Laila

POW POW POW!  I woke up breathing heavily out of my sleep wiping the sweat off of my forehead. I swear these dreams were never ending. I looked over at the clock and it was 9am, I had planned on sleeping later but I might as well get up and get this day started with at this point.

Walking into this place every day made me sick to my stomach. "Hey my princess" , Magic said in his gross seductive tone as he grabbed me by my waiste and smashed his lips into mine. I hated that "Princess" stuff and I hated this old nasty bastard of a man. I could taste the brown liquor on his tongue as he dug his tongue into my mouth. My stomach turned at the feeling. Magic  "Stop! " I tried yelling. He restrained both of my arms, unbuckled his pants and I just went with the flow. Nothing I hadn't felt before....
