08 - (Not) a keeper

Dax

I couldn't believe that Rebecca was here. Even more, I couldn't believe that she wanted to talk to me...and that she didn't want to go away. I have nothing to say to her. We were done. Said what I had to say a few months ago when I ended this...thing... that was going on between us. I can't even call it a relationship, because it was mostly her telling me that she didn't like the way I lived my life and me trying not to listen to her bitching about it. I ready don't know why I was with her in the first place. Yeah, she was pretty, she was tall with a slim figure, long straight blond hair, blue doll eyes, plummy lips, great ass. Yeah, she was good for looking at, but when she opened that mouth of hers...you start to regret being near her. The venom she was so ready to spill on you was endless. I was trying to ignore Rebecca when I heard Lily's voice. She was trying to persuade the intruder to walk away. Yeah, good luck with that. I never managed to make her do something that Becca wasn't willing to do. When she set her mind on something, oh, boy, you better prepare for the ride.

The two girls were arguing, and I took a second to look at them. They were so different, the icy drama queen standing next to the sweet and lovely baking goddess. I really hated myself for giving Becca so much time of my life. Two years with her were way too much time.

I was still thinking about all the bullshit that she put me through when I heard what she was saying.

"Who do you think you are talking to, you bitch!" My whole body was ready to bolt from my place. She had no right to talk that way to Lily. "Fucking Dax doesn't give you the..."

"Okay, that its, Rebecca." I quickly stood up, put Ace's collar in Lily's hand, held Becca for her forearm and dragged her out of the bar. This shit has to end. "What the fuck do you want, Rebecca?" She hated hearing her full name and that was the reason why I always used it. Didn't see the point in making her happy in any way.

"Would it hurt you telling me 'Becca', it's so much easier...and you know that I hate when you call me like that." She pouted at me.

"I don't care whether you like it or not. Now say whatever you have to say. I need to go back in there."

"So you could fuck your new toy? C'mon, Dax, we both know that she has nothing on me. I don't even know why you are even trying with her. You won't find anyone better than me, and you know it..." She continued rambling bullshit when I was doing my best not to make a scene out of it. Not because I cared what the people in the bar or around us thought of me, but because I was still in my uniform. Didn't want tomorrow's news telling everyone about an abusive police officer or something like that. The chief won't be happy with me if it happens.

"I don't know why you think you have a say in my life, but you don't. I can talk, date or fuck whomever I want. It's not your business. Now, is there anything else you want to tell me?" I was barely holding myself. She always managed to get on my nerves and make me lose control and I hated her for that.

"C'mon, Dax." She came closer to me and I took a step back. Didn't want her anywhere near me. "You know that we were so good together." One step forward for her, one step backwards for me. "And the sex was awesome." Another steps "You really know how to work my body and I missed it" so that's what it was all about?!? She was missing my dick. "Why don't we start all over?" Oh, fuck no. I stopped my retreat and get in her face letting her see all the anger in my eyes.

"Listen to me very carefully, because I'll say it one last time, Rebecca. We. Are. Over. Done. There's nothing between us and there will be nothing in the future too. I don't want to have anything to do with you, so stay away from me. And for sure you ain't gonna be getting near my dick, so save your breath, your bullshit words have no effect on me. I don't miss you at all. Live is so much better when you are not around me. So, move on, find someone else to harass. Don't talk to me, get near me...and for sure don't get near Lily or I'll arrest your ass and put you in jail." Her eyes got bigger on my last words. "And don't, worry, I'll find a way to get you arrested, you are not so good in keeping your shit to yourself." With that I was done with her. So, I left her staring at my back while I made my way into the bar.
