Infatuation

Chapter 14- Sweet Escape

Connie Parian

Hearing the clicking noise twice and from my car I stuck my keys in my purse and walked to my apartment. It was mid day, I had just returned him from my late night rundevu with Adrian . My legs were still super soar, but I could manage. Turning down the hall to my door I was a slim figure leaning against the wall. Something about the person was strange and once I was close I knew why.

"What the hell are you doing here ?" I glared at him searching through my purse trying to retrieve my house keys in my bag.

"That's the treatment I get baby girl. Come on now you can do better than that." He smiled

I rolled my eyes "Why are you here Johnny?"

"Just coming to check on my girl. See how how you are doing."

"I'm not your girl and you know it. " I said giving a dumb look.

His smile faded cause me to smirk knowing I was striking a nerve." Your mine and you know it. You better stop playing cause I will hurt you and who ever else it takes."

I looked him up and down."I have a new boyfriend, I'll be fine." I smiled as I had just found my key.

"He's not going to last for long. Come on your just a pretty face with a good blow job who won't loose your precious virginity . He'll cheat soon enough."

"Haha, well you you should know that I lost my precious virginity, so he'll be okay." I laughed sticking my key in the door.

"Your lying."

"Nope." I opened the door

"You bitch!" He grabbed me by the back of my shirt and slung me down. " I waited five fucking years and you give it to a stupid dick in one night." His voice rung in my ears from the hard fall he hovered over me and hit me. He was fixing to do it again when he screamed stumbling back. He seemed surprised my who Whoever it was and dashed away. I closed my eyes as I was lifted up off the ground.

"Connie, Connie . Are you alright ? Can you here me?" I opened my eyes , Duncan was at my feet and Anna craddled my head.

"Yeah." My voice was hoarse.

"Are you sure. It looks like he hit pretty hard."

"Please! He punches like a bitch. " I lifted up.

"What happen ?"

"He got upset because he wanted to be the first ." I licked my lip tasting the dry blood.

"The first?" Duncan looked confused.

"Your First time!" Anna's eyes grew wide with excitement.

"Yep." I smirked

"Huh?"

"Duncan, you dummy she lost her virginity!" She shouted

"Well announce it to the whole world why don't you."

"Oh !! Go head the Parian."

"I'm sorry haha. I just can't believe. Adrian has to be a lucky man."

I shook my head, trying to keep my head friend m swimming I sat there with my eyes closed as a phone rang. I could here Duncan speaking to What seem to be his mother. Opening my eyes I heard him say bye.

"Anna, my mom said she is on her way to the restaurant."

"And ! You should've cancelled."

"I can't cancel on my mother."

"Well my best friend just got attacked by a lunatic and you want to go out to dinner. That's a great conversation topic. "Oh yeah you know my friend was beat up but we decided to have lunch instead of see if she okay." Great topic Dun." She rolled her eyes.

"It's okay Anna, I will be fine. Go out to dinner, and have a good time. I'm going to take a shower and lay down. A relaxing time I think."

"................ Alright,but I'm calling Adrian to let him know and if you need or if he comes back call me. Next time I see him I'm going to kick his ass." She smacked her fist the Palm of her hand.

"Okay Hulk Smash. Haha. Now leave before you two are late." I hugged her and got up from the couch.

"Okay,but I'm serious we are a phone call away." She said getting up and walking towards the front door."

"Okay Boo, love you." I waved closing the bathroom door.

Pulling my hair up in a bun I turned on the water. Looking in the mirror I saw the split lip and cut on my brow. Sighing I removed my clothing and got in to shower.

Taking a long shower I let out of the aggression and pain by screaming and trying in the showing. Once I knew I was okay I turned off the water and wrapped towel around my waist.

Grabbing my purse off of the coffee table in the living room I went to my room to get dress. While I lotioned up I kept hearing the notification sound coming from my purse. Putting on a shirt I picked up my phone and checked the notification bar I had several text messages from Johnny and he was calling now. Rolling my eyes I turned my phone off not even wanting to think about him or the situation.

I'm graduating soon and I don't need this problem. Leaving my phone on the night stand I walked out of the room back into the living room and logged on to Netflix from the t.v. I watched The Matrix. In the mist of laughing at Neo and the Agents I snuggled up on the couch and fell asleep.

Waking up I felt myself being lifted. Soon I was placed back down. Opening my eyes I saw Adrian at the edge of the bed. He had taking me in my bedroom and layed me on the bed.

"Baby." Stretching I moved towards him.

"Hey baby, are you okay ?" He looked straight towards the wall.

"Yes, baby I'm fine. What's wrong?" I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Why haven't you answered your phone?"

"I wanted to get some rest and didn't want any interruptions." I placed my chin on his shoulder. Yeah, it was the whole truth but it was close enough.

"You need to leave your phone on at all times. I was in a meeting when Anna called. I called several times with no answer. You had me nervous."

I kissed his cheek. His beard soar on my bruised lips. He turned on the bed to face me.

"He did this to you didn't he?" He rubbed his thumb across my bottom lip. I stood in silence. "Answer me!" His jaw clinched as he balled up his fist.

"Yes, but I'm fine." I placed my hand on top of his balled fist. "My money maker is still intact. See!" I smiled pointing to my face.

"I just want to make sure your safe." He said shaking.

"And I am." I kissed his lips. Taking his suit jacket off, I threw on the chair. "Now relax with me."

Laying back on the bed. I watched him get up and take off his shoes placing them in the corner. He came and layed beside me. Holding hands we layed there in mute. Letting go of his hand I laughed .

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing, and then again everything."

He sat there quiet and I heard a light chuckle. Getting on top of him I laughed sighing as I layed my head against his chest.

Laughter, a sweet escape from a prison of sorrow.
