The Ugly Side of Me Is Strong
Chapter 15
He lay down beside me facing me. I groaned loudly and stretched my arms above my head.
“I need to take a shower.” I pointed out.
He nodded and went and grabbed me a shirt from his dresser. I slowly sat up, still a little lightheaded when a sudden pain shot through my lower half.
“Oww!” I moaned.
I looked down. My hips were definitely were bruised. There were fingertip sized bruises up and down my hips and sides. I stood up wrapping the sheet around me and went to the mirror with my back facing it. Looking back I discovered claw marks down the middle of my back. My jaw dropped.
He was in the mirror now looking up and down my back then to me. I turned my head to face him.
“I’m sorry.” He said quietly.
“I’ll be easier next time I promise.”
I smiled and nodded looking in the mirror at my back. This weird feeling bubbled up inside of me. I forgot about my hips and legs aching and my back burning and I realized that in some weird sicko way, I liked it that those marks were there…
I tried to hide my smirk but he caught it.
“What’s so funny?”
I looked back at him.
“Nothing.” I lied.
“I’m gonna take a shower.”
I walked past him and he grabbed my arm pulling me into a kiss. Smiling as I pulled away, the thought crossed my mind of what would happen if I ever tried to take control of him. I’m sure he’d never have it.
“What?” he grinned.
I shook my head and grinned even more.
“I’m going to the shower.”
And he let me go and I went to take the shower.
When I stepped out of the bathroom, Brian was laying on the bed with his hands behind his head with his eyes closed. I walked a little closer and his eyes opened and looked at me. I smiled softly and sat down beside him.
“What are you doing?” I asked.
“Just laying here.”
“You tired?”
He shook his head.
“No, just resting.”
A loud buzz came from across the room. My pants!
“Shit!” I cursed.
I knew who it was before I even took my phone out of my pocket.
“Hello?” I cringed.
“Where the fuck are you, Cat?” Alec hollered from the other end.
“Um, I’m sorry Alec I…”
“You know what? Save it!” He cut me off.
“But…”
“No, you’re done here, Cat. If you can’t even show up anymore when you’re scheduled I’m not even going to bother with you!”
“Alec i…
He hung up. I sighed heavily and closed my eyes trying to take in a deep breath. I collapsed on the bed with a groan.
“Was that your boss?” Brian questioned.
I nodded, not opening my eyes.
“Lose your job?’
I nodded again.
“I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be. I hated it there anyway. But now I have to find a new job otherwise I’ll lose my apartment.” I explained.
He was quiet.
“Well, don’t worry about it.”
“How am I suppose to not worry about it?”
“You can stay here.”
I opened an eye to look at him.
“Really?”
He nodded.
“I mean… you sure?”
“Yes. You can stay here.”
I was a little shocked at his sudden offer. I rolled on my side to look at him.
“Don’t you think that’s moving a little fast? We just got together all of like thirty minutes ago.” I laughed lightly.
He shrugged.
“I’d rather you be here. We’d be closer.”
We would be closer, he was right about that. But what would I tell people. What would Sam say? Or my mother? Oh lord, my mother. She’d have a cow for sure.
“I do need to find a job though.”
I didn’t want to be mooching off of him.
“You don’t have to…” he began but I cut him off.
“No, I need to. I don’t want to mooch off of you.”
“Well, whatever you want. It doesn’t matter to me.”
I had closed my eyes again, just thinking. It would be really nice to live her and get out of my crappy apartment but should I have my own room or stay with him? Should I bring all of my stuff here? I don’t know.
“Do you want to stay here? You could have your own room if you wanted.”
I opened my eyes again and looked at him.
“Yeah, I’d like that.’
“Good.” He smiled.
“We can go get your stuff sometime.”
“Well what do you want to do in the mean time?”
“I don’t know.” I shrugged.
“Wanna watch some tv?”
“You have a tv?”
He laughed.
“No, I’ve never heard of that. What is that?”
“Oh hush.” I smiled back at him.
We made our way downstairs to the den.
“Why did I never notice it there before?” I asked, pointing at the tv on the opposite wall to the fireplace.
I cuddled under a blanket nice to him and watched as he flipped through the channels. we finally decided on some stupid SyFy movie. It was nice to have a good laugh.
“I need to take a shower.” I pointed out.
He nodded and went and grabbed me a shirt from his dresser. I slowly sat up, still a little lightheaded when a sudden pain shot through my lower half.
