Save Me

Chapter Eleven

"I'm not taking your money." I said sitting in the car throwing it on his lap. He sighed giving it back to me, "Take it."

I licked my lips, crossing my arms across my chest, staring at him, furrowing my eyebrows.

"What is this? Some kind of staring competition? Just take the money and don't ask questions. Got it?" He demanded giving it back to me. I rolled my eyes at his cocky attitude.

"I'm not some kind of charity case. So take your money I have my own." I huffed putting the money in his hand. He sighed turning off the car engine. He closed his eyes annoyed. I just stared at him. He had perfect features.. His jawline was perfect, his intense eyes and his frustrated look. His hand clenched the steering wheel then loosened a bit. I shook my head clearing my thoughts.

He looked at me. Clearly he was frustrated. "Michelle..." My name rolled off his tongue. My eyes widened.

"D-Don't call me that.. I'm Minnie.. Not Michelle.." I stuttered looking away. "No your name is Michelle. So I'll call you Michelle. Now! Take the money before I get pissed off! You wanted in so you're in! And when you are in you listen to me! Follow my rules and do as I say! I wanna make sure you are safe and not in some run down hotel! After work I'll be picking you up and we will find you a new apartment! Since you have decided not to live with Dest! Am I clear?" He said with a hint of anger in his voice.

I nodded swallowing slowly. He was scaring me a bit. I played with my thumbs. He started the engine driving to the Diner. We got out the car and walked towards the front entrance. Justin slipped the money back into my purse. I looked at him but he just kept walking. Once we sat down my appetite left.

"What do you want?" He asked softly. I cleared my throat sitting up. It smelled good in here but after seeing Justin so angry my appetite left and my stomach kept churning. He just looked at me. "Erm.. I'm not hungry you can eat.." I replied looking out the window. "I now you're hungry." He sighed. I shook my head closing my eyes. To be honest Justin is scary. The way he changed moods. It's just all a bit much for me. My heart was beating fast. I was on the brink of tears.

He reached over grabbing my hand. I looked up shocked. But I couldn't see through my tears. I blinked letting them fall onto the table.

"I'm sorry.." He whispered looking into my eyes. See! He did it again! I took my hand away wiping away my tears. "Just forget about it.." I muttered playing with my napkin. I didn't wanna make eye contact.

"Please.." He said grabbing my hand again. "I said just forget about it. Can we move on!" I hissed taking my hand away. If he didn't wanna upset me then why does he play these mind games? Changing his moods? Why?

"Michelle.." He groaned. I grabbed my bag standing up.

"That's not my fucking name!" I yelled walking out the Diner.
