Accidentally In Love

CHAPTER 3: Oh Hell No!

LEONA

Did he just call me an 'ungrateful bitch?!' when I am trying to return the amount I had left after using what I needed to get my car fixed? Oh hell no!

So I slapped him!  Which I quickly realized may not have been the best idea but I didn't care at the moment. HE was the one being all disrespectful.

I can tell by the way he is dressed and the size of his place here, that he has money and most likely grew up rich and never had to work for anything-always got his way.

"Listen asshole, I am not one to take charity or who can be bought. And for someone who doesn't have insurance for whatever reason, probably because you do something illegal, should be LUCKY I didn't call the damn authorities." I fire back at him, while muttering the 'illegal' part under my breath.

I could tell by the flaring if his nostrils and the cracking of his knuckles while balling his hands into fists at his sides, he was getting ready to most likely kill me. However, he didn't?....

"Look Princess." He says through clenched teeth. "Let me tell you what is going to happen. You are going to take that money, walk out the door, forget this address, him, me and what happened." He begins to threaten me as he next walks closer to my ear and leans in a little closer to lowly threaten me, "And if you go to the authorities about any of this, I swear that I will make you regret it for the rest of your life." He says before stepping back and looking at me.

The way he said that just now and the tone he used, I suddenly began to resort back to the part of me I have tried to not go back to after the break up, I became scared and terrified. I believed him.

I didn't want him to see that though and before I would risk in any of them seeing that, I threw the couple thousands of dollars I had left after my car was fixed and tossed it onto the counter beside them.

"Go fuck yourself?" I one last time bravely talk back to him before then turning on my heel and walk out the door, get into my car then leave and never look back.

The panic I began to feel though, was overwhelming and could no longer hold it in. The fear that began creeping up, adding to the intensity of my panicking, had me start to feel nausceous.

It didn't matter though. I needed to just take in a few deep breaths and not let him get to me.

I don't care who the hell he thinks he is or anything, I was not someone he could just buy off or whatever. Insurance or not, I am not greedy and wasn't somebody who took advantage either. I was raised different than that and besides, the karma. I honestly didn't need at the moment with the way things have been going so far.

Now all that was left was for me to go and pick up Marlie from the airport. While on the way, I played some music and tried to get out of my head all that had happened when I finally pull up to the curb of the airport and there she walking right out towards me. So I stopped the car then got out and ran up to her quickly and hugged her tight.

"Oh my god, I have missed you so much!" She tells me.

"I know, I've missed you too." I replied while not being able to fight back tears anymore.

I helped place her bags in the car and then we started heading back towards my apartment.

After she got settled and unpacked, we sat down on the couch and drank some wine while talking about random things. My god, it was great having her here.

Just a few moments later, she asked me about Tyson and I and like always, she had that type of tone in her voice that you could tell she didn't like mentioning him.

"Well, you'd be happy to hear we aren't together anymore." I tell her as I take a drink from my glass of wine.

She nearly chokes and spits hers out as soon as I tell her.

"I'm sorry, what did you say?" She asks.

"Tyson and I broke up." I repeat.

We both share a moment of silence before she says anything.

"Since when?" She asks me, now sounding deeply empathetic towards the situation.

"Since the other night when I was talking to you and I had gotten in that car accident." I reminded her.

"Why the hell didn't you tell me then, bitch?!" She slaps my hand playfully.

"I don't know. I have just been going through so many emotions lately that I myself haven't processed it all yet." I shrugged.

"Well you know my opinion on him anyways. So I won't make you more upset, but you have to admit, he was an asshole." She says as she finishes off her wine.

I do the same before replying.

"Yeah." I tell her.

"But look, in all seriousness, I am try sorry that you went through all of that." She says as she takes hold of my hand and looks at me.

She always knew how to make me smile.

"Thanks." I replied before quickly changing the subject. "What about you?"

"You know me. I'm always opened to the idea but not ever looking for a relationship. I just live each day as it comes to me and whatever happens, happens." She smiles and starts refilling her glass.

"I've really missed you." I tell her.

"I know. I've really missed you too." She replies.

We sit there for a few moments longer before either one of us says anything.

"So, are you tired, hungry?" I mention.

"I'm hungry but am definitely not tired. Girl, you know me." She laughs.

"Yes I do." I laughed also in reply.

"Well, why don't I order some food, since I haven't gone to the grocery store in a few days and then sit back and relax." I suggest.

"You know I am always down for that. But I will only do that as long as I can buy dinner." She suggests.

I scowl at her a little before I say anything.

"Okay." I smiled in reply.

This was really just what I needed.

"So....whatever happened, by the way, to the guy who had hit you?" She asks.
