Totally Screwed
538 Words
"I am sorry for that. I am under a lot of stress, and my mind is running faster than I am moving. Hi, I am Elizabeth but you can call me Beth."
He smirks, “Nice to meet you Elizabeth."
Get out of the gutter, Beth! I smile and force myself to look down at the fruit.
"Hey man I will be back. I have two demons to find." Daniel runs upstairs, and then I suddenly hear my babies run for their lives.
"So, Nate tell me something about yourself."
I can feel him staring at me.
"I am an only child; spoiled and like to get what I want. So, I work hard to have the absolute best to be the very best." I look up to not be rude, and he looks at me and lick his lips.
It cannot mean what I think, this is just the lack of s*x for a year.
Before I can answer I hear nails on a chalkboard.
"Beth! Your door was unlocked where are the kids."
"Kendrick whether my door is unlocked or wide open. You ring the doorbell and stand the f**k outside."
He looks at me with disgust, "Are you going to wear make up when you come back to the office? You do not want people calling you Scarface." Then he actually chuckles. I place my hand on my scar creeping up from neck to my jaw on the right side of my face. I survived the accident but not without literal scars. This one in particular tightens up at times and is a b***h to cover. It is not that ugly, looks like a vine on my caramel skin.
"I think you should not cover it; the color tone brings out the hazel in your eyes. Plus, scars make a person, tells their stories. If any fool has a problem with that, then they are blind to beauty."
Kendrick was taken back; he did not see Nate until he spoke.
"Who are you? Do not tell me you went to the boys and girl club to get a lay."
"At least I did not rob the daycare like you did."
"Trust me son..."
"I am not your f*****g son. And I will only warn you once, the next insult that you toss her way I will knock out double your teeth."
Seeing a storm brewing I step in between them to interrupt their staring contest.
"Kendrick go sit in the car, I will send the kids out. And I start Monday, I had an extra wing built remember. Therefore, my scar is not your worry. You stay on your side and I will stay on mine. The only reason I am not moving is because I do not want to lose my patients. "
He takes a deep breath and storms off.
So caught up, I did not realize how close Nate was to me. He reaches up and trace my scar, sending chills down my body; unfreezing my south pole.
"I would love to see the ending of this. " Then he walks away and out the door. I can see him through my favorite window, and he walks to the house right behind me!
I am totally going to get screwed, damn it. I mean I am screwed.
