Between the Sheets

Behind Closed Doors (Part 7)

Seth dropped me off at home before he had to leave for work. He didn't want to, but he knew I was right. I couldn't believe he asked me to move in with him so soon. Yeah, I had planned on leaving, but I just didn't know where or how. I knew my father wasn't going like the idea of me leaving but I couldn't stay here anymore.

Seth told me he would pick me up tomorrow morning and take me to work. He also said that he wanted me to stay with him tomorrow night. But I knew I couldn't.

I lay now in my bed thinking about him about us. He said he would call when he got off, so I had the phone in my room so I wouldn't wake anyone. I had avoided a beating tonight because dad wasn't home when I got in. More than likely out drinking. Mom was sleeping in her chair. I made dinner, being sure to put it in the warmers for them, then slipped into my room to hide myself away.

I heard when dad came in that he called for me, but I stayed hidden. When things quit down, I knew he was sleeping. I peeped out to see that mom had moved to the bedroom.

The phone rang at eleven just as it did the other night. I picked up before it had time to wake anyone.

"Hey," I say

"Hey, you alright?" he asked

"Yeah, just waiting on you,"

"I could come over if you want," he says

I smile at the thought, "It's late."

"Is that a no?" he asks

"I have to get up in the morning and go to work," I tell him

"Alright, what time do you want me to pick you up?"

"I have to be there at nine, so I guess eight."

"Ok, will your parents be there?" he asked

" Just my mom, dad, leaves early for work. And moms not going be coming out the house" I tell him

"You sure I don't want to show up and be chased off by a shot gun?"

I smile. "The day my mom steps outside, hell will freeze over," I tell him

"I love you," he says

"I love you,"

"Tomorrow night will talk about that other thing we were talking about," he says

"What's that?" I ask, acting innocent

"You moving in with me?" he says "Goodnight baby"

"Goodnight."

I wait until he hangs up before putting the phone back on the charger.

The next day, as I was showering, I heard my father yelling. I don't think about it because he will be gone to work before I leave out. I am in the process of rinsing off when the bathroom door busts open. I jump, trying to cover myself as he throws open the shower curtain.

"You fucking little cunt" dad  says hissing at me as he grabs a hand full of my dark curls

"Och dad, what did I do" I ask as he drags me out the bathroom room

"What is wrong with this" he ask putting my face in his plate

"I'm sorry" I say tears in my eyes

"You expected me to eat fucking burnt food" he ask

"No sir"

"Fix some more"

"May I dress first please"

"Hell no" he says slapping my ass as I stood up

I shake as I go to the stove and perpear him some more eggs and bacon. As I cook I feel as he gets up and steps in behind me a shiver goes down my body.
