Abused Love (AL Series)

Chapter 7

Inara 

  Well, it's been two weeks and I haven't stopped texting that mystery man after we gave each other our phone numbers. It's crazy, I feel so much through the messages he sends me that all I want to do is see him again and kiss him. Oh, God! That kiss!! I can't stop thinking and dreaming about how good of a kisser he is. He has asked me out a few times but I'm always busy and things have not been so great at the house. 

  I do have a day that I don't have to do much and so I could get the night free. After some time thinking it all through I send him a text I spent a half-hour to send it, though. I kept second-guessing what to say and how to say it.

‘So I have Saturday night free after 7. If you still wanted to do something.’ After I sent it I stared at my phone waiting. My heart is racing and I can’t stop wondering if he will want to or not. It didn't take long to get his reply, only a minute.

‘I would love you. I can pick you up or we can meet somewhere first.’

‘Let's meet. It will make it easier for me once I get off work.’

 I lied to him. I couldn't have him picking me up anywhere my family would see or I know I would be in for a lot of drama. Drama I didn't want nor need right now. 

‘Sounds good. How does the zoo sound at 7:15?’

‘Perfect. I’ll see you there!’

  I can't believe it! I can't stop myself from getting a little jumpy and giggling. That's when I ran into a hard chest. 

  I look up and see my dad. My eyes grow huge and I look down as fast as I could while saying sorry. Hoping that he would just walk past me. No such luck for me though. 

He grabs me by my hair and drags me to the mall stairs and makes me stand at the top looking at him. He gives me an evil smile and then pushes me down them and everything goes black. 

~~~~~

  It's time for me to meet Mr. mystery man!! I slowly get dressed carefully so I don’t touch anything that's injured from the other day when my dad pushed me down the stairs at the mall. But no matter how much pain I was in I was not going to miss seeing that drop-dead gorgeous man from weeks ago. 

  After I’m dressed in blue skinny jeans and a red long sleeve shirt I head out. I didn't have time to do my makeup or hair so I just put my hair in a fast messy bun and hoped it looked okay. 

  I walk up to the front of the zoo and saw him. Oh my, has he gotten better looking? He's wearing a red short sleeve shirt that looks like mine and washed-out looking jeans. Yummy! He must have felt me staring at him because he looks my way and I end up almost falling flat on my face, but before I do I feel arms around me pulling me up. I knew who it was from the sparks I was feeling from his touch. What surprised me most was that even though I knew I had a broken rib or two and I was bruised all over, there was no pain from him catching me. 

  I look up to see him looking at me worried. He asks if I'm okay and I let him know I'm fine. 

  We walk into the Zoo after staring into each other's eyes for a while. I didn't even know he was holding my hand till he brought it up to his mouth and kissed it while we were looking at the cute baby bears. They looked like they were having so much fun and didn't have a care in the world, unlike my world where I have to do so much to survive. 

  I guess Mr. mystery man could feel that my mood shifted a little because that's when he kissed my hand. I can definitely say if he keeps being like this I'm going to fall for something I can't have. But I wanted him so bad. It was almost like a need. A need for him to live in this world. 

"Hey let's get some dinner. I'm starving and I bet you are too." He smiled down at me while talking. He hasn't taken his eyes off me the whole time we have been here, even if I wasn't looking at him I could feel his eyes on me. It was weird but I can’t say I didn’t like it, because I did, a lot.

  As we made it to a place to eat I couldn’t help but wonder where all the people were. So after we sat down I decided to ask him. I mean I know it’s late but it’s a weekend, Why would there be no one out at this time?

"Where is everyone?" 

  He looked at me funny and then said. "It's almost 8:30 at night. The zoo closed at 5 pm."

  I looked at him like he was crazy. 

"If it’s closed then how are we here? Please don’t tell me we are breaking the law being here right now.”

"I know someone who works here. I asked for a favor." He answered while giving a small chuckle.

  Did he ask for a favor? Why would he do that? But before I could ask him I found myself walking over to him and sitting in his lap. He looked at me shocked but for some reason, I wanted to touch him, to kiss him, so I did. 

  It turned hot and heavy so fast. I started in his lap kissing, next thing I know I'm up against the wall with my legs wrapped around his waist. He's kissing me and I feel like the world is on fire. I can't stop what's going to happen and I don't want to. 

  I felt his hands going under my shirt and I can't help but gasp at the feeling of where his hands keep moving too. Everywhere he touches he leaves heat and tingles behind, I can't help but start moving my hips up against him. This makes him growl. Wait a second, did he just growl? 

  But before I could think too much into it he starts to kiss along my cheekbone and down to my neck. 

  He hits this one part on my neck that's right by my shoulder and I feel like I'm about to explode as something is starting to burn inside of me and it keeps building and building. I throw my head back on the wall and arch my back as he moves his kissing down more. I know I should stop this but I don’t think I can't. I’m not sure if I even want to. 

  As I was thinking to myself I feel my shirt is almost off and then I see it being thrown somewhere behind him and I hear a very loud growl that brings everything back into the present. I see how dark his eyes are while he looks at my bruised body. s**t! How the hell could I forget about how bad my body looks right now!
