Chapter Ten - The Man Called King

The loud sound of police sirens drowning out the screams of another woman saying no. "Knock Knock Princess" King enters my room dressed In a long black trench coat, dark blue demi jeans and white nike air force ones all that black washed out his noir skin tone.

I try to get up and move my hands but I couldn't he handcuffed me to the cold medal bed. " Now now don't push yourself couldn't let you leave us so early so I guess the cuff's will have to do." He said with a vindictive smile he took the back of his hand and brushed my cheeks I tired to wiggle away from his grip but it got tighter. "Let me go" I yanked my chin away from his grip on it.

He put his hands around my neck "Listen here you little ungrateful bitch I took you from the streets, fed you, put clothes on your back matter a fact designer clothes. So guess what if I want you to walk the streets your going to walk the fucking streets and love it." I could see the tightness of his jawline boldly show and anger fill his eyes yet I could also feel my breaths getting shorter. "Yo mike take her ass to the basement." He yelled out I could feel my bodies tempter drop and my lips quiver.

Mike is Kings personal bodyguard he's a six foot 3 bald Hispanic over sized guy. I can see him standing by the room's doorway "Well come on I'm not paying you to stare pick her up and let's get moving." King said he takes keys out of his pocket the ring was full of them I couldn't even tell the difference between any of them. Mike grabs me and puts over his shoulders. "NO NO PLEASE STOP I'LL BE GOOD I'LL BE GOOD I PROMISE I WONT RUN AWAY ANYMORE PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME DOWN THERE KING KING!!!!!" my scream felt muted just like the screams of that other woman saying no he came close to my face "Maybe a month will show you respect."

"AHH" I jump out of my sleep my body left in cold sweat those memories won't leave me no matter how much I try and the universe knows I tired to forget everything. My train of thought was interrupted by my house phone "Oh wow it's the afternoon already?" I must have dazed off at some point I answer my cell phone " Hi is this Athena?" "Yes this is she?" I asked puzzled over the other persons voice over the phone "Hi I'm Jordan from the flower shop I was wondering would you be able to take my shift for tomorrow?" I had to stop and think for bit to see if I am ready to be outside again.

"Uhmm Jordan it was right? Can I give you a call later on the see if I can come in for you?" I asked, "Yeah that sounds okay to me just call the shop I'll be here until close." I hung up the phone "What is wrong with me I can barely breathe since I heard his voice again I'm not myself and I hate it." This day felt so long I spent most of the time on the couch watch old episodes of Laguna Beach and the hills. I couldn't help but think of Ren what it would be like just hanging out just watching tv drinking tea, but as quick as those thoughts poured into my head I snapped back to reality. Someone as washed up as me he would never want.

I was about to get up from a day well spent on a couch and wash-up for the evening when my phone rang... it was Ren I don't want him I don't want to feel this way about him. Deep inside I want him ... I think. The phone gets to this last ring and I pick up yet again. His voice and his words just sing to my heart and ears. He invited me to his company dinner I wasn't to sure about it but everything he has done for me how could I say no?

He was in a rush had some earns to run so our conversation was cut short, but as soon as we went our ways I hear a knock at my condo door. I grab my red long silk robe hanging from the dining room chair. Seeing King the other day really messed me up I slowly walk towards the door and take a look threw the peak hole to my surprise it was the doorman from that day.
