Selenes POV
Christmas Day
“Michael still likes Mac and cheese, right?”
My mom asks as she’s busting herself in the kitchen as I think about last night.
Last Night
“You can atleast pretend to love me damn it!” Michael yells fuming in the ears.
“But I don’t Michael and you know this! Just get out with all your whining!”
He walks closer to my face and I’m trapped in the corner of the room. “You embarrassed me in front of our parents.” He grits through his teeth.
“Well stop trying to kiss me! You’re embarrassing yourself!” I yell tempting to push him back but he grabs my arms and holds me to the wall roughly. “Michael let go. You’re hurting me.”
He smiles sinisterly. “I’m sorry Sel, I just miss your lips so much on mine. Let me just have a taste before you go back to that dyke.”
He says leaning in and I move my face and go to scream but he covers my mouth and pushing my hands behind my back with the other. “Oh come on why does she get to have all the fun? They won’t hear you all the way over here anyway.” I stare in his eyes and sense nothing but hatred and evil.
He pushes me on the bed and goes to lock the door and then comes back to lay on top of me. I fight him off. “Michael stop! I swear!” I yell but he grabs my arms again and maneuvers himself between my legs while I have on my night gown. I scream and he puts his lips on mine to muffle it out when he unbuckles and pulls down his dress pants. “Michael please.”
“Be a good girl for me and take it like you used to.” He says smirking while kissing on my neck. He inserts himself and my eyes scrunch together in pain from being so dry and how hard he’s going. “Oh shit, I missed this.” He hums and tears fall from my face. “Don’t worry baby, I know you’re planning to end it so I won’t trap us with a baby. I’m just going to enjoy this one last time.” He laughs and I stare out wishing Jordyn was here to help me like any other time he cornered me. I feel him slow down and his moans get disoriented and he quickly pulls out. Atleast he has the decency to not do it on me. “Fuck. Thanks.” He breathes out and kisses my forehead forcefully and then leaves the room.
Immediately I feel cold and lost and I don’t know what to do.
Present
“Honey?” I hear my moms voice and I blink away the memory.
“Yes?” I say tiredly.
“Long night?” She wiggles her eyebrows and I cringe internally at her insuation but give a smile and nod. “Good I’m expecting grandchildren soon.” She says and I scream again internally.
“What about grandchildren?” My dad asks kissing my mom on the cheek and Michael following right behind him and kissing my cheek. I don’t pull away this time.
“Oh we’re working on that for you Olivia, aren’t we babe?” He asks giving me a knowing look and I give a half smile and nodding.
Everyone goes back to their conversations and I take that as my time to leave but the sound of the doorbell ringing ceases all movement and conversation. “Who could that be?” My mom asks sliding the Mac and cheese into the oven as my dad goes to answer the door.
“Probably Joe asking for last minute ingredients Mary wants him to get from the store. Lazy ass.” He mumbles and goes to the door. “Can I help you?” He asks the person at the door but I can’t make out a voice so I go to hide in my room until dinner. “Well any friend of Selies is a friend of ours.” He says and I freeze at the nickname for me.
I turn the corner slowly. Why would Zarina be here? She knows my family are assholes. My eyes widen at the 6’0 figure of my girl- ex girlfriend standing in a black turtleneck, black jeans, timbs and tan overcoat. Fuck she’s sexy. Wait why is she here? She smiles sheepishly when she sees me peeking around the car. “Hey you.” She says.
My mouth agape’s. So it isn’t a dream? I walk up to her cautiously. “Jordyn?” She nods. Tears begin to form but she pulls me in for a hug and I immediately reciprocate smelling lavender. We pull away and I feel cold.
“Oh my goodness and who is this? You are quite beautiful darling.” My mom coos at Jordyn whose jaw twitches. She’s uncomfortable because she knows about their views and if they knew about her they wouldn’t be this welcoming.
“I’m Jordyn, a friend of Selenes. We work together.” She says shaking the hand of my mother.
“Jordyn!” Michael brings his presence and immediately wraps his arm around my waist to spite Jordyn whose light greenish eyes are damn near forest green. “What brings you by all the way here?” He asks there’s a slight tremble in his voice.
She smirks. “Selene invited me a few weeks ago. I wasn’t sure I was going to come being busy but I decided why not. It’ll give me the chance to meet her magnificent parents she tells me so much about.” She lies but my dad smiles and places a hand on her shoulder saying he believes her.
“Well the more the merrier. Please Jordyn, tell me about yourself.” My dad says taking her and Michael away to the living room as I stand there still in shock. What the fuck is going on?!
Jordyn’s POV
5 hours before
“So you’re going to drive 4 hours and show up at her parents house to do what again?” Jason asks as he watches me pack.
I shrug and sigh. “Honestly I don’t know. But Zarina says they aren’t opposed to kicking her out and said that she didn’t drive herself and I don’t want to even think about what I’d do to him if he left her stranded just because she didn’t want him.” I say finding myself angry as I throw a shirt in my duffel bag. I look to see him smirking. “What?”
He shrugs. “Oh nothing it’s just that you still care about her after ignoring her for weeks and claiming you’re getting over her. But now you’re about to go play hero.” He said a laughed.
I roll my eyes. “Qualunque cosa. I’ll text you when I get there.” I tell him and head out. I throw my bag in the trunk and drive off following the directions that Zarina gave me.
Last Night
“You want me to go there and see her pretend to be in a relationship with a man we both know we despise?” I ask.
“I’m asking you to be there for the woman you’re in love with when she needs you. And she does need you Jordyn.” She says with a hopeful smile.
I sigh. “How far is she?”
Her smile goes wide.
5 hours later
I’m now sitting in my car contemplating if I should even get out while staring at this beautiful house that was probably built on a plantation. She needs you. Right. So get the fuck out of the car! I take a deep breath and leave my car to walk to the red door.
I hear the voice of a man coming close to the door when it opens revealing a man about 2 inches taller then me and he looks basic, must be her racist father. His face is in shock when he sees me must be the first time someone like me has came on his footstep. “Can I help you?” He asks.
I smile putting on my charm. “Merry Christmas sir, ima a friend of your daughters. She said you wouldn’t mind me stopping by.” I lie right out of my ass.
“Oh any friend of our Sellie is a friends of ours.” I laugh at the nickname and he allows me inside. It’s cozy but still something feels off and not just because I’m scared they’ll burn me at the stake.
I turn my head and see her. Wow she’s still just as ethereal as when I saw her for the first time. All the pain I feel not having her fully went away for the time being just being able to lay my eyes on her again. I feel myself smiling as she got closer. “Hey you.” I say hearing the shakiness in my voice.
She continues to walk up to me clearly in shock that I’m standing in her foyer with her dad. “Jordyn?” Tears begin to form in her eyes and I can feel them coming in mine so I hug her so her dad doesn’t ask questions.
The voice of a woman who I assume is her mother makes her presence and surprisingly she comments on my looks by calling me beautiful but it could be for show like Get Out. I give her smile but that smiled instantly falls when I hear Michael.
“Jordyn!” His arms slips to my girls waist and I see her flinch but no one else notices. “What are you doing here?”
I put up my charm once again and tell them how Selene invited me and then her dad grabs me by the shoulder to take me to the living room with Michael following with visible steam coming from his ears. “So what do you do Jordyn?” Her dad ask.
“I’m a high school gym coach.” I say and his face goes to disapproval but I could care less I’m not here to impress her parents I’m here because she’s going to need me here.
He clears his throat. “You couldn’t find a better job then babysitting sweaty prepubescent children?” He chuckles and Michael follows.
“Yes actually I had a full riding scholarship to go pro in basketball but I turned it down to study in sports medicine and getting my medical degree in it. I got offers to work for the NBA actually but I took the school job because I wish I had a gym coach who cared like I do for the kids now. And I love my job.” I smile smug when they look at me surprised by my resume. “Sir.” I add.
He smiles. “Well that’s amazing. I have a basketball court behind the house I never get out there on my own. Maybe you can show me something.” He says visibly gawking.
“Oh David, I’m sure we can play I don’t mind shooting some hoops.” Michael exclaims pathetically.
“Oh please Mike you wouldn’t want to mess up that suit you pressed all morning.” David says. “Let’s go.” He says getting up and we follow him to the back and get a peek of Selene going into a room on the other side of the house.
We get outside and I take in the view. Wow. For racist, homophobic, bigots they have good taste in houses. “You have a beautiful home sir.” I say honestly.
“Oh please call me David. And thank you it’s all my wife though. I just follow along.” He says chuckling and then takes a ball out the rack.
I take off my coat and catch the ball when he throws it. “First to 11? 1s and 2s only?” I ask and he nods getting in defense position.
