Rescuing Atticus

Just another lie to tell

Song: Peace of mind- Villian of the story

We don't talk at all on the ride to the airport. Once on the plane I can't get it off my mind why he was there. I thought he was giving me time to do this all on my own. I carefully ask him, "Why were you there? I mean how in the hell did you even know where I was?" I don't want to ask too many questions because I know he hates it but I have to know why.

He smirks and takes a sip from his glass. He waits for it to go down before responding. He even clears his throat. "We arrived late last night for a quick job. I had Ashton check on you. Today we were out and about and I'm sorry for following you to the Opera House. However I saw the look in your eye. I know that look. Believe me...I know. That look that you are right on the edge of killing someone."

He has no reason to lie to me. So I truly believe that he was back on a job but I still don't know he had the audacity to follow me like I can't take care of my damn self. I don't argue about any of it though, instead I talk about her. "I can't get over the fact that she was fucking that guy and keeping it from me."

"Yeah...well...some women are like that."

I take another swig of my drink and let it burn going down. "It would have never worked between us...would it? I mean...she saw me take his life in seconds and I'm pretty sure she knew I killed her brother and his friends by the look she gave me. She would have never forgiven me." I finish off the glass and get up to pour myself another one.

"Probably not son...not many women will ever be able to live with what we do. It was better off this way."

"Yeah...you right." I raise the second glass to my lips and drink it down in one gulp. I lean my head back on the headrest and close my eyes. I think of her and only her. Her sweet red lips with just the right amount of gloss added. Her fucking eyes that would melt my heart every time that I would glare into them. God her touch alone would make me go hard in seconds and I still have her fucking scent on me. I so needed to take a shower as soon as we get back home. I vow to myself to never ever fall in love with anyone ever again.

This hurts too much, all I feel is my heart cracking in a million pieces while thinking of that last second. Those last few minutes she knew she was going to die...and I had everything to do with it. I couldn't stop him even if I wanted too.

We arrive home late and while they go into the main part of the house, I head to my room in the guest part of the house. I strip out of my clothes and jump into the hot shower. When I get out, I roll up my clothes and set them on fire along with anything that reminds me of her with her scent. I got to get her out of my head for good. It doesn't take long before I am going back to work and headed to the strip joint...not long before I fuck another girl just to get her completely out of my system. I hate doing it this way but he is right the quicker I move on the better. I place every memory of her in the farthest part of my mind and lock it down for safe keeping.

She was out of my mind...or so I thought but she quickly returned when I walked into the corner store and bump into a spitting image of her. Her mom notices me right off and practically jumps in my arms. "Atticus...it's been too long. Have you talked to Sara lately? I hate her moving so far away. It's so hard being a mom."

"Actually I haven't seen her since she left ma'am. I hope she has been doing well."

She tries to smile politely back at me.  "Does she call you often?"

"No ma'am...I figured she had a lot going on with school and all. So how is everything going with you?"

"We are doing ok. You know Tony has been missing for awhile now. No one can find him. Police believe that he got a wild hair up his behind and left with his friends. He refuses to call us to let us know where he is. I guess he doesn't need our help anymore." A small tear silent flows along her cheek and she wipes it away with the edge of her fingers. "You wouldn't happen to know anything would you by any chance."

Why does everyone think I should know something...especially about that dick head. "No...I wish I could help but Tony and I didn't really get along." I try to keep moving along to let her know that I really don't have time to sit and chat with her.

"Oh...well...it's ok I understand. I will have to tell Sara that I bumped into you she will be so excited." She tries so hard to smile back at me again.

"Yeah...you do that. Look I got to be going; it was nice to see you."

She reaches over and hugs me again. "Same to you."

I hate lying to her. Poor woman if she only knew that I killed her son and then watched her daughter die she would hate me. She would probably kill me with her own bare hands and the sad thing is...is that I wouldn't blame her. I quickly get out of the store and head down to the strip joint.

I am on my own but the guys all know me here and don't even bother looking at my ID. I get a beer and sit close to the stage. The cute little blonde dances on the stage right in front of me. When she gets down on her knees and twist and bounce her little waist with her over sized breast...I place a twenty in her g-string. I motion for another girl to come over and give me a lap dance. I let her sit on me and rub me in all the right places. She so close that I can smell the coconut cream all over her silky smooth skin and that fucking scent brings back memories of Sara. When she leans into me, I whisper in her ear. "You want to take this in the back."

She slowly gets off of me and takes my hand. I let her lead me to one of the back rooms and once there I start taking off my clothes. She lets me touch her. I grab a breast and bring it towards my mouth and suck hard till it perks and reddens the way I like it. Then I guide her down between my legs. I rub her cheek and she slowly opens her mouth with a wicked smile. She takes me...all of me to the far part of her throat and she sucks the life out of me as I hold her down forcing her to go deeper. I pull myself out and pick her up, placing her legs around me. I guide her body on top of me and then turn her around pushing her up against the wall. Her hands pull on my hair as she wraps her body around mine. She screams of pure joy as I ram into her until I can't go any longer. "Fuck Sara..."

She narrows her eyes and glares at me. "Who is Sara...I'm Lori."

I just smirk back at her...yeah...you right you are nothing like my Sara. I hand her a hundred and walk out the door without saying anything.

I go back into the main room and I see a group of guys at one of the tables. The one looks up and gestures for me to join them. I see that it is a guy that I saw back when I was in school. He reaches across the table and holds out his hand to shake mine. "Hey man...I haven't seen you in years...what the hell have you been up to?"

"Not much Kwan...it's been a long time man."

"Yeah...I just got back home...come sit with us, have a beer on me."I take the offer and sit down with him and his friends. We shoot the bull and drink a few more rounds. When they get ready to leave he asks if I want to tag along with them.I get out my phone and text Zane to let him know that I will be home later than planned.
