Island Love ON HOLD

Chapter 3

I am so tired so this might not even get far and I’ll probably finish it tomorrow but I figured I should start it now. I am now writing this in the morning. I fell asleep before I could get to the second sentence. That is so pathetic of me. Well I am excited for this chapter. The real start to the plot will either start this chapter or next chapter. I’m not sure yet since I just write and I never have any idea what the chapter will be like until it’s done. Anyways here we go!

Emily’s POV

          Mr. Tanner drove me the bar downtown for a drink. I didn’t trust him just like how I didn’t trust any other man but he was kind enough to me for me to just go along with what he’s doing.

Being sexy also helped his ability to reason with me and earn my respect.

When we arrived at the bar he stepped out and walked to my side. I wasn’t trying to get him to open my door for me. I just didn’t want to go in there. I wanted to sit in a bed and cry my eyes out.

I don’t know why this hurt so much, but it did. Maybe it was because Amy was involved? No, she has slept with one of my ex- boyfriends before and it didn’t hurt as much as this did. Maybe it was because I loved Jackson.

I know it’s stupid but he was my first love. He was the one I married and he did this to me. It hurt like hell when he abused me but at least he was doing that sexual stuff to me. But to go and do that with my best friend was like a knife to the chest.

“Come on Mrs. Taylor, let’s get a drink.”

I slid out of the car and moped over to the door. Mr. Tanner followed behind me. He opened the door and I walked inside. I was so pissed off right now I just wanted to cry yet punch someone in the face.

“Let’s just sit and talk Mrs. Taylor.”  He said

I nodded and made my way over to the bar. Jackson brought me here a lot. I sat in the seat I usually sat in and Mr. Tanner sat in Jackson’s seat. I sighed when he did but turned my attention to the bartender, Luke.

“Hey Emily how are you tonight? Where’s Jackson?”

“Don’t even talk about him. Just give me a shot of something I don’t care what.”

He nodded and looked over at Mr. Tanner.

“The same thing I guess”

He nodded and walked off to order our drinks. Mr. Tanner looked over at me and I just kept my head down. I didn’t want sympathy for making the mistake of marrying a cheater and an abuser. The thing that hurt me the most was he acted like he cared only because Amy and Mr. Tanner were there. If it was someone neither of us knew he would of screamed at me to get out.

I gritted my teeth and shut my eyes tightly. I couldn’t let Mr, Tanner see me like this. I was his secretary not his friend. I took a deep breath and raised my head when Luke came back with my drink. I had used this as a method to forget coming home to his cheating and Luke knew it too.

Luke was part of Jackson’s gang but he was one of the good guys. Luke really was a good guy and he was one of my best friends. He leaned against the counter and wiped a tear away.

“What damage did he do this time sweet heart?”

Mr. Tanner looked over at me rubbed my back as I tried to spit the words out. I didn’t know why Mr. Tanner was even still here. I was greatful that he was there to get me out of that situation but he didn’t have to stick around and pretend like he was sorry for me.
