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

Lena When I opened my eyes, Max wasn't in the living room, and neither was Jake. I guessed, maybe he took him for a walk. It was dark outside though and the rain was still pouring down. My shoes were off and I had the same blanket over me. He did take care of me better than my parents ever did. I lazily stayed laying on the couch, I didn’t want to move, it was too cozy to resist. After a few minutes, the door opened and a wet Jake ran towards me with his tail wagging excitedly. I kissed his brown muzzle and petted his coat. Max came walked towards us with an almost wet paper bag on hand and a soaked hoodie. "I brought dinner. I’m not the cooking dinner type of guy" he announced with a serious face. All I wanted to say was that he was the best type of guy, but I didn't have the courage. "Thank you, for everything" I softly said, but he didn't pay me any attention. I deserved that. We spread the food on the table and we ate together in awkward silence, at least for me, be

Lena Jake sat on the floor right next to Max, as a loyal dog, he was into a deep sleep and was dreaming because he made puppy-like sounds and his body was slightly shaking. I loved this feeling, this warmth, this peace. I approached Max and laid right next to him on the wide couch. He shifted immediately to accommodate me and put me into his strong arms. Maybe he wasn't asleep after all. I swallowed hard and took a deep breath while smelling him in. He shifted his weight a little bit to squeeze me between the sofa's back and his body. Even like that he was concerned about my injured arm and made sure he didn't hurt it. My lips almost touched his throat and I took another deep breath. I felt his hands searching for bare skin under my shirt. His eyes were still closed and his breath was steady and hot. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep. The sound of the rain made our situation even cozier. Under these conditions, I highly doubt if I could fall asleep, but after a while that fe

Max I gave Lena two days of peace. We just hang out casually, no stress, no worries, she deserved it after all. I haven't asked her anything about her car living situation or about the mother fucker who attacked her. I loved seeing her smile and I knew she needed a little space, to calm down and adjust to her new reality living with me, so I was patient. I was impressed with myself for allowing a woman that I barely knew to live with me. But with Lena, everything seemed so easy, even though it wasn't. I did enjoy seeing her every day, so what could go wrong? I was glad she shared what happened that night at the theater's parking lot and about this guy. The fact that she didn't call me for help not only annoyed me but got me mad. I would drop everything to go help her. Who wouldn't? Plus, I didn’t see any friend calling her to check if she is alright. I send this guy's description and every detail I could collect from Lena to some friends of mine in the police department to ma

Max It was almost night fall, and we were sitting lazing on the couch chatting and laughing, like we knew each other for years. I liked staring at a smile on her face, it made her more beautiful by the day. Our romantic atmosphere got disturbed when her phone rang. "Hello" she said and continued "Oh, Peter, yes I remember you. How are you?" there was a small pause and then "Oh..." and then "I..." I gave her a sharp look. Why was she stalling? Just hang up already. And then some more stammering... "Seriously?" I laughed at her and grabbed her phone, put it in front of my mouth, and said "She is not interested man, sorry" and then hung up. She shyly smiled at me and I pushed her back against the couch with me on top of her. I spread her legs with my knees and I heard her faint sigh. "I hope I didn't ruin your chances with him" I whispered and took her pants off. "You were very rude" she whispered back and helped me take my shirt off, as she slowly touched my abs an

Max One meeting after the other. Work had drained all my energy today. I have always preferred working in the field, rather than spend the whole day in an office, but it is what it is. I could easily return back to my previous post, but that would mean traveling all the time, and I quite liked staying in one place. I have Jake now, and I couldn't take the poor dog around the world on a plane all year, and certainly not to the places they usually deploy me. I entered my apartment, almost dragging my feet inside. I frowned instantly, as a very annoying and distinguished perfume scent rushed through my nose... my mother was there. Shit! I walked inside and I saw her sitting on my couch sipping some wine. Jake was on the balcony and I rushed to the glass window door. Damn her, she left the poor dog without water outside in this heat! Jake ran to his water bowl immediately and galloped it all. "Seriously, Karen, are you here to kill my dog?" I tried not to yell at her, but could
It's Fine, I am Fine! Chapter 26
Lena My new job at the candy shop was looking good so far. The money was better considering I couldn't get more as a cashier. I also searched the local public colleges for programs once more, but from what I had have gathered, I wasn't eligible for anything. My high school GPA was way too low and the tuitions were very expensive. The bank denied me a loan too many times, as they said I need to build my credit first. How could I build my score when I live in my car? Living with Max was indeed helpful and I could save some money. But I couldn't just stay with him without paying for something. My conscience couldn't allow that. He was so carrying and understanding, affectionate and honest, he treated me right and he accepted me the way I was. The last thing I wanted was for his family to think I was someone that took advantage of all of that. I had an impulsive idea this morning and went to the stores and bought him a gift. I was reluctant to give it to him since it was the first t

Lena I was so nervous I felt my stomach ache. I haven't eaten anything all day and I haven't felt hungry either. I bought a new dress for the occasion and Max made fun of me, as he tried to lighten up the mood. His mother already thought the worst of me, so at least I would be presentable and not a slob. Although, I didn't overdo it with the dress, as I bought the simplest, I could find. Not too flashy, because that wasn't me in any way, shape, or form and in black color, because besides being elegant it was my favorite color. Max wore something meticulous and simple as well and looked great as always. I was silent the whole drive to their house and Max tried to make small talk but didn't help. "I can turn this car around if you want" "No, no. I'm fine. I just need to collect myself. I never met anyone's parents before, Max. Well, actually I never was in a together thing before" I winked at him and made him smile. "Well if that counts, I never brought anyone home bef
