predictable? Routine? Too wife-like?” she thought angrily to herself. “Well you know what? Now is the time for me to stop being so predictable. I’m tired of this shit!” She wiped her tears away forcefully. Thank goodness she was wearing waterproof makeup because she’d look like a clown right about now.
Words couldn’t describe the pain but she was tired of always being there for someone. It was time to show herself what she deserved and what she was made of. It was time for someone to take care of Emma. Though she knew she was always a good woman, maybe it was time for her to be bad. It was time for Emma to unleash her wild side. “Fuck being tamed.” She got her make up back together with the items from her purse and prepared herself for the upcoming mediation. She knew that after she left the doors of her office, she would never come back the same woman. Daniel was who hurt her to her core, but he was also about to be the reason that she became a new woman. For once, Emma decided it was time to do something for her. Emma got her things together as she began to write down notes with a tad bit of a smirk on her face. She actually anticipated being bad. Emma anticipated letting go of her inhibitions and facing her fears. It was time for Emma to give her life a try and leave some of her fears behind.
Chapter Seven
As Emma finished up with her mediations a couple of hours later, she began to get her things ready to go so she could enjoy her vacation. Hank stopped by her office before she left the building. He closed the door behind him as he walked over to her.
“How are you feeling hun?” he coaxed gently.
Emma couldn’t really feel the pain anymore, ever since she had that little epiphany earlier. For some reason she tried to just repress the pain of her past and think of what good could come from her naughty and enticing future.
“I’m actually doing ok for right now. I know the pain will come crashing back soon enough but I definitely just need to get out of this building. Plus, there’s someone here that I cannot stand to see at this moment.”
“What? Who are you talking about?” Hank questioned.
“I don’t even think I want to talk about it right now. But I just know that a little later, I think you’ll know what I’m talking about. I refuse to be the reason someone loses their job because I could fire her right now. But karma’s a bitch.”
“Are you referring to Samantha? What’d she do? Do you want me to fire her now?”
“I’m not ready to talk about it, but I will most definitely call you after I’m more relaxed on this vacation.”
“That’s fine with me. Have fun. Let your hair down and forget about this douche. He’ll get what’s coming to him. You never know what you have until it’s gone.”
“I sure hope he realizes. But even if he doesn’t, I need a break anyways.” Emma gave Hank a hug and thanked him again for this break he was giving her. As she walked out of the doors and past Samantha she decided not to look at her and just put in her IPod’s headphones to pretend she was listening to music. She walked fast past everyone with her briefcase and exhaled once she got in the elevator.
After twenty minutes of driving, Emma finally got home and took off her shoes. She checked her voicemail and had no new messages. What was needed right now was a great bath. She also needed to figure out just where she was going for this wonderful, relaxing, luxurious vacation. As she went to get her water running, she picked up some of her lavender candles. The smell always eased her stress while making her smell magnificent. As the water ran lightly she went to her laptop and started to search for getaways just for singles. She needed to find a place where she could just relax and not have to worry about seeing other couples. Singles resorts it was. But then again, she didn’t want to look lonely. “Maybe I’ll just look for a spa resort. Hmm, yes that will do” she
