Behind Bars

mistake

Alora's POV

what just happened? my mind is still spinning. Kyus still stands in front of me. the door still locked with a fight breaking out in the prison grounds.

the air in the room was filled with hot lust, my heart was almost beating out of my chest, and my lips were on fire from our kiss.

what have I done?

I cleared my throat, trying to get some words out

"y.you should leave."

I turned my back to him, facing my desk. I couldn't look at him, I couldn't look at myself at this point. we have crossed a line I had no intention of crossing, but now it has been done. I have wrecked everything I have worked so hard for, for a few minutes of heaven.

Kyus hadn't moved or said anything else. what does he want? he pulls me in, then wants me to fear him.

"Please, just go," I whispered

I couldn't stand him standing there anymore. I could feel the anger rising inside me. how dare he do that to me. the sound of my office door unlocking pulled my gaze, I looked up to watch him leave, and he stopped for a second, looking at me back

"I'm not sorry," he said and left

As soon as the door closed, I exhaled a big breath. I didn't know I was holding in. "Oh shìt" I said to myself.

I almost jumped out of my skin when the phone rang. I did my best to pull myself together before answering

"Hello,"

"Hey, gurl, just checking in. You're all good?" Chevy voice said

"Oh hey, yeah, I'm good," I replied

that's a lie, but I couldn't tell her why I wasn't good.

after talking to Chevy on the phone for a few minutes, she filled me in what had happen, apparently 2 inmates go into a small beef about some biscuits. I guess the really small things can set a man off in this place.

for the past few hours I spent hiding in my office to afraid to come out just in case I ran into Kyus in the halls. I had a few inmates come in for a session. one spoke so fast I could hardly keep up and the other just sat there stareing into space.

by the time the day was done I was so sick of being stuck in my own head, replaying that kiss over and over in my head. I grabbed my bag and walked out the prison with Chevy and a few of the other gards.

some of the gards had arranged to go to the local pub for a beer chevry asked if I wanted to come, after today It wouldn't be a bad idea. at least I can get out of this flashback that has been on repeat

We all arrived at the bar called mojoe's Ricky, Neil, Frank, Chevy and myself and a few others all gathered around ordering our drinks. I ordered one shot of Tequila and a beer. Chevy ordered a water. I threw the shot down letting the burn hit the back of my throat

"bad day?" Chevy asked

"something like that" I replied

we all sat around a big round table, everyone was talking and having a good time. but my mind kept drifting off to the wolf, why can't he leave my thoughts alone?

"Pete!" Chevy yelled calling over a man waving at us

"you made it" she said

he looked to be in his early 30s he had clean skin dark blonde hair and wore a pants suit.

"Pete this is Alora" she introduced us

"hi" I gave him a small smile and a wave

"oh you're the new therapist" he said

"yeah" I replied

"Pete here is the warden desk bìtch"

" aye now you know I was your b***h first chevy" he joked giving her a cheeky grin

Pete was not bad on the eyes, he had a nice figure, nice smile. complete opposite to kyus, kyus looked like the type of guy that could snap you like a swig. ah why am I comparing their looks I really need to get out of this kyus fog.

as Pete walked to the bar to grab a drink, Chevy leaned in to whisper in my ear

" he's great in bed,"

"What?" I raised my brows

"Pete, I can see you checking him out"

"I was not" I protested. Chevy gave me a side eye look like she knew something I didn't. after a few minutes Pete made his way back to our table, everyone was lost in thier conversations

the night was going great, turns out Pete and I have a lot in common. his dad was a cop and died on the job just like my farther. we both struggled being kids to parents who worked on the forse. always wondering if they'll come home.

waiting for the news that they have died in the line of action.

one day, all my fears came true.

"who's up for some karaoke" Chevy called

most of the gards rolled their eyes and went back to their conversation, Chevy gave me a stern look trying to encourage me to get there

"oh I don't sing"

" if im going up there your going up" pete said

"come on it will be fun, please for me" she begged

I sighed in defeat, I wasn't much of a singer. I sung in the shower or when I was alone in my apartment.

before I could say or do anything the Pete ran up on the small stage, talking into the microphone

"please welcome to the stage the one, the only, Alora."

I took along swig of my beer and rose to my feet mumberling I'm going to kill you to Chevy before making my way to the stage.

the bar wasn't exactly full of people I heard a few clapping hands mostly coming from Chevy.

im no way near drunk enough for this.

I turned to to small band behind me asking if they knew Shania twain: any man of mine. before I knew it the base guitar and drums started, I took a deep breath in grabbing the microphone letting the lyrics flow out of my mouth. a few people around the bar were clapping and singing to the song. Pete was standing next to the stage watching me like a lost stuck puppy , I gave him a wink before turning back to my audience.

by the time the song was done everyone was clapping I took a small bow and jumped off the stage

" your turn" I pushed Pete on the stage not giving him a chance to flake out

" I don't think I'll top that" he spoke

Chevy was screaming at me in excitement "gurl I didn't think you could sing like that. I gave a smile and shrug " beginners luck"

we all started to chear on Pete as he started to sing Billy Ray Cyrus old town road he was really good way better then me. everyone was clapping and dancing on the spot to the beat of the music. when Pete finished his song the night went on really great we had a few more beers and alot of laughs. I managed not to think about kyus for the rest of the night. it was the best destruction I needed. kyus was a problem for tomorrow.
