The family wreck

It has been over a week since Esmeray and Liam stayed over. And to say that I can't stop thinking about her is an understatement.

Ever since that morning, I saw her awake in my arms, trying to get up, I have been think about her non stop.

Her beautiful sun-kissed skin that is very soft and soothing, her honey brown eyes that you can get lost in, her beautiful chocolate brown hair in its natural waves, and her soft blush pink lips that make you want to devour them.

All day every day, all that has been on my mind is the way she looked up at me when I spoke, and how peaceful and safe looked in my arms, how smooth her skin felt under my touch, the way she let her guard down around me.

One thing I know for sure about Esmeray is that she never lets her guard down and I mean never. But that morning I noticed how she relaxed into my touch, soaking in my warmth. That was the only time I saw her lower her guard and just relax. And the shocking part is, it was with me.

I am so glad that she is letting me, even if it is subconsciously. I know that she has a lot of things and stuff to deal with and I know for a fact that I don't know everything.

I know that she had a horrible childhood, so it is very hard for her to trust people. She doesn't like to let her guard down even with people she trusts, so seeing her do that with me makes me feel delighted.

All I just want is for her to be happy and free without any care in the world. I want her to get her revenge so she can finally let go of her bad past move on and become happy.

I will make sure of that. I promise that to myself and her.

The ball is this weekend and I still need to pick a dress, so today I am going dress shopping with my aunt and grandma. I wanted to go alone since I love shopping alone but they insisted on coming with me, saying that it was my first ball.

I wore a pair of jeans, a white shirt, and my converse. I took a small bag with a gun, a wallet, and car keys. I put my hair in a half up half down, put my jewelry on, sprayed some perfume, and walked downstairs.

They were already done getting ready, so they were waiting for me. We said goodbyes and got in my Jeep.

It took us 40 minutes to get to the dress shop that my grandma and aunt wanted to go to. They said that they knew the owner as they have been going to that store for years now and it had an amazing selection of dresses for different events.

We went in the shop and were greeted by the owner, who was a sweet lady named Brenda. We talked for a little bit about what type of style, color, and design I want, then it was time to try on different dresses.

It has now been 4 hours in this shop and I am still trying on dresses. FOUR FREAKING HOURS!!!! Can you believe that?!!

I still didn't find the dress that screamed bad bitch but also was me, so we got to power through people.

I honestly can't wait to go home and go to bed. I am so freaking tired. Trying on dresses can be very exhausting.

After trying on a couple more dresses I finally found the dress I was looking for. It was gorgeous! We quickly bought it and went to a restaurant to eat lunch, since aunt Val and grandma already had their dresses. After lunch, we were all really tired so we decided to go home and relax for the rest of the day.

I was catching up on some emails and watching a movie when Killian called me.

I picked up. "Hey, what's up?"

"Hi...umm...so I found something...about your family," he said, pausing in between.

"Ok, what is it?"

"Well...I think that it is better if I tell you in person."

"Why what's wrong? Can't you tell now?" I asked while turning off the tv.

"No! I can't! It's not the best idea. By the way, where are you?" He said.

"I am at the safe house. Why?"

"Nothing just wondering. Anyways come see me later I will tell you then."

"What! But I am tired. Can't you tell me on the phone?" I whined.

"Nope. No can do." He said sternly.

"Fine but I am not driving, so you have to pick me up." 

"Fine. Send me the address and be ready in 20 minutes." He hung up. Ugh! Now I have to change.

I sent him the address and went to the closest to find an outfit.

I changed into black pants, a white cropped T-shirt, and an oversized jacket. I put on my sneakers, tucked my gun in my waistband, and took my phone.

I went downstairs to tell grandpa that I was leaving so they didn't bombard me with calls.

I went outside when I got a text from Killian saying that he was there. He was leaning against his car, looking at his phone. He was wearing a black muscle tee with black cargo pants and his signature silver chain. He looked really good if you ask me. Hot even, but I wouldn't say that to him. It would only boost his overgrown ego.

I walk up to him and he looks up from his phone and smiles. He opened my door for me and then quickly ran to get on the driver's side.
