HER TEMPER

My life is in his hands now, and this sapphire... why do I have to wear it. I try to take it off and hear my husband’s voice.

"Don’t even think of removing it. I know you are in pain because he tried to hurt you. That’s how humans are, " he stated.

"I can’t even take it off, it’s like it will be stuck in my ear for a long, long time. I don’t want to get cut." I whined.

"I will start giving you advice on how to kill him tomorrow." He declared.

"Okay, I hope it works." I said and walked out of the bathroom. I stole a glance at him and walked to my desk. I saw the files an employee brought to me for him to review. I swallowed my saliva and picked up the files.  

I walked slowly to him without looking up, I placed the files on his desk and tried to walk away when he grasped my hand.

"i am sorry Lucinda," he muttered.

Why is he apologizing now? He thinks he can do whatever he wants.

"hmm."  I mumbled and took my hand from him and walked back to my seat.

                                                     The Author's Point of View

It’s evening, and Ralph arranged his desk and looked at Lucinda, who is organizing her things.

He finished arranging his desk and grabbed his suit from his chair and puts it on. Lucinda carried her bag 

She looked at him and smiled. He approached her and she bowed her head slightly.

"I will be going now, so bye," she said, and ran into the elevator.

"No, don’t go." Ralph said, and he hit his fist hard on the wall.

Lucinda got out of the office and waved Barbie goodbye. She called a taxi and it drove her home.

She heard people laughing inside the house and opened the door. She saw Medusa and a guy on the couch talking. She sighed and walked into the house.

"Hudson, this is my sister. I was telling you about?" Medusa said.

"Hi Lucinda, I have heard a lot about you, I must say you are a beauty," he said, and Lucinda blushed and drag Medusa to the bedroom.

She slammed the door.

"What are you thinking, bringing a human home?" Lucinda snapped.

"Chill he is the guy I was telling you about. Isn’t he cute?" Medusa inquired.

"I don’t care if he is cute or not, I don’t want this to repeat itself." Lucinda muttered.

"What the big deal about bringing a human home, are you angry." Medusa said, trying to touch her face, she hit her hand away.

"Leave me alone," Lucinda said, and walked into the bathroom.

"I will be in the living room if you need me!" Medusa yelled

"Go away, I don’t need you." Lucinda scoffed, and Medusa stared at the bathroom for a moment, trying to twist the doorknob.

"Go away, I want to be alone. Lucinda scoffed…. Medusa let go of the doorknob and walked to the left room to join Hudson back on the couch.
