The promise

Part 16

"God what a fuck up of a day." I murmur under my breath. I am furious with Mira for what she did today. Now I have to go have a conversation with my mother about her staying the night, because she might have been drugged. If she fixed two of the drinks by herself with less alcohol and the next two was given to her by Brad. Something must have been in it. Brad has a history of putting things in girls drink to loosen them up.

"What happened tonight with your father?" My mother ask as I enter the kitchen. I sit down on the bar high stool.

"The man is sorry for the use of my language fucking persistent and I won't let him let anyone deciede what I do with my life."

"Not accepted. He is your father and he wants whats best for you." She put a glass of water in front of me.

"Best for me? Best for me is letting me decided what I want to do not shoving his ideas down my throat especially in front of his associates."

"He wasn't shoving anything down your throat. You knew about tonight and that he had to introduce you to his associate. You can't just give up on the idea without even considering.

I take a drink of my water. "Mom I am not here to talk to you about that. Amira is asleep in my room right now."

"Excuse me?"

"Mom she went to a party and I am pretty sure she was drugged. Some guy wanted to take advantage of her." I screech at the thought.

"What? Is she okay? What guy? Did you alert the authority?"

"I don't know for sure maybe she just doesn't tolerate alcohol well and had one too many, but I am sure she was drugged at least a small amount. I have heard he does that and his father is a lawyer."

"Lawyer or not he can't get away with actions like that." She put her hands on her hips. "Is she okay? Does she need anything?"

"I gave her something to change into, I will take water and advil up to her and she should be fine." I give her a confirming smile. She paused at the kitchen sink.

"What is she to you?" She asked. Mira is turning into my whole world. That's what she is and fuck I am scared.

"She isn't my girlfriend yet but I can't stop thinking about her." That's the first time I ever said those words out loud. "Today just proved how much she means to me, but I don't know."

"Why don't you know?" She asked, with surprise.

"She kissed another guy mom, right in front of me. It hurt so much and that is scary."

"You are scared you like her too much?" Here she goes playing the psychiatrist she insist she was from a different life. I don't mind talking to my mother about anything. We have always been close since I was a child.

"Yes. It is terrifying. I wanted to be so mad at her for kissing him, but seeing her cry and beg me was my undoing. I forgave her right away I just can't get the kiss out of my head."

"I am sorry about that, but if she means that much to you and you are sure she was drugged then I am sure it is something you can overlook. I am sure you will do what's best." She place a kiss on my head and starts to walk away.

"You know I have to tell your father she is here. I promise he won't come disturbing you at least not tonight." She said at the door. I will have to hear about our fight and Amira tomorrow. " I won't tell him the girlfriend part."

"Oh, Should I be worried about both of you sleeping in the same room?"

"I am pretty sure she is passed out by now and I wouldn't disrespect you or her like that." I smiled.

"That's my boy. I knew I raised a good one." She smiled from ear to ear, as she walked away. I grab the glass of water and Advil and head up. I hope she is asleep by now.

I watch her sleep, passed out completly. She looks so peaceful and beautiful. When doesn't she look beautiful. I pull her into me more. How could she put herself in that position? I know it was probably Bonnie that put her in it, but she didn't try to get out. I just about had a heart attack when I saw her sitting in that tub on his lap, wearing that bikini that left nothing to the imagination. I hate that bikini. I hate that he put his hands around her waist, I hate that he was wishpering in her ears, I hate that he laid his dirty mouth on what she has only given me. He could have raped her and I would have ended up behind bars for murder. My blood boils thinking about everything, but I don't hate her. I fell asleep thinking about her.

*****
"Oh my head." I heard her groan from the bedroom. Good she is awake. "Where am I?" I turn off the sink water and head to her.

"Take the advil and water. It will help with your head and you are at my place." Her head finally focus on my voice and she realises where she is.

"Oh my God. No? What happened? Did we?" She asked sitting up a bit too fast.

"Nothing happened Mira. You only slept here. Take your advil." I hand it to her and she takes both pills.

"I am so sorry." She holds her mouth and rush to the washroom with me closely behind her. She place her head over the toilet and start emptying her stomach. I pull her hair back and rub her back. She's going to need another Advil.

"We need to talk." We both said together.

"We need to talk, but you can wash up first if you like. I have a toothbrush and fresh towels for you here."

"Okay. Thank you." She gets up holding her head and shuts the door behind her. After twenty minutes or so, she comes out dressed. I am sitting at the end of the bed, thinking about how to start this conversation.

"I am sorry Mase I didn't mean it. I was drunk and I wasn't thinking right. It is a stupid excuse, but I was drunk." She wishper at the door.

"You kissed him." Was the only words that pass my lips.

She walked over and sit beside me. "I did and I wish I could take it back. I am sorry." I have already forgiven her but, I can't go on one day with any guys thinking that she is single.

"You were right last night. I didn't fight for what's mine and I always do. You are mine, but if I had lay a finger on him you would have killed me. I was respecting your wishes, giving you the freedom of being just you and I. I can't do that anymore, you need to pick."

"Please don't make me do that. You know the situation I am in. I picked you already, isn't that enough?" She can't be serious.

"After you let another guy stick his tounge down your mouth."

"Don't force me to do something that you know I can't." She stands up from the bed and she is angry. "I am sorry I kissed Brad. I am sorry I went to the party and got drunk." She put her boots on and walked to the door. Were does she think she is going. "I am sorry I couldn't be the girl of your dreams." I hear her voice crack. Shit. She is the girl of my dreams.

"Mira wait." I am quick to push the opening door shut. I turn her around to face me and her cheeks is stained with tears. "Mira look at me. You are the girl of my dreams and that's why yesterday hurt so much."

"You don't have to lie. I understand if you want to end it all today. Just let me go."

"I am not lying. I mean it. Please consider it."

"I have and I can't. Not now at least. Your world is crazy and it leaves me vulnerable. I can't go back there. I won't let you make me go back there." She cried. What happened that was so bad that she doesn't even want to go think of it. I don't want to be the asshole that makes her relive it. "I am sorry about saturday, but if that's what you want, then we should probably end whatever this is."

I push her further into the door. I want to lean down and kiss her lips, but I can't. Fuck, I want to so badly. She notice my hesitation and move out my hold.

"Thank you for taking care of me last night. I have to go." She opens the door and leaves.
