Chapter Fifteen – Kenzi

I jolt awake and place my hand over my hammering heart when I hear an angry bellow coming from somewhere in the house. Immediately I recognize that voice belongs to Justyce.

My brain feels foggy as I take in the room around me. Heat rises up my neck at the thought of everything that occurred last night, and on this very bed.

Throwing the covers off, I stretch my hands over my head feeling every aching muscle that was used last night. Realizing I’m smiling, I scold myself and head for the bathroom.

Stepping into the bathroom is like stepping into a five-star hotel and it steals my breath for a quick second. My eyes instantly gravitate to the mahogany red feature wall then slowly to the beige ones surrounding it. Gazing down, I see large white shiny tiles adorn the floor, with a massive black and white hot tub in the center and a shower to the far left with a removeable head. There is a black granite vanity with a white sink to the right, and next to it is a toilet that’s calling my name.

After using the toilet, I catch my reflection in the mirror and wince at seeing all the bruises on my body. Turning the tap on I begin to wash my hands and see blood under my nails.

Embarrassment flounders inside of me like a fish out of water when I remember using Justyce’s back like a damn scratching post.

“Good one, Kenz. You sure showed him how much you didn’t want him,” I admonish myself out loud.

The tub behind me calls to me as I pull my hair over my shoulder and braid it. Fuck yes. Just what I need to wash Justyce’s lingering phantom touch off me, along with these wayward emotions and thoughts. I snort as my inner slut pipes up and rolls her eyes. Yeah, sure, because that’s worked over the last eleven years hasn’t it.

Mentally I flip her off and walk toward the white hot tub and turn the faucets on. Hot steam billows out immediately, permeating around the bathroom and making a nice soak seem even more inviting.

While the water fills up, I search around the bathroom to see if I can find any salts or oils to throw into the water. Crouching down in front of the black granite vanity, I open the black cupboard door to find some bath salts, lavender, along with more essential oils and a few other bits and pieces.

Dumping the salts and lavender into the water, I sit on the side of the bath and reflect on what my life was and what it’s become.

I ruminate about my job and apartment in New York, about James. Yeah sure I wasn’t completely happy, and my life may have seemed too comfortable to some, maybe even boring as shit. But it was my mundane existence, and it shouldn’t have been Dereke’s deception that shook my world up like a damn snow globe, bringing me back to the one place I promised never to return to − Dana Point.
