That Girl: Book ONE [COMPLETED]

Chapter Thirty One

I stared at Mr. Carter as I slowly started to catch my breath. I took my hands from him resting them on my lap. I held the opening of my robe closed with my hands because I felt exposed. I started to cry again just thinking about how used I felt. It was evident that I was just a little show to them, a little puppet whose strings were way to easy to pull, all in all; I felt small.

I started to cry watching my tears drip in the cotton robe that covered my body. Before I break out any louder Mr. Carter pulled me into his chest as he helped me to my feet. I wrapped my arms around his waist as I soaked his white collar shirt in tears.

"It'll be or right." He said pushing my hair out of my face. I didn't bother answering because all I wanted to do was scream.

I heard the doors to our locker room open and wheels rolling on the floor. It came straight around to where Mr. Carter and I stood then stop.

''What are we to do Sir?" A young male voice asked.

"Take everything that you see here and her swipe card from her locker too. Meet us up in my penthouse and make sure Maria got the things I asked her for." Mr. Carter said.

Lightly he gripped my feet from under me as he saw my face. He looked at me giving me a warm smile before kissing the top of forhead as I skipped over my breath. I rested my head on his shoulders while my arms wrapped around his neck.

He took me towards the private elevator getting in as we headed to his penthouse. I saw him staring at my through the mirror of the elevator and immediately shy away by shoving my face in his arm.

"Don't look at me." I said tripping over my breath as my chest moved up and down from crying. "I look ugly!" I said causing him to laugh.

"Its not possible Beyonce!" He said looking at me. "Even if you feel your face isn't what you want it to be, you're still beautiful. Your confidence does more work than you can imagine." He said.

The elevator door flew open and we exited. He walked down the hallway of his personal floor as he made his way to the door. Before he could knock or swipe his key card in the slot above the door handle, his penthouse door flew open.

"Do you need any help?" A lady asked from near the kitchen island as she sat besides a gentleman, both dressed in work attire.

"I can handle it." Mr. Carter said sharply.

''Suit it yourself!" She said as she continued sipping on her wine.

He walked me towards the room that I assumed was his, as he placed me softly on the warm mattress. He walked towards the door shutting it as he stood near the wall staring at me. I balled myself up against the soft sheet bringing my feet towards my chest.

"Beyonce, can you atleast drink this for me?" He said reaching in the small refridgerator and handing me a water. I took the water from him, as he sat besides me pulling me up and close to his chest. I turned the water cap slowly as my hand shook uncontrollably. I brought the water up to my mouth taking it back in big gulps. Immediately, I started to feel my breathing transition into its normal state.

"Good!" He said taking the bottle from me and holding it as I rested into his chest. "Do you wanna tell me what happened?" He asked.

I was just trying to regain my composure. But the thought of having to explain how Jeremiah's nasty hands creeped around my skin just made me cry.

"You don't have to if you don't want to. It would just give me a much better idea of what happened so I can work on doing something about that." He said.

"Do what?" I studdered! "I'm a waitress at an adult beach, its my job to be appealing to the customers, thats how I get huge tips." I said.

"No, your job, is to serve you customers to the best of your ability. No matter what you wear. Your appealing to their eyes, not their hands. No one is allowed to assualt you any which way. You aren't allowed fight a customer, but you are allowed to report them so they can be taken of the property and fined." He explained. He looked at my face one more time studying it before dropping his head. "But I don't think the guy that did that should be fined. I think he should be locked up because it sames as if this happened before." He said causing me to face him in surprise. "I'm right. Ain't I?" He asked.
