Reverse grumpy x sunshine
Kataleya Miller is an independent and not so social woman. She spends most of her nights drinking and isn't interested in another relationship since her previous break up. She isn't the luckiest person in the world and th...
Last night I had a dream...that reminded me just why I couldn't get in another relationship. No matter how nice and beautiful a person can seem at first, you never know how they really are.
Life has taught me that you can't control someone's loyalty. No matter how much they mean to you doesn't mean that they'll value you the same and sometimes the people you love and trust the most, turns out to be the people you trust the absolute least.
Once he showed me his true colors, there was no reason for me to believe that he was going to change and become better next time I saw him, because people are who they are.
Yet I was so blinded by the love he had shown me in the beginning that I had it hard to let him go. Never again. The red flags I ignored ended up being the reasons why I finally left.
The healing process was hard though. I would simply sit there crying and overthink as millions or even more questions ran through my mind. I was unable to sleep for weeks and I didn't eat because the points of regrets added to my mental list kept me from moving on.
He made me move to a whole other state which meant that I had to quit my culinary classes and change basically everything else in my life.
I was left with no money and no place to stay and that made everything so much worse. The amount of bathrooms I've cried myself to sleep in. Not even my own parents know that I was homeless for a month and a half since I told them I was living with a "friend".
I didn't have and still don't have any friends.
But one day I, who was that hopeless and emotionally drained girl, realized that I couldn't keep blaming myself for his inability to provide me with the type of love that I knew I deserved.
He was indeed a broken man and honestly, it wasn't meant for me to fix him. No, I didn't quit on him! I saved myself from even more pain he could put me through and I'm proud of that.
But I can't let my guard down, I know for sure that I can end up being heartbroken again and I've come so far for someone to drag me down to that pit hole I crawled my way out of.
I took a sip from my alcohol bottle as I carefully walked to the kitchen and took out the honey from my pantry. I have an unhealthy obsession of eating a few spoons of honey a day.
Doctors say it's good though.
As I was about to enter my version of heaven, the light from the pole outside shone on the liquid sugar solution in the plastic bottle which made me think of a certain person's golden eyes under the sun.
It angered me how nice he was. I mean he transferred money to my bank account the other day just because he felt bad and didn't want me to stress over the rent. What kind of person in their right mind sends a person they barely know money?
At the same time, he's so sweet...but I want him to stop being sweet to me. I don't like being rude but I don't have a choice. I can get attached very easily which means that I need to keep my distance and shut down every way that leads into my heart.
I don't want to hurt a man like him. A man who screams nothing but pure goodness and especially since he has a child he needs to focus on.
"Londyn Smith...calling" the sound of my phone on the bed brought me back to the present. I put my things down and walked over to the bed as I answered.
"Can I help you?" I speak without thinking. The words drip like venom from my tongue at the lack of patience I have with people today.
"Not even a hello?" He chuckles which causes me to roll my eyes. Another thing that I hate about him and it's that he always remains happy and calm when people obviously act cold and rude.
It's a good thing that he doesn't get fazed by others' behavior but sometimes it gets annoying when someone tries to act all cheery with you when you're fed up by having to bear up the "happy" mask all day long. It needs to be enough sometimes.
"I'm just joking. I know you're probably tired and don't want to deal with my bullshit at this hour but I have something important to tell you." He speaks with a calm understanding yet exciting tone.
"I'm all ears." I tell him while flopping down on my bed as I get submerged by the bug pillows and blankets.
"There's a job offer...BUT before you say no to the person who's interested, just know that he pays a very good amount of money and might even get you to tag along on trips."
His words make me jolt up in shock and excitement. I don't say anything for a moment as the sudden kick of adrenaline rushes through my body.
"Really?! Who wants to hire me?!" I ask, unable to hide my joy from having someone interested in allowing me to work for them.
"I do"
