Nat
Rick’s eyes are glazed with drink. “What the fuck are you wearing?”
he sneers, casting a derisory look down at my pale blue dress. It
picks out the blue in my eyes, hugs my curves, and offers a tempting
glimpse of cleavage.
Yes, the dress is fairly tight-fitting, but compared to some of the women in
this bar, I look like a nun.
Rick has different standards, though. He prefers it when I wear loosefitting, ugly clothes that hide my figure because he doesn’t want other men
to look at me.
He was supposed to be working this evening. Like me, he’s a journalist,
but whereas I write mostly lifestyle articles, he interviews celebs and
attends red carpet functions. As he frequently likes to brag, he’s paid to go
where famous people hang out.
I assumed he’d be at the opening of a celebrity restaurant when I
organized this night out with Amanda and Jane, too busy schmoozing with
influencers and Z-list actresses to care what I was up to.
I may have lied and said I was watching reruns of Friends and catching an
early night.
What I failed to account for was bumping into one of our mutual friends,
who posted a selfie on Instagram with me in the background.
Fuck my life.
And because Rick is a controlling asshole with narcissistic tendencies, he
stormed out of the event and caught an Uber to the bar where he’s currently
berating me for having the audacity to meet my two remaining friends for a
*gasp* alcoholic drink.
I lower my eyes and mumble, “I’m sorry.”
Truthfully, I’m more sorry I ever swiped right on Tinder when I was
lonely and horny.
And I’m definitely sorry for ignoring all the red flags.
It’s too late now.
Rick won’t ever let me go. He’s told me multiple times.
“Such an ugly color,” he tells me. “It makes you look fat. I can see every
lump and bump.”
The words sink in and I slowly curl up into myself. When I looked in the
mirror earlier, I liked what I saw. The girls told me I looked amazing too.
Now, though, Rick’s acidic words feed into every insecurity I have.
I’m curvy. Always have been. Whereas Amanda is nearly six foot and
slender, and Jane is petite, like a tiny doll, I’m 5’6” with big boobs and a
generous ass, thanks to my Italian heritage. I thought Rick liked my curves
when we met, but as time’s gone on, he’s become more and more critical.
“I’m not fat,” I mutter behind the curtain of long dark hair hiding my face.
“You’re a fat, ugly bitch and that dress is disgusting,” he hisses. “What
the fuck were you thinking? I’m embarrassed to be seen with you.”
If that is the case, I wonder why he’s standing at the bar fat-shaming me,
but I know better than to voice my thoughts.
“I should have known you’d lie to me and be out whoring the minute I
