Guns And Laces

Bump On The Road

Chapter Twenty-Nine

"You'll be able to catch him over this beautiful, dead fuckin' body. But even then, he will be the one coming after you."

-Rheannon.

You ever get the feeling that you have been fucked to the point where there’s no coming back from? There’s only going forward. And no, I don’t mean being fucked in my bed - in my life. Because that’s exactly what I have just experienced.

Angelo is waiting downstairs for me in his car while I came back to my apartment to grab a few important things. Those important things being the contract that was left here yesterday. I grab the brown envelope lying on the floor from where it was slid under the door and tear it open.

My eyes scan the single sheet of white paper that was going to seal my future for me. I read the terms over and over - although there are not many - to make sure that there is no loophole because I am not sacrificing for nothing.

I finally muster the courage to sign it and look around for a pen when something falls out of the envelope and falls on my foot. I quickly look down to see it is a pen.

“How generous.” I mutter to myself and sign the paper with the black ink pen.

A shiver goes up my spine and I close my eyes to keep my tears at bay. “I am doing this for my family.” I whisper to myself.

It’s the same sentence that I have been constantly chanting in my head for the past three days. Even though it did not bring me any comfort - the only thing that did was Angelo’s presence…and his touch.

He had been super clingy since that day. We have been having sex every hour and he’s also working from home. I don’t know why but I am just glad that I get to experience this with him. All of it for the very last time.

I shake my head to get rid of these thoughts. The only thing they are going to bring is tears and maybe second guessing. I sigh and scan the document from my phone before sending it to the unknown number I had received a message from yesterday.

I look at the message once again and close my phone.

The contract is at your apartment, now. You now have five days to kiss your life goodbye.

I shove the contract in a small duffle bag along with the important things that I was supposedly here for and zip it up before making my way downstairs.

“What took you so long? I was about to come up and check on you.” Angelo spoke as soon as I sat inside the car.

I pointed at the bag, “My books and some work documents. I think I am gonna go back to nursing once we go back to Greece.” The lie slips out of my mouth so smoothly that I almost die of shame inside.

I want to scream right now. I want to tell him what I have just done. But like I said there’s no going back now.

I only have four days left with him.

“Why? Stripping is no longer your cup of tea?” Angelo teased.

I let out a small chuckle, “No, my husband doesn’t allow actually.”

“Ah, what a gentleman.” He shakes his head in mock respect.

I slap his arm lightly and turn to look ahead as he starts the car.
