Beautiful Connection - Chapter 5

" How long are you gonna take woman?"I heard Brett whine from the other room.

I shook my head.

Looking at myself in the mirror one last time , I grabbed my purse and went to the next room.

Brett turned around , he was wearing ,black jeans and a blue shirt.The sleeves were rolled to his elbows and his tattoos looked great.

He kept staring at me.

" What?" I said looking at myself.

" If you get rapped , don't blame me."

" Fuck you."

I chuckled.

I walked to him and he extended his arm.

" I may be the rapist." He whispered in my ear.

That made me shiver.

Shit, not again.

" Dream on."

" Yeah forgot , that punch actually hurt like hell."

I pushed his shoulder.

He chuckled.

" Lets go."

He led me to his car.

" Seriously Trav , just because she has the same character as you doesn't mean you can treat her like dirt."

I heard America say as we were heading their way.

" Don't worry Mare." I said.

They turned around.

" Girl, you look hot." Mare said.

" Likewise." I said.

Abby smiled.

" You came."

" Of course." I smiled at her.

" Brett your car is awesome."Shepley said as he admired Brett's car.

All of a sudden the boys talked about cars.

" So, Raven." America smirked at me.

" Some how , I don't like where this is going." I said.

" Me too." Abby said.

We looked at each other and laughed.

" You and Brett huh." America said.

" No , me and me." I laughed once.

America sulked.

" Nothing at all?"

" Its not so easy being me."

" That sounds like an excuse." She said.

" Well , it may be but really I only had shitty guys in my life, not gonna fall for some pretty face so easily."

" That's what Abby said and look at her she is married."

" Mare." Abby protested.

The boys joined us.

" What are you girls gossiping about?" Shepley asked.

America smirked at me.

" At how Raven thinks Brett has a pretty face."

Brett looked at me.

" Really?" He said grabbing his face.

" Mare , you just busted his ego a whole lot higher."

" Sorry , princess, as I said before, seen better." I winked at him.

He put a hand on his chest and looked hurt.

I rolled my eyes.

" I just saw double." Travis said.

I looked at him.

" You rolled your eyes, Pidge always does that." He said.

" Wow." I said,

" What?"

" You just told me a whole sentence without any hurtful meaning behind it." I put a hand on my mouth and tried to look emotionally.

Everybody started laughed , except for Travis of course , but he is letting it pass.

They started to walk to the restaurant.

I grabbed Brett by the arm.

" You do kinda have a pretty face."I said, winking at him.

He laughed once.

We all headed to our seats.

When the waiter came , she eyed Travis and Brett like they where some dishes to eat.

I rolled my eyes.

America and Abby chuckled softly.

We gave our order and we started to chat.

" Abs?" I head someone say.

A guy came to our table.

" Abs?" I asked.

" Parker." Abby said.

She looked uncomfortable and Travis face contoured to anger. Lets save the day

" Excuse me." I said.

The guy named Parker turned to me.

" Am I seeing double?" He chuckled.

" Yeah , almost , I am Abby , her evil side of course." I said putting my chin on my hands.

He chuckled nervously.

" Sure you are."

I smirked.

" First off , Abs really ? Sure I got a hot body but Abs ? Do you even have abs under that shirt."

I reached out for his shirt but he smacked my hand away.

Brett edged from his seat but I grabbed his hand.

I chuckled and got up to face him.

" You should be more gently to the girl you are drooling over." I said.

" Who's drooling?" He chuckled nervously.

There.

" You are nervous , what for?"

He didn't respond.

" Then how about , you turn your ass and get away from my table , I was so happy before , you came and ruined everything." I pouted.

He stared at me , then turned to face Abby.

" Bye , Abby, hope you are happy this way." He said.

" I am." Abby said.

I grinned.

Parker looked at me and Abby one last time before heading his way.

" I just changed my mind about you."Travis said grinning like an idiot.

When I sat back down , Brett grabbed my hand and squeezed once.

" I just saw Abby turn sexy."America said.

" Pidge is sexy." Travis said.

Abby blushed and kissed Travis cheek.

" Thanks baby."

Everybody laughed.

" But really, you look alike , for cousins." Brett said.

I looked at Abby.

" She is beautiful, plus our eyes and hair are completely different."

" For a girl who seduced a whole patrol station , you really don't believe in yourself do you."Brett said.

" Fuck off." I said.

" Well Pidge does have particular eyes." Travis said turning to his wife with honor.

I smiled.

" Well , you have a very particular honey shade." Abby said looking into my eyes.

" I guess another family gene huh."I said winking at her.

We chatted for hours , not like my character at all , so I am dead tired.

" We are going to dance wanna come?"America said.

Brett looked at me.

I shrugged.

" Sure." He said.

We went to a club called the Red and a bartender named Cami served us.

" Come Raven , lets dance." Abby said.

I shook my head.

" I don't dance." I said.

The girls looked at each other and smiled at me and they went to the dance floor.

" Raven , um , thanks for coming."Travis said loud enough for me to hear.

" Huh , I couldn't hear you ? Was that a thanks coming from your mouth?"

" She is happy to have you." He continued.

" Me too."

I winked at him.

He grinned and went to join his friends on the dance floor.

" Just witnessed another side of Raven Abernathy , Score." Brett said.

I shoved him in the shoulder.

" I'll go for a smoke , save me the seat."

" Sure want to go alone?" Brett asked.

" Sure, I am not a pussy like you."

He smirked.

" You are definitely not."

I winked at him and headed for the door.

Taking a drag from my cigarette calmed the thumping in my head.

" Whats a beautiful creature like you doing here alone ?" A guy came from behind me.

He licked his lips.

Gross.

" I am Ethan , whats your name ?"He said coming closer.

" Come a step closer and I will put this cigarette in your eye."

" Sure you will."

He grabbed my hand and pulled me closer.

Damn , he is strong.

I kicked him but he didn't let go.

A hand landed on the guys shoulder.

" Let her go or you will die."

It was Brett.

His eyes , thirsted for blood , I shivered from his stare.

" Brett Robinson , sorry man , she's your girl?"

He chuckled nervously and stepped away.

I was captivated by that stare , it scared the shit out of me but somehow I couldn't look away.

" Finish the god damn cigarette and get your ass back inside."

He shouted.

" What the fuck man calm your dick."I shouted back.

" I just save your sorry ass of a life you know that right ?"

My sorry ass of a life ?

I glared at him.

" I-- sorr-" He said putting a hand on his face.

" Sure you are." I threw the cigarette and went back inside.

" Wait , Raven." He followed me through the people.

" Go fuck yourself Brett." I said.

I looked for Abby , she was at the bar.

" Hey cousin , I have to go. We still on for tomorrow right ?" I said.

She looked at me then at Brett and got the situation.

" Yeah." She smiled at me.

I gave everyone a hug and left turned without speaking to Brett.

" Goddammit woman stop." Brett shouted from behind me.

" Who the hell do you think you are huh ?" I said turning to face him.

" I just got that rapist out of your ass you know ?"

" Yeah got the point, my sorry ass of a life, yeah thanks Brett." I said turning around and walked away from him.

" How are you getting home ?" He shouted.

" I'll walk." I shouted back.

I heard him shout but didn't give a damn.

The club was just a step away from the apartment , so I removed my heels and walked.

He didn't follow me , somehow that ended up hurting me more.

God dammit girl , don't fall for this,you know better.

My phone chirped it was a message from Abby.

' Brett is pissed as hell , he is drinking everything , gonna take him to our place. Be safe cousin."

' Thanks Abby and sorry about that."

' No problem , just what happened ?'

' Can't get involved.'

' You sound just like me , I know what you feel.'

' You found yourself a good guy Abby ,I am happy for you.'

Suddenly my phone chirped.

" Yeah?"

" Why did that message sound like a goodbye?" Abby asked.

" It didn't , I just need to go somewhere for a few days, I'll be back."

" Don't do this, he will regret it tomorrow."

" I don't know him Abby , plus I came here for you and I really need to go somewhere. I'll be back next week promise." I re-assured her.

I heard her sigh.

" Really promise?" She said.

" Yeah , plus I will call and text.See you in a week."

" See you in a week cousin."

She hung up.

I arrived at the apartment , grabbed all my things and left the spare key on the kitchen table. I tossed everything in the back and started the car.

My phone chirped again, this time it was a message from Brett.

' You are leaving?' He asked.

I didn't respond, for shit sake I was coming back , I just needed to go somewhere alone , this much connection with people wasn't my thing.

It was pitch black and somehow it brought some bad memories , but I pushed it at the back of my head and drove off. If the map was right , there should be a motel I could stay in.

My phone chirped a couple of times till I reached the motel.

I got a room and just stood there in the room looking at my phone.

This time it was a message from Elena ,she said , he is looking for me.

Shit.

No , he can't be.

Thank God he didn't touch her.

All the other messages were from Brett and Abby. Which I didn't feel like answering at this point.I feel on the floor and grabbed my knees.

Calm down Raven , Calm down.

Tears filled my eyes.

One rule still stands, don't cry in front of people.

Why is this happening?
