My Abusive Thug

Chapter 2

Melanie's Pov

When we get closer to the hostess Marques tenses up.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing I'm just not in the mood for pancakes anymore. I hope you don't mind?" Says Marques

"No it's fine are you still hungry?"

"Yeah let's go eat at Friendlys." Says Marques he grabs my hand and leads me out of the restaurant.

****
When we get to Friendlys we are seated right away.

They finally send out our food. I ordered chicken quesadillas, onion rings and mozzarella sticks.

I look up and see Marques staring at me.

"What do I have something on my face?"

"No I just never seen a girl eat so much. For such a small girl you sure can eat." Says Marques

"Well a girl gotta eat right? Don't let my size fool you. When it comes to food I throw down.

"I see." Says Marques taking a sip of his sprite.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead?" Asks Marques

"Why did you ask me to lunch? Are you expecting something from me in return? If sex is what your looking for I'm not that girl. You can't just fuck and duck me."

"It's not even like that. You wanna know why I asked you out? I've been watching you for a while and I finally worked up the courage to ask you out. I know you probably don't want to hear this but your different from the other girls I've been with, usually girls throw themselves at me. They usually end up wanting me for my money and the power that I have. You have your own money and could less about what my name will do for you. I promise you I have no intention of hurting you. I just want to get to know you better." Says Marques he takes my hand into his. He starts staring into my eyes.

Oh God why did he have to do that. 😩 Now I feel bad.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to go in like that. I'm not used to a guy like you taking an interest in me."

"Don't talk like that. You're too beautiful to put yourself down like that. If anything I'm not worthy of you." Says Marques

"Let's just start over. Okay?"

"Yeah we can do that. So how come your always at your dad's car lot?" Asks Marques

"He forces me to. Trust me if it was up to me I wouldn't be there. He keeps saying how I'm supposed to take over the family business one day."

"You don't sound to happy. I wish I had a father willing to hand me down a business. My dad was never there for me. He only stayed around until I was 5. He used to beat the shit out of my mom every night. She had to walk on egg shells. I had to grow up real fast. I became the man of the house and ran the streets. I hated to see my mom struggling. So I went out and handled everything. Be lucky you have a dad that cares about you." Says Marques

"I'm sorry I had no idea. How's your mom now?"

"She's fine now." Says Marques

"Did you ever see your dad again?"

"I haven't seen or heard from him since then. I honestly could care less. He wasn't man enough to step up to his responsibilities so I did." Says Marques

I can see the hurt look in his eyes. All I want to do walk over to him and give him a hug.

"Let's talk about something else. How's your family?" Asks Marques

"My dad is the workaholic. My mom is the typical Rich housewife. She never has time for me. She's always too busy drinking, shopping and hanging with her stuck up friends. Even as a kid she never once took care of me. I spent more time with nannies than I did with her. I think she's an alcoholic to be honest. I don't understand how my dad puts up with her."

"Wow I had no idea. That would explain why she's never around. Are you guys gonna send her to rehab?" Asks Marques

"We've tried she won't go. The last time we sent her she tried to sneak out."

"Damn that's crazy. Looks like we both had a fucked up childhood." Says Marques

"You can say that again."

"I'm reall-...." Marques was cut off by his phone.

"Sorry I have to take this." Says Marques

He unlocks his phone. I listen to his conversation. I can see his facial expression change from happy to pissed off. Whoever is on that phone must have said some bad news.

A few minutes later he hangs up the phone.

"Can we finish this another time? I have something I need to handle." Says Marques

"Sure it's fine."

He pays for our food. I follow after him outside.

We both get in and he drives towards my dad's car lot.

A few minutes later we're back.

"Thanks for lunch I has a good time."

"Yeah me too. I hate to cut it short. Ima call you later okay?" Says Marques

"Alright See you later."

I was about to get out but he stops me.

"A nigga can't get a hug?" Says Marques starting to pout.

"Aww I'm sorry."

I reach over and hug him. He wraps his arms around me. It feels so good to be in his arms. I take in the smell of his cologne.

After awhile he lets go and I get out.

I wave and watch as he leaves.

I wonder what was so important that he had to cut our date short. I hope he's not about to do something stupid.
