Katelyn POV

Both me and Nina get into the car, without thinking twice about it. How the hell is Rick here? He wasn’t supposed to be here today. Was he in the club as well? Oh how I hope he wasn’t. I started to regret what I did in the club, maybe I took it too far. First of all I know that Rick hates when I’m being ‘too sexy’ with the guys, and I’m in a relationship with him, regardless the fact that I’m not happy with it.

He was driving quietly and I could feel the tension building up. “You finished early from the meetings you had sweetie?”
“If I’m still during the meetings you think I would be here picking you up?” I stay quiet, and I feel Nina squeezing my shoulder from the back. That is a clear sign, a one I understand immediately: I should stay quiet.

The whole ride was tensed and quiet, and I was dreading the moment Nina had to get out of the car. I kissed her good night.
“Please Katie call me once you get home…safely”, she whispers in my ear. I nod, “Yes, I will don’t worry about me I’ll be ok”. Will I?


Brian POV

“Get in”.

Who the hell is this guy? He was looking at Katelyn. I noticed she tensed up, staring at him. She told me she had to go, and from behind her I could see Nina with a worried look. Is he Katelyn’s boyfriend?

I continue to think about this guy and Katelyn while I was running towards the other guys. Johnny was still kissing the stripper, damn even outside the strip club boy?

“Where have you been Haner? I thought you said you wanted to get out for a smoke”, asked Zacky.
“Yeah I did, but then I ended up talking to Katelyn.” They all looked at me blankly. “Miss K”.
They all made noises. “Oh Miss K, the same girl that drank a shot from your pants. That was one sexy scene Brian’, grinned Matt.
“Yeah that same girl”.
The stripper stopped kissing Johnny when we started to talk about Katelyn. “Katelyn is the best, one of the most down-to-earth persons I know. And sexy for sure, guys sure fight for her every single night. I feel sorry for her because of that damn boyfriend of hers.”

I needed to know more so I question her. “You know him?”
She scoffs, “Uhmm..duhh he’s the club owner. He’s my boss. He’s an ass, but pay us well. That is the reason why I’m still here”.
Wow. This turned out into a more complicated situation…Katelyn has an abusive boyfriend who happens to be her boss as well? No doubt she got afraid when she saw him in the car.

After our little small talk we all get into our cars and head home.
“You like Miss K don’t you?”, Zacky asks. I pretend I didn’t listen to him and continue staring out of the car window.
“HANER!” and he hits me in my chest.
“What? You fucker that hurts!”
“Answer the damn question. You like Miss K right?”
“Why are you asking me this?” I try to avoid the question, but I know the truth in my heart.
“Whenever she performed I saw you looking at her by the railings. And she chose you for the show from all of the guys. I bet she turned you so on”, he laughs while he parks by the side.
“Listen, you heard what Miss L said. She’s not single, even though he’s an ass. There’s nothing I can do, but just to go to the club and watch her perform”.
“I take it that you want to go once more Gates”, he smirks.
I get out of the car since I’ve arrived at my house, “What do you think? And from what I’ve seen you weren’t disappointed either Zack.”
He starts the engine once more. “Nope not at all, in fact I would love to go again maybe I’d get to see them again. Who knows, maybe I’ll be lucky as well and get chosen for a lap dance”.
“You don’t have my looks so good luck for that”
“Fuck off! I’ll see you tomorrow at Matt’s house.”, and he drove off. One more time to the club, one more time to see Miss K.


Katelyn POV

When we arrived home, we headed upstairs in complete silence. What is wrong with him? He’s making me on edge: every move, every look that he does.

“Did you come by the club or not?”, I asked while taking off my coat.
“Nope”, he asks coldly looking at me.
We keep staring at each other as he starts moving towards me. I feel myself trembling.
“Who were you talking to Katelyn?” he asks clearly.
“When?”
“Don’t play dumb with me. That guy outside the club, when I picked you up. Who is he?”
Shit he’s talking about Brian. I need to think of an excuse real quick.

“I’m talking to you Katelyn”. I see his wrists are tightly closed. I start to step backwards as he keeps coming forward.
“Rick it’s not what you think. His name is Brian and….”
Raising his voice he said, “How do you know Brian? What were you doing with him back there?”
“I got to know him from the club. All I know is his name I swear.” I wasn’t going to tell him that we exchanged numbers, he’ll kill me for sure. “And there was Nina with us as well, she knows him”
“I don’t fuckin care about Nina, she can fucks him for all I care. I care about you. You, understood? You know how much I hate when I catch you talking to guys, flirting with guys…”
“But Rick we were just talking, nothing more I swear”

BAM! The next thing I know I feel a sharp pain on my head and I fall flat on the floor. He comes yelling in my face but I cannot understand everything that he’s saying due to the dizziness. I can only understand a couple of words… “bitch”, “whore”, “cheater”, “skank”, “kill you”, “kill him”. I hold my head in my hands while laying on the floor. I can’t bear with the pain when he kicks me in my ribs. A sharp pain goes through my body from my ribs to my back, I cannot hold my tears and screaming due to the pain. It was too much.

He leaves. He leaves the house and I can hear the car engine fading away. I’m still on the floor, hands on my ribs, whimpering in pain. I lift my shirt up and can see the bruise already forming. Still on the floor I grab my phone from my bag and call the first number that was there, still crying from all the pain.

“Nina, Nina please I need you to come home. My head hurts….my ribs are killing me…can’t get up..sorry Nina but I need you….” I sob while I try to make perfect sense.
“Katelyn? What happened? What’s wrong?” I realize that it wasn’t Nina, I hear a male voice on the line.

I look at the caller id and realize that it wasn’t showing Nina, there was another name written: Brian. Shit.

“Oh hi Brian, I was supposed to call Nina, called you by mistake sorry. Good night”. When I’m about to end the call I hear him say, “No don’t hang up, tell me where you are I’m coming”. I cannot refuse that offer. I am in too much pain and I need someone. But I know that he cannot come to my home, if Rick gets to know he’ll kill us both.

“Katelyn, where are you? I’m already in my car”.

I’m sorry Brian, I hope you won’t get into trouble for this. “This is my address……”
