BETTER TOGETHER [18+] ✔️

Part 12

September 5th 2018

Jennifer has been with me for 2 weeks now. We had most of her things here already with the help of her parents. We started looking at houses too. Everything was falling into place.

We even had a girls night with Garcia a few days ago. Garcia talked Jennifer into painting her nails and toenails black, I think it's hot as fuck. Gives her edge.

We are currently on the couch, Jennifer is leaning against the couch and I'm leaned against her. We were currently finishing up the second season of Dead To Me. The laptop on my lap as I strolled through houses the real estate agent sent me. We wanted a house in a gated community, a nice sized backyard with a pool, and a man cave for Jennifer.

I strolled through a few more before one caught my eye. It was a new build, it was not too far from work either. I saved it for later. I closed my laptop and focused on the show.

"So, I think I found THE house. Has everything we are looking for. A beautiful pool, with more land. It's in a gated community, it's a new build technically speaking, and it has a downstairs for your man cave or whatever." I said once we sat down for dinner.

"Hmm, what year was it built?"

"2016, only had one family"

"Set up an appointment with our real estate agent and we will go look at it, no promises though" I flashed her a big smile.

"Thank you baby" we finished eating and I cleaned the kitchen up before helping Jennifer to the bedroom so we could shower and get ready for bed.

It wasn't as bad as I thought it was, taking care of Jennifer. She hasn't complained, she takes her medicine, rest like I tell her too, and we just relax. She's been a little on edge lately, she has a few nightmares here and there, she won't talk about them though.

After we finish up in the shower, I lotion her up, I love staring at her body. Well minus the bruises but she's still beautiful.

"How are you feeling tonight?" I ask her once I finished getting her dressed, I'm standing between her legs with my hands on her shoulders, she's too tense.

"I'm okay.. Ready to put everything behind me is all." She started picking her nails shortly after being out of the hospital, the black nail polish long gone.

"You know it's good to talk about things, get them off your chest.. The nightmares will go away once you face them.." I put my hands on her face and lifted her head so I could see her eyes. "I'm never going anywhere baby, whatever you wanna tell me isn't gonna change a thing about us. I know you got something going on, I can read you baby.." she closed her eyes letting out a deep sigh.

"You can get dressed first..." I nodded and stepped away, she shuffled up to the headboard to lean against it. She sat quietly while I finished getting ready for bed. "C-can you sit in my lap? I really need to hold you for this. I need to feel you."

"Of course baby, let me know if I hurt you" I gently straddled her thighs gently, trying not to hit her knee. She put her hands on my thighs, her thumbs rubbing the insides of them.

"When I was with Jess we had a somewhat stable relationship. I mean she was a teacher and we met at a bar one night, it was Jones actually. I saw her most of the times I was there. One night I got her number and we talked for hours even days straight. We fell in love, we wanted to have kids and have the biggest house you could think of. Things changed, she got possessive of me. Didn't want me going anywhere, didn't want me talking to anyone. It was getting out of control. So, we broke up. She started following me, calling my house all hours of the night. If I tried to talk to someone she would follow them and scare them away. I got a restraining order against her." She took a deep breath before continuing, I had my hand resting against her heart feeling it pound against my hand.

"When she took me, I was so scared. Jess is a psycho, I knew I wasn't going to get out of the there alive, I didn't know if you would find those messages or not. She wanted to have my baby..." tears started swimming in her tears, and they rolled down when she closed her eyes, staining her dry cheeks.

"It's okay baby.. I'm here. Focus on me" she took a few minutes to calm down.

"She uh.. She raped me.. She tied me to the bed and would get on top of me. She slipped me a blue pill. From the time I got there up until you found me, she would touch me. She made me do things to her. I felt so used and disgusting. She was gonna take me to Africa, the morning you guys found me, she was packing... I would lose my mind if she would've taken me away" she pulled me into a tight embrace, her head buried against my chest, I ran my fingers through her hair as she sobbed quietly.

"It's okay, let it out. She can't hurt you anymore. I love you so much. Thank you for telling me. I'll fix you, I promise" she held me tighter, I wrapped my arms around her rocking side to side. I was crying along with her, my own body shaking as I cried, anger ran through me.

We stayed that way for a at least 20 minutes. I pulled back once she calmed down. I wiped the tears away from her face. Her blue eyes were so lifeless, filled with so much pain.

"You ready for bed?" She nodded and I climbed off her to grab her medicine and some water. Once I got back to the room we settled in for bed.

"Do you want me to hold you tonight?"

"Please?" She sounded so small. She was very vulnerable and I didn't want to surround her.

"Of course" I scoot over to her and lay my head on her chest and wrap my arm around her. She pulls me close and kisses my forehead.

"Thank you, I love you so much."

"I love you too. Goodnight."

"Goodnight baby"

We clung to one another as we slept. No nightmares that night.
