After dropping off Max, Billy got a few things for Susan, Neil wasn't home so he was safe. Putting all the things away, he started to work out. Seeing through his window, he could see Anastasia covering her face taking her hands down a man took her by her wrist and ragged her back in, people were coming in and out of her home. Something was wrong in his mind no woman should be treated like that. Closing the door behind him as his father got out of his car along with Susan.
"Where are you off too?"
"My boss wanted me over."
"Fine." Slamming his car. "I hope its not to fire you."
That hurt... He liked his job including the ladies and mothers. Walking up the hill as cars drove by a little fast crossing the other side where it was safe for him to walk, a horse walked along beside him. He stopped and petted him a little. As he got to the house, rang the door bell. Anastasia opens the door. "Billy?"
He smiled with that charming smile. "Hey, ugh so, sorry to bother you for a bit. But I was wondering if I could come in?" Moving to the side to let him in. He smiles, as he gets far enough into the house. Still with that charming smile he asked. "You are alright?"
Face was bright red, her eyes watering as she hid her wrist. "Yeah I'm fine." He doesn't care about her, so he had to come by for something else. "I'll get papa for ya."
Taking her wrist that was bruised. Hearing a small painful noise. Letting go really fast. "Sorry." Taking a step closer to her. "I was wanting to talk to you." Looking away from her wrist. "Do you want me to beat him up for you?"
That made Anastasia laugh. "No." Then faked a smiled. "Thank you. Are you really sure you are here for me and not for my papa?"
Chuckling he bites his bottom lip. "I'm sure and I wanted to thank you for helping me out last night and this morning." Whipping the tear away. "I'm sorry for being an asshole to you when we first met. That wasn't cool of me and still isn't."
She didn't know why she felt safe with him at that moment knowing it was nothing but friends. Anastasia liked him a lot, he was a bad boy, swearing up and down she would never like him like that. Promising herself. FAILED! In her mind he would just hold her and make sure everything was going to be okay.. And that she would save him and Max from their parents. It's only a dream... she was going to be okay with that or at least try too. "You don't have to apologizes, you just moved here and you are trying to fit in... to tell you the truth no one does, they just think they do, because of the friends that they have." Stopping herself. "Not that... gosh sorry, I meant.." Stopping herself. "You know what forget what I said. All is in the past."
Watching her getting flustered with her words the charm worked. "Good. So what are your plan for tonight then?"
"Nothing, but you and Max along with your family are more than welcome to come." So badly want to melt into his eyes she looks away from him as she takes a step back. "If you want too."
"You mean that?" He would join them after dropping off Max.
"Sure am. Papa would love to see you."
"And would this person be joining us who gave you that mark on your wrist."
Glancing down she rubs at it. "Sadly yes." The person who hurt her was her father, he didn't mean too, but she didn't want to go with him because was finally happy knowing that she's happy with herself and that she has people that need her.
"Wonderful, I'll be back at seven."
Walking Billy back out, her father came from upstairs. Billy looked back and saw the man, spinning around he introduced himself. "Hi, I'm Billy"
"So this is Billy." Sticking his hand out. "Nice to meet you Billy, I'm Joe."
"You as well. I do have to go but I'll be seeing you for dinner." Looking at Anastasia. "I do hope to see a smile on your beautiful face." Winking at her.
Rolling her eyes as she shook her head. "Bye Billy." That indeed make her smile.
