Nobody's Bitch

Dinner

He scooped me off the bed and hugged me tightly. I was traumatized and stiff.  I didn't even hug him back. He hugged me for a few moments longer before he released.

"I don't understand you were never nice to me before. Why now? "

" Mia I know I have been an ass ever since you've known me. But it's my fault thus happened to you. "

I stood there silent waiting for him to continue.

" when you guys came home and I talked to Jackson. He told me that he was going to go all the way. But I thought that's what you wanted. I thought you wanted to do it to. Then when I heard you scream I didn't know what to think. So when I busted threw the door and saw you crying a-and him on top of you. I tried to help but he made me leave."

"NO ONE CAN MAKE YOU DO ANY THING BUT YOU.  You left me there."

"Mia I had no choice. I'm so sorry. So when you came out the room I was standing in the hall fighting with myself about saving you or obeying."

"So you just let people just order you around? "

"Mia you don't understand......"

"Understand what that you didn't want to save me. Is it because I'm not like you guys. I'm not cool or any of that. If you didn't want to save me then don't lie to me. Just leave Manson I have to get ready for dinner tonight."

He nodded his head and made his way out my room. I followed him all the way to the front door.

"Mia I am so sorry." Then he left he got in his car and drove off.

I shut the door and walked to my bathroom. My reflection was sad. My eyes were red and baggy. I took a cold towel and rubbed my eyes. I turned the shower on and went to pick out clothes for dinner tonight. I got in the shower and washed my body and hair. When I got out my eyes weren't red or baggy anymore. I put on my fluffy robe and started doing my hair. I tried to forget the memories of today. Tried to put them behind me in the back of my mind. I put on a little makeup and walked out the bathroom. I put on my clothes I sat out and headed down stairs (The picture is what her outfit looked like). Mom walked threw the door holding about 5 bags from Walmart. She kicked the door shut and fast walked to the kitchen. So she wouldn't drop anything. I walked in behind her kissing her cheek.

"Hi darling how was your day? "

My eyes darkened a bit recalling what happen with Jackson, but my mom didn't catch it.

" It was ok, do you need help? "

" Yes please thank you. "

Glad that she left it alone I turned on the kitchen radio and helped unload the groceries. Drunk in love by Beyonce came on. My mom started dancing and singing. I joined her as we danced around the kitchen putting everything away.

"We woke up in a kitchen saying how the heck this ish happen oh babe! "

" DRUNK IN LOVE! " sung my mom.

"Mom who's coming over for dinner?"

"My boss and his son."

I nodded my head while I helped her make dinner. A hour later we were done with the sides and desert and just waiting on the chicken. I went to go set the table. I lit some candles around the house making the whole house smell like warm apple pie. I cleaned up the front room making it presentable. As soon as my mom pulled the chicken out the oven the door bell rang. Mom sat the food in the middle of the table and rushed to the door. She opened the door and there stood a very tall man. His muscles were big but not body builder big. He was handsome and wore a easy going smile. I instantly liked him.

I leaned to my mom and said "I hope your hitting that."

Her cheeks turned red and she let him in. Behind the tall man was two younger but tall guys. They were facing the street when my mom told then they can come in. My breath hitched as I saw Jackson and Mason standing on my porch.

"Kimberly this is my son Jackson and his best friend Mason."

"Mr. Hernandez this is my daughter Mia." I waved shyly.

"No need to be formal call me James."

My mom nodded her head and showed our guest to the dinning room.

"May I use your bathroom really quickly?" said Jackson.

"Mia will you show Jackson to the bathroom."

I wanted to just die what if he tried the same shit all over again?My walls aren't sound proof. I showed him upstairs to the bathroom. He eyed the bathroom and then we walked closer to me. His hand went to my cheek and I flinched away.

"I'm sorry Mia I'm so sorry for what I did. I lost control over myself and I am really sorry I didn't mean to hurt or scare you." his eyes held sincerity, but he couldn't be trusted.

"Get your hands away from me.  Don't ever touch me again!"

I turned my back to him and he pulled me up to his body and whispered

"i̱ agápi̱ den í̱thele, allá agápi̱ mou eínai ti tha kánete. Spró̱xte mou makriá poté kai ti̱n agápi̱ mou gia pánta"

"Let me go you sick bastard."

He let go and I rushed down the stairs. I reached the bottom with a quick thud. Everyone at the table looked at me concerned.

"I almost fell." Why was I so scared to tell the truth? Now that I knew he was my mom's boss I definitely was going to keep my mouth closed. Jackson cane down the stairs and his hand brushed my lower back. I tried to resist how it made me feel but I can't deny that it made my stomach flutter.  I brushed it off and walked to the table. I sat next to my mom and Jackson took a seat next to Mason. The rest of dinner was chit-chatful and peaceful. Dinner was almost over when he said it.
