Drugged

Drugged Part 19

*Justin's POV*

As my eyes flickered open the next morning,  a smile was forced to form on my face at the sight I was seeing. My beautiful girlfriend curled up in my arms. I rubbed her soft hair and kissed her forhead.

I rubbed the side of her face, observing the purple-black bruise on her cheek. My skin crawled. I couldn't believe I let this happen to her. I should have checked up on her to make sure she was okay. Especially since Tyler was there.

I sighed and ran my thumb across her cheek once more. Her eye twitched and her body shifted. She squinted her eyes open, almost blinded by the light shining through the window. I looked into her eyes as she attempted to smile at me. She moaned at the pain and put her hand over her cheek.

"Mmm baby?" She whispered.

I rubbed her lower back. "Yes, honey?"

"My cheek." She said quietly. "Do you have any ointment or something?"

She sat up halfway and propped herself up on her elbows.

"Yeah, I'm sure I do." I got up and went into my bathroom. I checked the medicine cabinet and pulled out an ointment for her face. I went back in the room.

I sat on the edge of the bed. "Come here."

She did as I told and sat on my lap facing me.

"My poor baby just keeps getting hurt." I said in a sigh.

She giggled. "I'm a tough girl."

I squirted the cream on my finger and began rubbing it on her cheek. "You sure are."

She closed her eyed tightly as I rubbed her throbbing skin.

"I see your forehead has gotten better." I said referring to when she fell on her head.

"Is it?" She wrapped her arms around my neck and looked into my eyes as I finished applying the cream.

"Looks fine. Just a little scar." I kissed her plump lips, earning a cute little chuckle.

"Thank you."

I rubbed my nose against hers. "You're welcome, baby."

"Justin, I want to do something today." She laid her head down on my shoulder.

"Okay, honey. I can take you out later tonight. Is that alright?"

"Mhm.."

*Stephanie's POV*

I lied down on Justin's shoulder and almost fell asleep again. He made me feel so good. My eyes began to close and he laid on his back so that I was lying on his chest. He rubbed my back.

"You must be sleepy. You aren't talking too much." He giggled.

I talked slowly. "Just a little."

He put his hands under my shirt and rubbed my lower back, reaching my butt a few times. It felt so good. I felt his hands rub across my scar a few times but it didn't hurt too much.

"Aww baby, you sound so tired. You should get some rest."

I sighed and rolled over, lying my head down on a pillow. I closed my eyes.  "Just a little nap."

I felt his lips touch my hand. "Get some sleep, baby girl."

I was drifting off to sleep for about 30 seconds when I heard knocks on the door downstairs.

I grunted in irritation and got up.

"I got it, Steph. Lay back down."

I threw on some shorts under the T shirt that I have been wearing. "Its okay..I'll get it. I'm already up now."

I walked down the stairs with Justin trailing behind me. I scratched my head and opened the door. I was shocked at who I saw.

"Uh h-hi." I said nervously.

"Hey, Steph."

It was my dad. I was happy to see him but also scared. I stood as close to Justin as possible.

"What are you doing here? How'd you know where his house was?"

He stuttered. "Holly. I asked Holly where he lived."

I was silent. I didn't know what to say. "Uh.."

He interrupted. "I know that you probably really dont know what to say right now but I had to see your face just once more because I don't know when you'll come home. You're my baby and I don't want to lose you."

My eyes filled with tears.

"But anyways, I also came here because I have something for you." His face expression changed into a slight smile. "Come outside. Justin, will you cover her eyes?"

He placed his hands on my eyes and led me out the door. I felt a humid breeze hit my skin.

"Okay. On a count of three, you can let her look." My dad said.

"One...two...three!"

His hands left my face and I opened my eyes. My jaw dropped and I wanted to scream.

"OH MY GOD! I must be dreaming!" I said, shocked.

Parked on the curb in front of me was a brand new black range rover. The truck was squeeky clean and it was very beautiful. It had a big red ribbon on the top of it.

"Thank you, daddy!!" I ran into his arms and hugged him tightly.

"You're welcome. You're growing up now and you'll be 18 very soon."

He reminded me of my birthday which would be here in a few weeks.

"Aww thanks dad! I love you." I said as I climbed off of him.

"One more thing." He dug in his pocket and took out some cash. A few hundreds. "Take it."

I shook my head. "On no, I can't take that."

He put it in my hand. "Yes, you can. Have it. You'll need it. Trust me."

He handed me the money and I hugged him once more. "Thank you, dad. For everything."

He let go and nodded. "Well, I got to get going. I will see you later. I love you and take care of yourself."

"I will." I said as he walked away. "I love you too."

I turned around and walked back inside with Justin. We closed the door and I laid down on my back on the couch. I counted up $1,300 dollars all in hundreds. I sighed and tucked the money away in my pocket. Justin came and laid with me. He put his body in between my legs so that he was lying on his stomach and his head was resting on my chest.

"You have an amazing father, Stephanie." He told me.

"Yeah. Thanks." I played with his hair, wrapping it around my fingers.

"Stephanie, are you comfortable being here with me?" He asked sadly.

"Of course. There's no place I'd rather be than here with you."

He looked up at me. "If there's ever anything you're not comfortable with, you let me know."

"I will. I swear."

"Pinky promise?" He grinned.

I locked our fingers. "Pinky promise."
