I did. I would go to class and instead of hitting the gym, I started organizing my closet and taking clothes and shoes out to donate. I made drawer space and cleaned out my spare bedroom to give him a special surprise.I ordered some office furniture so that if he wanted to, he could work from home as soon as he found himself something here. Did I tell him about it?No. I was afraid that if I did, he would tell me I was doing too much but I was just excit

  • Unapologetically Me   Christmas Aftermath

    Liam and I sat on the floor of his apartment with our gifts in front of us. After our laughing fit in the car, we came inside and neither of us really knew what to say or do.I felt guilty as hell for everything that happened at his parents house. I felt selfish because I didn't want to let him go and I felt responsible for him losing his job and his family. I just...I didn't feel good at all. I mean, I loved that he defended me. It made me feel..I felt loved. I felt like someone really cared for me and it felt like for the first time ever that I was chosen first.But of course, I felt guilty for wanting to be first. I chose my mom over James. Even when she was a raging b*tch, I still chose her. I wanted to choose James, but I didn't. Liam chose me. He chose me. I had no idea why. I mean, yeah, we were together, but...he was losing a lot. He didn't even have a job. He didn't have his parents anymore and it was all my fault. I stared down at my g

  • Unapologetically Me   Christmas

    We went last-minute Christmas shopping. Despite me being here, his parents still wanted me over for Christmas because Liam flat-out refused to join them if I couldn't go, which made me feel amazing. Not.So even though I bought Lillian a cashmere sweater, I still had to buy it for his dad even though Liam kept telling me I didn't have to. I didn't care if they got me anything or not. I half expected to get sh*t in a box, courtesy of his mother, but it was okay. I would accept it gracefully, just to piss her off.And it wasn't like I was aiming to piss them off. I just wasn't going to give in to their bullsh*t wishes.On Christmas Eve we had dinner with his friends and had a white elephant gift party which was pretty fun. I enjoyed my time there, even though Vivian was there. She avoided talking to either of us the whole time which suited me perfectly. I even drank a little because I was feeling the holiday spirit. I came home with a cute set of Tiffany earrings because these rich peop

  • Unapologetically Me   Walk of Shame

    When we step off of the elevator I feel almost a permanent blush up my neck and cheeks. I'm not sorry for what we did but Vivian saw and from past experiences, she wasn't very good at keeping her trap shut.I walk into the event center with my arm in Liam's and thank God no one is really paying attention to us. Some people glance at us, but it seems like the drinks have been flowing and people are talking loud and gesturing with their hands. So that's a good sign.I look around and see Vivian sitting at a table with a drink in her hand looking forlorn and I smirk to myself. Serves her right for coming and looking for us. Thoughts have been going on in my head, wondering what she was doing, looking and all I could come up with was that she didn't expect me to be with him.I felt like she thought that maybe she could corner him, thinking I was in the bathroom or some stupid sh*t after what his dad told me. I probably would have been if Liam hadn't noticed I was upset right away. But Lia

  • Unapologetically Me   Christmas Party Cont.

    LiamI looked around to see if anyone was watching us and took Kelly's hand in mine. Whatever one of my parents told her had her looking like she was going to be sick and I was not going to let that happen. It took me entirely too long to get Kelly to agree to be mine and I wasn't going to lose her so quickly.I took Kelly out of the event center and to the bank of elevators in the main lobby. We hopped into the elevators and I wrapped my arms around her after I clicked on the fortieth floor, where my office was located."You want to tell me what my parents said to you?" I nuzzle her neck, my favorite place to be and she sighs and leans her body back against mine and gives me more of her neck."No. Nothing you didn't prepare me for. It just sucks.""Who was it?""Your dad.""What did he say?"She takes a deep breath and I watch her chest rise and fall. She looks absolutely stunning in her red dress. The mom

  • Unapologetically Me   Christmas Party

    I stare at myself in the mirror, feeling nervous. I run a hand down my red, satin dress and smile. My hair is up in an intricate bun that took me an hour to do and I did my makeup as perfectly as I could get it without looking like I over did it. I have smoky eyes and red lips. My dress drops down into a deep v in between my breasts and it hangs down to mid calf with a high slit up to my hip. It's sexy and formal and I hope it says that I don't give a flying f*ck what anyone thinks about me.I put on my matching red stilettos and turn to my side and grin.I walk out into the living room where Liam is waiting for me and watch his eyes dance and darken as I step into the room. He swallows hard and pulls at his bow tie, then runs both hands down his chest. He looks hot as hell in a tuxedo and my mouth goes dry. "Do we have to go?" He asks as he steps closer to me. His cheeks are red and I smile at him. "Yes." I raise my eyebrows at him. "We have to go." He grabs my hips and brings me

    The days are passing by slowly. It's almost painful, but there's absolutely nothing to be done. So I go to class, go to the gym, go to work and do it all over again. Liam, since I officially decided to be his girlfriend, has been checking in on me nonstop. It's a complete one eighty from how James would do when he was in school. It didn't matter if he was in a meeting or doing important business man sh*t, Liam would call or text me just because he missed me. We would even just be on the phone while he did paperwork in his office, not speaking, but just being on the line.And every day he would tell me about how many companies he has reached out to. He hadn't told his parents yet because he wanted to make sure he had a job first before he dropped the bomb on them.But he also hinted that his father was getting suspicious. I was on the line with him one day when his dad walked into his office. I knew it was his father because he greeted him as such. I muted
