Keira's Life

Keira: Chapter 5

I closed the front door behind me satisfied that I had been to visit Rhianne in hospital, she looked so weak it was killing me inside to see her like that. But, I was satisfied because I'd had some of my blood taken to be tested. I was expecting the results in a few days so I just had to wait until then, my auntie was finally relieved to see me and she was okay with me staying with 'Sarah'. I couldn't tell her I was staying with a boy, she'd kill me. I didn't want to tell her the real reason and she said that Trevor was still in hospital, he had serious head injuries. I was praying that he would die. Cruel as it may seem, he'd ruined my life. I'd had so many sleepless nights and he'd turned me insane, crazy. I knew I wasn't completetly sane and it was ALL his fault. A fourteen year old shouldn't have to deal with this, her own blood uncle raping her? What kind of sick thoughts ran through his head? I just didn't understand how he could sleep at night. It was like now 8pm and Tiana was staying at her friends and Ricardo told me earlier his mum wouldn't be back for a few days. So I guess it was just me and him. I took my shoes off and hung my jacket up. I opened the living room door and the whole room was lit by candles, my mouth opened slightly and Ricardo cleared his throat. I saw a dinner waiting for two people at the table and I smiled.

'Ricardo...' He stepped closer to me and pressed his finger against my lips.

'Shh, I'm trying to do the right thing. I felt bad for what I said the other day, I didn't mean it. Keira I really like you, like bare like you and that.' I laughed lightly and he frowned.

'What?' He said.

'That's the most retarded way I've heard someone say they like me.' He looked towards the floor embarrassed and I giggled.

'Low me, I don't normally do this you know.' He said and I lifted his chin and softly pressed my lips onto his he placed his hands on my waist and I pulled away and rested my forehead onto his.

'This is so sweet of you, I've never had anyone do this.' I said and he pulled out my chair for me, I sat down and he sat down too.

'Yeah... I normally find this kinda gay but I tried for you.'

'N'aww Ricardo!' He started laughing and I smiled and we started eating, it was so obviously chinese take-away but I'm not complaining. He made an effort and that's all that matters :) We finished eating and he washed up and we started watching The Unborn. I hate scary films but he wanted to watch it, I kept my face in his chest the whole time and I could hear his deep laugh.

'Keira stop being a baby man.'

'I don't care I hate scary films.' I said and he pulled me onto his lap.

'Alright then you baby, I got a game we can play.'

'Oh okay, what?'

'Twister.' I started laughing hard and he laughed too.

'Nah I'm joking babes.'

'Okay, well I'm gonna go run a bath.' I said standing up, he pulled me down onto the sofa and stood up himself.

'What the hell?'

'I'm gonna run you one, a big one. Just go take your stuff off, and I'll join you in like two minutes.' He said and licked his lips, I laughed and rolled my eyes. He went to run the bath and I sat down on the edge of the bed in my towel and he came back in the room a while later and stood by the door frame. I looked up and he had a glass of water and two pills in his hand. I stood up and took them and swallowed some of the water to help it go down with ease. He kissed my forehead and took the glass out of my hand.

'Go have a long bath,'

'Thank you Rics.' He winked and I went to have my bath, I got in and stayed there. You know them really long, warm, relaxing baths? Yeah it was one of them and I really didn't want to come out. I got out after a while and got dried, creamed and changed into my night dress. I went back into the bedroom tying my hair into a ponytail and saw Ricardo sitting on the bed topless. I tried to look around the room because I really didn't want my eyes to stay focused there. I heard him laugh and I looked back at him.
