Trials of Gabriel {COMPLETE}

2 | Gabriel

Once we're done shopping, we head back to my apartment. Once everything is put away, Gabe leaves as he has practice in an hour. I grab a jacket and head back out to town to look for a job.

After practice, Gabe confronts Ariana, and boy is it nasty.

"Why did you kick her off of the team?"
"Who are you talking about Gray? Your little side piece?"
"Shut up!!!! Answer the f&€king question!!! Is it because she put you in your place?!"
"Fine!! That little bish had it coming. She yelled and put me in my place. Not only that, but I was also yelled at. ME!!!"
"You ever think that maybe you f&€king deserve it?!"
"You know what? I'm done. Please don't talk to me or drag me into your problems again."

After that confrontation, he returns to his house to find Talia making dinner, with his dog Peaches at her feet and is he happy to see them.

"What wrong?"
"Nothing. I just love when you cook, and your food is just as good."
"Hehe thank you."

He walks over to his huge kitchen and asks what he can help with. I tell him to go change and be back in ten minutes. While he goes to change, I make sure everything looks good. Then he comes back to the kitchen and it's time to eat.

After dinner, I do the dishes and I can see something is bothering him.

"What's wrong?"
"I talked to Ariana today. She told me everything and blamed you because she's a narcissist."
"Don't worry though, I told her to leave me alone and to stop calling you names."
"Oh, thank you for standing up for me."

Now that that conversation is over, I go to the bathroom and change, making sure I take the right amount of time, so he doesn't suspect anything. Then, as I walk out, his eyes are glued to me. I walk out in a peach bralette with matching panties, a black skirt and black belt with a big gold buckle, and black heels.

The rest of the night was magical like always. Went from the counter to his bed to the shower, and then back to his bed.

The next morning, we wake up in the sheets. I quietly try to get up and go to the bathroom, but his arm is around my torso, and I can't move. The next thing I know, he pulls me into his chest.

"What time is it?" he asks with his eyes closed in a sleepy tone.
"10:30," I say with a chuckle.
"Alright, we still have some time," he says still not letting me move.

One-thirty p.m., we're dressed and ready for when his barber and best friend, Tyler, gets here.

"Wow, your hair is worse than normal. What have you been doing?" asks his best friend with a chuckle.
"Oh, you know, the same old; football, family, and friends, and then we hit the club if we have any extra time."
"Oh okay, I get it," Tyler says with a smirk.
"What can I do for you this time?" Ty asks.
"Can I get box braids this time, please?"
"You ask and I make it happen."

The three of us have been friends for years, but Gabe and Ty have the brother type of relationship. And to Ty, I'm like the little sister.

༄

After Gabriel gets his hair done, we head out to the local park, over by the river. He wants to take me on a picnic.

"Hey, look, I'm sorry about last night. I shouldn't have done that, but Ariana gets me sooo mad. She treats you and every else like shit."
"Hey, I said it's okay. I appreciate you standing up for me and the other girls. You didn't have to do that."
"I'll do anything for y-"

As he's about to finish that sentence, I grab him and kiss him.

"I already know that. I'll do anything for you too."
"Now, I don't need to hear anything right now. I just want to enjoy our time here. It's gorgeous."

After we eat our lunch, I go for a swim in the water. Gabe lays on the ground and waits for me to come out and join him. Shortly after laying by himself, I walk to the towel and lay down.

Her body and just herself, in general, is gorgeous. She's everything I want as a wife and more. She can't know that though.

༄

Two weeks later, she shows up at my house after work. You can tell something is bothering her, but she will not tell anyone. She wants to get drunk and just forget about everything.

"When were you going to tell me?" I ask annoyingly.
"What do you mean?" She says confused.
"You know exactly what I mean," I say looking her dead in the eyes.
"..." She says.
"He said that it was my fault and I deserved it. My outfit was too out there," she tells me with her head down trying not to cry.

While Peaches jumps in her lap, I walk over to her on the couch and hold her. Not knowing how much time is passing, and I don't care. I'm with her; my best friend.

"How long ago did this happen?" He asks softly.
"What does it matter?" She asks quietly.
"You can still get justice. I promise," I say.
"I don't even know what he looked like; how will I get justice?" She asks sniffing.
"If all these women are trying to get justice for decades ago, so can you."
"I. Will. Get. You. Justice," I say.

We just try and enjoy the rest of the night by watching movies and laughing.

༄

A few days later, while Talia is sleeping in her apartment, when Gabe unexpectedly walks in and does the unexpected; puts a pillow over her mouth so she can't scream after he kissed her and removes the covers and her clothes. Then he r@pes her. And he enjoys every minute of it.

The next morning, she walks up and finds her clothes off and, on the ground, her body covered in bruises, her one wrist chained up, but no one else is there.

So, she calls the only family she has, Gabe.

"Hello?" He says tiredly.
"Can you come over? Something feels off."
"I'll be over in ten," he says getting out of bed.

When he gets here, I tell him about my memory of last night and waking up this morning.

"Oh. That is weird," he says oddly.
"What do you mean? What do you know?" I ask trying to control the crimson red color on my face.
"It was just a stupid dare. I wasn't going accept it, but I didn't want to seen as a kitty," he says not happily admitting.
"What are you talking about?" I confusingly ask.
"I was hanging out with the guys, and then dared me to have nonconsensual sex with you. I only agreed because I didn't want to be seen as a kitty. But then they started really getting on me about it, so I came here to just shut them up, but then I lost control," he says crying.
"You are my best friend. I never meant to hurt you," he says balling like a fool
"I think you should go because I guess the only fool here is me," I say trying to hold it together.
