My Bully’s Love by Stacy Rush

– Movie Night 

I have to close the coffee shop down today, so by the time seven in the evening rolls around, I’m a bit exhausted, but it feels good to be out and working again. With the boss on va cation, they have both Becky and I working the same shifts this week which is fine by me because we actually get work done, unlike other employees. 

“So, any plans for your birthday this weekend?” Becky asks as we lock up. 

“I don’t think so. We haven’t really talked about it much, so we will probably just stay in like we did for his.” | grin. 

“Oh, and I’m sure that was just so boring! I would love to be shut up in an apartment with someone like Jace. Sorry, El la, but your man is hot; he’s my eye candy.” My friend giggles. 

“As long as you keep your hands off, you can look all you want.” I wink at her. 

“You are crazy! If I had a man like that, I’d throat punch a bitch if she looked at my man the way I look at yours!” 

I turn to her, “So, you want me to throat punch you, is that what you’re saying?” 

“No! I mean, I would never try anything because you’re my friend, but if it’s some random, then for sure.” 

I chuckle, “I know that Jace loves me, and I give him every thing he needs and wants, so I’m not worried about him leav ing me.” 

Becky studies me for a moment, “Would you ever leave him? I mean, what would make you leave a guy like him, aside from cheating?” 

I shrug, “I’ve never thought about’it because I don’t think I ever would. I guess if he decides that he doesn’t want me any more, then that would be one way.” 

She rolls her eyes at me, “Of course. You two are just so cute that it makes me sick sometimes.” She laughs, not mean ing anything bad by it.
