Chapter 26

Annabel was down with a nasty sickening for a month that cost her, her job so now she is on the search for a new one when she went to apply for a new job she saw that a text appeared on her phone, she looked to see if Scarlett was anywhere near thank goodness she wasn't because as she glanced down the name appeared to be Jana her heart flutter with joy to see her best friend speaking to her again though it didn't last long when she sent out that last text message and never got a response back.

Jana and Annabel had a one night stand several months ago that seemed to be just that before Jana went back to her home state of Kansas due to her not being Angel which she understood is heartbreaking though she wondered why a woman like her would be attracted to the exact opposite of her loving wife. Annabel will never know that answer since Jana will not return even for the children sake.

Annabel saved the number under a hidden name then closed her phone as she heard Scarlett come up behind her saying,

"Any luck of finding a new job?"

Annabel shook her head no replying,

"You?"

Scarlett scooted Annabel away from her desk as Annabel held her responding,

"My love, I found us both a job. You are going to be a waitress at a local restaurant and since Jerry fired me finally I got me a job a few blocks down from the restaurant you are working at, I am working at a local bookstore."

Annabel didn't seem so thrilled that Scarlett kept getting her dream jobs as she worked these 9am to 5pm shifts most the time depending on the job at Abbots she had to be up by 5am to be to work by 6am to end up home around 11pm it was a full day shift working that forklift. Annabel sighed replying,

"Babe, how come you always end up with my dream jobs like the business you had and now a bookstore? Books are my thing not yours, you are too much wrapped up in wearing Corsets for fashion and prancing around like a child."

Scarlett got off of Annabel smacking her right across the face responding,

"Listen here you little skank this is my choice of how I live my life and if I want to be a business woman I will or if I want to be a book store seller I will. You can't control your jobs that I apply because you have no low life experience like me, so keep your mouth shut or you'll end up in a ditch for me to kill you. Alright, love you babe."

Annabel swore her wife was on drugs she'd never actually kill her, she had trapped her in a cage and has been abusing her since gosh knows when anymore though Scarlett is a loose cannon anymore. Annabel smiled sweetly after being smacked in the face replying,

"Alright my love, you enjoy working in a bookstore as I will enjoy my job as a waitress."

Scarlett kissed Annabel with passion then releasing her responding,

"Good sweetheart, now I'm going to take the buses to go get our uniforms and I'll be back in a hour or two so go ahead work extra hard on that book you've been dying to get published and I'll be back to make love to you again."

Annabel nodded turning on her laptop getting to work as Scarlett slammed the front door making sure she was disturbed for a few minutes due to pissing her off again. Instead of working on her book she got to work on finding Jana's address since she had no recall of it or the home number or did they have cell phones? Annabel had no recall then she heard the front door clicked so she went back to her book as Scarlett said,

"I am sorry for disturbing you babe, I forgot to grab my favorite book Twilight to show the workers that I get the thrill of working with. By the way you work by 9am sharp tomorrow so I'll be home with your uniform, see you in a hour or two."

Annabel couldn't believe Scarlett was going to make her work tomorrow at this so called restaurant that she didn't even get a interview too, so she slammed her laptop closed then went to the dining room opening Scarlett's laptop skimming through past jobs to see if she can figure out how they are getting jobs so easily. Turns out nothing appeared on the screen to prove that they are working any where it looked like Scarlett wiped her laptop clean. Annabel closed the laptop and went back to her own.

No clue of how Scarlett was doing that disturbed her so she contacted Tonya her close friend in the area to see what she could come up with. Annabel snatched up her cell phone texting Tonya,

"Hey sugar, it's Annabel, I was wondering could you figure out how Scarlett is getting me and her jobs so quickly I couldn't find anything on the laptop of hers."

Soon as she sent it a reply came from Tonya,

"Annabel, I am not that technical but I know someone who is...I will contact them then contact you on the information."

Annabel responded to the text,

"Thank you, back to work on my book for now."

After that she worked hard for like three hours on her book without hearing Scarlett returned though Scarlett knew if she was working not to disturb her. Scarlett then grabbed Annabel by the hair whispering,

"You went on my laptop didn't you?"

Annabel whimpered replying,

"No babe, I have been on my own the whole time."

Scarlett pulled her head back further than slammed it against the hardwood table that was when Annabel passed out completely knowing her death is awaiting for this much abuse but she knew she had to keep Jana protected.
