Some people deserve to fucking die. I will hurt him for hurting her.
I watch my security throw him in his vehicle, vowing to myself to not show mercy next time, no matter the cost.
I open the truck door with one hand, setting her inside. “Emily,’ I say softly wanting her out of her head. I want those beautiful eyes on me.
She slowly blinks and looks at me, tears in her eyes. I fight myself from going ballistic, but she needs me right now.
“I am so sorry,” I tell her. I don’t know what else to say to her butI’m so fucking angry that a grown fucking man would say something like that.
Her lips tremble. “It caught me off guard. I got lost in the memories for a moment. I’m ashamed that I let it get to me like I did.”
Anger burns through me that she is blaming herself for feeling. “Fuck, don’t be ashamed. He did it to hurt you. You are human, baby. You have been through so much but you are here and you are so fucking strong. I am so proud of you.” I cup her face wanting my words to take root.
She sighs, a tear rolling down her face. I catch it with the tips of my fingers and press my forehead against hers.
We stand there breathing and taking in the moment together. Every second feels like hours until she stops trembling and the fear leaves her body.
I’m fucking heart broken.
“Want to go home?” I ask.
She shakes her head no, surprising me. “We wanted to go dancing and we are going to go dance.”
I shake my head in disbelief that she is even up for that after what just happened. If that isn’t a testament for how strong she is, then nothing is.
“Are you sure?” I have to ask again to make sure she is really okay with it and not trying to push herself into something she really doesn’t want to do.
She nods. “Yeah, I want to do this. We can’t let people like that ruin our night.” My heart burns with anger once again thinking about what he said.
“Okay baby.” I take her hand and help her back out of the truck. She fixes her dress and smiles at me.
God, she is so fucking strong.
We walk the short distance to the bar that is right down the street from my restaurant. The owners of the bar are good friends of mine.
I look over at her and she smiles at me, the tears in her eyes long gone.
Emily
I was shocked at what happened in the restaurant, but it just sealed the fact that there are horrible people everywhere in this world.
No one has the right to ruin a second of my life anymore. I am going to live and those people can fuck right off.
I’m proud of myself in this moment. Proud of the way that I pushed through it and didn’t let it affect me too deeply.
Isaac stood up for me. The anger that rolled off him was shocking. It’s hard to believe that the moment prior to that he was touching me so gently and then he was slamming someone’s face into their plate.
But he did it for me.
I think I may be falling in love with him. The way he makes me feel safe and takes care of me, I’m so gone for him.
He holds the door open for me and the first thing that hits me is the strong smell of beer. It’s dark inside the bar, neon lights everywhere and you can see people dancing on the dance floor to the left of the room.
He pulls me along to the dance floor. I laugh seeing a couple almost falling over someone else.
They look at me and laugh with me.
A slow song comes on over the speakers at the perfect time. Nerves hit me and I stand in front of him like a loser, unsure of what to do.
