Katherine's Fate

Chapter 7

I was waiting for Alex to knock when I heard the front door open. I went into the living room and saw Ian standing there. I figured he would come back I just didn’t think it would be this soon. I glanced behind him and noticed that he left the door open just a little, that was enough to let Alex know that something is wrong. I looked at Ian and said, “What are you doing back here? We are finished. You are not welcome here and you know it. How did you even get in here? I know I locked that door.” Ian laughed and said, “I still have a key. I came back because I wanted to apologize. But I noticed that you had some company so I waited until he was gone. How do you know him? Does he know about your past? Have you f****d him yet? Does he feel sorry for you?” By the time he finished talking he was screaming at me. 

I stood as tall as I could without stretching my stitches and said, “What goes on between me and Alex is absolutely none of your business. You can just go have fun with your whores and stay the hell out of my life.” He laughed at me and said, “I’m just concerned about you. I don’t want you to get hurt.” I was livid; he didn’t want to see me hurt. That was laughable. I said, “You don’t want to see me hurt, your concerned about me. That has got to be the funniest thing I’ve ever heard. After everything you did to me you have no right to say a goddamn thing about my safety. You were everything to me. But you treated me like garbage; you cheated on me then abused me in every way possible. How dare you come into my house and tell me that you’re concerned. Get out. And leave that key while you’re at it. Just get out now.” I was screaming as well. 

It was at this time that I noticed Alex was standing just inside the door with his arms folded over his chest. Ian took a step towards me and said, “You know Michael wouldn’t want us to fight like this. So unless you want me to give him a call you should lower your voice.” Oh no he didn’t I said, “You’re lucky I haven’t told Michael what you’ve done to me. We both know he would kill you and forget to tell god that you died. Keep going Ian and he will be my first call. And after I call him I will call Josh, Will, Liam, and everyone else I know. Would you like that?” Ian face drained of all color at the mention of Liam and Will. I knew that would get him. But just as fast as it drained he got red and said, “You little b***h, I will get you for this. You think what I did tonight was bad. Let me show you what bad really looks like.” 

He came towards me but Alex was faster than him. Alex grabbed him by the arms and said, “I wouldn’t get to handsy if I were you. I might just have to break your arms. Now if you don’t want a hospital trip, I suggest you do as the lady told you to and leave.” Ian looked up at Alex and nodded his head. Alex let him go and Ian moved toward the door rubbing his shoulder. He said, “We’re not finished yet, I can promise you that. I’ll be back, just you wait and see.” With those final words he left us in peace, at least for that night. But I knew that he wasn’t kidding, he would be back at some point. Alex locked the door behind him, then turned to me and said, “Well now that the unpleasantness is over why don’t we get some sleep.” I nodded and we went into the bedroom. I sat on the edge of the bed and said, “You can change in the bathroom if you would like to.” He nodded and took his bag into the bathroom to change. 

It wasn’t long before he came back into the room. Damn did he look sexy or what?  All he had on was a pair of loose fitting sweatpants. And when I say loose fitting I mean they hung very low upon his hips. You could see every inch of those washboard abs he had. He had even taken his hair out of the normal ponytail he kept it in. It looked so soft and silky that I just wanted to run my fingers through it. He looked at me and I couldn’t help but blush. He just caught me ogling him and to be honest I’m not really all that embarrassed by it. He smiled that handsome smile of his and simply walked around to the other side and got into the bed. He laid down next to me and put his arm around my shoulder that gave me the opportunity to cuddle up against him. His skin felt like velvet over steel. We fell asleep in each other’s arms and for once I slept pretty well, not a single night mare. I wonder what tomorrow will hold for us as we face the future together as friends and get to know each other better.
