Hard Knocks

Chapter 9 " Savior"

Rock

I sat in the booth at McDonalds stirring my coffee waiting for Nia to appear.

The sound of her voice alerted that something was wrong.

I saw her pulling up in the parking lot.

She got out her car pulling on the strings of her hoodie.

It was a lil windy outside.

She spotted me as soon as she came in giving me a brief smile.

As she got close I see the bruise on her cheek which anger me.

Nia is too nice of a woman for somebody to be putting they hands on.

" who hit you " I said before she could  get a word out.

She bent her head down.

I thought of ole boy who she is with.

He look like he beat women too.

" is it that guy you with "

She nodded her head.

That's probably why she ran from me earlier.

I saw lil droplets coming down her face.

I got on the side of the same booth as her as I guide her to lay her head on my shoulder.

" h-he such an evil man "

She was really hurt and I felt like their is nothing I can do.

" stay with me "

She looked at me with her teary eyes.

" I can't do that I don't wanna place my burden on you "

" it's cool ma ion wanna see you like this " I said staring down at her.

I wanted sooo bad to kiss her and let her know it will be okay, but I knew it would be wrong and not the right time.

" t-thank you "

I didn't know what I was getting myself into.

***********

" Thank you again "

" you good "

I was making palet on my floor.

" now I feel bad, you're sleeping on the floor "

I laughed at her kindness.

" it's fine I slept on the floor billions of times " I said speaking the truth.

" no this it not right, come up here " she said patting the spot next to her.

" Im good Nia get some rest "

" you sure ?"

" yea "

" ok ... good night " she said laying down.

I cut off the lamp light going to bed.
