Valerie's POV
It thunders continuously, and I scramble out of bed with agitation. This is the third time I have gotten out of bed because of the scary rumbling of the thunder.
Right now, I am done with the idea of sleeping alone in this goddamn cold room.
When I was home, whenever it rained and there was thunder, I always ran to my parent's room. Whenever I felt uncomfortable running over to them, I took solace in Fred.
That fucking idiot.
Now I hate him so much for thinking I will overlook what he did with Brenda simply because she was the one who seduced him.
How could he allow her to do that to him on two different occasions, and he expects me to take him back?
If I hadn't gotten married to a man like Ryan, would he have called me so we could meet?
