“Yea sure is it just to get out to talk about the payment and rent because that is coming up.” Alexis said
“No it is for us to get to know each other and talk about something other than Leo or my ex wife.” Gabriel replied
“Well my answer is yes but i need to ask you something.” Alexis said
“Yea go ahead.” Gabriel replied
“I wanted to….” Alexis started
RING RING
“It's the doctor, let me get this.” Gabriel said
“I'm pretty sure he is calling you to ask you about the same thing I was … the date.” alexis thought
“He was asking for tomorrow night off he has a date , what were you saying.” Gabriel said
“Little do you know i'm the date.” alexis thought
“I was just wondering if I could have tomorrow night off. I need a girls night with Riley?” Alexis asked
“Yea sure i'll also give you the morning off i don't have anything to do at the office, ill aso forward 300 dollars to your account so you can buy you an outfit for tomorrow and this weeked and get your nails done.” Gabriel said
“You don't need to do that. I have a dress I can wear for both.” Alexis said
“Go get you a dress and pamper yourself, consider it a part of our date and I'm not taking no for an answer.” Gabriel demanded
“Fine, I'm taking a bath. Can you bring me one of your unused razors and a glass of wine?” Alexis asked
“Sure but why one of my razors?” Gabriel asked
“I find it easier to shave because female razors have a garde that keeps it from cutting hair well so I need yours is that a problem?” Alexis asked
“Nope, not a problem white or red wine for you?” Gabriel asked
“Alright see you in a little bit.” Alexis said
A little while later Alexis finishes shaving and hears a knock on the door, “Come in.” Alexis said
Gabriel came in studying Alexis’s naked body analyzing every curve of her body and noticed scares and old markings on her back and legs, “What happened to you, what's on your back?” Gabriel asked
“They are nothing you can do so stop looking at them.” Alexis replied
“If you tell me i can help you.” Gabriel said
“How can you get them for what they did to me. it's not like you care.” Alexis said
“There is something wrong about what you just said. I can do something about it and I do care about you and it's not just because you are watching and caring for my kid. I feel something when I see and hear how you care for leo. when you walk with confidence and i love that because it radiates off of you and i wish to have that around me at any time possible.” Gabriel said
“Now if you just tell me i can help you.” Gabriel said
“Are you against human trafficking and rape?” Alexis asked with a worried face
“Yes I am. I find it disgusting how grown men can do that to women then have daughters of their own.” Gabriel said
“Well when I was younger I was raped by a family member on my step dad's side and i didn tell anyone over the years and at the ages of 4- 9 you don't know any better. one time I did end up telling someone I trusted , which was my grandma, as an assignment at school about telling something you never told anyone so I did.” Alexis said
“I told her how he made it seem like it was a game and even though it was i wasn't able to tell an adult because they wouldnt and then you would have been alarmed but at four years old you dont know better and it happened for 5 years whenever he wanted and if i told he would make it seem like i pushed him or i was asking for it, so i kept quiet like i was told until now.” Alexis said
Alexis starts crying overwhelmed with emotional tears rolling from her face and dropping from her chin Gabriel pulls her into a tight hug comforting her making her feel warm. Gabriel lowers his head and tells her “I can help you and keep you safe if you tell me his name.”
“Rocco Finch.” Alexis said
