I’d never disclosed my sexual history to Ms. May, only gotten tested for diseases. Naturally, I’d had none.
“Halo,” Ashton approached. “Are you ready to get married?”
I could only nod my head as he pulled forth the biggest diamond ring I’d ever seen.
Fuck, I thought again.
HALO
Six months later….
Light was peeping through the blinds on the third story of the room that I occupied. Rolling over onto my stomach I stared at the rock occupying my left ring finger.
I still had holy shit moments.
Like, I’d gotten married.
I was married.
Although my husband seemed to hate my fucking guts.
Giving my finger a wiggle, I noted the light reflecting through the diamond. It almost appeared as if it were glowing.
There was a knock on my bedroom door and I sat up looking around. My robe was hanging on the back of the door.
“Just a second,” I gave a holler.
Once it was settled onto my body, and secure, I opened the door to find a teenager with attitude. Luna Tanaka had a purple hair and nose piercing that she’d just acquired in the last week or so.
“Hi,” I tried to offer her a smile.
Instead, she sneered. “Maggie wants you.”
My brand new step-niece seemed to hate my guts even more than her uncle seemed to.
“Is something the matter?” I asked following behind her.
She didn’t reply only kept walking until we were on the second floor.
“Hey Maggie,” I offered a smile stepping into the large bathroom that the two girls shared.
“My hair,” the eight-year-old sighed like she’d been on this planet way too long already.
“How can I help?”
She stepped up onto the pink and purple step stool that was decorated with unicorns, before handing me a brush.
“I need zig-zags, lady,” she said. “Every girl in my class has zig-zags and now that I don’t have a mom…”
“Maggie!” Luna cried and I looked back to see that her eyes had widened in horror.
From what I knew, their mom had been murdered and no one knew who had done it.
We locked eyes and for just a moment, I thought she might say something more but instead, she stormed from the room.
Maggie shrugged it off and waited for me to fix her hair.
When we were done, the two of us headed down to have some breakfast.
