“Girl, when I need something, it doesn’t just show up next to me, I have to get up and get it or go look for it.”
Brenya had gone back to her room, writing down all the things she had thought was normal.
How she often knew that people were lying, or telling the truth as well.
It was often and she knew that it was also not normal.
If it was, there would be a person at every single jail, seeing who told the truth and who lied.
It was a big thing to have. And she had never told anyone she could do it.
She shut her eyes and tried to sleep, but it felt as if she wasn’t whole. As if her heart was too sick and sad to sleep fully.
She had given up, trying out her magic as the night had slipped by.
She loved it. And couldn’t wait to show it to Jensynn.
First though, she had to change, and pack. And figure out the next step.
She had asked her mom to keep paying her half of the rent, and her mom had agreed.
Now she had to talk to Eryka. But when she knocked on her best friend’s door, it wasn’t answered.
Brenya was confused at first, but since she was normally at work all the time she forgot that Eryka opened the salon once a week, and that it was her day.
Brenya sighed, hating that she would have to wait to see Jensynn until after she had talked to Eryka.
She took a shower, changed into the white sparkly panties, and was glad she had picked them out.
She then dressed in her favorite red sweater and blue jeans.
And just as she was finished putting make-up on when a knock sounded at her door.
When she opened the door, the last person she ever expected to see was there and she went to slam it shut, but his palm shoved it open and she fell back, stumbling back from the force of it.
“Alan! What are you doing here?”
He calmly shut the door behind him, and then locked it.
That click made her shudder and stand up straight, backing away from him as he turned and watched her with sinister eyes.
“We were so rudely interrupted the other day. And then you up and quit on me. I had to find out your address from my mother. She only wants us to be together. She encouraged me to come find you.”
She hit the wall and started edging her way toward the hallway, needing to get away from him.
He moved toward her and with each step she wanted to flinch, but didn’t.
When he was right in front of her, he smiled down at her.
“We are going to be explosive. I just know it. From the start, I knew you belonged to me. Your tight little body was ripe for the picking, and yet my mother told me I had to wait. Wait until you were ready. I had to turn my attention to other girls and while they were fun little distractions for a while, they weren’t you.”
“Except, I waited too long. You went and found someone else! But he can’t have you. You are mine!”
He lunged at her and she screamed, bringing her knee up, and nailing him right between the legs.
He fell to his knees, cupping himself and she ran to her room, slamming the door behind her, putting a chair under the handle.
She looked for her phone and realized it was in the bathroom, and she let out a moan.
