Lake Roman
“I’m done,” I say, exasperated at the entire situation.
“What do you mean, you’re done?” Chad asks with a frown.
His big ass is lounging on my soft caramel leather couch in front of the tv.
Do you know that moment when you realize you have been wasting your
time? That nothing you do is ever going to fix or change the situation and
you just have to cut your losses? Yeah, this is that moment.
“I mean,” I say slowly, trying to make sure that he takes in every single
word that comes out of my mouth. “I am done with this relationship.”
I am brutally aware that this is a shitty time of the year to do this. It’s only
eight days before Christmas and I am ending our relationship and kicking
him out of my apartment. And maybe if I could stand his smug face for a
minute longer, I would wait until after the new year.

He laughs, never looking away from the screen. “Babe, be serious.”
This is the attitude that makes me not care about the time of the year or
anything else. I simply want this over.
“I am serious.” I glare, trying to keep a grip on the last bit of my control.
“So, you are just going to throw away the last eighteen months? I thought
you were happy.” he looks skeptical, finally facing me.
I growl low in the back of my throat. “You’re an idiot.”
“Lake, listen,” he starts in a patronizing tone, but I cut him off.
“No! It’s time for you to listen to me.” I pace the length of the lounge,
taking deep breaths to steady myself.
I always get like this in these kinds of situations. Like a caged tiger, my
mother used to say. He isn’t listening to a word I have been saying for the
last hour, only hearing what he wants, and it is driving my temper to its
peak.
Taking a deep breath, I try again.
“I’m not happy. I haven’t been for a while now, but I kept on trying to fix
us. I was sure we could be happy if I just put in more effort, but it’s not
working. But I am tired of being the only person in this failing relationship
that is doing anything.”
“What are you saying?”
He has a grin spread across his lips; the same one he has used to get out of
fights before. He is trying to seduce me, but it won’t work this time. My
temper snaps and the words leave me before I consider the consequences.
“Get the fuck out!” I roar.
A split second later, Chad has me pressed against the front door. His claws
are already extended, the black bear beneath already pushing to the surface.
The pressure on my throat is harsh and I can’t draw in a breath.
“You really don’t want to piss me off Lake. Remember who and what I
am.”
