Beautiful Marriage

05. Crying is for the strong

Ashley

I couldn't take this overwhelming stressed that I've gotten myself into. I was only taking a drink to make the image of Joel and Brianna and their sexual noises disappeared from my head. But now I'm in a shit ass mess.

The moment I told Nate I don't have a home he froze. Because he might just realized that he's with a broken ass , messed up , homeless girl.

Jai had the earphones in his ear so I knew he was ignoring our conversation. He bops his head with the music and his hair do the same. His hair was long and straight.

Nate hair was however trim neatly.

"Let's get something to eat first before having this conversation." He suggested.

I wasn't thinking of food. I didn't feel hungry although I haven't eaten all day. I'm thinking about were I will live. I could pay for a motel but that would drain my pocket in no time.

The car pulls up at Oceans. It was a nice restaurants and palm trees lined the drive way. The palm trees were doctorate with blue pepper lights .The atmosphere was cool and welcoming. I did not want to get out of the car. I told Nate to get me fries and chicken. I wasn't in the mood for a fancy menu.

The moment he handed me the box with two prices of chicken and some fries I devoured it all.

"Damn girl" Jai said but I ignored him.

"I will eat yours too." I said.

"Hell no" he said taking his chicken and stuff it in his mouth.

You could heard the noise the soda cup was making as I drank it all.

Nate looked at me with a sly smile "what I'm hungry?" I said with fries in my mouth and the chicken in my hand.

"You eat like my dog?" Jai jokes."and so freaking annoying with the soda cup."

I stick my tongue out at him.

Nate was now driving "where to?" He asked me.

"To apartment Jill on north." He looked back at me "I'm going to get my clothes."

A phone was ringing and it's not mine since the my phone battery is dead.

"Hello" I heard Jai answered. I guess that confirms that it was his phone.

"Oh come on babe. I didn't stood you up."

"No, you can't do that."

"Alright I'm coming."

"Stop the car bro" he said hoping out. "I got a sexy ass girl waiting."

"Remember that you can't get it on tonight." I heard Nate yelled to him. I don't know what they were talking about but I see him mouthted 'i know'

"Just turn left. It's around the corner." I navigated him. I knew that such a rich and wealthy guy would never be caught in this part of the city.

"I'm sorry for being such a bother " I said a minute later "and thanks for dinner."

"It's nothing" he said dismissing me.

I stayed silent as he drove he turned once more before he reach the apartment. The Air Condition in the car release cool warm air which fills my nostrils.

"Thanks." I said the moment the car stopped and hopped out. I put on the jacket he gave me before leaving the house.

"Ash?" He called out. I stopped and smile at the name he just called me. He might be someone I just met . He might be a stranger but those words warms my heart in this cold snowy weather. I turned around "yes Nate." I answered.
