Chapter 4: God Is A Woman

"I'm up! I'm up!" I pulled on the dress and tripped over the heels, grabbing them off the floor and zipping the dress as I yanked my purse off the desk chair and hurried out my room.

"Bella!" Mom called loudly.

I know! I know!

Running down the stairs, I hurried with mom watching Donna stand by the car giving me a small scowl.

I know, I know.

"The Lord should not be waited on." She stated aggressively while I got in the back and slammed the door shut pulling my heels on.

I honestly doubt the Lord gives a shit about whether we go to church Sunday mornings and pray.

I'm sure Gods got bigger things to worry about than a bunch of people praising and thanking him. Or her.

As everyone got in, Marcus jumped in the back, squishing me between him and Donna.

He wreaks.

I crossed my arms over my chest and tried my best to avoid breathing in.

We got to the church and Cleo was skating back and forth with her sign that said "God Is A Woman" and Nathan sat on the bench with his skateboard propped up while his sign said "God Doesn't Care If You Go To Church".

I couldn't help but snicker a bit at that.

Mom rushed us out the car muttering things like "God please forgive their souls" and then telling us not to read the signs.

Cleo skated over to mom and smiled down at her since she had a few inches on mom in her skates, "Don't let a man tell you that the gates of heaven are at the feet of a man." She said cocking an eyebrow.

Instead of responding, mom rushed past her and inside with dad.

Marcus and Donna scowled at the two and I gave Cleo a small smile, "God's a woman Bells." She said sweetly.

I went to say she was probably right, but an arm was thrown over my shoulder. My hand was grabbed discreetly and I felt the ring shoved back on.

Fucker.

"Don and Mark. Why don't you two fuck off and let us believe what we want?" Justin asked before scoffing and leading me inside.

That was rude.

"That wasn't very nice, Justin. You know they're just voicing their right to believe in what they want." I retaliated while he rolled his eyes, "Not in front of my church." He said sitting down and gesturing for me to sit with him.

Last night I went to the church party which a bunch of idiot Christians get drunk and mingle about God. Well my fiancé, Justin, was locking lips with some girl from out of town. I caught him but he kept saying it wasn't anything serious.

He made out with another girl! I think that's something serious! If I was kissing another guy, he'd have lost his shit.

I shrugged his arm off me as he tossed it back over my shoulder. Adjusting in the seat, I stared at the door as Mr. Coleson walked in talking a bit loudly to Damien.

Damien walked in and guided Mr. Coleson to one of the benches sitting down beside him.

I can't even begin to explain my level of embarrassment after last night. I'm sure he heard and saw a lot of what happened between Justin and I.

Sighing, I stared up as the whole thing began.

An hour later, it was over and I stood with Justin, getting ready to go enjoy our brunch.
