"Lets go to McDonalds," AJ suggested as we were walking out of my apartment.
"Ok," I agreed and we got into his Black Mercedes. We drove to McDonalds and went inside.
"AJ!" a girl exclaimed behind us. AJ and I both turned around and Katie was standing there smiling. I was shocked, I cant believe she had the nerve to talk to us after this afternoon.
I turned around and moved up in the line as the guy in front of us moved. AJ didnt move though. Now, him and Katie were standing together. I couldnt understand what they were talking about, but they talked until I stepped up to tell the guy what I wanted.
"Can I help you?" the guy asked.
"Yeah, I just want a cheeseburger kids meal please," I said.
"What kind of drink?" he asked.
"Orange soda," I answered. I handed the guy a five dollar bill and got meal and left, not even bothering to grab my change.
"Melissa!" AJ called as I walked out onto the playground. I sat down and took out my fries and began to munch on them.
AJ came through the door leading out to the playground and sat down in front of me. I didnt even bother looking at him. But then I thought about it, its not like it was his fault Katie was there.
"I didnt know she was going to be here," he told me.
"I know, Im sorry," I said turning to mush when he spoke. AJ smiled and kissed my forehead.
"Now, Im going to go get something to eat. I'll be right back (last rule to a horror movie- never say I'll be right back)," AJ said and got up from the table.
"Melissa?" came a male voice from behind me. I turned around and saw my ex-boyfriend, Josh standing behind me. No, this cant be happening. Lets just say I dont get along too well with Josh.
"Hi Josh," I mumbled. What a small world.
"Hey, what have you been up to," he said taking a seat from across me. I rolled my eyes and looked away.
"Nothing," I groaned.
"You look good," he grinned.
"I know," I spat.
Ok, that may have sounded conceited, but you wouldve said it too if you knew how Josh was. He was always causing trouble and taking things the wrong way.
"You're still bitter about me cheating on you?" he asked.
I looked at him now. Ok, that was the last thing I needed to be reminded of. Josh was my first, and he really hurt me when he cheated on me with my EX-best friend, Raquel.
"Asshole," I said throwing my soda all over his white Nautica shirt. I got up from the table and walked into the building right when AJ was walking out.
"Who was that?" AJ asked looking over at Josh.
"Someone I didnt want to see," I said, tears glistening in my eyes.
"What'd he say to you?" AJ asked concerned.
"Nothing, can we just go?" I asked.
"Yeah, if you want," AJ agreed his food in a bag in his hand, my food in my hand. We walked out of there and got into his Mercedes. I looked over at Josh and made eye contact with him. He was shocked.
I turned and looked at AJ and smiled. He smiled back and pulled out of the parking space and sped out of there. I couldnt wait to get home.
When we got to my apartment we sat down in front of the television and ate our dinner. We were watching Grease, which was on tv. AJ had his arm around me and I felt so safe in his arms. He held me like he never wanted to let go. I was so content that I fell asleep right there and slept peacefully through the night.
The next morning I woke up, just in time to start getting ready for work. I got out of AJ's arms without waking him and took a shower. I changed into tight black dress pants and a red dress shirt. I let my long dark hair lay straight against my back and applied my makeup.
When I walked out to the living room, AJ was watching tv. I smiled and sat down next to him.
"Good morning," I beamed.
"Morning beautiful,"AJ said and kissed me. What a nice way to start the day off! After about ten minutes, it was time for me to go.
"Have a great day," he said as he leaned down to look into my car window.
"I will," I assured him.
"Can I take you out to dinner tonight?" he asked. I nodded and looked down shyly. He lifted my chin with his hand and kissed me so sweetly I thought I was going to melt.
Finally I was off to work. I couldnt think of anything but AJ.
~Later~
"This is not happening," I complained as I leaned my head back against the elevator walls. The elevator was stuck. Great. Just great!
"You ok?" a guy next to me ask. It was just him and I in the elevator.
"Yeah, I'll live. Im just supposed to meet my boyfriend for dinner tonight," I explained. It was nice to call AJ my boyfriend. He fit the title perfectly.
"Oh, my wife is going to pissed," he told me.
"Well, for your sake I hope we get out of here soon," I smiled.
"She just had a baby," he told me.
"Aww! Do you have pictures?" I asked excited. I love babies.
"Of course," he said pulling out his wallet and showing me a picture of a beautiful baby girl.
"She's beautiful!" I exclaimed.
"Thanks," he gushed.
"Is that your wife?" I asked pointing to the picture above the baby picture.
"Yes, I love her with all my heart, but I dont think she loves me," he said sadly. I guess he really needed someone to talk to, bc he was telling a complete stranger.
"Oh, that's sad, why?" I asked looking up at him. I was completely interested.
"She blames everything on me and always spends all my money," he shrugged.
"Well, you seem like a really nice guy. I cant imagine someone doing that to you," I sympthasized.
"Could YOU love me?" he asked looking at me. It was like he was burning a hole in my head.
"Excuse me?" I asked a little taken aback.
"You're beautiful, could you love me?" he asked.
"Uhh, I think I'll leave that to your wife," I said a little uneasy.
"She hasnt made love to me in ten months! Ten months!" he shouted at me. I jumped back. What a freak!
"Um, they have doctors for couples who are having trouble, maybe you should try one," I suggested, letting out a nervous laugh.
"I have the perfect opportunity to get a good fuck right now," he said moving towards me.
"No, really, Im terrible. Awful, disgusting!" I tried to convince him. He was really starting to scare me.
"Maybe I should make my own opinion," he said pinning me between him and the wall. My heart was pounding as I felt the tears build up in my eyes. I was so scared that it was unexplainable. I wish AJ was here.
He started feeling up my thigh. Thank G-D I was wearing pants. I pushed his hand aways and ducked to get under his arms.
"Good idea," he said shoving my head in his crotch. I bit as hard as I could.
"Son of B*tch!" he screamed grabbing his crotch and falling to his knees. I ran to the doors and started screaming.
"Help!"I screamed! I pushed to the red button on the elevator and screamed more.
"B*tch!" he grabbed the back of my hair and pulled me to him. The tears were now flowing freely down my face.
I screamed in pain and went to kick him in the groin, but he caught my leg and pushed me down on the ground. I scrambled to get up, but he was on top of me, making it difficult to move.
He moved his hands up my shirt, I tried to push them out of my shirt, but wasnt successful. Just then the bell for the elevator doors sounded. He jumped off me and straightened my clothes.
I got up and cried hysterically.
"You tell anyone, I'll kill you," he barked and then the doors opened.
Just then I saw the best thing. Nick, I ran up to him. He saw my tears and pleaded for me to tell him what happened.
In case you dont know, I work for a department store, I was coming down the elevator from the top floor, where I worked. That guy was just a customer, Im assuming.
"Nick, he hurt me," I said pointing to the guy who was just now walking out of the department store. Nick ran after him and stopped him. I had just caught up with him when I saw him hit the guy across the face. The guy fell to the ground and didnt move. I looked down at the guy shocked.
Nick put his arm around me and walked me to my car.
"I'll drive you home. One of the guys can take me to get my car later," Nick said getting in the drivers seat. I dont what I wouldve done if Nick wasnt there. It was weird how he was there. But I wasnt about to wonder, I was just glad.
