"This...Is What I Should've Done

Chapter 1

BRANDY

"What goes on in here.. STAYS, in here"

Standing under the oversized showerhead, Brandy scolded herself..." I can't do this shit anymore." She felt her tears run down her cheeks and mix amongst the hot water. She could barely open her mouth an inch, both her top and bottom lip were painfully swollen. As much as she'd tried to stop herself from producing anymore tears, her attempts were pointless.

Applying "Honey&Oat" shower gel into her sponge, she then noticed the change in the waters temperature. "Oh well...his balls can freeze for all I care." Gently massaging the shower gel in circular motions over her bruised, petite, chocolate frame. Brandy had began to tune out the sounds coming from her now brisk shower, and home in on a faint familiar tune approaching the master bathroom.

"Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wendsday...Saturday Love."...

The tune, or lack thereof, used to be one of her favorites, "Saturday Love". Since the noise was getting louder, and the singer wasn't getting any better with his "Tone Deaf" ass, Brandy decided the endure the pain from her very tender flesh and get her shower over with, to avoid crossing Steve's path and fucked up disposition.

With her head turned in the direction of the bathroom doors, she held her sponge under the flowing cold water and quickly made hast to cleanse her body from any remaining lather.

She no longer heard him singing.

Nervous and on the brink of panic, so she turned the shower off. Placing her sponge in it's proper place, she slowly turned to face the shower door. Brandy reached out to slide the door open, then stopped deciding against it once she saw the handle of the bathroom's door turn.

Quickly hitting the switch to frost the glass of the shower door, she stood motionless, listening behind the shower glass. She figured it best he not view anymore of her "delights" even if they were bruised and swollen. "I'm STILL fabulous, you fake "Throwback" "Fredie Monster-looking" mofo".
