Pregnant with the Bad Boy - Second Book

Chapter 20

“Hey… hey….” I grunted back at whoever was talking, not wanting to open my eyes, scrunching them even more, feeling the heavy hand that was on my shoulder, shaking me the slightest, to my annoyance; whoever it was, they could just f**k off, and leave me here to rot!!

“Time to wake up….” I didn’t care, slapping away the hand at my face like I wanted anyone to be close to me; I didn’t want to wake up; was that so hard to get!? My eyes were still not adjusted when the hands were squeezing my face more; what the f**k was happening, and who the hell was stupid enough to touch my face!?

“Stop that!” my voice was dry and raw from not speaking when the hand came back to my face, patting me more like it was funny seeing me get more pissed off from the tapping on my cheek.

“Not stopping princess, look at you, asleep at noon, not answering your phone once?” I scowled harder, hearing the teasing voice above me, being snarky and slightly mocking over me being inside the bed that he had helped carry inside.

“It’s my life, now get the f**k out, you leech!” I didn’t care that he owned this building; he would not tell me what to do; he wasn’t my dad, no matter if he was interested in Mom!

“You’re funny; now let’s get up grumpy…” I didn’t have a choice feeling myself being pulled up and shrieking from the anger of seeing Travis's face before me, knowing that he had pulled me out of my bed against my will; what the f**k was wrong with him??

I still was staring at him, looking at me, his eyes firmly on mine, panting, offended that he had just barged inside of her and made me get out of my own pity; what did he want from me??

“Have a shower, get dressed, and then we are going to the store, oh and you are paying….” I still didn’t know what he was up to; I wouldn’t pay for anything! He smirked more when I took a step back, finally being released from the man that wasn’t even hiding that he wasn’t feeling sorry for me, not like he did when he looked at my mom.

“f**k you and get out.” I said it back cold, finally covering up my breast that had been exposed underneath the half-dragged down dress that cost more than his car! Why was he even here for me to sign the damn papers to leave?? It would be my pleasure!

“Nope, not going to happen, not when you haven’t answered your mom in almost a day, and she is getting worried.” Travis was staring me right into my eyes like he was challenging me to my anger; what was his problem?? I wanted him to leave me alone, just like everyone else!

“What do you care about that anyway? You told me yesterday day I was going to get out, and you got your f*****g money!” I didn’t care that he was staring at me like he was sick of listening to my out lashes, he was a strange man, and I was half-dressed; he was shady, and I should call the police instead of listening to him!

“No, princess, that’s what you told me, and I didn’t take your money, did I?” He was still mocking me, hands on his hips and looking like he just wanted to get this over with; why did he even have to pretend to care? I knew that he was only doing this to impress my mother!

“Whatever! Just get out and don’t come back! You can tell Mom whatever she wants to hear from you; I don’t care!” I turned around, returning to bed, wanting nothing more than for him to leave and let me rot in my misery because that’s my life.

Travis didn’t say anything this time when he grabbed my arms, taking me along to my screaming; what did he think he was doing anyway?! I was still shrieking when he put me inside the shower, turning on the cold water and drowning me in it, too; my screams were heard all over the building he owned!

“Are you crazy!? What the f**k is wrong with you?! I will call my ex, and he will kill you!” I wasn’t sure how to get the smirking Travis back, but I would! Dylan could kill him, or Grant could have him f*****g arrested for abusing me; I was so going to do that!

“What, the one in prison or the drunk?” I gasped, still shocked from the cold water, when Travis was glaring at me with his cold eyes; how the hell did he know all that?? had my mom just spilled everything about my life when she was trying to act f*****g cute before a guy that was too young for her?!

“Both!” I screamed it back, angry when I took the shower head and turned on the cold water, hosing down the unprepared Travis, that started to howl from the cold. I was laughing at seeing him get even angrier, grabbing my arm when I cursed at him, making the waterway around the bathroom he had put me inside!

“Good luck with that, your mom is a talker, and she told me about your little history….” My breath where uneven seeing Travis's eyes that was still on me, smirking like he didn’t suffer half as much from the cold water that was running over us when he was holding my arm in a firm grip, making me take deep breaths from the pain all over my body from the cold.

He was close, way closer than I had imagined seeing the scowl still on his face, he didn’t like me, and I had no idea why?? That made me start jerking my arm back; he was not keeping me here and looking like he would kill me or laugh in my face for suffering!

“You don’t know me or her; let me f*****g go!” I was screaming it higher when Travis's eyes changed like he had forgotten where we were standing, my dress was still down, and my top was showing when he looked down like he had just realized that I had let go of the dress as soon as he sprayed me with cold water!

“Get dressed right now!” He looked at my boobs for longer than he needed when I was covering them up again, hating him more for every second; a nice guy, huh? That was the biggest lie I had ever seen! He was the devil and wasn’t half as nice to me as any other guy!

“You don’t decide over me!” I was screaming it after him, not even caring that I was still mad as hell for being dragged out of bed and waterboarded or close to it!

“Asshole!” I screamed some more when I was still soaking! My dress hanging on for dear life, and my cheeks burned from knowing that Travis had seen me topless, that coldhearted snake that wanted my mom to like him! Torturing me so that he would get in her good graces!

I was still mumbling when I stepped out of the dress, hanging it up carefully, not really wanting to destroy the only thing that still fitted me when I leaned back into the shower, turning on the heat and just standing there, washing away every emotion that was inside my body.

Hopeless.

I felt hopeless. Was it really this hard to be on your own? I know that I had done it before, back in college, and I had no idea how I could make it one day before since I was doing too good, not even more than two days from the homestead, one and a half. I was going, to be honest….

“s**t…” I couldn’t get my shoes on when I was dressed; having another more oversized dress made me look bigger than before; it was even possible!

“You need help this time?” my face was red and sweaty. Looking up, I saw Travis, wearing another shirt and shorts on my scowl and standing in my doorway; what did he want now??

“No!” I snarled it back, just pushing the last part of my foot inside the sneakers, just like last time when he looked at me like I was hopeless like he hadn’t just freaking tortured me inside the shower!

“Fine, let's just go…” he smirked when I didn’t get him; what was he playing at her? Was he trying to be nice when he couldn’t be to me just to get Mom to like him more? He didn’t need that! She thought he was hot, and it was obvious!?

“I’m not going anywhere with you.” I said it firmly and ended whatever he had thought I would follow him like a damn puppy! I wasn’t a child, and he could just scold me and tell me what to do; he wasn’t my family or anything! Just the stupid landlord!

“Too bad, you’re paying…” he smirked more when I couldn’t believe he had just said that!? There was something seriously wrong with this guy! I took one step forward, scowling more and taking the door, ready to slam it in his face, when he stopped me like he had seen it coming to my offended face; why couldn’t he take a f*****g hint and leave!?

“Your mom wanted me to help you get some damn food, and we are going right now!” he retook my arm to my struggling, not wanting to leave. No! he wasn’t not making me go out in public, not when I just wanted to spend the day alone in bed!

“Why don’t you just take her, and you can get some nice ice coffee alone and leave me here!?” I was still walking after him, forced when he hadn’t let me go! Staring at his back head with hate, I would start screaming when we were outside, and then he would regret that he had tried to make me do something I didn’t want!

“Get in.” I didn’t even have time to see if there were any people around, feeling Travis push me up inside the truck, annoyed that I was still struggling against him when I followed him walk around, already having my hand on the handle to get out when he couldn’t catch me only to find out that it was locked! What the f**k!?

I saw Travis standing before the truck and looking at me smugly like he had been expecting that too! Seriously, why did he do this!? Was Mom paying him to babysit me or what??

“Nice try, princess…” he was snicking, getting inside the truck, not caring that I was glaring at him with all my might, arms crossed, and still too offended to even believe what he had done! He was the rudest guy I had ever met in my entire life; he was!

“This is kidnapping!” I finally hissed it back at him, still smirking when I made another frustrated scream; I was going to kill him when he was asleep! I would, and he just sat there and looked stupid with that idiotic smirk and cap that made him look even more ridiculous!

“Sure, this is me kidnapping you so you can eat, Jesus!” he was chuckling it back to my pout; like I said, there was something wrong with him, acting one way with me and then just being this sweet guy with my mom, fake!

“It is!” I wasn’t still over him drowning me in cold water, that and that he had seen me semi-naked, and he didn’t look that bothered by it, was he a robot or what??

“No, it’s not; if I wanted to be mean, I would let you still be in your bed and feeling sorry for yourself for being jealous that I like your mom….” I gasped when he just said that, so he wasn’t even covering up that he was interested in Mom, was that it??

“So, you do like her, is that it?? You do know that she isn’t even divorced!?” I wasn’t holding back, sounding more accusing, still staring at him in the profile when he hadn’t looked at me once, and it was bothering me that he was so damn nonchalant! I would rip up that lease for real this time when we got back!

“So what? You’re not either, and I still see you naked…” he snickered when I took a deep breath to answer him, stopping in my words and forming back at his smugness; how much did my mom say about me??!

“Shut up!” I was barking now; he wouldn’t say s**t to me! We were just doing this and getting back so I could go back to bed and feel sorry for myself like I wanted to!

“Fine by me…” Travis turned up the radio to my annoyance. Did he really just drown me out when I wasn’t done? That was so rude! My face was still in a permanent scowl when he turned inside the gas station, and my chest started to constrict; dear god, no!

“Travis, no!” I was trying to take the wheel when he pushed my hands off, frowning when I was covering my face, not wanting to see the world anymore, too scared to even breathe that the man inside this place would somehow see me and come out and finish what he had started in that f*****g bathroom!

“Are you insane? Do you want to kill us?!” I didn’t listen to the firm scolding that Travis was hissing when the truck had stopped. I was still too scared to look up and see that we were not moving at the local gas station my family had avoided since I had told them what had happened.

“Yes…. Yes, I’m insane….” My voice was even angry anymore, just terrified when I was hiding more; I leaned over to the power of my belly, being the hinder I didn’t need right now!

“God, why the f**k did I ever agree to help you out?? Look at you…” he was cursing more when I was crying, trying not to sob louder when I didn’t care what he told me; screw him and this entire town!

“Hey, wait!” I was out of the truck before he even had gotten his seat belt off, making me walk away from the only place in the world that was giving me nightmares more than anything. Just thinking that guy’s name was turning me nauseated.

“No, no, no! you can’t make me stay here; you can’t!” I was chanting it when he was already coming after me, probably causing a stir for other people in this town, when Travis took his hand, making me stop whether I liked it or not!

“Jennifer, you are not making any sense; it's just gas??” he was getting even more irritated that I was freaking out over him just needed to gas up, well there was a f*****g reason for it, wasn’t it!?

“It’s not just gas; it's him! He works here, and I am not seeing that guy again; I wished he died that day!” I was howling all over the outskirts of the gas station, walking past the building surrounding us.

“Him who?!” Travis had turned me around, making me look up at his angry face; he hated me, the same as everyone else that lived here, for this! For this reason, I was a liar and a w***e to people that wanted to listen to the lies that were being spread around me!

“I can't, Travis… I can't!” I was still crying, my hands on his chest, trying to push him off; I didn’t want to be around him anymore; he was just as bad as everyone else around here, worse! Why did I ever believe he would be someone that would help me other than just get paid!?

“Tell me what the f**k is going on, or I can’t help you!” his voice was so hard and gritty, like he just wanted me to say it; there was no way that I could speak that name; that would make everything that happened to me so more real, the fear that was kicking inside me more than my baby ever would!

“Parker! He works here! I can’t go inside that place!” I didn’t care what happened when my eyes were closed, the tears falling down my cheeks for every second I was crying, wanting to leave; he had no idea how it felt, being powerless and scared to death that someone would hurt you, hurt my baby!

“Parker??” Travis turned his head toward the gas station when I was still not calming down; worse! My heart beat faster, and my breaths were shallow; everything felt blurry, and my panic was getting stronger; I needed to leave now!

“Stay here.” When I nodded, Travis sounded cool again, not caring if he believed me when he let me go, walking back faster to the gas station. I turned around, already running the slight stretch before me, inside an alleyway that led down to the field area I knew was out there; I just wanted to leave! Parker was not getting me and my baby!

Every step was burning my lungs, my heart rate beating stronger in my head and chest when the heat was starting to slow me down, that and the huge belly that was making me so heavy that I was panting just after the first steps of running, I had no idea where I was going stepping into the field, but I didn’t care!

When someone started to shout my name, I crouched down, holding my hands over my ears, shutting my eyes tight, not wanting to hear or see anything; why couldn’t they just leave me alone? Didn’t they understand that Parker would find me, get his belt loose, and laugh in my face when he was telling my face that he was going to hurt Lilly and me!?

“Jennifer, where are you??” the voice was coming closer when I held my breath, not wanting to reveal my hiding stopped down in the tall wheat field that was swaying in the wind, the green hiding me better than I ever had imagined, hearing the man curse again just a few feet away before leaving.

I exhaled. Thank God… thank God…. I lay down, exhausted, closing my eyes, seeing the blue sky briefly before my eyes; anything was better than seeing his face. That was never going to disappear from my mind. Never.
