the taunt of it

"Where the fuck have you been?" Newt's words crushed what was left good in the day for Lauren at lunch.

"Just shut it, will you?" She scowled. God, what an arse, she thought.


"You're not much of a mate, now are you?" He was calloused.

"Neither are you for that matter." She gave him a hostile glare.

"Bitch!" Newt snarled.

"Bastard!"

They could have gone on this way forever, but she hadn't the strength. She sucked at her white milk through a straw instead and gave him a go to hell look. Maybe they were finished for good, for all she knew. Naturally, he had Anita to escape too. It was all the more annoying to see them together, but she wouldn't fight it. It never did her any good. And she was so tired. She needed a rest. Good long rest. A hot bath first. Get what was left of Dave off her and fall into bed. Alone. Sweet dreams, she hoped. She looked back at Newt. Hopefully, he would not be in them.
