Why is it that whenever something starts feeling right, someone is around the corner, ready to ruin everything for me?

I never thought I would see that guy again. Why would I? We don’t hang around in the same crowd and only met through a dating app. To be honest, I hadn’t even thought about him; there have been more important things to occupy my mind. But when I least expected it, there he was, calling me every name under the sun.

Why did I think people’s reactions would be any different from his? I’m one woman sleeping with three different men. I’ve seen first-hand how people treated Jasmine when she went public with the guys. I know she hid it from the O’Reilly’s, but a few girls we dance with have been so mean, and they have caused all kinds of trouble that Danielle and I have witnessed. But Jasmine is so much stronger than me, and she has risen above it all, coming out the other side like a new woman. I’m so proud of her.

I know that’s what I need to do. But it's hard when you have spent your whole life doing what others expect of you. I don’t want to be that person anymore. Yet, I don’t know how to change.

“I’m so sorry, Baby Girl, that was all my fault.”

I look up to Ethan, who is sitting in the passenger seat. He’s turned around to look at me as I sit beside Travis, leaning against him, not wanting to be alone.

“What do you mean?” Travis asks. Ethan lets out a sigh and rubs his face.

“He was the dickhead I was referring to when I said I had bumped into one. He came into the bar with the woman he cheated on you with and some mates. I didn’t think and humiliated him in front of them all.”

I hear Travis groan beside me.

“How?” he demands through gritted teeth.

“By repeating his excuse for cheating on her and asking the girl if she ever had to fake it. I also pointed out that I have no issues making Verity scream.” Ethan stares at me for a moment, obviously waiting for me to cry again, but instead, I find myself giggling. I know how much Marshall loves to brag to his friends and would have made out that I was the problem when he switched to a new woman.

“You aren’t mad?” Ethan asks from his seat. I shake my head as I smile at him.

“No, that would have been the worst thing you could have done to him. Take it the woman didn’t argue when you asked if she faked it?”

Ethan shakes his head, but Ryan answers as he glances at me through the rearview mirror.

“She looked embarrassed as hell. Which just confirmed Ethan was right.”

“No wonder he was so pissed off,” Travis says beside me. “What were you thinking?”

“I wasn’t really. I just wanted to hurt him like he had hurt her.” Ethan reaches round for me to take his hand.
