I read her like a book. She was very beautiful. Before I went behind her l grabbed her food then ran outside then knocked on her car door.

She looked up at me with red puffy eyes. "Can I sit in with you?" I asked.

She unlocked the door to the passenger seat. I went around the car and opened the door and got in.

We sat in silence for a while before I spoke up.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to do that,"

"It's okay. I'm just tryna find out how you read me like a book so quickly,"

"I just know how to and you had pain in your eyes. I don't know why but I just wanna take it out," I said.

"Ok Mr. Smooth." She said and we both chuckled.

"But for real though, I do want to. Can I?"

"I have a lot going on right now. I'm still married. I really can't right now. I appreciate the efforts but I'm still off the market," She said and I sighed.

Well I'll start slow then.

"Can we be friends?"

She chuckled. "Of course cause it seems like you can't take no for an answer. You could be my boy best friend," She said smiling. I forgot I had her food in my hand, so I gave it to her and started to eat mine.

"Okay best friend. What you do? And your name?"

"My name is Marie and I like to do cosmology." She said, looking at me.

"What type, hair or nails?" I asked, getting a little more comfortable in my seat. Marie had the car accessories.

Like her driving wheel was pink and stuff.

"I do all of it. I do hair, nails, makeup, piercing, and spas." Marie told me.

Damn she can do all of them? That's dope

"Wow, I've met people that can master one or two. But not all of them." I said and by people I meant my sister, Jenny.

"Yea. Some people are surprised when I tell them."

"You should get your own shop," I said.

"Yea, I know. I'm in the process of getting one but for right now I'm working in a salon."

"Where you work?" I asked.

"Why?" Marie said, looking at me like I was crazy.

"Well, maybe I would like to take you out for lunch while you're on break or bring it to you."

She rolled her eyes playfully.
"I work at this shop called Ms Jenny."

I laughed, shoulda known.

"Why you laughing?" Marie asked.

"Wow. What a small world. That's my sister's shop," I smiled.

"Wait, Jenny is your sister?" She asked, looking very surprised.

"Yea. I'm surprised you don't see me in there cause I go in there often,"

"Damn." Marie said and I chuckled

"Aight I think Ima get outta here."I said, wrapping up my food.

"Wait. Can I—nevermind," She waved me off and I stopped.

"What?"

Marie sighed "I wanted your number, so I can probably see you again."

"You got it," I said.

"What you mean I got it?"

"Well. While you were talking and I was listening, I put my phone in your number. By the way, you need to put a lock on it." I said, giving her a peck on the cheek, then getting out of the car.

Marie looked shocked for a minute then she just shook her head. "Aight bet, I'm gonna see you later." She said, smiling.

I left and got into my car , I could tell this was a start to a great relation—friendship.

I looked through the window and stared at him until he pulled off. I finished my food then put my car in drive then pulled off.

I put the car in park and got out. Made sure I locked the car doors, then went towards my house.

I checked the time and it was 6:15pm.

I unlocked the key door and turned around to lock it. I was going straight towards the kitchen when his voice startled me.

"Where have you been?" James asked.

"I-I was at w-work," I stuttered, in a shaky voice.

"Yea? How come? You get off of work at 3 o'clock so tell me why it is close to 6:30 and you're just now opening the door." He said.

"I stopped to get lunch,"

"What did you order for it to be that long? I mean it's 6:30 and you had to get there around 3:00. So where THE FUCK were you?!"

I couldn't answer, if he found out where I really was he would kill me. I didn't say anything which made him mad.

"SPEAK!" He yelled, making me jump.

"I was j-just at lunch."I said, continuing to lie.

He came up to me as I backed away.

My back came in contact with the wall. He put his hand on my cheek like he was gonna kiss me. I stopped breathing. James smacked me so hard. He began to punch my body as I tried to hide from his punches.

He then started to kick me in my side. I could feel the air sucking out of my body.

As he continued to beat me I started to fade out. He smacked me and I came back. He then hit me again. It was like he was trying to kill me and revive me then do it over again.

I started to see a light and I went towards it.......
