"Honey, are you ready yet?" Jasmine called, pulling the sheets closer to her as she grinned. She was beyond excited. They haven't had sex in weeks now and she was eager to finally get some action. She had felt abandoned lately, it seemed he didn't really care about her anymore, and she had no idea why. She knew tonight would be different, so she specifically dressed up in her sexiest lingerie in order to seduce him, and she was extremely happy. She fidgeted in bed, waiting for him to appear.
"Just a few seconds, I'm just brushing my teeth." He replied.
"Oh, okay. I'll just wait for you here." She replied, a little disappointed he wasn't eager to come and see her as well. Suddenly, she heard the doorbell rang, and George's head appeared from the bathroom, confused as well.
"Who's ringing the doorbell at this hour?" He asked. She shrugged as he left the room and went downstairs, checking to see who was at the door.
Bzzzzz. She heard the sound of his electric toothbrush running. She groaned- her night was already not going as planned. She left the warm blankets and shivered, then walked to the bathroom to turn his toothbrush off, afraid it would fall off the counter.
"You left your phone onβ" She couldn't help it. He never showed her his password, and she always wondered who he was texting all the time, she looked down to see he was messaging someone named 'Melissa'. She frowned; she didn't know anyone in his family named Melissa.
She looked back at the door, hoping he wasn't coming back anytime soon.
Melissa: You coming by tonight, sweetie?
George: You know I can't. I'm with Jasmine tonight.
Melissa: But I miss your dick inside me <3.
George: Oh god you know I miss you too... I'll try to get out of it, okay?
Melissa: Don't keep me waiting baby
She gasped out loud, she couldn't believe she was so stupid. Didn't all girls in her situation feel the same though? She was so stupid to trust him. Melissa's profile pic showed a young innocent looking girl with a wide smile. Jasmine was far superior to her in comparison, with a curvy body and wavy blonde locks that she tied up on most days. But that didn't matter at the moment- she could feel tears forming in her eyes, but she stopped herself, willing her body to be strong. I will not let him get to me. Her mother had always told her revenge is the best medicine, and she would figure out something- something that would hurt him more than anything else. Hurt him as much as he hurt her. She heard a shuffling behind her, and she dropped the phone on the counter and ran back into the bed. He came in a second after, scratching the back of his head.
"God those Christmas carolers are so annoying- just expecting us to give them money for singing to us when we didn't even ask for it."
She nodded, pretending everything was okay, "Yeah, I hope you didn't give them any money!"
"Nah, I didn't." He said, turning to return to the bathroom, "Hey, I didn't leave my toothbrush on, did I?"
"Um... I didn't hear anything, so probably not?" She replied. He went back to the bathroom and flushed the toilet, then approached her on the bed, smiling gently.
"So... what did you want to do tonight?" He asked, approaching the subject slowly.
"Actually, I'm not really feeling good right now. Do you think we can call a rain check and do this tomorrow?" She rubbed her head, indicating she had a headache.
"Sure. I had some stuff I had to do anyways, so that works perfectly!" He sighed in relief, not having to make an excuse again. She could feel her anger rising, but she contained it.
The next day, she called sick into work- knowing she had to determine a plan before she could do anything else, or else she would just be distracted all day. She decided she would grab a coffee to distract herself. She walked down, passing by some of the little stores on her street as she reached her Starbucks. Before she did though, she stopped in her tracks at an old witchcraft store she's always passed by on her way to work but never really entered. She was always a little curious whether-or-not what they claimed was real. Whatever they had could be the perfect weapon to use against him.
Inside, a quiet little woman sat on a rocking chair, swaying back and forth and staring at the ceiling. "Um... Hi." Jasmine said, a little creeped out.
"Hello little lady." The woman croaked, smiling at her with teeth missing.
"Um... I was wondering if you had something I could use. You see... my boyfriend is cheating on me, and I want to take revenge." She said, getting more confident by the second.
The lady cackled, "Revenge, huh? Revenge is my favourite." She tried to stand up, but couldn't and decided to point to a bottle and get Jasmine to get it instead.
Jasmine picked up the bottle she was pointing to, a weirdly shaped jar (kind of like a penis?) filled to the brim with purple liquid, which was still hot and a little bubbly. "Woah, what is this?"
