It's Fine, I am Fine! Chapter 13
Lena When I woke up the next morning, Max was already gone to work. The time was almost 7:30. I wondered if he trusted me that much to leave me at his apartment all alone. He barely knew me. I immediately checked my phone, and I had two missed calls from him from yesterday. He did call as he said, I was working at the time and didn't even hear my phone ring. Max: Make yourself at home. Taxi's services number are on the fridge. I read Max’s text and smiled. He was so considerate. Are you alright? Aaron is an asshole! I read a text from Antony and quickly called him. “Hey. Did I wake you up?” “No, Len I’m still awake” "I'm sorry if I put you in an awkward position yesterday” I apologized. “Awkward? Are you freaking kidding me? It felt so good. Fuck that asshole!” he replied cheerfully. “And what do you mean by still awake? You haven't slept yet?” I asked him mischievously, because for Antony to be awake at this time was extremely rare. “I'm goi

Lena I woke up fully rested and fully anticipated for a text from Max. I still got nothing. I wondered what was wrong with him, or if I did something to upset him. I wrote him a message and quickly erased it and shoved my phone into my bag. I drove to my usual gas station to use their bathroom and put a little gas in the car. To be honest, I was a little bit scared to go back there, since the attack and since his appearance at the store yesterday. But I couldn't live in fear. When I parked at the station, I scanned the place around like I was a radar, but the creepy guy wasn’t lurking around. I took a deep breath and went on with my schedule. I checked my phone several times and I still got nothing new from Max. I sighed with frustration. I drove to the restaurant and my lunch shift started smoothly. Aaron and Antony acted as if nothing had happened. Antony smiled the entire time and whispered the word party too many times, I really liked his attitude towards life. It was a

Lena I parked my car at a different gas station, to avoid any surprises. I angrily searched my car for my dress, shoved it into my backpack, and went to the restroom. I was so furious with that lunatic that kept following me that I would even dare drink alcohol tonight. I had only tasted the stuff once, hated it but tonight I wanted to stop thinking and a few drinks would be the answer. Like parents like daughter. I washed my face and applied more make-up than I ever wore before. I even put some eyeliner on my eyes. I haven't used my make-up kit for ages it seemed, I hope make-up doesn't expire. I wore my black wrap dress, that had knee length. Not very sexy, but I allowed its cleavage a lot more open than I usually did. I let my hair loose on my shoulders and brushed them, so they looked stylish or something. Then I applied the only lipstick I owned, a dark red shade one, which thankfully covered the cut on my lip, making it almost invisible, it was like it was never there.

Lena I buzzed M. Walker, and I felt my finger hurt. Like the button was my enemy. After a few seconds, the door opened for me. I took the elevator to the seventh floor and checked myself in the mirror. I was upset but I wanted to look good as well. My heart was pounding, and I felt both angry and stupid at the same time. Why did I need to fight with him? Over what? Was it a lame excuse to see him tonight? I did care to find out what was going on in my head, but it was too late to back out. I wanted to be done with this awful feeling. He was standing on his threshold when I walked to his apartment door. He wore black jeans and a black short-sleeve button-up shirt. Damn, he looked gorgeous. His short hair was messy and had his toned arms crossed in front of his chest. Jake sat next to his feet, wagging his tail excitedly, that made me soften a little bit. He looked at me like I was someone important, unlike his father who had a serious safe on and definitely a defensive stance

Lena My phone rang early in the morning, waking me up abruptly. I groaned and reached for it from my bag on the front seat. I yawned and said "Hello" only to be greeted by an anxious Aaron informing me that my shift was cancelled for today because of something that I couldn't be bothered to hear nor to ask for an explanation, it was fine. So, today I decided to go to all the places I was afraid to go. I cleaned myself at the gas station's bathroom, no creepy guy around today. Then I ate some lunch at that Korean convenient store I like, no creepy guy there either. And after I overcame all my fears I went to the park. I sat on the same bench, even though an elderly couple was occupying it, I sat at the edge. The book was so interesting that I couldn't put it down. I was almost out of coffee, and I didn't have the will to stop reading even for five minutes. My phone rang and I blindly searched my bag, while my eyes were fixated on the pages in front of me. I accepted the cal

Lena Lisa walked in front of me the minute Max left the bar. She put her arms on the counter, without pushing her breasts out this time. "Do you want anything else to drink, honey?" she seemed so bored. "No, I'm fine" I answered while taking my book out of my backpack. "Come on, Max said whatever you drink is on him" Oh, that was why he whispered to her. "I see. But no thanks I'm good" "Come one, maybe champagne?" she insisted. "No, I said I'm good" "Don't be silly, he's paying... take two champagnes!" she laughed. "I don't drink" "Then buy them and give them to me!" she laughed again. Did she think she was funny? "If I want to buy something I'll do it with my own money, so should you" I faked a smile and opened my book in front of me. "Oh, poor Lena, you got a crush on him, don't you? Poor, poor you. Let me tell you something about Max Walker... I know him better than you do. He’ll have fun with you and then off you go. Don't you see that?" I stayed silent. I knew she

Max Can't deal with this girl! One moment she wanted to be with me and the next she pushed me away. So many mixed signals. I was never the begging type, and I that would never change. You should give her another chance... Fuck you! Like she knew everything that was going on with my life. She cared about Sally more than I did. I run across town to my parents' house to pick up crazy Sally, like I had nothing better to do. She had the nerve to stop by their house, and not only that but introduced herself as my fucking fiancé for crying out loud! My mother, Karen, already knew her from some event and she adored her parents, so she invited her inside with no questions asked. Karen didn't care if Sally was drunk and uninvited, she only cared that her parents were loaded, so mommy drooled all over her. My Karen was so delighted with Sally; she even gave me the thumbs up while I dragged her out of their house... well-done son. Fuck you! I struggled to put her in my car, as
It's Fine, I am Fine! Chapter 20
Lena As much as I wanted him here, I needed him to leave. I was a mess, and I couldn't handle his kindness. How could I? I have never had much in my life. People mostly demanded something from me after helping me in any way, but what would he get out of this, sex? I leaned my head to the back of the seat, and gazed at him while he was driving. He looked tired but yet so handsome, he could easily take my breath away anytime he wished. If he desperately wanted to take me home, I'd let him. So, I allowed myself to stare at him until we arrived at my home, I wouldn't have this opportunity after that. I’ll take you home and it's the last thing I’ll do... That couldn’t be further from the truth, and he had no idea how right he was. It would be the last thing he would do for me. I took a deep breath and felt good returning home, or better, to the crime scene. I decided, almost in an instant it seemed, to leave town tomorrow. I would let him drive me there, witness his disappointed
