His Maid ( rewriting )

Chapter 9: Words cut deep {Game 4}

             I sat on the bench with Riley who woke when she heard her dad limping into the sick room yelping in pain.

At the moment I was still on the edge of angry, I begged Riley numerous times to go back outside to watch the game but she doesn't wanna leave with out seeing her daddy which sadly is who I'm trying to avoid.

" hay, why don't we go for more candy?!" I ask knowing her answer.
Yeah i know so much sugar in one day is bad but , I really don't wanna see her father at the moment.

I get up taking her hand walking to the door .
"Where are you going?"his angered voice bounce off the changing room walls. Riley jumped spinning around eyes wide like a child caught stealing, Stephen eyes held nothing but fury and that scared me, I've never seen him so angry.

"Riley sweet heart, go outside and wait with Robert please,"I instruct .
She didn't give a reply running out the room when the door shut my blank look turned to a glare.

"What the hell is your problem?"I ask remaining calm.
He rolls his eye crossing his arms over his chest.
"My problem?! What's your problem! Suddenly you think your damn super woman starting fights with Ayesha," he says like he knows what happened better than me.

Super women even start fights? I believe not ,she protects her city and her love ones, she wouldn't just trip on less someone pushed her . So he's technically says its not my fault .hah.

"You don't know what happened Stephen! She s-"
"I don't give a fuck!, don't start shit with Ayesha!" He shouts glaring back at me angrily, but his anger could never match mines at the moment.

"Are you serious! Since when your on her side ?! Last time I checked you were with me not her!" I screamed "and if I want to punch the shit out of her I will," I growl stepping closer.

He stepped forward also challenging me , we glared at each other waiting to see who'll back down.
When he noticed I wasn't going to back down he stepped closer."you never listen!"
He shove me against the door roughly  , his hand pressed my shoulders to the chipped white door.

"Stay away from Ayesha or else," he demands threatening.
"Or else what?!" I shove him back successfully making him stumble back.
"You'll fire me?!, well you know what?!, I quit!your a damn asshole ! And I'm not gonna let myself play this stupid game with you!"
I yell grabbing my hand bag off the bench . He stood there stunned by what I just said but he didn't take long to retaliate.

I was pinned against the wall once again but I couldn't get out of this one. His big hands was wrapped around my neck tightly , his eyes were dark but it wasn't the dark look that made me pool in my underwear , it was the kind that would make anybody cower under it.

"Mya... You don't understand do you? You can't leave me , where are you gonna live? By grandma and papa?" He gives out a chuckle knowing I would never go back there to live.

"You gonna go to another hotel? With what
money? The money your saving to go uni?, you can't go anywhere babe your stuck with me because your poor , you depend on me, why do you think I put you down as a legal guardian? You can't be away from me with Riley without me knowing where you are for 48 hours ," he grins knowing he won.

He drops his hands from my neck stepping back, waiting for my next move. My breathing was heavy as I let everything sink in. What have I gotten myself into?

I can't be with someone like this.

Before he can stop me I open the door running out, I run down the tunnel into the rowdy crowd of Cleveland supporters. I look around for Robert our body guard , finally I found him sitting beside the Curry family in the stands. I squeeze through muttering 'excuse ' to everyone I had to slip past , finally I reach the row they were in . I squeeze past Robert who was sitting on the outside by the stairs, then past Mr. Curry and Seth , I reached infront of Riley who was sitting between Seth and Mrs. Curry.

I didn't dear look any of the Currys in their eyes , I couldn't get myself too.
"Come on Riley ,we're going for a drive," I tell her.
She slips off the chair taking her bag from her uncle. By now all the Currys and Robert's eyes were on me watching me with confused eyes.
"Mya darling? Are you alright?" Sonya asked ,the worry in her voice clear.

I hadn't realized I was crying till the tear rolling down my cheek dropping on the hand I had on Riley's shoulder.
I wiped it away quickly nodding , I smiled at her reassuringly but not a person who witnessed believed.

I didn't know what else to do or say, what was I supposed to tell her?
You made a monster ? Your son has me like a slave and breaks me down , makes me feel like I'm nothing like I'm nothing to them but a poor little girl.

I took Riley's hand quickly hurrying out the stands and out the arena into the quiet streets of Cleveland.
What am I supposed to do now? No cab was anywhere in sight , there wasn't a buss stop anywhere close and I wasn't hitch hiking with a two year old , I've watched to much shows to know that doesn't end well.

I look at Riley who haven't said a word since I came for her, I think she understand more than we give her credit for.
"Well Riri ,I guess we're walking," I told her , she looked up at me smiling sadly at me.

I started my journey ,walking to where ? I was still deciding. I picked up Riley after a few minutes feeling safer with her in my arms. She'll be my protector, she's one strong little girl , her parents are in a roller coaster relationship and she's in the middle having to decide but not only among her parents but me too.

I came to a stop at corner to read a street sign when a black Range Rover pulled up beside us.

The window rolled down to show a relieved looking Seth Curry.
"Get in Mya," I sign opening the back door putting in a sleeping Riley and climbed in the front seat .

"You okay? " he asked softly as if I'd break if he talked louder, which I probably would if he did.
"No," I mutter keeping my eyes on my black nails.
He drives off heading to what I hope is not Stephen's and I hotel.
"We'll talk about it when we get to my hotel," he says glancing back at a sound asleep Riley.

"You left us worried," he says looking over at me.
"How?" Okay that was a stupid question but i could of been crying for anything.
"You were crying Mya the entire time you took to reach us and to leave, also you don't have a car," he days stepping on gas as the light turned green.

Shoot. I forgot that , I'm glad that they actually do care because if they didn't I'd be still walking to no where lost in foreign streets.

But then again, they could of only cared about Riley's safety.
