Brutal Love [BOOK 1]

three ♡ | I Need You.

I was just released from the hospital, and Craig and I are talking almost every second of the day. The police told me to move as soon as possible, because they knew Anthony's friends could come after me. 

I was packing up Troy's clothes, thinking about where I would live without living here. Troy was passing me his clothes while I put them in the box, and my phone rang.

I saw the caller ID and smiled. It read: Craig.  I smiled, and picked it up. I put it on speaker and put it on the carpet floor. "Hey Craig." I said, folding some of Troy's clothes. "Hey cutie, what's up?" I smiled, and bit my lip imagining how sexy he probably looked right now.

"I'm good, just packing up." I said, smiling. "Oh, did you find a place yet?" He asked. "No, and I have to be out of here by tomorrow afternoon. I have no where to go." I said softly, hoping Troy wouldn't hear me. "Y-You can stay with me." he offered, and I thought about it.

Craig did seem really sweet, and him and Troy seemed to be pretty comfortable around each other; I guess I can trust him.

"Really?" I asked excitedly. "Yeah, I have an extra room." He said, I can tell that made him smile. "Thank you so much! I could kiss you right now!" I said, and he chuckled. "Come over here and kiss me then." I bit my lip, and Troy looked at me curiously. "Craig, quit it... you're on speaker and Troy's in the room." I whispered into the phone.

"Oh, sorry. You should come over tonight, though. So I can see your beautiful face...and your body; That curvy, sexy body..." he mumbled, making me bite my lip. "Craig quit it.. I'll call you when I'm done packing." I said. "Alright, later ma." I smiled. "Later."

I hung up, and kept packing. Hours later, it was Troy's bed time, I tucked him in to sleep on the comforter on the floor, holding his teddybear, while wrapped up in his blanket. It was almost midnight and I was exhausted from packing all day. I heard the doorbell ring, and I got up to get it. I opened it rubbing my eyes, and saw Craig at the door.

I smiled and hugged him. "Hey... what are you doing here so late?" I asked, yawning. "I wanted to see if you needed any more help with the packing." He said smiling softly. "Yeah, come in." He held my hand, and saw Troy on the floor sleeping. "Aw..." He looked at him, and I smiled, taking Craig in the other room. "Okay, take the stuff from that drawer in here." I said giving him the box.

We started packing, and after a while, I got really sleepy. I laid down with the blanket over me on the floor, drifting off to sleep. "Should I go since you're getting sleepy?" I shook my head, and he smiled. "Come lay down with me." He came next to me, and I laid my head against him for comfort. We were face to face, and I felt the sexual tension build. He kissed me, and I kissed back softly. He started rubbing my waist, past my cotton shorts, and to my bare legs. I rubbed the back of his neck, and he deepened the kiss, biting my lip.

"Let's go to sleep." I said, cutting off the kiss. "A-Alright." he looked disapointed that I stopeped the kiss, but I had just met him I can't just fall for him that easily. I kissed his cheek and smiled. "Night, beautiful." he mumbled. I blushed. "Night."

I woke up with two little hands shaking my arm. "Momma, momma." I opened my eyes, seeing Troy crying holding his teadybear. "What's wrong baby?" I asked, bringing him down to my level. I instantly became worried for him, Troy coming to me in the middle of the night with tears in his eyes scared me to death.

"I had a bad dream." He wept, holding his teddybear in one hand, and holding my hand in the other. "Okay honey it's okay, just go to sleep with me. Mommy's right here." I kissed his forehead, and Craig held my waist tighter.

I woke up once again, with hair tickling my neck, and Craig's soft breathes were tickling my ear. I yawned, and let go of Troy's hand slowly. I turned, facing Craig, snuggling into his chest. His eyes opened, and he looked down at me. "Hey..." he whispered, rubbing his eyes.

"Good morning." I kissed his cheek, laid back in his chest.

Troy woke up, and held his teddybear close to his chest. "Momma..." he whined, facing me. "Hey baby, are you okay?" I kissed his cheek, and hugged him. "My bad dream," I felt his tears hit my tank top. "What happened?" I asked, kissing his forehead. Craig was holding my waist still, watching me hold Troy. "I had a dream that you went away and I had to stay with daddy, and I couldn't see you no more." I sighed, and kissed his cheek and his forehead. "It's alright honey, that won't ever happen I promise." I rubbed his back trying to calm him down with his tears hitting my shirt.

He sobbed, and I kissed his head, and shushed him to calm him down. "Are you okay now sweetie?" I asked, looking down at him. He nodded, and I smiled. "Okay baby, go back in the living room okay?" He nodded, and kissed my cheek. He walked into the living room, and I looked back at Craig.

I sighed, and he smiled. "You're an amazing mother." he rubbed my back, and I smiled. "Thank you." I blushed and he smiled. "Let's go get breakfast and go over to my place so we can unpack..." he said, rubbing my lower waist with his thumb. He lightly kissed his forehead, and I smiled. "Okay," I answered, smiling.

"I'm gonna go take a shower though, first, okay?" I said, and he hugged me, and kissed me. "Alright." he winked at me, making me blush.

I felt the warm water hit my skin, and I thought about Craig. So far he's been acting really sweet towards Troy and I. I haven't felt this way about anybody since sophmore year with Anthony. It feels great to feel like I'm finding someone new.

I stepped out, and saw Craig taking the box to the living room. He looked at me, biting his lip. "Damn..." I heard him mumble. I blushed, and closed the door, then walked over to me. He held my waist, and kissed me.

I slowly wrapped my hands around his neck, and kissed back. "Mommy!" I heard Troy's little voice exclaim. I pulled away, and sighed. "Yes honey?!" I heard him run into the room, and my head was softly lying into Prod's neck.

"Where do I put Elmo?" he asked, lifting the raggedy, red, stuffed Muppet character. Troy's had his little stuffed Elmo ever since he was born. Anthony won it for me at the fair when I was pregnant.

"Just put him in the box with Thomas and Bob the Builder baby." He nodded, running off. I sighed, and Craig kissed my cheek. "Get changed baby." he said, going back into the living room.

I changed, and walked into the living room. Craig took my hand, and took me back in my roon. "Samantha?" He said, looking down. "Yes?" I asked, looking worried. "Are we a couple, or...?" I smiled at how shy he looked. "I guess you can say we're dating now. I really like you." I smiled, and he looked up at me, smiling back.

"Let's go." He took my hand, and all of us put the stuff in the car. I put Troy in his carseat, and he was dozing off as we drove. Prod held my hand the whole time, and when we got there, I saw a huge house. He parked his car, and I looked at him. "Is this it?" He nodded. "Yeah, c'mon." I took Troy out of his car seat, and held him while walking into the house.

I walked into the house, and saw a big staircase in the center, that seperated in two directions. I looked up, and saw doors all around. "You can take Troy to his room." He whispered, showing me Troy's new room. We walked upstairs, and saw a guest room, that was way bigger than the room he had before. I laid him down, and tucked him in.

"Let show you our room." He held my hand, and guided me to a room with two carved wooden doors. He opened it, and the first thing I saw was a beautiful king sized bed. I looked at him, and he kissed my cheek. "Do you like it?" He asked. "Of course." I kissed him, and he smiled. "I'm glad you like it." He whispered, holding my waist. "Let's go unpack." I grabbed his hand, and walked downstairs with him to the car.
