paige
I woke up the next mornig refreshed I walked downstairs and their was no sign of benard
I quickly got up and started getting dressed even tho I don't have to go to work for another 2 hours
I finished getting ready 10 minutes later a headed for the door just as I was about to grab the door I heard keys on the porch so I quickly ran to the back door and walked around to the front but I couldn't get my car because Benards car was blocking my car from getting out
I started walking up the street so I could call a cab there's no way in the world I'm about to risk getting caught
After about 20 minutes of waiting the cab had arrived I decided to go get breakfast at this fancy breakfast bar which is right next to the nail place
If I eat in 30 minutes I can have an hour to get my nails done then about 30 minutes to get to work perfect
I can't remember a the last time I treated myself
I remember when I first met Benard those were the sweet days
I was at the mall in the Gucci store getting myself a new dress for a wedding I had to attend
When I went to the register to ring all my stuff up a fine darks skinned man slapped his black card down
"Um excuse me but I can handle myself"
"Charge it to the card" he said without acknowledging what I just said
The cashier gave me my bag and told me to have a great day
" I'm Benard , and you are " he said holding his had out to me "
" Highly upset" I said to him crossing my arms
" I'm sorry ma'am I just saw a beautiful lady and got beside myself he said starting to walk away
"Wait" I said as he turned back around
"I'm Paige "
That's we're it all started he was great for a while but after his mother died he hasn't been the same
"Ma'am " the cab driver said pulling me out of my thoughts
" Oh I'm sorry " I said as I handed him a 50
"Keep the change"
" Thanks" he said with a smile as I shut the door
As soon as I walked into Omelet cafe I wanted to walk back out
"Paige?"
"Hey Jermaine"
" Come sit with us?" he asked with a smile
I went and sat at the table with jermaine and his people
" Hey everybody " I said trying not to be so awkward
" Paige can I talk to you in private for a minute "
" Sure"
We got up and went outside the restaurant
" Paige listen , I'm sorry for what happened the last time we met up I didn't know-"
"It's fine"
" Why you still with him?"
"Excuse me?!"
" I mean we can all see you gotta abusive man
Your scared to be home late and you have bruises all down your arms "
" How'd you-"
"White shirt"
I just stayed looking at the ground
He lifted my chin up
" You have to leave"
