The Escort.

Chapter Twenty-Two

Chapter Twenty-two

It was finally Monday and I was on my way to class, I was tired and sore still and it didnt help that we were so busy today at the diner. Patty seemed suspicious about me while working since I was grunting sometimes doing things. I just blew her off and didnt want her to worry or worse to tell me to go to the police about it. I already blocked his number and deleted my account on escort until I needed to make a new one and have him blocked on it.

I went to the bathroom before going to class so I could touch up on my cover up, since I sweated most of the time and it looked runny. Exiting and going towards class I take a seat in the back and wait for the teacher to start the lesson.

Class was halfway through when I kept getting a pair of eyes on me and turned to see Alex looking at me with a thoughtful look. I didnt see him since the party and hopefully he wasnt mad that I didnt text him back this weekend, I forgot to text him back since I got distracted with Myrcella. Turning back to the teacher that said he was going to put a small clip on and asked one of the students to turn off the lights.

Five minutes into the clip Alex gets his things and starts to come towards me crouching. It was kind of funny to see a tall guy crouch and not be in the way of the students or the teacher ask what he was doing. But due to no lights on he trips over a bag that was sitting on the floor and his drink comes towards me. All I felt was wetness drip down my face and when I opened my eyes after getting some of the water out of them I look at Alex that has a shocked face on. Giving him a confused look at first and looking down at my hands I noticed my makeup is ruined and if anyone looked at me they would see the bruise.

Picking up my stuff and bolting for the door and not turning around for anything I walk down the hallway in a rush to get to the nearest bathroom. Getting some paper towels and drying my face off and some of the makeup off, I hear my phone ring. Getting it out of my bag and seeing that it's Patty I quickly answer.

"Hello." I say as I throw away the garbage and look through my bag for my makeup.

"Hey sweetie, didnt think you answer since your suppose to be in class." She says with her mom tone, like she caught me doing something I'm not suppose to be doing.

"I'm in the bathroom."

"Oh, well I'll make it quick, I'm making sloppy joes tonight and wanted to know if you wanted some put in your fridge for later." She said, the door opened to reveal Alex and he looked at me with so much anger I didnt know what to do.

"Sure, I gotta go." I said and hung up before she could say anything and set my phone on the sink.

"What are you doing in here?" I asked Alex, as he stepped closer to me. He lifted up his hand and I flinched away, scared he would hit me. Noticing he wasnt going to hit me I look up to him and see his eyes soften.

"Who did this?" He asked and I shook my head. I wanted to tell him but I couldnt, I was to scared for Malcomb to come hunt me down and kill me. I needed to keep Myrcella safe and myself.

"Iris tell me who did this." He said again through gritted teeth.

"It's none of your buisness Alex, besides why would you care?" I bite back and he shakes his head.

"I just dont want people thinking I abuse my girlfriend is all." My heart twisted at that for some odd reason and I shook my head. "Well dont worry okay, if people ask just tell them I fell down stairs doing laundry. I gotta go." I said and picked up my bag and walked around him and left.

I got on the subway and noticed some people looking at me funny and when I saw my reflection I cursed at myself and Alex. I didnt put makeup on and I needed to put some on before I went to Patty's. Once the subway stopped and it was my stop, I hurried to the bathrooms and got my makeup and covered up the bruise.

Knocking on Patty's door, Jorge answered and let me in. Kissing him on the cheek and going to the kitchen to see Patty helping Myrcella with homework.

"Hey your out early." Patty said when she noticed me and continued to help Myrcella. Walking over to the table I kiss Myrcella's head and sit down.

"Yeah got out a little early." I said.

"Oh sorry I dont have anymore sloppy joes. Jorge and this little one ate them all." She said, giving Myrcella a tickle to the side.

"It's alright, you still have the Chinese menu from a couple blocks?" I asked and she pointed by her home phone. Looking at it and seeing what I would like, I grab her phone and dial it since it was near me. The guy told me it be about twenty minutes for them to deliver, which was fine by me. Telling Myrcella to get ready to go, I got her bag and coat. We headed up the stairs after saying goodbye and giving kisses.

I got in the shower and told Myrcella to watch her cartoons and tell me if she hears a knock on the door. After showering and changing into some short shorts and baggy white shirt, I took the towel and dried my hair more with it. I already put concealer on to cover up the bruise so Myrcella wouldnt see it and get freaked out or tell Patty about it. Going to the living room to see Myrcella changed into pjs and watching SpongeBob I hear a knock on the door. Going to my purse to grab some money out and telling Myrcella I'll be back in a minute and she can have one of the sugary donuts tonight and then the rest tomorrow morning she said okay.

Opening the door and seeing Alex there I was shocked. I closed the door on his face and my breathing quickened, I must be dreaming for him to be here. I pinched myself and opened the door again when he knocked on it again.

"What are you doing here?!" I said to loudly and cracked the door for him to only see a little.

"Um, well you left your phone in the bathroom at school and it was ringing. So I asked the sectary if I could have your address to give it back to you." He said and gave me my phone, I looked in his other hand and noticed a Chinese bag. Looking at him more confused and pointing to the bag, he gave me a sheepish smile.

"I ran into him and paid for it. To apologize for my behavior earlier. I shouldnt of said what I said an.." He was cut off by Myrcella squeezing her way between my legs and the door.

"Mommy what's taking so long. I want my donut." She said opening the door wider. I wanted to faint or just grab Myrcella and run away. Alex looked down at Myrcella with a confused look and then shock once he looked at me. I didnt want to explain anything to him, so I told Myrcella it be a minute and to go watch her cartoons and I promised her two donuts.

Grabbing the bag and telling him thanks I started to shut the door, but Alex's foot was in the way when I was about to shut it. "Why didnt you tell me?" He asked and I felt anger for him thinking he should know about this.

"Because why would you care if I had a daughter? Its none of your buisness anyway Alex, this is just a contract relationship. Goodbye." I pushed him by surprised and closed the door, locking it. It still pissed me off that he was pretending to care and now that he knew I had a daughter things were going to get complicated.
