Resistance

Cold

"Hey sexy, it's cold out here. Hop in and I can keep you warm" I gave the man hollering out of his window a side eye and continued briskly walking down 49th street in my six and a half inch peep toe stilettos and my arms crossed in front of me. Every six steps I had to tug on my mini dress just so it wouldn't ride up. The man kept up with me as he yelled obscene comments out the passenger side window. Finally he grew tired of the chase and sped off. "Fuck you then bitch, I hope you freeze your ass off." I sighed in relief. I slowed down my pace and continued down the street.
It was only a short while before I heard another car pulled up beside me and I heard the window roll down but I kept walking. " look here sir Im done for the night and I'm not interested in your overtime" I stated while looking forward only. "Alexia get your ass in this car right now before I put you in it!" The man demanded. I stopped dead in my tracks because I knew that voice. "Bryan what the hell!" I replied sounding annoyed. "Did I stutter" he said back. I rolled my eyes and yanked the door open, I slid inside and sulked into the seat. "Why do you continue to walk around this place? You are worth so much more. Didn't dancing do the trick with destroying me, now you out here hoeing? Just had the put the icing on the cake huh?" I starred out the window in silence. "lex!" He grabbed my arm. "Why do you keep picking me up just let me be Bryan! I'm fine!" "So you want to stay in the streets spreading Eagle for every man that flashes a bill in your face! You better be thanking the lord and heavens above that it's me that's picking you up and not your bitch ass pimp Red! One day I'm not going to be here to get you! And I'm not prepared to roll up and find your cold dead lifeless body!" A tear slipped down my cheek and I sat back into the seat. He started the car and drove off the whole twenty minute ride was silent. He pulled up to his house and the garage door opened. "Your gonna stay with me for the night that way I know your safe." I kissed my teeth and walked into the house right behind him. "You know the drill lex my house is yours and you know where everything is." He walked up the stairs and got ready for bed.

Ugh he thinks he can just run me and tell me what to do as if I'm five years old. I'm not his girlfriend anymore he doesn't know what's best for me and I'm happy with who I am and what I do. I walked into the kitchen and poured some water and went up stairs to the guest room. I sat at the edge of the bed and slipped off my heels and let down my hair while looking over at the clock. "Damn it's 3:30am" I slipped off my dress and went into the shower and went to bed. It felt like forever before I could fall asleep. Everything bry said kept replaying in my head.
*11:30 am*
I rolled over gripping the sheets closer to my chest as I squinted over at the clock. I laid there for about five more minutes before getting up and slipping on the t-shirt that was left on the chair. I walked into Bryans room and no one was in there, so I made my way into the kitchen where a note
was left with my name on it. I scratched my head as I picked up the note and unfolded it.

-hey lexy, I left for work but I didn't want to wake you up. I left some sweats, a tee and some flip flops that you left on the couch so you don't have to walk out in that dress and heels. You are welcomed to stay but I know you and I know your going to flee soon after reading this. Just please be safe alexia!
Love Bryan.
P.s the envelope next to this note is also yours. Even though we didn't have sex, I am paying for the time I had with you knowing at least for some hours that you were perfectly fine and safe and to me that is more than enough. Use this to pay your dues. I love you! -

I chuckled a little at how overwhelming and overprotective he is. I picked up the envelope and pulled out two thousand dollars in cash. I fell to my knees and cried. Bryan was was always so sweet to me and our relationship meant so much to him and I ruined all of that by stripping and prostituting, but him giving this too me shows me his heart is bigger than the Pacific Ocean.

Meet everyone:
