Misery Is Sweet

Chapter 9 Door Visit

Meika's POV

I have to go... I have to get away from him before I get attached because if I get any more attached than I already am, he is going to bust my heart into a million pieces.. completely shattering it... I can already tell this by the effect he is having on my heart as we speak.

I duck under the same hole we used as an entrance, making it the exit whether it is or not. I walk out of his presence and to the door as I feel him quickly grab my hand just to pull me into his broad chest. Making our bodies slap together almost as if they are magnets just naturally pulling towards each other, needing to be together.

"Did I do something wrong?" He asks with confusion on his face, looking more worried than I ever expected. "No... you did everything perfectly.. that's the problem... You're just.. perfect." I state to him trying to turn around and leave, but he won't let me as he wraps his arm around my waist and pulls the rest of me into him.

"I'm not going to hurt you, I promise Meika.. just give me a chance to prove it.. please." He says to me as my hands grip his shirt that's over his chest. "You can't promise that Kris." I spat at him as he states in a soothing tone while we lock our gazes. "I would do anything in my power to keep you from getting hurt... anything Meika." in that same moment he leans in and presses his soft lips to mine, I can't help but hum into them, now pulling him in closer by his shirt I still have hold of. He tightens his grip around my waist, as his huge open hand cups over my cheek, reeling me in so there is no space between us.

This is too amazing of a kiss to ever want to stop, so I kiss him for as long as he will let me, and it somehow seems as if time itself has stopped, giving us this sensational moment for as long as we wanted while practically weakening my knees in that one action.

He stops the kiss to my dismay, as he says into them. "You're what I want and I swear on my life I would do anything to make sure you're not hurt any worse than you already have been because you don't deserve to be hurt at all, let alone any more than you already have been." This makes my heart beat out of my chest at that thought alone but something inside of me can't say no.. no matter how much this scares the living hell out of me.

"If you hurt me.. then I'm leaving.. and never coming back," I warn him as he smiles and states. "Who would blame you?"

"I mean it Kris I would probably kick your ass then leave so you could have something to remember the hurt you caused." I threaten him again as he smiles and says. "I wouldn't expect anything less." he leans in kissing me again and I won't stop him from giving me exactly what I never knew I needed.

That is until his phone starts to ring. He breaks our kiss apologetically as he takes his phone out and automatically answers it. "Yes sir.. yes.. of course.. I'll be there soon." He hangs up the call looking down at me saying. "Your father is asking me to come in early tonight for some reason.. but if you're not too busy tonight or tomorrow I would love to hang out again."

I smile up at him asking nervously. "You sure you want to still hang out with me after this?" He scoffs at me with his arm still tightly wrapped around my waist from our invigorating kiss. "I want as much time with you, as you're willing to give me." He says to me as I smile up at him watching his lips form into a pucker inching closer to me and I willingly join in once again. We kiss for another amazing moment before he breaks our kiss to head back inside.

"Thank you again for this fun... I appreciate you giving me a chance." He says backing away from me to the door. He reaches out opening the door as I reply. "I appreciate you giving me this time with you... it was nice to see this side I have never seen before... so.. when you get off of work.. send me a text or give me a call.. and maybe we can hang out tonight." I say shyly to him as his smile widens as he nods. "I can't wait." He turns around heading down the stairs as I slowly follow him down.

He might have to rush because my father is not a patient man.. but he asked him to come early knowing he probably wasn't ready and that he will need a minute to do so.. hopefully. My father is not the most understanding man either hence my predicament.. but all I can do is hope for him.

I slowly meander over to my room but as I pull my keys out to open my door I hear another one opening to the side of me. It's him in his black slacks and tucked-in button-up shirt. He is straightening out his nice black collared shirt as he looks up to see me. The smile that emerges on his face sends a chill through my body as I match his smile.

"I hope you have a good night," I say to him unlocking my door as he is instantly at my side. "It will be amazing knowing I will probably get to see you after this shift." He purrs into my ear causing me to giggle before he kisses my cheek. "Can't wait to see you later beautiful." I blow him a kiss watching him run down the hallway to his work destination.

I smirk to myself loving this feeling I now have embedded in my heart... What is this? I'm not sure but either way, I love it. I turn to enter my room as my face is slammed against the doorframe. I groan out in pain as I turn around to see my brother.

"Hey.. sis.. I totally forgot to give you your birthday present and I had to make sure it was something to remember me by.. that you can keep forever with you." I'm feeling a little dizzy as my vision blurs slightly from my head making straight contact with the doorframe. I feel my arm being lifted as I look at it just to see the cigarette he has lit connecting with my skin. I yelp out as he quickly covers my mouth to muffle my pain-filled screams. I watch him lean in as he says to me. "that's payback for this morning b*tch.. do it again and see what happens... I told you I would catch you alone one of these days.. and it's nice to now know what room you're staying in.. thank you... taking that mental note for later."

I feel tears falling from my eyes as I whimper in pain. "Oh and don't tell your little boy toy about this.. because if he tries anything else with me he will pay as well.. and worse... Oh and believe every word that comes out of my mouth, if I find out you're dating him there will be hell to pay for you just for breaking your contract... So tell me sis are you dating daddy's bodyguard?" my brother asks me as I shake my head and he laughs at my expense... "I'm sorry what?" He finally takes his hand off of my mouth as I whimper out with tears still pouring down. "I'm not dating him."

"Good.. good.. that's what I thought.. that's good to hear... Do I need to make sure he knows the same rules? you know about dating?" I shake my head vigorously as I whimper out once more. "No.. we are not dating... I swear."

He smiles in victory letting me go as he replies. "Good... happy birthday sis... hope you like your present to remember me by." I sniffle as I watch him walking the same route Kristoff just left to. I get into my room pretty quickly shutting and locking the door behind me.

I can't help looking down at the burnt skin that's aching at the moment. It's throbbing in pain and I just want to touch it to clean but it hurts too bad to touch. I wipe my tears away as I make my way to my bathroom to do some cleanup for my broken self once again. I turn on the cold water letting the freezing stream cool down my wound which feels as if it might still be on fire. I whimper out in pain hating how good and bad this feels at the same time.. the water making contact soothes the heat just to hurt by the straight contact.

I turn down the pressure just letting the light constant drips of the water soothe it for as long as I want.. and that's when my door starts to sound like a drum, getting my heart beating just as fast.. who could be at my door? I suck in a sharp breath as I wearily make my way to the door.

I slowly open it, peaking out just to see Elizabeth.. not the person I thought to see on the other side of this door but I'm completely relieved. "Lizzy?" I ask questioning my own eyes since my face was hit and my vision made blurry, it's a big possibility that my eyes could be mistaken.

"Come on.. really? I asked Janessa what room was yours so I could spend time with you as I do for every birthday even if it's just for a minute.. happy birthday girl!" She explains to me as I send a small smile her way nodding at her as her eyebrows touch before she questions me. "Why? Who did you think it was?" I silently shake my head not wanting to really answer this and just hoping this is enough for her.

I watch her eyes scan my features as she now notices my puffy red eyes. "What's going on girl?" I shake my head again turning away from her as I hear the door shutting behind me knowing she has invited herself in like usual.

"Who did this to you?" She yells grabbing my newly wounded arm into her hands as I hiss out in pain, pulling my arm back out of her tight clutches. "Your brother did this didn't he?" She accuses the right person automatically because it's no secret how much he and I hate each other. I never want to lie to her she is my friend, so I let out the wavering breath I was holding in, not saying an answer out loud to her but this still answers her Inquiry.

She starts storming around the room just pacing back and forth. "I'm going to say something to him! That asshole thinks he owns the place and has no consequences for his actions!" She spats to no one in particular just feeling livid about the situation.

I quickly get to her side, holding her still to look at me as I state. "He does own the place now, so there are no consequences for him.. please don't say anything to him.. if you do he will come back for me and possibly hurt you.. just don't.. please."

She huffs out in defeat knowing I'm right about this as she pulls me behind her and back to the bathroom to help me clean it. We hang out and talk for a little while about everything because she has always been a close friend and I know I can trust her.

She completely approves of my new studly secret, knowing I won't give it up no matter the threat at least not yet.. she knows how long I have had a crush on him and what this is for me. This is big since I never really date... I have tried, just nothing has worked out, especially in this place.. it doesn't bring in the best people by any means but there are some diamonds in a pile of coal.

She made me feel better about everything and that's all I needed right now.
