Parker lets out a guttural moan into my open mouth and I swallow it. Licking into his mouth, I taste every inch, staking my claim on him. I need Parker to know that I have made a decision. That he is mine and I am his.

We make out and I intend to let Parker stake his claim on me as well but he pulls back. I chase his mouth but he sets his forehead against mine.

“Cam,” Parker says.

“Yes Parker?” I rasp out. My mind is only on the feeling of his lips but Parker seems to have other things on his mind.

“I think we should slow down. It has been a long day for you and I don’t want you to think I only want you for this.”

Part of me appreciates his words and half of me wants to jump his bones but I have to respect what he wants too. If I’m going to be his and if he is going to be mine. We have to respect both of our thoughts and choices.

“You’re right,” I start. “I don’t mind making out more but I am a bit hungry.”

“Well, popcorn is the only thing on the menu. And it's extra buttery just how you like it.”

My heart skips a beat at the fact that he remembers I like my popcorn with extra butter. Parker isn’t just a cute guy but a caring man.

The movie is almost half over but we pick up where it is and we watch it together. Parker has his arms around me and I am almost in heaven.

Almost.

I still cannot help the negative thoughts invading my mind.

If Johnny isn’t the one who trashed my apartment and stole my money, then who did.

Who else would want to make me feel unsafe? Who else would break into a random apartment on the twentieth floor?

It just does not make any sense and it scares me.

I cuddle into Parker's chest as I try to make these thoughts fly away.

There is no sense being scared when I’m in a strong man’s arms who cares for me. I’m not sure if he could take Johnny but I have hopes that maybe Johnny hasn’t found me.

If he has, I have no clue what to do.

Do I run?

Do I try to keep it low key?

How exactly did he find me?

I take a deep breath, there is no concrete proof that he has found me.

“What’s going through your mind?” Parker asks.

I stiffen.

“Cam, you can trust me.”

I turn my head up to him and confess everything.

“I’m scared Parker. What if Johnny really is here? He might hurt me again and I barely survived last time.”

“What do you mean you barely survived?” Parker squeezes me in his arms.

I swallow, no one knows the real catalyst for why I decided to uproot my entire life and leave.

“I haven’t told anyone this,” I start. “But I caught Johnny going through my phone and when I called him out on it he threw the phone at me. It broke and I admit, I yelled at him but then I swear his eyes turned black and he started chasing me, then he pushed me down the stairs and kicked me. It was the scariest moment of my life. I thought he was going to kill me. He finally stopped and told me it was my fault and he left. I ended up grabbing a small amount of belongings and took the first bus out of Piedmont. Promising myself I would never go back.”
