Let's Get Married

After finally checking out of the club, Lily could only think about how big of a mistake she had made.

One good thing was she hadn’t spent any money. But she hadn’t slept with a one of the club boys, but with one of clients. But, she thought, who cares who he is, right?

Lily couldn’t stop thinking about this strange new feeling she felt. She realized that she hadn’t even felt this way when Tim first cheated on her

As she is thinking about it, the mobile phone in the bag suddenly rings. Sure enough, it is Tim.

Lily closes her eyes gently, then quickly picks up.

“You have some nerve calling me.”

“Lily how dare you not come home. Where did you go last night?” Tim's grumpy voice rings in her ear.

Lily smiles bitterly, “Why, are you and Jade finished now? Is it my turn?”

“Stopping acting so strange. Wherever you are, I am calling you to tell you that mom will come to the house today. You'd better come back before noon!”

Lily notices that Tim feels no guilty at all. He doesn’t even view Jade as anything but a toy.

Lily knows at that moment that she cannot take this anymore.

For a moment Lily can only admire what a jerk Tim really is. Lily quickly responds, “Why don’t you find Jade and have her met your mother.”

“You...”

Before he finishes, Lily hangs up the phone. She was once so obsessed with his voice. She used to watch the phone all day just so she could hear his voice. Now that sound makes her feel sick.

Thinking of the past also makes Lily makes her sick. She knows that she needs to treat herself with respect and that before she can love again she needs to learn how to love herself.
