missed calls. She had hoped that Jason had called. There were none, damn she thought annoyed with herself for looking.
‘None yep she felt like a tramp’. She was surprised at how quick the day had flown; she had tried NOT to think of Jason and his perfect pecks.
It had been a busy day indeed. Rebecca had only just signed a huge deal for sole suppliers to an important client, it was a great day. She caught her usual train home and popped into the local supermarket to pick up some bits and bobs. She knew she had to shop; she hadn’t got even a bean in her cupboards they were like ‘Old Mother Hubbard’s’.
She flew around the aisles; in no time, she had finished. She paid at the checkout and headed homeward.
Rebecca opened the gate and walked up the footpath like she had done a hundred times before. She was transferring one of the two shopping bags into her other hand to fish for her keys in her pocket. When he stepped out from the shadows of the alcove in the doorway....
.....It was David...
She froze to the spot. The bags dropping to the ground with the shock, her heart pounding in her ears she could feel herself starting to shake.
“I’m sorry B, didn’t mean to frighten you. I had to see you. Oh B, I’m so sorry. I can’t believe what I’ve done,” he walked towards her.
“Oh god please forgive me B. Being without you, I...I...I can’t!” He broke down in front of her covering his eyes with his hands, he was a sniveling wreck.
She felt for him. How could she not. They had been together for so long, she knew him inside out. David had never broke down like this except for when they were told the news of his dad’s illness, her heart bled for him.
It was a pitiful scene. She wanted to comfort him. It was heartbreaking for her to watch; her hot tears burned her eyes.
David saw this and crumpled more, he walked towards her placing his hands either side of her face. He pulled her to him. Rebecca could smell the drink off his breath. Immediately it took her back to that Saturday night. It made her feel sick to her stomach.
“Take me back please” he begged. “You know I love you. It’s always been you. Marry me. I’ve booked Marylebone Registers office on Friday, marry me B....Marry me....” His hands still held her face.
David had been pleading so hard, he hadn’t realized he had been shaking Rebecca as he still pleaded with all his might. He leaned in to kiss her.
Rebecca had started trying to push him away from her, he still tried.
“No...No.... No...No” recoiling, the idea of kissing him and then ‘ him presuming she was that stupid to actually marry him NOW’ . The idea horrified her. She still fought to break free of his hold.
The next thing she saw out of the corner of her eye, it was Jason leaping over the gate and making a rush for David landing a punch on his chin shouting at David.
“GET OFF HER!”
Jason had just got out of his car after parking up. He had seen David grabbing Rebecca and his natural instincts for her protection took over.
David hadn’t seen Jason coming and all he saw now were stars. The punch had completely taken him off guard and he had fallen to the ground in a heap. Jason leaned into him pulling him to his feet by the scruff of his jacket. As Jason landed a few more upper cuts to David stomach and eye, “You fucking hit her David!” Jason landed a few more blows on David.
“You didn’t just hit her you fucking BEAT her!” The punches made contact with his ribs as he punched like a prize fighter in training on a punching bag.
“Mate, stop!” David protested, as he grabbed Jason by his shoulders trying to reason with him.
“Stop?! Did you stop when you beat the shit out of her last week ?” Jason roared into David’s face.
The two men were now up against the front door. Both men now threw punches at one another scuffling.
Rebecca stood there frozen to the spot.
“You’re fucking scum, David. You’re a woman basher, and your NO mate of mine,” said
