Arranged And Outraged

World around me

I laugh and say," Where do we have to go?"
He says," We got to record then meetings then dinners for a gala for your parents ."
I sigh and say," So I have to wear a dress. Ugh. I am so glad they choose you and not one of those snobby guys from the gala."
He smiles and says," well I appreciate that. I am glad to."
I smile and say," I am going to change. I wish you luck hanging out with my parents."
I walk in to the closet looking at the ripped Jean's and slit up the sides band shirt. I change my pants looking at the shirt and see Escape the fate. What was his band name? I put the undershirt and shirt off. Craig knocks and says," Are you ready baby?"
I dont answer to seconds later feeling his hands on my waist. He kisses my shoulder . He whispers," You look beautiful."
I grab his hand pulling down him down the stairs. We locked the door hand and guy walks up in a hood. I say," Craig."
The guy walks up whistling and says," hey sweetheart."
Craig pushes me behind him and says," Who the fuck are you?"
He comes face to face with Craig and punches him the stomach and says," Stephen wants his money. Dont fuck around Mabbitt." I scream as Craig hits the floor and this man kicks him in the stomach. I shove the guy away from just quick enough to see a car pull up and the guy ran in to. Its black suburban. I help Craig up just in time for him to chase after the van. I yell," Craig stop." Craig hits the back of the van before it speeds off. He stops coughing violently. I run to him and say," Are you ok? What the fuck was that?"
He says," I cant do this. You cant be put in danger like this."
I help in to the house and say," Do you need me to call the police?"
He says," you cant. I am fine I am sorry that happened."
I am shaking and say," what do you mean? They kicked you in ribs. Why didnt you fight back?"
Craig says," I cant . I couldn't risk you getting hurt."
I grab his shirt making him wince. I pull it up his shirt see the bruises .  I look in to his wounded eyes and say," Who was that Craig? What does he want ?"
Craig says," he wants money. I deal with him. I'll get him the money. I just forgot I have been so consumed with you. The label . My daughter." He groans in pain and grabs his keys. He wires money through the phone as he opens his driver door. A text pops up and he hides the phone quickly. I say," can you drive ?"
Craig winces and drives out of the driveway heading to the studio. We pull up at 1:54. He unbuckled himself and says," we are late." I follow him as he locks the car. Max is down in the lobby and says," Craig where have you been ?"
Craig says," I had business to attend to." I go to say something and Craig puts his finger over my mouth. I look forward to along day of sitting there and watching them record . I find a fun puzzle game on my phone to keep me business. I mean we have been here for what 5 hours now. Craig says in to the microphone," Tori." I mouth," Yes." He says," I got one more meeting today. Do you want to hang with max?"  I mouth sure scrolling through my newsfeed."
Just then his manager wants in and says," Hey sweetheart." I smile and politely say," Hi."  The boys come out of the studio and the man says," We want to do an tour around the states. " Craig pulls me in to and says," That's sounds good." The guy goes on for twenty mins explaining all the ticket prices and things. Craig agrees along with the rest of the band. Craig whispers," That's the one. I want to take you some where."
I grab his hand and he makes the exit. He says," I got to leave." The manager says," ok. But you need to be in contact with me."
He nodded and pull me in to the hallway. He pulls me to the car still in a little bit of pain. He pulls up in to a abandon cliff. I look at him questionably and say," You are not gonna kill me right ?"
He laughs shutting off the car and says," Dont be ridiculous.  You think I would do that."
I laugh and say," I dont know anything about you." He gets out the car making me follow to a blanket with Rose's in the middle and a basket full of food. I look in awe. He says," the thing is I am really into you. These past months getting know you has been amazing.  How comfortable you are with my daughter . Everything about you just makes me feel nevermind." We both sit down next to each other loving the view. I open the basket seeing Chinese food and plates and glasses of wine . I pull out the food as he sets the plates . He pours us wine. I say," the view is beautiful."
He smiles at me and says," it is."
I laugh seeing him staring at me
We drink the wine and start eating . He smiles and says," I wish we could stay up here. Life would be simpler."I cuddle into him and say," yes it would be . Let's take a picture."
He pulls out his phone on selfie mode and snaps a picture of smiling then pulls me in to a kiss letting the camera go off again. He drops the phone letting his hands grab my waist . I smile and say," Craig?" He moans," hmm?" I say," Dont we have things to do?"
Craig says," Who cares. I just want to be here with you." He picks up his phone and calls his manager. He says," I am still in pain. I would like to call a raincheck." After like 5 calls he said he was free from everything. I smile pulling him in to another kiss. He leans and deepens it. He says," we better get going. I got some business to get done and we got that thing with your parents tonight." I pull him back in to a kiss. He breaks the kiss to kiss my neck. He whispers," baby we got to go."
I laugh and say," you don't have some weird business today do you?"
