THIRTEEN

           His body was crushing my own. I couldnt breath beneath him. I think he liked it that way.

"What do we say Eli?" His honeyed voice crept into my head. It was wrong. This was all wrong.

"I cant breath". I gasped.
His lips smashed against mine. I went rigid. He hummed softly as his tongue explored my mouth.

I felt sick.

He finally pulled away. Even in the surrounding darkness I knew he was staring at me. I could feel his eyes boring into mine.

"What's wrong? Your awfully tense tonight".

I didnt want to do this. Instead of answering I turned my head and stared at the night clock.

He took that opportunity as a sign of omission. He planted a gentle, yet firm kiss on my neck.
"Spread your legs baby".

-----------------

I was slightly confused when I woke up. It took me a good two minutes before I finally recognized where I was.

Conn's office.

"You up?"

I made a grunting sound, but it was more guttural.

No, I'm not a happy person in the morning!

Someone, presumably Conn, gently shook my shoulder. It set off an alarm in my brain.

His hands caressed up my arm, fingers tracing my collarbones, then all to quickly they were around my neck. Squeezing!

"Fuck off!" I snarled, pulling away from his touch.

I was still burrowed beneath the blankets so I had no way to tell if he was bothered by my outburst.

Not that it mattered.

"There's coffee brewing".

His voice was getting distant.

"You should take a shower".

I heard the soft click of the door and let out a breath.

I kicked my blankets off of me and sat up. The room swayed and I had to grab my head to settle the dizzy spell.

"I'm gonna kill that asshole". I murmered.

My phone buzzed. An unknown caller ID flashed across the screen.

Maybe it's Mandy? I still had yet to set up her contact info.

I answered, "Hay, this is Elin. What do you want?"

It was a rude thing to say, especially if the person was not Mandy, but I couldnt care less.

"I want you to come back Elinis".

I almost lost my grip on the device when Jae's voice flooded through.

I thought I blocked him.

"Are you there?"

Jae didnt sound angry, not at all; it was strange. I thought he'd go berserk after what I did.

"Y-yea".

"Please come home".

Was that desperation in his voice?

Jae was a good liar, and an even better actor. This could all be a hoax. Something to lure me.

I wasnt falling for it.

"Didnt you get my message?" I asked sharply.

"I'll take the bars down".
