Perfect Addiction

chapter one

He looked at me with hatred in his eyes, a deadly tune played in my mind as cold bumps grew on my skin, I was curled up in a corner afraid and terrified of what this monster will do.

He came closer with a smirk on his face and a glass in his hands , spilling the brown liquid as he staggered while coming closer to me.

My eyes widened when he started to unbuckle his pants a dark cloud grew over my head as I imagined the things that he wanted to do to me.

I was scared and terrified not knowing what to do or how to get out of the situation I was in.

"Get up ! " he shouted with anger and range in his voice.

I slowly got up with trembling feet from the corner that I spend most of my time afraid of what to expect and afraid that if I leave I will no longer have protection.

"What did I told you to do" he asked grabbing me by my wrist drawing me closer to him.

" i- I no please" I begged with tears pouring down my cheek.

"Please no!"

"Kim,Kim" a voice called
" what" I jumped up realising that it was only a dream.

Not a dream but a bad memory.

" you were screaming" Lydia said with a sad look on her face.

" again huh?" I asked knowing that it wasn't the first time that my past haunts me in my sleep.

" I'm worried about you , you need to get help OK?" Lydia said before she envolped me into a big warm hug.

Lydia's my best friend from freshman year of college we are both room mates and this is our final year of college . Lydia has helped me through a lot of difficulties in my life she always had my back and was always there when I needed help which is why I would do anything for her.

" you can stay home today it you want" she said breaking the hug.

" no I can't have u covering up for me" I said while heading to the bathroom to get ready for work.

It was Saturday and I was really exited for work today knowing that I will be seeing him this morning at exactly 10:30 there was no way I was going to miss a Saturday morning without seeing him.

"Lydia you coming" I shouted from down the hall to Lydia who was talking to her boyfriend matt .

" yeah coming " she said before leaving matt with a kiss.

I worked at a grocery store that was five blocks off campus , Lydia's brother was the one who owned it which is why I was able to get a job there as a cashier , Lydia didn't do much she only supervise the place when her brother's wife wasn't there but when she wasn't doing anything she usually helps me with my work.

" good morning ". I said smiling to Brian who was cashing opposite from where I cashed.

" good morning" Brian said smiling back at me.

Brian was the other cashier that worked at the store he was Lydia's cousin but he was like
a brother to me he always looked out for my like I was his little sister thou he was two years older than i am.

" hey Brian" Lydia waved in his direction.

" hey" he nodded not giving eye contact because he was cashing an old lady.

"And look who we got here" Lydia said with a smile on her face looking at the entrance door.

" I'll be around back " Lydia pointed to the back door while walking away.

" OK then " I smiled as she winked at me.

I was lost when I saw him walking through the door of the grocery store it was like everything was in slow motion and there wasn't anyone else but him and me. He's about eight years older than I was but he' more attractive than any guy I ever seen my age

" good morning Kimberly" a husky voice said, interrupting my thoughts.

" good morning Emmet" I chirped with a smile on my face.

He was so handsome with his sharp jawline and his soft blue mesmerizing eyes that played a hopeful happy tune that could lightened up ones day every time it sparkled as the sun shone in it.

" can you show me the fruit isle" he asked

" sure " I said point to where the fruits were .

" thanks he said " leaving me in a mesmerized state.

We never really had a conversation longer than that if it wasn't for my name tag on my shirt he wouldn't have known my name and I wouldn't have known his if I hadn't heard someone called his name.

" is that all?" I said before placing three orange in a paper bag then handing it over to Emmet.

" yes thank you" he answered giving me a warm smile.

He was so handsome his smile made him even more handsome showing is white pearly teeth.

" here is your change and receipt" I said handing the paper to him.

The whole place went still when his hands enveloped in mine as he collected his change , my heart beat stopped with the time as I felt a rushing through my body. It was like I was cast away in a wonderland with only the two of us.

" um sorry" he said while unwrapping his fingers that was tangled with mine.

" yeah" I said flushed looking away with a small smile on my face.

Did he felt that?
