I can't stop looking at her body, fuck I want her, but I have to watch this fucker all over her instead. As I sit at the bar, nursing my whiskey, I can't take my eyes away from her as she flutters her eyelashes and shakes her ass for this idiot, who is completely falling for it. It's taking all of my control not to walk across the bar, pick her up and drag her back to the motel room to fuck her.
So when that idiot wouldn't let her walk I had to step in. When I got her in that truck and I could smell her scent I had to get her on me. Hearing my real name roll off her lips as she came, fuck that was all I needed to finish myself. I wanted to take her back to the motel first, but she didn't seem to care if anyone saw.
We arrived back at the motel and she walked off into the bathroom, I check my phone to see more messages from Circuit trying to figure out which Scarlett is my Scarlett. I don't bother replying, all I can think of is getting Scarlett in this bed. I strip down to my boxers and climb under the sheets just as she steps out in her tshirt and panties, she grabs my hoodie and gets onto the couch
"What are you doing?" I ask as I sit up in bed
"Going to sleep what does it look like?" She replies
"We just had sex I think we can share a bed." I say pulling the sheets back but she ignores me and lies down, covering herself with my hoodie
"Fine, you asked for it." I say as I jump from the bed and quickly close the gap to the couch. I pick her up and ignore her protests as I drop her on the bed. I climb in beside her but before I can pull her body against mine she begins fighting me
"Don't fucking touch me." She shouts as she fights to get out. Suddenly I realise she isn't playing and I see a tear roll down her cheek as she stands from the bed
"You take the bed I take the couch, that's the deal Knuckles." She says harshly, turning away from me
"What the fuck? So you'll fuck me in the ladies room, you'll fuck me in my truck outside of a busy bar, but you won't lie in bed with me? What the fuck is that Scarlett?" I say standing behind her, but she refuses to turn and look at me.
"Are you just using me like these assholes you hustle pool with?" I shout as I turn her to face me, but when I see the look in her eyes, the fear and the tears on her cheeks I realise this is something different.
"What the hell is going on Scarlett? You're not afraid of me?" I question, but she only shakes her head
"Just go to sleep Knuckles, you'll be home tomorrow, I'll be back on the road and I won't be your problem anymore." She says trying to step around me but I don't let her, instead I pull her against me and wrap my arms around her
"I care about you Scarlett, just let me help, tell me what the hell is going on." I plead. She doesn't respond and we just stand there, me holding her against me for a while. I look down at her and wipe her tears away with my thumb
"You have to tell me what I did wrong." I say as she finally looks up at me
"It's not you it's me, it's Alec, I... it's too complicated. It's such a mess I wouldn't even know where to begin explaining." She says as she steps back away from me.
"Why won't you lie in bed with me? Is it something I've done?" I ask as I sit on the bed, she begins pacing and chewing on her nails, clearly having some sort of internal battle
"I can't let you in on this Knuckles, you could get more hurt than that gunshot wound you already have." She says, still pacing in front of me
"That's a risk I'm willing to take." I reply and she stops
"Alec, he's not actually my ex boyfriend, he was never my boyfriend in the first place. I thought he was like an older brother, I thought he was a friend, some one I could confide in and someone safe. He isn't and he never was." She says as she stands in front of me
"What was the name of the Scarlett he found that Circuit thought was too young to be me?" She asks and I pull my phone from my pocket and send a message to Circuit asking for details. Within a few seconds he sends me it all
"Scarlett Wilson, 18, from Brooklyn. Father killed in Iraq 2013, sister Jessica, deceased, mother Abigail deceased and brother Michael presumed KIA Afghanistan. No high school graduation, no other information on her." I read out all Circuit had
"That's me." She says as she begins pacing again
"You're only 18 years old?" I question as I stand up and she nods
"After my dad died my mom and my sister fell into drugs. They always did everything together while I was more into working on cars with dad and Mike. When the money ran out Jessica started fucking her dealer for drugs. My brother tried to help, tried to get them into rehab but they were in too deep. Turns out my sisters dealer hadn't been paying his boss for the drugs he was giving her for sex. That's when he turned up at my front door, Aleksandr Mikhailov, he said from the moment he saw me he was captured by me." She smirks
"He agreed Jessica and my mom could keep getting the drugs but Jess had to start working at his strip club, which she was fine with because she loved dancing anyway. He kept turning up at the house, he became a friend, then Mike got deployed. He didn't want to leave me behind with that mess but he had no choice. Alec started taking me to school and picking me up. One night my Mom and I had a huge fight and she kicked me out, I had no where to go so I called Alec, he let me stay at his apartment and soon it became a regular thing. My mom and I would fight and I would call Alec, he would pick me up and I would stay with him. I felt safe with Alec." She shakes her head as she stares at the floor
"In a way he replaced Mike, he was like an older brother. Only he didn't see it that way and started pursuing me. I tried to avoid him but he would always find me. He used to make me go to the strip club with him and watch the girls dance, said I should work for him like my sister. Then just before my 17th birthday we got word that the helicopter my brother was in went down and everyone onboard was presumed dead." I see tears forming in her eyes, but she holds them back.
"It hit us all hard after losing my dad to war as well. Jess couldn't take it and overdosed. My mom freaked out because she didn't know how she would keep getting her fix now Jess wasn't paying their dealer with sex. Alec said he would look after everything and just wanted me happy. Why I believed that I don't know. On my birthday he took me to dinner and tried to kiss me when he took me home. I said no and ran into the house, I watched him drive off and I thought that was the end of it. I woke up in the middle of the night to Alec on top of me." She fights back a sob and I try to reach out to her but she holds her hand out to stop me.
"He raped me and afterwards he said I was only his, that he had ruined me for other men by taking my innocence and I belonged to him now. I tried to tell my mom but she thought it was great that Alec wanted me, that I could help keep the drugs flowing to her veins."
"So the next day I packed a bag and I ran. I never looked back. I don't know if Alec killed my Mom or if the drugs took her too but I can't go back and find out. You have to understand Knuckles, Alec is the head of the Russian Mafia for all of New York, he keeps finding me because he is so well connected, if he finds out anyone is helping me or that I even have a friend out there he will use them to get me back. I can't risk you getting hurt, he's already seen you once, if he sees you with me again he will know. You can't help me, I just need to keep moving, I like my life this way, the freedom, I've made it this long I can keep going." She says with determination
"I don't give a fuck who this guy is, I'm not going to just watch you ride off into the sunset not knowing if you're dead or alive. I'm going to help you Scarlett, because I care about you." I say as I pull her to me again, I wrap my arms around her and kiss the top of her head
"Now, you're taking the bed and I'll take the couch. You're safe with me Scarlett, trust me." I say as I guide her to sit on the bed. I can see the uncertainty in her eyes, but I need her to trust me so I can help her. I move over to the couch and lie down.
"Goodnight Scarlett."
"Goodnight Caleb."
