His Charm

O N E

"Vanessa get the fuck down here, now !" I heard the sound of my boyfriends loud voice
"I'm coming, I'm coming sorry baby I couldn't find the keys to my car" I said out of breath from running down the stairs in a hurry.
"That's cause I got them, I'm going out with the boys while you at work and we need the car"
"But I don't get off of work until 10:30 Jordan, I can't walk at night. Can you please go after I get off" I said rubbing his chest
"Did I say that we was going while you were at work or after ?" He questioned
"After" I said blankly
"Okay then, plus don't nobody want you. They know you my bitch" he said
"Mhm, are you taking me to work? I have to be there in 45 mins"

"No you can walk or catch the train or something"
"If I do that I'm going to be late. It's takes a hour to get there on the train. Plus I can't be late I was late three times this month already" I said with slick attitude
"Who the fuck you getting smart with, huh" he said getting up and grabbing me
"Nobody, I was just saying I can't be late again, my boss orders"
"So you calling me a nobody" he said. I felt his warm hand go across my face
"No I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that" I said trying to move from his grip
"You never mean it like that dumb bitch. Go wipe the blood from you lip so you can catch this train" he said taking a sip of henny
I do as I'm told and go to the bathroom. I could see where he hit me at, it's not as bad as it usually be so I'm happy I don't have to put any make up on. I heard a loud bang on the door then it swung open causing me to jump
"Bitch didn't I say hurry up" he said as he came in the bathroom and grabbed me by my neck pulling me out side
"Don't miss that fucking train" he said while throwing me my purse and phone.
It was about a 10-15 min walk from my house to the train and I had no clue when it was coming so I know I had to get a move on. I've been walking for about 9 mins when I passed by a store and decided to get something in there to eat for lunch since I don't have my car. I got a bowel of noddles, a pineapple Fanta, some tropical skittles and a water. I got in line to pay for my stuff
"Next" the man at the counter said
I put my stuff on the counter and reach to get my wallet
"I got this" a male voice from behind me said "And let me get 2 packs of backwoods"
"Thank you but no thank you, I can pay for it myself" I said giving the man a 10 dollar bill
"No I insist, beautiful ladies shouldn't have to pay for anything" he said smiling
"Thank you" I  said smiling
"It'll be $27.95" the man said
He gave the money & we both grabbed our stuff
"You got a man" he said as we walked out the store
"Yea and a train to catch so I gotta go" I said trying to walk away
"Lemme get your number maybe we can be friends" he said licking his lips
"Sorry can't have friends" I said walking away "Maybe one day"
I finally make it to work and I'm only 12 minutes late
"Hey Shonda I am so sorry about me being late" I said clocking in
"You know what I said about being late this is you thir- what happened to your face" she said walking up to me
"Oh nothing I bumped into a wall thats all" I said trying to hurry away before she can get a good look
"More like a hand, he hitting you again" she questioned
"It was my fault, I got snappy and he was drinking that's all"
"And where is your car, I seen you walking from the way the train is. He made you walk here." She asked
"No the cars in the shop" I said lying again. She didn't say anything, she just stared at me
"What ? It's in the shop" I said putting my name tag on. She was still staring
"Fine, he's using it to go out with his friends" I said sighing
"How you getting home tonight, he picking you up right ?"
"No the same way I got here is how I'm gonna get home" I said
"But your closing the shop up, you gonna walk at night" she asked "I can come back and get you if you want"
"No it's fine honestly, I'll make it" I said
