Road To Revovery

Chapter 9 House Visit

Elijah's POV

I'm driving Avery to her old house to aquire a few things, with my help as the intimidation factor.. I think that's all, but hoping for more.. I don't really know what my roll is in her life at the moment besides being her specialized nurse for that little bit of time.. but I'm not even that anymore..

I have no idea how to feel about her, because it's not like we have talked about what we want to be.. like together, if anything at all, especially since she is not even divorced yet. That definitely puts a damper on things. But I do have to say with the way she kissed me I think she could like me for more than my looks.. let's hope, I want something substantial for once not just a booty call.

I know currently we are friends, but man with how much I can't seem to get her out of my head all the time, no matter what I'm doing, since the day I met her.. I can't help but want and wish for more with us. I just don't want to push things with her.. But if I get the chance I'm at least asking her to stay the night again.

"I'm nervous.." She says under her breath but enough that I heard it... bringing me out of my thoughts about just her.

"Why?" I ask as she shakes her head. "I have gotten a bad feeling inside of me everytime I have come here and I can't figure out why..I don't know if it's something else or just the straight fact that this is not where I thought I would be at in my life... I never thought I would be getting a divorce this young.." She says to me.

I glance over at her just for a moment before looking back at the road.. Seeing her looking so nervous, fidgeting with her hands in her lap as she looks down.. So I retort. "Maybe there is something you just don't remember yet but your body does.. so it's trying to warn you or remind you.. but we will not know, until you get those back so who really knows right now..... I honestly don't know what you expected to be doing at this point, but I bet everything is going to be ok no matter what.. Well and something I can promise is that something better is waiting on the other side of that divorce door.. you need to get someone who would put you first but someone who also knows your worth.. you deserve nothing less than that."

I can see that in the corner of my eye she is staring at me making me more nervous than before when I was just talking with her.

"Oh yeah? And what Eli? Are you going to be the person to give me that?" She asks me inching towards the center console.. I can see in my peripherals that she is still staring at me with her so straight forward question, causing my breath to catch in my throat.. making me feel more nervously excited than ever before.

I push out an answer stuttering through it.. trying to not make myself sound so unexperienced with her sexy body so close as her breath fans over my neck. "I would do... everything in my power.. to make sure you knew how amazing I think you are.. Picking you up when your feeling down and helping you hold your head high because you're better than all this trash treatment.. you know if you ever gave me the opportunity I would do my best. Whether it's me or not, you just need to find someone who will appriciate the gem that you truely are."

I feel her breath now fanning lightly over my ear and cheek. "So you think you can be the puzzle peice to my life and finally pulling everything together, piecing it little bit by little bit for me.. so I can stop falling apart? You think you can handle the craziness that comes with my life without running away full speed?" She whispers this straight into my ear sending so many sensations across my body just with her mesmerizing tone.

I find myself closing my eyes as I humm at that sexy inquirey of hers, just loving this close proximity.. I can now smell her intoxocating natural musky, sweeter than ever scent and it's something I would bottle up if I could.

"Oh man.. I would try my best I can promise you that much." I say as she whispers back into my ear. "Well then you should probably open your eyes while your driving if you want us to survive this, to actually figure out what we will do together." My eyes fly open as my hands steady the steering wheel, alerting my senses instantly.. I realize she is right about me being so stupidly unsafe while driving her.. she giggles in the passenger seat, I bet thinking I'm such an i***t right now.

"I'm so sorry.. I just wasn't thinking." I try to explain while clearing my throat. I feel her hand stretch over to me, lightly running over my shoulder as it trails to the back of my neck.

She starts massaging it just relaxing me completely.. but this time, I keep my eyes open no matter how much I want to just completely let go, relaxing under gentle tender touch.

"That feels amazing." I say to her as I pull over parking right in front of her place. "Well after we are done with this, I can do that more for you if you would like? But I have to take care of this sh*t first." She groans out the last part showing her annoyance with just having to come back here.

We get out of my car as we hear, "Avery?!" We look to see a woman running up to Avery from the yellow house stairs, next door. "Hey.. what can I help you with?" Avery asks as the woman looks guilty before handing her back a paper.. it looks like a check.

"I.. um.. I need to give this back." The woman states staring at Avery.. But Avery is shaking her head not liking whatever she was trying to give her. "No I owed you money, just take it." She states back but that makes my eyebrows furrow because I thought she was rich as hell so why is she borrowing money?

"No.. I just made that up because I'm a bad person and wanted to take advantage of the amnesia, since you have always been so mean to me in the past.. But this new you is so nice, that I just felt awful about scamming you.. So I have to give this back. I can't in good conscience take it." She explains making my mouth drop.

"No it's fine.. just take it I'm sure I owe you after some harassment that I have made you endure.. It's ok don't worry about it and you gave me a ride to my work yesterday so.. just take it please.. I'm fine without it." Avery states as she puts the check back into the woman's hands causing her to nod as tears build up in her eyes.

"I like the new you.. not because of giving me money, but because of your genuinely sweet heart.. It's refreshing to say the least.. So I guess if we are being honest.. I just saw your husband bring another woman into the house..You know, because I'm very observant of my neighbors, just because I'm a volunteer from the neighborhood watch.. He is in there as we speak, with another lady doing who knows what, so just a warning."

Avery rolls her eyes at that statement before replying, "Thanks for that warning.. I hope you have a good day." That thought just makes me sad that for whatever reason, he is cheating on her.. It just boils my blood causing the anger to build inside of me.. But I guess I shouldn't be too mad because hopefully he won't be around anymore, so she can try something new.. If things go as I hope, then it will be with me.

I watch her slowly walk up the stairs before taking out her keys and unlocking the door, pushing it open. You can hear the cries of pleasure from upstairs making her groan out as she pinches the bridge of her nose in annoyance.

"Well this sucks.." She states to no one in particular before ascending the stairs and I follow right behind. We get to the top to see her husband not only has one woman but two in the bedroom with the door wide open to our right.

He is thrusting into the woman, as he sees us but doesn't stop. I think he knows this is bothering Avery, so probably just doing it out of spite.

"Well well isn't it my b*tch of a wife.. come here to kick me out? Or do you just want to join in the fun? I can try to stay hard for you but there is no guarantees I mean look at you." He spitefully states as we just hear the clapping of skin to skin echoing in the now quiet room.

"I would never want to join because look at you.. ugh.. I'm just here to grab some things of mine and to get you to sign the divorce papers." She states crossing her arms over her chest, as I just sit here with a stern look on my face trying to be the intimidating factor.

"Who is muscles over there? What is he your new boy toy or something?" The husband asks as she scoffs at him rolling her eyes. "It's absolutely none of your business what he is to me, but if you have to know.. I like him a lot because he was the one who was here for me in the hospital, helping me recover when my 'faithful' husband wasn't around.. at all.." She declares about me making me smile down at her.

"Well he doesn't look worth the time Ave.. so I would try to find a real man if I were you." He spitefully says to her while staring at me.

Avery doesn't take that response because she instantly reacts. "He is the definition of a real man.. He has treated me better than you ever did.. that I CAN tell without my memories even.. and you want to know the best part? What I do with him is none of your business because you're no longer apart of my life.. You mean nothing to me and I just want to move on to be with who I want.. whether it's just until next week or ten years from now.. it doesn't matter because it's my life and has nothing to do with you. Now where did you put the papers to sign for the divorce?" She asks him rolling her eyes as he groans out.

"You can't just leave me Avery.. I haven't signed them anyways." He spats as if he has won this game so she storms into his room looking around and picking up a wad of papers on his dresser, looking at them.. he pushes the girl he is penetrating away from his body before storming out of the bed, butt naked and to Avery's side.

"You can't just do this." He demands as he pushes her to the side, making her fall over. I quickly catch Avery as I set her in on her feet then pushing her Ex straight into the wall standing between her and him.

"Sign the papers now and you won't have to worry about me and my man ever again." She states and at the risk of sounding crazy I love the fact that she has just now called me her man, it just rolled off her tongue so easily.

"Fine you little b*tch! Have your stupid divorce.. Just know your 'muscle man' is not always going to be around to help you.. We will have another TALK when he is not around." He threatens as I shove him straight into his dresser sending him to the floor groaning out in pain. I kneel down next to him as I spat in his face. "Don't you ever threaten her or harass her ever again.. or I'll be right back here to teach you a lesson.. Sign the f*#king papers."

This demand doesn't go unnoticed by him nor Avery. I turn around grabbing the papers and pen from her grip and slap the stack to the floor in front of his face. He takes the pen from my hand, reluctantly signing the papers in every section needed. Once he is done I hand them behind me to Avery, so she takes them and I stand up, hovering over the top of him.

"Stay away from Avery or I will be back.. you understand me?" I demand from him as he just nods his head reluctantly but not fighting me which is good.

I turn around to Avery as she takes my hand into hers and leading me down the hall, we get into another room and the whole place is ransacked.. all her clothes destroyed by a knife or scissors, along with bleech and paint.

"Oh yeah I forgot to tell you.. I hate you b*tch and I had to make sure you knew how much I hated you.. have a good life.. oh and f*#k the both of you." Her now Ex-husband, spats at us from down the hall with the biggest smirk on his face showing so much satisfaction from his actions.

"Come on let's just go, we came here for the papers mostly and we can buy you whatever you need." I state to her as I take her hand into mine and flip her husband off with my other hand. He just glares daggers at us as we pass by.
