Lady Brett Ashley

    Lady Brett Ashley 

 "Oh, Jake," Brett said, "we could have had such a d*mned good time together."

Ahead was a mounted policeman in khaki directing traffic. He raised his baton. The car slowed suddenly pressing Brett against me. 

"Yes," I said. "Isn't it pretty to think so?"    (Hemingway 251)

  

     
     I can't believe that Jake didn't even try to fight for our relationship. Instead I have Cohn and Mike all on me when Jake is the one I truly love. I know that me and Jake could never work out because of my needs, but gosh I thought I was more than enough to satisfy his. I just cannot help what I feel for him. Jake just understands me unlike anyone else. Sure I have Mike and I can always count on him, but he doesn't love me like Jake does. No one else understands me like Jake does. Romero wanted me to grow out my hair and change who I am, when he has no idea that the last thing I want to be is a stereotypical housewife. I manipulated all these men around me that only love me for my looks when the man I truly need is Jake. Instead of me always having to take care of him we could have taken care of each other. I guess old habits die hard so I'm off to go win Mike back even though in my heart I know that Jake is the ultimate prize.
