Ch. 4
"Morning." he said, smiling.
"Morning."
He grabbed my hand and kissed it.
"You were wonderful."
"It was my first time."
"You took it like a pro! I would have never guessed."
I chuckled and got up. I was still naked from last night. I grabbed one of his shirts from the tiny closet and put it on. It was a black t-shirt that reached my knees. He chuckled and got up, completely naked as well. He walked to the kitchen and brought back two cups of orange juice.
"You're probably late for work." he smirked.
"They can wait."
Flynn laughed and we both took a sip of juice.
"Did you hear me say anything last night before we finished?"
"I think I heard Eugene." I said with one eyebrow raised.
Flynn cleared his throat.
"Ignore that outburst."
"Was that one of you exs?"
"No! Of course not!"
"Then who was it?"
"It's…it's..it's a funny story really."
"Flynn!"
"Ok! My real name is Eugene. Someone might as well know."
"Eugene?"
"Eugene Fitzherbert."
I giggled to myself and hugged him.
"I think that's a cute name."
"liar." He chuckled.
"Come on, I'll make some breakfast."
I let go of him and walked to the kitchen. All he had was eggs and ham. I made an omelet big enough for both of us. Eugene was sitting on the counter next to me while I was cooking. He was still naked.
"Put some clothes on!" I exclaimed.
Eugene laughed and got off the counter. He got behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. He kissed the top of my head and let go. He walked to his room and came back with old pajama pants on.
"I'm starving." He said, rubbing his belly.
"It's done!"
I got the omelets and gave one to him. We both ate on top of the couch watching TV. My legs were on top of his lap and I was sitting side ways. I heard a knock at the door. He pushed my legs off his lap and peeked through the window. It was two big men with red hair. One had an eye patch and the other one had a scar going down his cheek. Flynn made a signal to go to his room. I ran up to his room and put my ear close to the door.
"Hey guys!" I heard Eugene say in a suave voice.
"Rider, where the fuck is our money?"
"Money? Guys, give a guy a little slack. Things have been so hard lately and-"
"Why is there two plates on the coffee table, rider? You were expecting us?"
I heard one of the brothers push passed Eugene and walk to the room. In a state of panic, I jumped on the bed and pretended to be asleep. I heard the man open the door.
"She's a pretty one, rider. Where did you pick her up?"
"None of your fucking business. Leave her out of it."
"Does she know who you are, rider?"
Eugene stayed silent. The man came up to me and shook my shoulders. I jerked up to see one of the men with his arms folded on the other side of the bed and one right on my face. I gulped and looked at Flynn.
"Morning, sleeping beauty." The man grinned showing straight yellow teeth.
I stayed silent.
"I was talking to you, bitch."
I looked at him and he was giving me an evil smirk.
"What?" I said in a low voice
"Do you know this man?" he said, pointing to Flynn.
"y-yes."
"You know what he makes a living out of, right? He's a thief, you know. And to make things worse, he owes us money."
"Money?"
"Drug money."
I gasped and looked at Flynn, his head down.
"She's got a nice rack, rider." The man on the side of the bed said.
"Shut the fuck up" Eugene said in a deep voice.
"You must be absolutely frazzled, hun." The man said.
He grabbed my wrist and pulled me up. In a matter of seconds I was standing in front of the man in nothing but an old t-shirt. Flynn tried to charge toward the man who was still holding my wrist but the other man stopped Flynn before he could get one foot in front of the other.
"ooohh" the man said, laughing.
I felt my cheeks turn red.
"Oh, don't be embarrassed. You aren't the only one who has had sex with Flynn rider, you know. Who was it last time, Flynn? It was the really pretty Spanish chick with huge tits."
"Linda" Eugene said under his breath.
"Ah, that's right. You're a really pretty girl, what's-your-face."
"Rapunzel."
The man laughed and looked at his accomplice.
"Your parents must have hated you for giving you such a shitty name."
I swallowed and responded
"Fuck you, ass wipe."
"ohhhh" the man said, still grabbing onto my wrist
"You've got a feisty one eh, rider? Tell us, how was she in bed?" the other man said
I reached my limit. I smacked him as hard as I could with my free hand.
"FUCK YOU!" I yelled loudly
The man let go of my wrist and rubbed his cheek. He nodded to the other man who was still grabbing Eugene. With one swift move the man grabbed me by the shirt and hoisted me up. I squirmed as much as I could, trying to get out of his hold. I saw Flynn looking around everywhere planning an escape. The man reached out one of his hands and hit me really hard. So hard that I fell to the floor, knocked out cold.
"YOU FUCKING DICK!" Eugene said, yelling as loud as he could.
I heard one of the men punch Eugene in the gut and say
"if you don't get me my money say good bye to 'Rapunzel'"
I blacked out. I woke up on Eugene's bed with a bag of ice on my head. He was sitting next to me, holding my hand waiting for me to wake up. I sat up and looked at him; he had a huge black eye and bleeding from the side of his lip.
"Who the fucks were they?"
"I owe them money."
"Drug money! Drugs, Eugene? You do drugs?"
"I used to! Only a little bit."
"You owe them enough money that they punched me. It can't be a little bit."
He stayed silent. He let go of me and buried his face into his hands.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't know they would hurt you like that. When I saw you squirming in the hands of that fucking stabbington…I couldn't do anything but watch. I couldn't break free and help you. They beat the shit out of me and got the money we stole yesterday."
I scoffed and walked to the bathroom to examine the damage. I had the same black eye Eugene had on the same eye. When I touched it it hurt so much tears streamed down my face. I saw Eugene lean against the bathroom door, looking at me.
" I don't want to see you ever again." I said, looking at him through the mirror.
"Don't…please, don't"
"Good bye, Flynn."
I got out of the bathroom and put my uniform on. While I was putting it on Eugene would beg me to stay. Offering change and love. I ignored his requests and got out of his apartment. I walked down the street and took short cuts through the stranded alleys, making my way back home. I was about 2 minutes away from the apartment until I saw one of the men from Eugene's apartment jump in front of me. The other man got behind me and covered my mouth with a tissue paper and I saw one of the men walk towards me with a bag. I fainted shortly after.
