Something New pt2

Joshua and I talked the whole way to my home about nothing and everything all at the same time. I learned that Joshua was actually a very sweet, sarcastic and funny guy. He was passionate about helping others and that was a great quality to have in this world we lived in today. Joshua pulled into a parking space directly in front of my townhouse he turned off the car and for a minute there was awkward silence. I looked over at my place to see if the light was on in the foil…it wasn’t. Then I looked around for Troy’s car it was parked in the back of the parking lot next to Ravens car I turned around and rested my head against the seat closing my eyes. Troy and I were going to have it out big time and I was going to kick his ass out while I was at it.

“Penny for your thoughts Miss. Owens?” Joshua said in an intimate voice.

“Troy was ignoring my phone calls the whole time because he was with my friend Raven.” I opened my eyes and looked over at Joshua who was looking at me through sorrowful eyes. “Oh well, im going kick his ass out of my home along with Raven.”

“Do you need me to go with you?” concerned filled his beautiful face.

I smiled, “No Josh, I will be fine. Thank you for the ride I truly appreciate it.”

Joshua nodded giving me faint smile. I grabbed my bag and left. Once in my house I dropped the bag on the floor and headed straight for the living room I went to turn on the lights but a hand gripped my wrist and spun me around so fast it gave me whiplash. The next thing I knew I was pinned to the wall by brute force and starring into deep red orbs. What the hell was going on here? Was I about to get robbed, rape and killed? And why in the hell did this person have red glowing eyes?

“Kayanna?”  his voice was dark and familiar.

“What exactly is the problem…Troy?” Even though I recognized Troy’s voices as soon as he spoke, I was still scarred as hell I mean the guys eyes were freaking glowing. “Are those the new color blend contacts that just came out?” I stuttered knowing the answer to that question already.

“What do you think?” I felt his hot breath on my neck.

“Can you let me go troy?” My heart was running a marathon by this point and my thoughts were only focused on how this dude was going to kill me.

“Virgin blood is some of the tastiest blood around.” He licked my neck. Then the living room light came on I looked over to the left of me Raven with her pale skin and tall stature was an inch from my face her canines were elongated and her eyes were a bright mystic purple I felt body growing weaker the longer I looked into her eyes so I looked away. “Are yall some type of vampire enthusiast or something? Troy, are you back smoking that stuff because we are going to go get you some help tomorrow if you are.”

“I hope you’re going to share some of that virgin blood with me baby.” Raven purred moving some hair behind my ear and licking the side of my face.

 I felt powerless I had no one to call for help except for the police and my phone was in my pocket.

“Ive waited a long time to taste you Kayanna. Don’t worry I’m not going to drain you dry until I take your virginity.”

“Well if you did that then my blood wouldn’t taste virgin-like any more right?” I wasn’t trying to be smart or piss this psycho off or anything but his logic was flawed. Too bad Troy was a psycho because he was actually pretty darn cute,6’3, golden brown skin, perfect white teeth, he had a swimmers body in my opinion neat dread locks that he kept in a ponytail most of the time. But now wasn’t the time to harp on his pretty boy face considering the fact I watched his canine grow about two inches long.

“See bitch and this is why I decided to kill you.” I felt the tips of his teeth at my throat I closed my eyes and said a prayer.

Ding Dong

I opened one eye Troy and raven was staring at one another.

Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong!

“Maybe I should go get that.” I whispered hoping they would free me.

Troy glared at me, “If you try to alert that person in any way I will snap both of your necks and drain you dry.”

I had a sarcastic comment for troy but bit my tongue so he didn’t bite me.  Raven was glaring at me too as troy let me go and I went answered the door. I opened the door, “Joshua!” it was barely audible.

“Hey, I hope I’m not inconveniencing you?” he asked not looking at me but into my house.

I shook my head no not being able to speak for fear Troy would hear me. I thought about what troy said about killing anybody I alerted assuming that he met let them in the house too. I didn’t want to get Joshua killed because I decided to deal with a nutcase…I had to get rid of Joshua and fast.

 

 

Something New pt1

Something New

I glanced at my watch one more time it was 9:10pm and Troy still hadn’t showed up. I did not know why I even put up with his ass, I had been out of school since eight and this homely bastard still hadn’t made it here. This is why I needed to buy a car because troy was the most unreliable piece of crap I had ever met! I tried calling Raven my sometimes friend for over ten years but her phone went straight to voicemail and I probably knew why. I sighed heavily then sat on the curb and continued to call troy and Raven, more than likely they were together probably playing catch-some-get-a-little somewhere as long as they weren’t playing in my house I didn’t care. Yeah, Troy was my boyfriend but not in the biblical sense or any other type of anything that made sense. I think we were together because he needed a place to stay and I occasionally wanted somebody to cuddle with and kiss from time to time well at one point and time. If I had to be honest with myself, troy and I hadn’t kissed or cuddled in a year right around the time he started messing with raven the weird part about it is I didn’t even get mad and snap somebody’s neck like I thought I would. I cut my loss and moved on without him knowing about it. But the past few months he has been getting on my nerves; he covered all my windows with black quilts, he stays out until the crack of dawn and sleeps all day when he’s supposed to be out looking for a job. He walks around the house in a bad mood starring me down like I’m a piece a meat that he’s about to devour me or something but I give his ass the stink eye right back shoot. Thunder sounded off, I looked up at the dark sky there was no moon and the school provided little to no lights it was actually starting to creep me out there wasn’t a person in sight and about five cars in the parking lot. I dialed Troys number again…straight to voicemail. Mother Fu…

“Kayanna?”

The deep male voice shook me to the core it was so deep and sensual. I turned and looked up into hazel almond-shaped eyes; it was my counselor, Joshua Lee. He stood at 6ft, tan, perfect teeth, medium athletic build, hair that was usually in a ponytail hung to his shoulders today. His goatee was well manicured along with his barley there mustache. He was wearing a black vest with a short sleeve white button down collared shirt underneath with black slacks and black shoes. I stood up and dusted off my black yoga pants, “Hey Josh.”

“Hi, are you waiting on someone?” he asked nicely.

“Yeah, but I don’t think he’s coming I have been waiting for over an hour and he hasn’t even picked up the phone.” I gave Josh a weak smile.

“I can give you a ride home if you want.”

“No, I wouldn’t want you to go out of your way I live over the bridge on Gateway Ave.”

“What are you going to do…walk?” he said sarcastically

I smirked, “If I have too.”

“Well you don’t so let’s go Kayanna Shay.”

No he didn’t use the first and middle name parental tone with me. He’s lucky I think he’s the sexiest guy I have ever seen in my 27 years of existence. “I will give you gas money Joshua.” I said grabbing my backpack off the ground and slinging it on my shoulder.

“You will do no such thing it would be my pleasure to bring you home I would like to get to know you better anyways.”

“Can’t you just look through my file?” I asked sarcastically.

“Already did. It didn’t tell me much.”

I smiled. Why would a guy such as Joshua want to get to know a girl like me, 5’7, 27 and just now finishing my masters in Nutrition. I am definitely not a size 0 more like a size 11 with a little extra baggage. I mean I exercised as much as my schedule allowed but the women in my family were more toward the thick curvaceous side vs the skinny side. I had a small gap in my teeth although barely noticeable it was still there. Oh Kayanna get a grip the guy is offering you a ride not your hand in marriage. I glanced at Joshua who was staring at me with an eyebrow raised. “What?”

“Ready to go?”

“Oh, im sorry, sometimes I tend to get lost in my thoughts. Yes, im ready.” We headed towards a black on black ford fusion it look to be brand new. It was clean.

“What were you thinking about Kayanna?”

“Nothing important…can I ask you a question?

“Of course.”

“Do you have a girlfriend?”

“No. Do you?”

“No I do not have a girlfriend.” I said giggling.

Joshua looked down at me through beautiful hazel eyes that seemed to have glinted for a second but that could have just been my imagination though. “Ha..ha…ha. Do you have a man?”

“Not anymore.”

“Good.”

“Why good Mr. Lee?” I asked curious to know.

“Because it just is.”

“What kind of answer is that?”

“My kind of answer.” Confidence oozing from is answer.

I looked at him through the corner of my eyes, “Your kind of answers suck, I can’t believe they let you be a counselor with the way you give out answers shoot.”

Joshua laughed a deep throaty laugh that eventually became contagious and I joined in on the laugh.
