1021 Words
"No I am not", Yvonne responded in a defensive manner strolling as fast as a rat in between the shelves.
Tasha who had known her friend for a while now, knew that she was going through something though she was trying to act tough.
Stanley, without any regrets about what had just happened, told her that he will
slap her again if she does not behave herself.
Becky could not withstand the slap as the sound of bells rang in her ear making her feel dizzy.
Holding on to the last thing she remembers before the heavy slap met her face joining her ear to it, she screamed out in pain and her telling Stanley to be ready for what will come his way.
Stanley who went back to sitting on the couch looked at his hands as if he had violated the promise he had made to his mother and that is to hit a woman.
Muttering in his seat, he felt bad for Becky for laying his hand on her but her nagging attitude and insecurities were driving him crazy.
Standley, taking up his head and glimpsing at Becky behave like a possessed woman in his bedroom, he could only imagine what he will go through in the hands of such a character if he ever listens to his Mother's plan of getting married to her.
To him, going out with Becky was a huge mistake that he had done, and that will take him some time to get out of it as she was not ready to accept the fact that it was crystal clear between them.
Taking up to himself and rising to his feet walking towards Becky to apologize, she was sobbing heavily on his bed and he sat on the bed by her and let out,
"I am so sorry for hitting you Becky, and I promise it will not happen again", Stanley spoke out with regret as he saw her in that state but his mind was made up not to have anything with her anymore.
Becky raised her eyes to look at him she spat on his face telling him to go to hell.
Stanley peered through his room and the thought of hitting her till she passes out was was was suitable in his mind but he had to hold his fists tight so as not to commit an error that he was going to regret.
Calming down like a man he got up from the bed and before he could lose his temper any further, he told Becky to get herself up from his bed and use the door before he does something they both will regret.
Upon hearing of this, Becky laughed out loud like a conjurer that has been promoted to a higher rank of mysticism.
Lifting his right hand and placing it on his chest, touched his heart from beating too fast, as he will not be able to control himself for long.
Becky raised a question about his sudden change and walking closer to Henry she interrogated,
" Are you doing all these because of her?", she let out waiting behind him to listen to his answer as she was very certain that she was the cause of all these problems.
He kept quiet and walked away from her as he head for the door, but Becky was bent on receiving some beating that night as she ran to the door, closed it, and put the keys in her pocket.
"I will not let you out of my sight, you think I do not know that you are having an affair with Yvonne?", Becky continued with her nagging and unfounded accusations.
It was very valid that Standley had strong feelings for her since their school days and he had never had the aptitude of erasing her portrait in his head and heart, but what he was not sure of is whether or not Yvonne felt the same way for him or not.
He just stood there looking at the kind of strange lady he had been with and the blood clot in his body for some seconds before beginning to flow through again normally.
Becky continued with her rankings and speculation telling him how she will never love someone like him, and that he could keep dreaming for the day when she is going to look his way because it will never happen as she is a loose woman.
Those last words that came out of Becky's maw, drove Henry insane as he could not stand there and act silently any longer.
" What did you just say girl?, did you just call Yvonne a loose woman?", What are you them?", he questioned Becky, walking closer to her and she was stepping backward with the anger that she could observe in Henry's orifice and the irritation in his vocalist.
Frightened by his animosity, Becky's lips shivered as she became conscious of what was going on.
Stanley reminded her of who the loose woman is between Yvonne and she interrogated Becky about who the most brilliant one in their school days was, as well as asked if running matters that concern her family's business and how she is treating her was being loose.
"Does she appears loose to you? does a loose woman behave, act, and dress like her?", he proceeded with his phrases, and each word that came out of his mouth, hurt Becky so much as she realized that moment that he never cared for her and was never going to be able to love her.
He had always had high esteem for ladies including the ones that he had dated but Becky's stupidity, cheap nature, nagging and idiotic attitude could make him go mad.
She was constantly insecure whether because of Yvonne or some other lady Stanley was talking to and she always wanted to be around him, following him all over and monitoring who he talks with, observes, works, and sometimes where he goes.
"No I am not", Yvonne responded in a defensive manner strolling as fast as a rat in between the shelves.
