Baddest

Chapter 2

I'm having the best dream. I know it's a dream because I'm at the concert, and I'm right up front in the pit. I'm singing along with the crowd, watching Colson move across the stage. Suddenly the music is cut by this loud buzzing sound, I plug my ears and everything around me starts to fade.

I groan and reach blindly to grab my phone. "Dammit." I grumble when I find it, the source of the buzzing and the reason my dream fucking ended.

I accept the call without even checking to see who it is. "Hello?"

"Why the hell does it say you're going to that trash concert?" Kyle snaps. Great start to the day.

I rub my eyes sleepily and sigh. "Because I'm going with Lindsay. Not that it's any of your business."

"I'm your boyfriend, it's definitely my business that you're sneaking around to pull this shit."

I roll my eyes. "Kyle, you are not my boyfriend anymore. I don't know if yesterday was somehow unclear to you, but that was a break up. I can go where I want, with who I want, whenever I want. I am over having to check with you first, those days are gone and you need to accept that. I'll be over to get my stuff, maybe next week. I'll be staying with Lindsay."

For a few moments I just hear heavy breathing. I can feel the anger through the phone, but I'm not backing down. Finally he speaks. "You're going to regret this. You'll be back."

"Yeah? Well, don't hold your breath on that one." I end the call and toss my phone onto the blanket.

"Sounds like a fun morning conversation!" Lindsay says sarcastically as she walks by to get to the kitchen.

"Tons of fun." I smile and sit up.

She grabs her keys and purse. "I'm off to work, there's a key for you on the counter. Lock up if you leave. Feel free to setup that guest bedroom for yourself if you'll be staying here. The couch is great, but not for every night. Love you!" She smiles as she exits the house.

"Love you!" I call out to her and laugh. My best friend is amazing.

I must have been pretty tired because I end up crashing for a few more hours. I wake up closer to noon. I shower and raid Lindsay's closet for some clean clothes. I could grab some of mine from home today while Kyle works, but I think I'd rather just go out a buy a few things. I don't want to chance him coming home early or show up to find he's hanging around the house today. I grab the spare key and head out to grab some essentials.

Since its Tuesday, the mall isn't too bad. I make my way through the stores, finding everything I need. I bought a couple outfits, a few pairs of shoes, and a bed set for the guest bed at Lindsay's house. All I had left to get were bras and panties. I enter Victoria's Secret, hoping to be in and out of there quickly.

I browse the panties, selecting five pairs before I make my way over to the bras. I skip the risqué sex  lingerie because who the hell would I wear that for anytime soon? I'm looking through to find 30b when I hear a voice I recognize. I quickly hide behind the nearby clothing rack. The voice belongs to a girl I can't stand, her name is Morgan. She dated Kyle before me, and her mission in life was to make my life difficult whenever she could after he and I got together.

"What do you think of this one? So cute, right?" She gushes to her friend.

Her friend nods. "So cute. He'll love that."

"Kyle loves anything I wear." Morgan sasses before collecting her bra size.

"Yeah, but maybe he'll actually leave Madison if you wear this." Her friend says sarcastically.

My face is crimson red, and I'm ready to kill Kyle.

"Shut up." She hisses and tosses the bra back before stomping out of the store, fuming at her friend's remark. Someone struck a nerve.
