Fatal intimacy

Chapter one

My name is Ruby Daniels. I am 28 years old, and I was born and raised in Miami, Florida. Miami is known for their great beaches and live music, it is the place where everyone come to escape and forget all of their problems. Out of all the other seasons the summer time is where the beach is filled with tourists walking around in their beach wear with loud music playing.

Growing up we use to love the summertime, our family would come out to the beach everyday. My brother would surf, my mom would write, and my sister and I would build sand castles. My father didn't like to participate in family events, but years later I learned that it was because he was planning on having another family of his own.

My parents divorced when I was 12 years old, my father had an affair and my mom knew about it for years but she got tired of pretending that we were the perfect family when she heard that his mistress was pregnant. The day my mom found out that he was having a baby by the other woman was the day our family was broken completely, my mom would just lock herself in her room for the whole day leaving me to take care of my little sister who was 8 at the time, my brother is 3 years older than me but he would always go out to surf, I don't blame him it was just the way he chose to deal with the situation. I on the other hand never really dealt with it emotionally, I just kept it pushing and never spoke about it.

When I got to high school my mother got her frustration out by writing, my mom is now a New York Times best selling author. She is known for writing romance novels with epic endings. She always tell me that what happened was supposed to happen to help us grow as a person but I don't believe that, I don't think I can ever trust a man to truly love me, I witnessed the way he treated her and that have scarred me as a woman.

My brother and sister dealt with the situation and got over it and so have my mother, but I just left it in the back of my mind and kept it pushing.

My brother has been married for 5 years, he met his wife in college and they have been inseparable ever since. My sister is a lesbian, she have been with her girlfriend for over 2 years now, my mom started to date back when I was in high school but she never got serious with anyone. I on the other hand just have bad luck with men, everybody that I dated either cheated on me or abused me or did both.

I fell in love with painting, I started painting when I was about 10, at first I wanted to be a painter but when I got to college I figure it would be hard to make a living off of that so I changed my mind and tried marketing. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the office that I was working at as an advertising manager's intern during my time in college so I got my bachelor's in advertising.

As soon as I graduated they offered me a job and I took it. I like my job but I wouldn't say that I love what I do, I still paint and sell them online but it's not enough for me to live off of so I just deal with my job.

I haven't talked to my dad since my 18th birthday, he use to call us often to try to be there for us but I just stopped watering a plant that's not growing. He would call once a month and the conversation would be about 2 minutes then he go move on with his life. On my 18th birthday I decided to just forget about him as if he doesn't exist. My brother don't speak to him and when my sister came out to him he stopped speaking to her because he "does not tolerate that type of behavior" as if he was in our lives to be tolerating shit.

I moved out of my mom's house when I got my job after college, I decided to get a cottage beach house because I always felt at peace by the water. I have to wake up extra early for work because it's a 20 minutes drive but I don't mind. I love my house, how small and cozy it is. Even though my family live far away from me we are still close and we see each other every 2 week for our Sunday brunch.
