“I’ll be in the back. Yell if you need me,” she says as she walks past us and down the hall. Scott steps closer, tugging at a piece of my hair that fell from my ponytail.
“What are you really doing here?” I ask. He smiles.
“Just wanted to see how you were. Checking up on you.”
“I don’t need you to check up on me, Scott. We broke up.”
“Not my choice.” He’s right; it wasn’t his choice. It was mine. He got drunk and hit me for the last time. I’d had enough.
“You remember the night I left?”
“I was so drunk, Yenni. I don’t remember half of what even happened that night.”
“Let me remind you. You came home drunk. Accused me of cheating on you and then tore our apartment to hell right before hitting me for the last time,” I tell him all the memories I have of that night. It was hell.
“I was drunk. I haven’t been drinking lately, Yenni.”
“And that should make me feel better? I know what happens when you do decide to drink again, Scott. I can’t go back to that,” I tell him.
“But you still care about me. I know you do.” God, why is he here? Deep down, a part of me that will probably always care about him. He was my first love, and that’s not something you forget, but I can’t go back. I won’t.
“I’m not going to lie and say I don’t care because I do. And I think I always will, but going back to that? I don’t think so.”
“You have someone else,” he states.
“What’s the difference? Right now, I’m just having fun and living my life, Scott. I don’t answer to anyone.”
“You felt like you answered to me?”
“I did. We lived together.”
“You never answered to me, Yenni. Can’t we start over? Just … try again. I promise you I’m not drinking anymore,” he tells me once again. I shake my head and cross my arms over my chest.
“So I should just forget everything that happened?”
“I’m not saying that. I know I fucked up, but I’m asking for another chance. Give us another chance.” He’s nearly pleading with me now, and I don’t know how to take that. I don’t want to have the same thing happen again. I don’t want to be the victim again. I’m better than that. I’ve grown since then.
“I don’t know,” I sigh as he steps closer to me. His hand comes up to my cheek and slowly caresses it as he used to. My eyes leap to his.
“I won’t hurt you again. I promise,” he says. His words mean nothing, not in the grand scheme of things. Actions are what I need.
“I don’t know what to say right now, Scott. Give me some time to think about it?” I ask. His smile is bright, just like when we had good times.
“I can do that.”

Cage
I haven’t seen Yenni in a few days, but I’m taking her out tonight. I’m not the flowers and candy type, but if my girl wants to go out, I’ll take her ass out.
I pull up in front of her house and climb off my bike, leaving the helmet on the seat. I stroll up to the door and raise my hand and knock. Then I wait. I hear her fumbling around inside before the door finally opens. She stands there in skin-tight jeans, biker boots, and a leather jacket looking the part of a biker bitch. She’s fucking hot in that outfit, and she knows it.
I reach out and wrap my hand around the back of her neck, pulling her closer to me. Then I lower my mouth over hers and kiss her like I haven’t been able to in days. I’ve missed her lips.
“That was nice,” she whispers when I finally pull away.
“Yeah, it was. You ready?” I ask her. She nods and pulls the door closed behind her before wrapping her arm around my waist. I’ve never been one for anything like this. I’ve never really let a woman touch me the way she does, but I like it when it’s Yenni. When the club girls tried it, I would push them away but not her. It’s comfortable with her.
