Gray puffs feathered and pushed in a dark wall across the stormy sky. A crack of thunder that seemed to echo, boomed past her ears. If she had known, she would have stayed back home instead of the surprise visit.

The scent of earthy soil seeped through Becky's nose as she trudged along the quiet crosswalk with trembling limbs and shuffling footsteps as she made her way home. The cool breeze blew her brown hair across her eyes, and she tucked them back. Distance voices chattered as the howling sound of cold air shushed.

Her skin stung with cold, her pants cuffs fluttering against her ankles, and her flared blouse flapping and ruffling against her body. There was tightness in her chest and limbs, and as she dragged her feet down the road in hunched shoulders and bent back, a dull aching pain crept through her throat. She was trying hard not to cry.

She forced her eyes to a squint to keep them from drying out, then the tears began. Her vision blurred and the world around her began to spin and slow down.

The security and stability that engulfed her world was the reason Becky knew that she had found her true love. And why wouldn't she? There was a steady amount of trust between them, so she never got to worry about him breaking up or leaving her abruptly. He was a real man who was courteous, kind, and reliable.

What else could you call a man who nourished and strengthened your relationship through ongoing, honest communication and teamwork other than a real man?

He accepted all of her, supported her, listened to her and even made her laugh whenever she was feeling blue. How could he suddenly change? Why had he changed?

Had all the memories they'd shared together meant nothing to him?

Becky's mind went back to the scene she'd just witnessed, and just like a flood, the tears streamed down her already swollen eyes. She wanted to wake up from the agonizing nightmare. Their engagement party was to be hosted in a week's time. He was a lover of hers that wasn't supposed to leave.

His words rang again in her head, "there was no spark in the beginning, but you got along and hoped things would get better, and they just never did."

There was a huge lie in his words. It might have been true that she was the one who loved him first, but there was certainly a spark. They both loved each other, else, why would he remain with her for five years and not break up?

"Things were moving so fast, and I'm just not ready to commit to a relationship like that, you know?"

He was cruel and harsh. There was no doubt about it. Life was truly unfair. How was she supposed to go on with her life? Without him in it, everything would seem... Incomplete.

How was she ever going to trust any man again?

    Present Day. Arianna Grande, position, was playing in the background that night, where people were appreciating the fine lyrics of the song. The room wasn't crowded and that was the more reason she admired the bar. The light was finely dimmed with cool colors. Becky Lawyers sat on a stool across the bartender's side, gently humming the incorrect lyrics that came to her mouth, a whisky shot on one hand. She'd ordered it minutes ago and probably won't take it till she leaves. She wasn't exactly a lover of alcohol. A young man sat just beside her. "Tequila!" he called in a jovial tune. Becky turned to stare. She still saw the fine curves that revealed a crinkled dimple on his left cheek. He was in a dark jacket and jeans. The bartender, a dark curvy lady smiled upon the young man's arrival. "Sir Logan," she said, and he rose up to playfully give a 'Prince Charming' bow. "My shift is over. Gotta run." The lady announced, taking off the apron on her. "Alright, mademoiselle." Said the

    Becky was not the type of lady to be clumsy, but the night earlier, she'd cried herself to sleep thinking about him. She remembered the same day last year; 22nd of June—two days after her birthday. How they'd broken into a fight, and later made up with a steamy passionate sex. They were in Paris—her first and only time ever visiting the city of love."Taxi!" She yelled out as soon as she darted along the main road of L.A, waving her hands to slow down cars but neither of them seemed to have seen her. "Taxi!" With a croaky voice, she yelled again.A gush of hot wind seeped down her nostrils; it reeked of motor oil and car exhaust. "Why aren't they stopping?" Out of a tinge of frustration, she muttered, "Tax--" A cab finally stopped at her wave, and she jumped in, directing the description of her workplace. ****Logan hated one thing the most when it came to work.

    The elevator's door opened to a bright open space, transparent glass door giving view to well furnished offices. The door to the entrance was secured with a passcode and Becky froze in concern. There was no one in clear sight, so her chance of entering depended solely on her next choice of action. What to do? What to do? She bit her finger in frustration, wondering who to call. Then just out of sheer luck, she saw a young slender and tall man sight her and walked forward towards the door. She too made her way to meet him at the entrance."Ms Lawyers?" He asked with disbelief after typing in the code. She nodded. "It doesn't speak well of you if you get in trouble on your first day of work." He said, his eyes lightly scrutinizing in an intimidating manner, from her head to toe. "You're fired."What?Her heart sank upon hearing the statement. "W-what... H-how? I... I, why?"The terrorizing gaze in his eyes slowly dissolved and melted into a warm refined smile. "I'm sorry. I'm just joking
