Rachel is pissed

Rachel Pov

I'm so fed up, it's now been two weeks that I've been in this dump, and I have done what I can to not have to stay here longer than I need to. That thug next door each time he sees I can tell that he is undressing me with his eyes, now he has started making rude comments towards me. To make things worse there is a younger kid not sure where he lives but I've seen him a few times and he is just as bad as the thug.

Jeremy isn't helping things, I don't understand why he isn't making the insurance company give us the money already, why is he acting like this is his new home, last week he came home saying we had been invited to a floor get-together, and I don't want anything to do with any of these people, luckily my date with Josh is that day so was able to talk my way out of it. Jeremy is a nice guy, but he just doesn't do it for me. We did have a good thing going but I don't know how long I will stay with him at this point. That bloody earthquake had ruined everything, my dream house, and Ethan had been killed.

My plans had been destroyed I was going to marry Jeremy and stay with him for a couple of years before divorcing him taking everything and then spending the rest of my life with Ethan in that house. Now I had no house and Ethan was gone.

I just needed out, but I needed a plan and someone to help, Josh seems a nice guy and he should be able to help me with this itch that I need to scratch, it has been too long since I last had some and I'm starting to feel it, and I just can't bring myself to even let Jeremy touch me anymore. I hope things go well with Josh so I can start a new life.

I was currently getting myself ready for my date with Josh, I had told Jeremy that it was a work outing to explain why I wasn't joining him to the floor crap today and to explain why I was getting so dressed up. God what was wrong with me I know it had been a long time since I last had sex, but I was feeling turned on, Josh might just get lucky tonight if he played, the cards right, I thought smiling to myself.

I finished getting ready and started looking for my phone, I looked down toward the living area and my heart dropped, there in Jeremy's hands was my phone and he was looking down at the screen. I hope Josh had not messaged; things were too soon to come out. I quickly went down the stairs "Is that my phone? I've been looking for it" I called out to Jeremy as I went.

"Yes, it is, I think you just had a message I was about to bring it up to you, here you go" he passed me the phone. I checked the phone and saw a message from Josh saying he had just left to pick me up and couldn't wait for our date. I looked him in the face trying to get a read to see if he had seen anything I didn't want him to see, but he looked the same as he smiled at me. "You look lovely dear I hope you have a good time at your work thing, it's a shame you can't join me to meet the people here," he said.

"I don't want to get to know these people, I just want out and move on with our lives" I snapped and turned my back to him and headed to the door, "I don't know if I will be back tonight," I said just before leaving.
