Chapter 2: First Date

I woke to the sound of a baby crying, I looked around the room confused, then it dawned on me, that was my beautiful baby boy. I took the precious fragile boy in my arms and kissed the top of his head,

“Hi Jeremy, you must be hungry my love.” I took a bottle from the tray and began feeding him.

Tomorrow I was about to be released from the hospital and take my little man home, that excited me but also made me nervous. It reminded me of everything I was running from and I hoped he wouldn’t find us.

I wasn’t sure if he would hurt Jeremy but I was more then certain he would hurt me and I would take yet another beating. I looked at Jeremy and his big brown eyes as he satisfied his hunger.

Flashback

As I walked out of the dinner after my shift, I looked at my phone. I had a new message from Darren,

D: Hey beautiful, I am running a bit late ill be there as soon as I can. I hope you will wait for me.

I starred at the screen for a bit, this was ridiculous I was tired and just wanted to go to bed but instead I was standing here waiting for a man I don’t even know to show up. I couldn’t shake the way he eyed me with complete satisfaction and the hope in his eyes when he asked me for my number.

K: How long is a bit late?

Almost immediately I received a response,

D: Give me like 10 minutes, I’m almost done and I’ll be there, I’m just up the street.

I looked both ways almost expecting to see him walking or driving down the street but the road was dead. It was 7 on a Sunday morning, no one was up why was he even up. I decided to walk to my car and sit in there while I waited.

K: I’m in my car, if you don’t hurry I might just fall asleep waiting for you.

D: I have no problems waking you up!

I rolled my eyes, as I was going to flirt a bit ask him how he would plan on doing that I heard a knock on my window. I looked up and my eyes instantly met his brown eyes.

He immediately ran to the passenger side and jumped in,

“Hey beautiful, what do you want to do?” he smiled at me.

His smile was breathtaking, it made my stomach fill with butterflies and my heart skip a beat. I couldn’t help my attraction to him, I stared at his large full lips and I pushed myself towards him. He wrapped his arms around my waist and smashed his lips against mine, I pushed my tongue into his mouth and gently began to massage his. He tasted like peppermint strongly, I assumed he just finished chewing gum. His kiss was rough just like he was, I felt adrenaline go through my veins as I realized I was kissing a complete stranger.

I felt his hand cup my ass as he gave both my cheeks a tight squeeze which caused me to whimper. He chuckled under his breath, I pulled away before things would get out of hand. He gave me a shy smile,

“Now is there anything else you had in mind?”

He watched me as he was biting down on his bottom lip. That made things very difficult to even think about anything else, I had to think of something else,

“What do you do for a living?” I asked him.

He thought about it for a minute, “I’m in pharmaceuticals. That’s why I’m always up, do you want to see?”

I nodded my head, I wasn’t really sure what he meant. He then told me to start the car and he would give me directions.

We drove a street over and he told me to pull in to this shady looking motel. He got out of the car and told me to come in, I looked at the motel and it looked extremely run down. I hesitated to follow him, but I was too stubborn to turn around now, I wanted to know and now I would need to stick through this.

As we walk up to the front door, there are 2 guys standing outside smoking, when they see us the guys light up and walk over to us. My first instinct was to run the other way, I felt Darren grad my hand as we made our way to the two guys.

They both looked similar, like gangsters. They had on baggy clothes almost falling down them, the one man had tattoos covering his face and the other man looks quite out of it.

The man with the tattoos walked up to Darren and gave him a hug,

“Bro, where have you been? Check your fucking phone! Ethan has been feeling pretty rough, think you can get me about 20?”

Darren nodded, and walked me towards the door, the guy noticed me,

“Whose this bro? Damn can I have your job?”

Darren immediately turned around and shoved him against the wall,

“This is my girl, Kay. You treat her with fucking respect or your fucking done bud.”

He let him go, gave me a small smile and walked me into the door. I was trying to process everything, I’m pretty sure this guy is a drug dealer, and I think he just claimed me as his girl.

As we walked in I noticed the outside was much nicer, this place was old and had a stale smell through it. There was a bar off to the side with some people drinking it was morning, he brought me up the stairs and there was a long hallway with several doors. None of the doors had room numbers or anything on them, he opened up one of the door and signed for me to go in.

I was beginning to get nervous trying to figure out what I was about to get myself into, as I walked in the door I noticed the room was pretty empty. I looked around there was a nice dinning room table and chairs and 2 gigantic safes in the corner.

He looked at me trying to read me as I tried to take it all in,

“Sorry about earlier, it’s just your not the type of girl to come around here. Mostly it's drug addicts or hookers who come around and I just wanted to make it clear your not up for grabs.”

I nodded, then I needed to ask him,

“Are you a drug dealer?”

He nodded,

“Yeah I have been since I was 14, it’s a adrenaline rush and everyday it’s a party. It’s sort of awesome, but it’s easy to lose track of time.”

I nodded, looking around the room. The room itself looked old and run down but all the stuff in it was new and nice looking. I didn’t really know what to say, I didn’t do drugs and never met a drug dealer. I didn’t quite understand the concept of it all, I thought about it and once I was a cop I wouldn’t be able to have much fun like this maybe this was my chance.

He looked at me over, I can tell he was unable to read my emotions,

“So what do you think? Are you with me?”
