Guys...this is a scary chapter.

66. A Deal And More.

I drank and got high all night. I don't remember a single thing about the party, the beginning or the middle, but I vaguely remember the ending. Bobby left early with his cousin to go to a bar that was still opened, so Emily and I hung out smoking four boxes of cigarettes, snorting up stuff different things and then ended up going upstairs and sleeping together.

When I woke up to the birds chirping I saw Emily still sleeping next to me with the covers covering half her body, her bare upper half exposed to view. I looked down and saw myself exposed fully with no covers on me. I had a killer headache but I managed to roll out of bed and get my clothes back on and left a note for Emily. Just a simple thing. Emily, it's Marley writing this. In case you wake up and start freaking out about who you slept with, it was me. I then proceeded to leave the room and go downstairs where half the party was gone and the rest of them was sleeping. I heard someone in the kitchen and found Cole.

"Do you ever get hungover?" I asked him.

"Not too much." Cole said. "Hey so I saw you and Emily last night getting it on. Marley bi now?"

"No. I still love men, I'm dating one. I just...get wild at times now I guess." I said. "I don't remember a thing last night other than Emily and I sleeping together."

"Yeah, lots of crazy things. Hey ever heard of a guy named Jerry Richer?"

Jerry Richer? Jerry? Jerry. Jerry. Jerry. Jerry. Jerry. Jerry...Nope. "No, never heard of a Jerry. Why?"

"I heard from some people he nearly raped a girl last night. Nobody knows too much about the girl and Jerry's cousin and her boyfriend found him and the girl. They don't remember either and Jerry doesn't either."

"Oh shit really?" I asked.

"Yeah. The girl had on a jean dress with a white jacket, dark very light brown hair...or red hair, that's what Jerry's cousin Ashley said. One dark blue eye and one dark green eye. Seen a girl like that?"

"No." I said. "I don't remember a thing like I said. Just sleeping with Emily."

"Ah well alright then. I guess it's not too bad since nothing happened." Cole said. "Hey so i guess you can take anything you want since there are leftovers." He held up a backpack. "Roberta got these for people to hide drugs and drinks and such. Take one and stuff it."

"Halloween!" I smiled taking the backpack. "Thanks Cole."

He nodded. He then said, "Hey, if you're note busy tonight do you wanna get together?" He winked.

"Sure." I said. "Just come on over."

He nodded and left to get some beer bottles in the fridge. I turned around and started collecting different bags of weed, crack and cocaine, pills, beer bottles, more weed and I found twenty boxes of cigarettes filled fully. I grabbed some lighters and then left the house with my candy back. I took the first bus that I found that would bring me to the train station and get me out of Long Island and all the way back to the city.

On the train ride I read a magazine I found when it hit me. That girl that Jerry nearly raped. That was me. I got myself into that situation. Oh shit...holy shit...how did...oh my God! How did I get to that point? And who the hell stopped me? Someone stopped me from having sex with him and I mean before his cousin and her boyfriend stopped the whole thing. A voice. Someone's voice. Who? Strange.

I got back to the apartment after getting off the train and going food shopping with some money I found on the ground of the train station. Nobody was standing around and it wasn't in a wallet, had it been a wallet I'd go to a police station and leave it on someone's desk for them to find and call the owners, but it was just random money on the ground. About fifty dollars.

I put the groceries away and then opened a bottle of wine. I started to drink straight from the bottle and opened a cigarette.

How could I be so stupid? Sleeping with someone I didn't know? I mean I've had a few random hookups but those were different. Now this happened? I need to keep focus. No having sex with someone unless I know them. Now how was I going to remember that when I'm drunk and high? Maybe I should lower my drinking and substance usage.

I drank a full bottle of wine. Hmm. I wanted more.

I got out of the apartment and to the local liquor store where Eddy worked. I entered inside and saw Eddy up front and walked over. "Eddy?"

"Hi Marley." He said. "Pretty girl like you I remember your name."

"I don't remember saying it."

"Your I.D." He said. He leaned in and whispered. "The fake one, remember?"

Wow..he knew then? "How did—"

"I can tell real and fake. It's fine though, you look old enough to drink with heavy make up on." He said to me. "It's been dead this week. Boss hasn't been in all this week either so I'm full stock of everything."

"I need red wine. Fancy kind. And some beer bottles." I told him.

"Right this way." He said and guided me to where the red wine was.

I followed him down to where the red wine was. He pointed out the different kinds and gave a background story on each bottle. Who made is and where it came from and how special it was and what even it could be used from. As he kept talking I looked around when Eddy wasn't looking and I noticed that the video cameras around the store weren't moving. Strange. "Those cameras aren't moving like the last time." I said.

"Oh yeah they're broken. Have been for a few days. We're getting new ones tomorrow." Eddy said. "And this one here is from a little vineyard in Germany, made by a couple of widowed sisters."

"Uh huh. Um, I'll take a couple of bottles the French ones. Oh and three bottles of the white wine you mentioned that went with the red ones." I said. "How much would that be?"

"Including the four, six pack of beer bottles?" He asked. I nodded. "One hundred fifteen dollars and thirty cents."

"What the fuck? What are these, specially made?" I asked in anger.

"Sure. But the box you can put them in are for free." He told me. He smirked and said, "Unless you can pay me back tonight." He winked.

"But I have plans..." I muttered. Damn, now what? I wanted these but couldn't afford them. Then an idea came to mind and since the camera's were off it seemed perfect. "What if I showed you something?"

"Depends on what you showed." He told me.

Smiling with a sexy gaze in my eyes I took off my jean vest and held it in my arm. I pulled the top half of my dress down and revealed my breasts to Eddy. His got a wild grin on his face and his eyes perked onto my breasts. "How's this for payment?"

"Beautiful," He said. His eyes never left view with me. "Those are beautiful. Your boyfriend is lucky."

"I know." I said. "Now can I get those for free?"

"Hmmm maybe," He said. "Two of them for free at least."

I took both of his hands and placed each one on my breasts, letting him feel their softness and he squeezed them. "How about now?"

"Two more free ones." He told me.

"How can I get them all for free?" I asked him.

He grinned. "I can lock the store for a break and I've got some condoms in my wallet," He told me. "Make love with me and you'll always get a discount here."

Damn. Why did I feel this would happen? Oh well, I don't mind. I'm not drunk or sober. But to be sure. "If we start and I change my mind, will you stop."

"Promise." He said.

"I'll break a wine bottle if you don't."

"Well Jesus lady I know that and for every bottle broken I have to pay for it. I'm already giving away over hundred dollars." Eddy said. "So we doing this?"

I nodded. "Yes."

Eddy guided me to the back of the store and showed me the room. The windows were locked and curtains closed. He went back to the front to help some customers and said he'd be right back. I sat down in a chair and waited for him, rubbing my breast with my hand.

"Don't do this Marley." A voice said. "Don't do this."

It sounded like Ryder, but it was probably just from the wine I had. So I ignored the voice.

Eddy came back into the room with a smile. "Ready?"

I nodded. "Ready."

We stripped down and fucked. All over the room. He was rough but fine. We did it once, then a second time and a third time. When he finished Eddy stood up and started to get dress. "That was good, you're a good one."

"Hmmm," I said sitting up, covering my torso. "So free wine now?"

"Yep. Free wine." He said. "I'll get it all set for you."

He left the room. I laid back and relaxed. Well that wasn't too pleasant but I got free wine out of it. I got up and re-dressed and got to the front carrying another bottle that was grape flavor I found. Eddy got it all set up for me and then I was on my way out.

"Come back soon," Eddy winked.

"Will do." I lied. Never again.

I got back to the apartment and put all the wine bottles away. I called and left a message for Cole telling him to come over around 9.

I got drunk and high again.

By the time Cole came over I was drunk and high off of crack and weed. Cole said I had a bloody nose, but he helped me with that. He had a few beer bottles while we watched a movie. We watched a second movie and halfway through that I stripped out of my jean vest and dress, taking my panties off too, and said, "Fuck me Cole!" He took his pants off, put a condom on and began trusting into me. We finished.

I took his hand and pulled him up and walked. "Where going?" He slurred.

"My room. We're gonna fuck in there again."

"Naughty girl."

"I know!" I giggled.

Whoa. Marley.
