Not the violent, murderous man in the coat room.
This man sits behind me in Anna T. Jordan Community Park, playing with my hair as I type on my laptop.
This is the man I love.
“I love you, too,” I whisper back as I lean forward, brushing my lips against his softly.
He pushes his lips firmly against mine, but unlike normal, where he hardens the kiss, he keeps it soft and light, kissing me gently. Then he pulls back, looking into my eyes once more. “I’ve waited alongthree weeks to hear you say that,” he whispers.
“I was lost without you. But we still have a mountain of things we need to work on,” I tell him.
“I know we have hurdles. Big ones. But I am working on it… trust me.”
“With my life,” I reply, and he half smiles before turning and walking out with a cell phone in each hand.
My head softly falls back into the plush pillow, and it aches from the force of the blows tonight. So I turn my head to the side and close my eyes, trying to rest from the night of drama. I don’t think it has fully sunk in whatactuallyhappened.
I was nearly raped.
Very close escape.
So close I can still smellhim. Still feelhimon top of me.
I felt the tip of him right there, another second, and he would have been inside me. A shudder runs down my entire body as my eyes flood with tears. Yanking the blanket up and over myself, I clench my eyes shut tighter, trying to rid the images ofhimabove me from my mind. My breaths become heavier and heavier as I relive the ordeal. I clench my legs together to fight him off, even though he clearly isn’t here. Clenching my teeth together, they squeak from the tension as I shake my head, trying to stop the reminiscing.
I can vaguely hear Cain’s voice breaking through my anguish, so I try to focus on that, reopening my eyes while my breathing is frantic and rushed. My head is foggy, and I’m dozing in and out as I blink a few times to gather my bearings when I hear…
“Don’t worry about her, Trap. Just tell me, did you do it?”
My eyes are heavy, I try to fight, but I feel the pull of sleep drawing me back in.
“And where did you put him?” Cain’s voice growls, waking me fully.
My eyes snap open with a jerk, my breathing rushed from the sudden shock as I fight to keep my wits about me.
“All right, let me make a call. I’ll figure out a disposal. Hang tight. Look, I have a favor to ask. Can you keep this to yourself? I need you to withhold this from the Bachelors.”
Furrowing my brows, I try to figure out what he’s talking about, but my brain is clouding, the pull of sleep closing in on me again.
“BecauseI fucking said so. I don’t want them thinking I’m going fucking soft.” The aggravated tone of his voice jars me awake again as I try to sit up, but my body won’t allow it. I am losing the battle, my exhaustion completely taking over.
“Well, I would have fucking done it myself, but someone had to help the poor girl, didn’t they?”
Furrowing my brows, I can hear how he’s talking about me, like I’m just some random person to him, but I’m high on painkillers right now, and I’m not one hundred percent sure whether this phone call is actually happening or whether I’m hallucinating the entire thing.
My adrenaline spikes as a dizzy spell hits, my body completely giving out as everything turns black.
CAIN
Walking out of her bay, I grab my cell and dial Trap. Taking a deep-as-fuck breath, I crack my neck to the side and wait for him to answer.
“Cain, fuck man, where the hell are you?”
“Never mind that, Trap. Is it taken care of?” I ask, getting straight to the point. I need to know if the situation is sorted.
“What I want to know is why would you help a girl you didn’t know and put us all at risk for her? Who is she to you?”
“Don’t worry about her, Trap. Just tell me, did you do it?
