CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Lindsey and Ice

LINDSEY

What a fucking asshole. Just when I think that we’re starting to get somewhere, he goes and throws gasoline on the fire, burning us in fiery flames and assuring that we will never be more than fuck buddies. “You’ve made that crystal clear. Don’t worry. I’ll be out of your hair by the end of the week.” I turned and stormed out of the house, pissed that I had let the stupid, sexy man get to me. This was my life and he had barged in and taken over. Not only did he destroy my business, but now he was tearing me to shreds. What the fuck was I going to do? I just bought a fucking house in town and now I was stuck here, in the same fucking town as a complete asshole that thought he was God’s gift to women. I didn’t even realize that I had no clue where I was going until it started to get dark and I was getting cold. I had stormed out of the house in just my sweater, and even though it was warm, it wasn’t enough in the dead of winter. I hadn’t noticed the chill because I was so upset over the way John was treating me. I turned to head home and found myself all twisted and turned around. Nothing looked familiar and I didn’t see any sign that I had been on this path before. I should have been paying attention. Why did I let myself get lost in my head? To make matters worse, it started raining, chilling me to the bone. I looked up to the darkening sky and felt like crying. Why the hell had I decided to walk out here all alone? I was so fucking stupid. My shoes were sloshing in the mud and my feet were chilled to the bone. When I came to a fork in the path, I looked around, hoping for some sign of where to go. Anything to point me in the right direction, but there was nothing. Tears slipped down my cheeks as despair set in. I was freezing and I wanted to go take a hot shower. I wanted to snuggle under some blankets and pretend like I was back at my bed and breakfast, in my own bed. Or even better, I wished that I was wrapped in John’s arms, even if he was an asshole. I took the path to the right and prayed that it was the right direction. I walked for hours, and still saw nothing that looked familiar. I was shaking and wet when I spotted the hollowed out tree. Not wanting to walk anymore for now, I crawled into the hole and curled up in a quivering ball, hoping that I could warm up just a little. Maybe it would stop raining soon and I could find my way out of here. Otherwise, I would be spending the night in this dark tree. Owls screeched outside and bugs were crawling inside.
