Color Me Bruised

Chapter 13

Once ah woke up de next day, ah saw dat Mister Williams wasn't there. Ah looked tuh mah right, and ah saw uh plate uh food. Ah could see he ain't lef a long time, cause de food wuz still warm. Ah tried tuh move mah body an sit upright but evrywhere wuz hurtin. Mah arms, mah head mah lips, mah lips and mah back. Ah had bruises all ovuh mah chest and mah neck an stomach. Ah ate de food he left, cleaned his room, put mah dress on an lef. After all, ah wuz still his servant. I washed mahself and put on a new dress. Ah cleaned de second floor even wid mah body achin, and moved on tuh de first. 

Once De whole house wuz cleaned, Ah prepared dinnuh. It wuz round 2 in de afternoon. Ah opened de  windows, sat down an waited fuh him tuh come. He still ain't come even in  de  next few hours. Round 6, he opened de door and walked slowly tuh me.

"Where you alright all alone today?" He asked me aftuh puttin his kiss on mah forehead.

"Ah wuz fine." Ah said wid a smile, and going tuh close de windows. He took advantage uh dat an came up behind me, liftin mah dress higher and higher, an grabbin my breasts.

Although it felt good, it hurt still.

"Ah can't." Ah said takin his hands away.

"Why?"

"Ah'm sore."

He laughed a little.

"I didn't  severely hurt you did I?"

"No. Ah wish I could have you tonight." Ah told him.

He took his finguz and  ran dem  through de side uh mah face and smiled.

"Come with me. I will take care of you."

He grabbed mah hand, and we took off tuh De second floor. He made me get intuh his bed, and covered me wid his sheets. He pulled his chair nex tuh De bed.

"Are you comfortable?" He asked me.

Ah nodded.

"Where were you tuhday?" Ah asked him.

"To another town. I had to meet my brother."

"Brother?"

"Yes--my younger brother. He is successful but judgmental."

"Did yuh---tell him bout me?" Ah asked him, nervous he might not lak telling people bout his nigger lover.

"As a matter of fact, I did. I told him how wonderful you were, how beautiful and sweet---but----"

"He ain't lak it cause Ah'm uh nigger." Ah said finishin his sentence fuh him.

He sighed and ain't say nothin.

Ah took De sheets, put dem ovuh mah head and fell asleep, leavin him alone on his chair.

So, once in a while, I'm gonna be doing Mr. Williams' POV (point of view) just to keep up with what he's thinking. They will not be on each chapter though, so do not be disappointed if you do not find them there in future chapters. This is the first one! Yay!!

Mr. Williams' POV

I feel wrong for hurting her feelings. I cannot help but love her. She is what I want and need. I don't want to physically hurt her either, but every time I am around her, I want her pressed against me. I will try to stop wanting her as much. My brother has planned to visit in the coming few days, and I do not want her to hate me for the things he might say.
