Chapter 5 is here! Hope you like it!
"Trent! Hi!" said Gwen.
Gwen tried her best not to look shocked, but failed miserably.
"You were expecting someone else?" asked Trent.
"No. It's just...my mom just got through doing laundry so there's bras and panties all over the living room. Hang on. I'll go clean up and be right back"
Gwen slammed the door and ran back in the living room to Duncan.
"C'mon. It's time for you to leave" said Gwen.
"Aww. But I just got here" said Duncan.
"I know, but Trent's here and he wants to spend some time with me and I can't have you distracting me" said Gwen.
Gwen dragged Duncan to her back door and slipped into the back yard.
"Oh, I see. I'm so good looking it's hard for you to concentrate around me. Is that it?" asked Duncan.
"Yep, you nailed it." said Gwen, sarcastically "Now, climb my fence so you can get outta my yard. You should remember how to do that. After all you use to sneak in my yard all the time" said Gwen.
"I remember. You use to call me at night and tell me that your parents were fighting again and I'd sneak on over. Then one of your parents would start come out of their room and I'd have to sneak out. I miss the nights we use to spend together, you know" said Duncan.
"I know. Me too" said Gwen.
"Did you ever think that, maybe, if I would have stayed … that we could have become, you know, more than friends?" asked Duncan.
Gwen felt the heat rushed to her face. Yeah, she thought about that every day. In, fact, she was positive that if Duncan would have stayed then they would have eventually become more than friends.
"Yes. I use to think that" said Gwen "but those feelings are gone now, Duncan. I have a boyfriend now. And I love him."
"Do you?" asked Duncan.
Duncan moved closer to Gwen, their faces were inches away from one another. Gwen felt the heat rise again. She wanted to kiss him more than anything right now. But she couldn't. She was in love with Trent.
Gwen backed away.
"I'm sorry, Duncan. You're my best friend. Only my best friend. I'm a faithful girlfriend" said Gwen.
"I'm only asking. It's not like I'm asking you to fuck me right here and right now. I respect your decision. Trent is a very lucky guy" said Duncan.
Duncan turned around and climbed the fence without even glancing back in Gwen's direction. Instant regret consumed Gwen. She wanted to chase after him so bad, but she couldn't. She was faithful. Not a dirty cheater like the other girls. And she loved Trent. Not Duncan.
Gwen walked back inside and to the front door where Trent was still waiting.
"Hey, you. Took you long enough" said Trent.
"We're women, Trent, we have a lot of panties" said Gwen.
Trent walked inside and made himself at home on her couch.
"Gwen" shouted Ms. Sherry "I have to run to the grocery store. We're outta milk. I'll be right back."
"Okay" Gwen shouted back to her mom.
Ms. Sherry walked out the door. Gwen heard her car start and back out of the drive way. When the sound of her car faded out, Trent stood up.
"So, did you have any visitors I need to know about?" asked Trent.
"No" Gwen laughed "why?"
"I'm not stupid , Gwen" said Trent.
"I know. There was no one here" said Gwen.
"Don't lie to me" said Trent.
"No one was here, damn!" shouted Gwen.
Trent balled his hands into fists. His face turned red with anger.
"I looked in the window before I rang the door bell. I saw him, Gwen. Like I said, I'm not stupid" said Trent.
"No, you're fuckin' psychotic" said Gwen.
Trent grabbed Gwen by the arm.
"You wanna say that again?" asked Trent.
Gwen starred in Trent's eyes. In them, she saw rage and anger. His teeth her clenched together. She had never seen him this angry before. For once, she was terrified.
"I own you, dammit" said Trent "You do what I say, when I say. I'm getting tired of you defying me. Do you know what happened to the slaves when they refused to do what their masters told them to do?" asked Trent.
They were killed.
The tears she had been holding back began to fall.
"You can't treat me like this anymore, Trent. I can't take it anymore" said Gwen.
"What are you gonna do? Hit me" Trent laughed.
Gwen wanted to. Oh God she would do anything to slap that arrogant smile off Trent's face.
"It's over, Trent. We're threw" said Gwen.
Trent let go of Gwen's arm. He had a look of shock on his face. Then, he swung. His fist connected with Gwen's eye. The punch was so hard it knocked Gwen off of her feet. Gwen was stunned. She remained on the floor holding her eye, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Have I made myself clear?" asked Trent.
Gwen nodded and looked up and Trent. He was kneeling in front of her. He put it hand under her chin, lifted her face up, and kissed her lips.
"I love you. You know that right?" asked Trent.
Gwen nodded.
"I love you too, Trent" said Gwen.
Trent stood and helped Gwen to her feet. He kissed her once on the cheek and then left her house. Gwen turned and saw that her little brother was standing on the steps. He had a shocked expression on his face.
"Hang on, Gwenny. I'll go call mom" said Gwen's little brother.
"No, wait" said Gwen.
Gwen ran after her little brother and caught him by the arm.
"Please, David, listen to me. You can't tell mom" pleaded Gwen.
"Why? He just hit you, Gwen. Mom needs to know" said David.
"I fell, okay. That's how we'll explain the black eye. I fell" said Gwen.
David was clearly confused, but by the look of his sister's face, it was important not to tell anyone.
"Why did he hit you, Gwen?" asked David.
"Sometimes, Trent gets really angry at me. I sometimes to things to upset him, but that doesn't make it right okay. Just because Trent does it doesn't mean you need to you hear me?" said Gwen.
David nodded.
"Are you gonna tell Duncan?" asked David.
Gwen thought about it. She really didn't know. She should. He told her that she shouldn't hesitate to tell him if Trent ever hit him. She couldn't tell him, she figured. If she did, he would want to get back at Trent. And that would end up getting him hurt.
How could Trent just hit Gwen like that? What's gonna happen next? Find out in the next chapter.
Keep the reviews coming. They make me happy :)
