Be My Valentine Chapter 14

Chapter 14

Emily Hasting walks into the church with a bright smile on her happy face. She's the first one to arrive, as usual. And once again she gets to park her car in her favorite parking spot. She has always been a good Catholic girl, and she loves the calm serenity of the church. She feels she's very near to God whenever she comes here. And she just loves to be surrounded by all those good and kind honest people who like to share jokes and gossips with everyone and anyone. She will light a candle for her Joseph when the choir practice is over. Both she and Elizabeth firmly believes that all good deeds will be rewarded by the Lord. And all the evil, shameless and treacherous people will be punished and burn in Hell. Just like Stephanie Plum and that tall Cuban. Both Emily and Elizabeth cross themselves. 

They can never understand Stephanie Plum.  All the terribly stupid choices and decisions she made. All the shameless lies she told. All the unforgivable sins she committed. Does she really have a functioning brain? Does she really have no shame? What was she thinking cheating on Joseph? He's such a fine handsome man. He has a respectable job and a promising future. Beside, he's white and Italian. And everyone knows he's Stephanie's first. What was she thinking sleeping with a dark-skinned man? He's a dangerous thug. He's an outsider. He's not one of them. He will never be one of them. Doesn't Stephanie care about what decent people will think? Doesn't Stephanie care about what decent people will say? Doesn't Stephanie know that she should marry her own kind?

Emily Hasting wraps her arms around herself and feels ill. She feels so, so sorry for her poor Joseph. He deserves a much better and way more faithful woman than Stephanie Plum. She closes her eyes, takes a ragged breath and tries to calm herself. She can't stand the abnormal and sickening relationship between Stephanie Plum and that colored man. She can't stand the foolishness. She can't stand the tackiness. She can't stand the shamelessness. She can't stand Stephanie Plum. She's going to punish Stephanie Plum. She's going to delete Stephanie Plum from Joseph's life. She'll strike with deadly accuracy and power. Just like an avenging angel. Beautiful and merciless.

And then Joseph will finally learn to know her, to love her, and to cherish her. He will take her to his father's old dark garage. He will take her virginity on a cold hard floor. He will cuff her naked to her shower curtain rod. He will ravish her. He will destroy her. He will burn her with his hungry and furious passion. He will resurrect her, recreate her, and wrap her around his ring finger. He will realize that they belong to each other. They will live happily ever after. Like the prince and his princess in the fairy tale.

Emily and Elizabeth smile and together they say a silent prayer. Yes, the Almighty Lord will help them overcome all the obstacles. They will kill Stephanie Plum and that tall Cuban. Justice and true love shall prevail.
