Bad Boys Bring Heaven To You...

May 13th

I thought my last month in this town would be the same. Just me doing what I always do and feeling a little lonely. But ever since Remington came into my life, I've never been so happy to wake up in the morning and look forward to seeing someone I care about and who cares about me. I never expected someone like him to be there for me when I was at my lowest and he knew exactly how to help me feel better. I get dark thoughts sometimes telling me that he'll grow tired of me and leave me heartbroken, but I know it can't be true because whenever he smiles at me, I get this feeling in my heart like he's looking at something that brings him so much joy. Even if what we have turns out to be temporary before I leave this town, I feel content knowing I experienced something so beautiful like the love I have for Remington.

It had been a few days since that incident seeing my family again after so long, and while I was still shook up about my sister and her husband expecting a baby, I still wished them all the happiness with their growing family. I now realize that if I had tried to keep my first love from being with my sister, he might have been miserable not knowing what they could've had, so now I'm happy he found someone right for him. And I'm happy I lost someone who was never meant for me anyway.

While I was working the night before I would have tomorrow free, I glanced at the clock on the wall and wondered what could be taking Remington so long to pull up in front of the diner. He usually waits outside for me by the time my shift is over, but it didn't help that my boss asked me to stay longer than usual and Remington mentioned having to do some errands before meeting up with me.

Just a couple of minutes before the diner would close for the night, I was picking up dishes and garbage left by customers to help keep the place tidy. I had believed all the customers were gone for the night when one random guy walks up to me as I'm sweeping the floor and tries talking to me.

"Well, what do we have here? A cute waitress doing her job while still managing to look sexy as hell..." Oh, great. Another one of these trying to flirt with me when it's very late. He's probably also intoxicated which makes this harder as I tried to ignore him and finish my job as fast as I could.

"What? You don't talk or you're just too good to talk to me? I'm paying you a compliment, sweetheart. I don't do that for free." I had finally finished my task and put the broom away when I felt hands on my hips and my body being turned toward the man as he held me close to him and grabbed me tightly.

I struggled to push him off of me as I shouted, "Get your hands off of me! Let me go!" His voice changed and he spoke in a threatening tone, "Or what? There's no one to save you or even believe you. Bitches like you should learn to respect when a man says something nice about you. I oughta-!"

He never finished his sentence as someone grabbed at his throat and dragged him away from me as he finally let me go. I staggered a bit and took a minute to catch my breath before realizing I was saved by Remington who took the attacker outside and began beating the shit out of him.

I rushed outside of the diner to see Remington still punching and kicking the guy before he finally stopped as the guy seemed to finally reach his limit. "Now...", Rem rasped as he dragged the guy to his knees and forced his head up so he'd look at me, "Apologize to the girl for putting your fucking hands on her like the piece of shit you are."

The loser growled in anger, but eventually gave in as he said, "I'm sorry...I put my hands on you. It won't...happen again." Remington let him go then and the dick ended up running away. I turned back to Rem only to find he had gotten a few injuries such as cuts and bruises on his face as well as some kicks and punches to his stomach and chest.

My heart shattered to see him hurt like this and I stepped closer to hold his face in my hands. I teared up as I told him in a shaky tone, "Oh, Rem. I'm so sorry! This is all my fault you got hurt like this." I was about to say more before Rem pulled me close to him and kissed me like he'd been starving to.
