Mon Amour

Avery - VI

I felt a soft breeze on my face as the silky sheets grazed on my skin. The coolness of the wind and the warmth of the sun had awoken me. I pulled my arms above my head as I stretched and yawn softly.

I opened my eyes and saw the bright orange light hitting my face as the sun shined brightly. A loud thud could be heard followed by the sound of a glass falling on the ground. My head turned to the direction of the noise.

A person leaning on the wall while walking towards the bed. My iris adjusted as the the blur from the light faded, Tori was wearing her silk robe as she struggled keeping her body upright.

I sighed heavily as I stood up and walked towards her. She gets too messed up when she's having issues. And this was the worst break down I've seen her go through. Scattered bottles of whiskey everywhere, broken glass all over the floor and red wine stains over her precious white carpet. Butts of cigarettes could be found and the smell of ashes and alcohol had me feeling sick.

I rushed over to Tori as she took a step closer to my direction. She must have taken a huge step which caused her to lose her balance. I was fast enough to catch her before she completely fall and crack her skull. Her eyes fluttered open as her hands massaged her temple.

She groaned loudly as her eyes fixed on my face. Her forehead creased as she blinked for a few times. Her hand wrapped on my neck as her lips curved into a smile.

"Good morning my heart breaker." Her voice was soft yet tease full. She was still intoxicated with the amount of alcohol she drank last night. I pulled her body closer to be able to carry her to the bed.

Laying her down slowly as her lips slowly moved into a frown. Her eyebrow raised as she felt my body moving away from her. I pulled the blanket over her body to cover her nakedness.

A soft knock came from the room, I walked over the door to open it. A tall blonde woman in suit, standing right in front of Victoria's door. My head suddenly filled with curiosity as I examined the woman in front of me.

Her holster caught my attention. Two matte black beretta docked right in both sides with a pair of matte black tactical knife. My head filled with a thousand thoughts as stepped away from the door.

The person smirked as she noticed my reaction. She took a step forward which caused me to panic and turn around ready to run. She was fast enough to pull me over, making me turn and face her, taking big steps as she pushed me on the wall.

Her smile vanished as my chest heaved against her body. I squirmed away from her but she have me locked up firmly. Her face inches away from mine. Her grip tightened around my wrist as I tried to push her. Her gaze glued on my face as her lips formed into a mocking smile. Before I could gather my strength up, she let go of my hand and backed a few steps from me.

A roaring sound of foot steps could be heard from the hall as a familiar man popped up. Holding a glass of whiskey on his hand and a cigar on his lips. Unbuttoning the first two buttons of his shirt as he walked right into the door.

His eyes filled with such emotion no one could understand. But the tiredness and weary was visible enough on the dark under circles of his eyes. He picked up a near empty jack daniels on the floor as he pulled all the contents on his glass.

He took a huge sip as he sat down on the chair near the bedside. He raised his hand up signalling for the woman in suit to come forward. The woman pulled the sheets off of Tori exposing her body in all its glory.

Tori rose up quickly to cover her self as the man comfortably sat in front of her. His eyes filled with anger as he laid eyes on his awoken daughter.

"Good Morning sweetheart." His voice was low and cold enough to bring unsolicited thoughts on why he was here in this room.

Tori unbothered of the sight of her father, she stood up and turned her back from him. As she was just about to walk away, the woman quickly blocked her way towards me. Tori turned around to face her father as the man indicated Tori to sit down.

Unwillingly she obliged, she sat in front of her father. Snatching the bottle of JD from her father's hands and popped the cap open. She placed the rim on her lips and finished the remaining liquid from the bottle.

"You'll be monitored at all times after all you've pulled through, I've had enough. This is Miss Ava Grier, a former marine, retired and hired to be your new body guard. She'll be in charge of your emotional outbursts and will discipline you in every way she can." Jack then stood up finishing the glass full of Hennessy and JD. He walked out of the room as soon as he said those words. The woman in suit followed him as he walked away from us.

I looked at the confused Tori as she sat down on her bed trying to figure things out. I took a few steps towards her as she gave me a faintest smile she could muster.

She stood up quickly, running towards the hallway. Before I could even process what was going on. I saw Tori headlocking her arms on her father's neck. She was crying and shouting at the same time.

I ran to her as I wrapped my arms around Tori hoping to stop any commotion from both parties. The woman chimed in, pulling Tori away from Jack. Tori did not back down as she threw strong punches towards her father.

I felt her anger colliding towards my body as I squeezed in between the two of them. A sound of glass shattering could be heard as we all faced the direction of the noise.

Trish was standing a few meters away from us with a broken cup on the floor. The black liquid seeped into the carpet as the aromatic scent of coffee filled the hallway.
