“Trevas
stop,” she demanded, and continued to unzip his jeans, and he let out a soft
moan when he felt her take him in her hand. She continued to stroke him and
then stopped and took a step back. She pulled herself back on the bed and stared
at him, telling him what to do with her eyes. He came to her uncontrollably and
took her mouth again while his hands explored her breast. He moved his left
hand behind her naked back and ran the other one down her chest, her stomach
and down to between her legs. Although she still had on the black silky panties
the touch of his hand caused her to gasp, and him to moan.

Trevas
slid her out of her panties and looked down at her beautiful young body and
then he smirked a little.

“What
are you laughing at? You’re making me self-conscious,” she asked.

“You
shave,” he replied with a warm smile.

“Are
you not okay with that?”

“Oh,
I’m more than okay with it,” he stated, and moved his fingers between her legs,
which caused her to gasp again.

“Promise
me, you are on the pill, Alley?”

“I
swear,” she whispered trying to tell her own self to breath now.

Trevas
removed his jeans and came between her legs. “Alley we really shouldn’t do
this,” he said before he got to close.

“Damn
it Trevas,” she scolded and then she felt him enter her.

Trevas
moved into her, felt the barrier and applied a little more pressure and felt
something let go and at the exact moment that he felt it, she grabbed the
sheets in her hands and let out a moan, but it wasn’t a moan of pleasure, it
was a moan of pain, and he could tell the difference. He pulled out of her and
looked at her confused. He looked down, seeing the blood and knew exactly what
had just happened.

“Jesus
Christ Alley, you’re a virgin?”

“Trevas
don’t stop,” she begged, but he was too freaked out to continue, and he moved
off of her.

“I’m
so pissed at you right now Alley,” he yelled, pulling on his jeans.

“Why?”

“Why
didn’t you tell me, you were a virgin?”

“Why
does it matter? And besides I don’t think I am anymore,” she stated, trying to
lighten the mood but it wasn’t working and she knew it. She got up and went
into the bathroom to clean herself up.

Trevas
couldn’t believe that she was a virgin and walked around in circles, running
his hands through his hair. What the hell was he doing? What the hell was he
thinking? What the hell did he just do?”

“Are
you looking for something?” she asked, infuriated when she came out, and he was
going through her bag.

He
didn’t answer, and she grabbed it away from him. She unzipped a zipper on the inside
and pulled out the little round white plastic container. “Do you want to count
them too,” she snapped, showing him the pills. “What the fuck are you worried
about that for anyway? You may have stolen my virtue but you never left a trail
from stopping by, so in case you’re too fucking stupid to figure it out, it
doesn’t work that way.”

“Take
me home,” she demanded, opened the apartment door and walked out.

They
drove home in silence. Alley didn’t understand why he was so mad, and Trevas
didn’t understand why she didn’t tell him.

The
cleaning lady was still there and was coming down the stairs with a load of
sheets. Alley of course went straight to her room and slammed her door. Trevas
heard the music playing loudly from her room and hoped that she stayed there
until her dad got home. She never came down the rest of the day and Trevas
didn’t cook. He could hear her pour a bowl of cereal late at night, and he
refused to come out of his room. He wasn’t going to be anywhere near her for
the rest of his stay, and if that meant that she lived in her room and only
came out at night like a bat, then that was fine by him.

Alley
felt the exact same way. If he wanted it this way, then that was what he was
going to get. She would have rather been mad at him then feeling all the stupid,
love sick things that she was feeling just hours before anyway. She didn’t need
that, and anger and bitterness was more of what she was accustomed to, it felt
more normal than the unwanted feelings she was having about Trevas.

Trevas
entered the gym the next morning and was taken aback when she was up, and already
in there running on the treadmill. She turned and glared at him, and he
returned the angry look and left her. He grabbed a granola bar and went to the pool
to wait for her to go back to her room, which was only about twenty minutes
later and she disappeared back upstairs. When Trevas came back inside her phone
was ringing on the island, and he picked it up, seeing dad on the screen, and
he answered it.

“Hey
Fletcher, Alley left her phone downstairs. If you want to hang on I will run it
up to her,” he offered.

“I’m
kind of busy here Evans, do you know what she wanted? She has called four times
already.”

“No
sir, she doesn’t really talk to me,” he replied, not really lying because she wasn’t
talking to him. “Do you want me to give her a message or have her call you
back?”

“Just
tell her that I will be home Saturday morning for a couple of days and if it's
something that she needs before then, then yes tell her to call me back, but to
wait until about four o’clock your time.”

“Thank
God,” Trevas thought and couldn’t wait to get out of there for a couple of
days. He wondered why she was calling her dad, and hoped that she wasn’t going
to say anything about their brief relationship. He waited until he knew that
she had her phone and text her.

“Your
dad called, he will be home Saturday for a couple of days. He said to tell you
that if you need him before then to call around four.”

He
never got a response, which didn’t really surprise him, and he never saw her
again that night. He kept telling himself to get through Friday, and he could get
the hell out of there for a couple of days. That is what he needed. He needed
to get away from her and back to his comfort zone.

He
made a nice dinner from a cooking show and left her a plate in the
refrigerator, which she consumed around midnight.

They
never spoke again on Friday and only glared at each other the two times that
she did come down. He again left her a plate in the refrigerator, and was
excited when he went to bed for her dad to be home the next day.

Trevas
was woken before daylight and he looked at the neon clock reading six a.m. He
poked his head out and saw Simon and Fletcher and immediately got dressed and
went out.

“Didn’t
mean to wake you,” Fletcher apologized, looking tired.

“It’s
okay I have some things that I need to take care of, and was hoping Simon could
give me a ride.”

Simon
dropped him off at his apartment, and he lay across his bed, closed his eyes
and felt something in his hand. He opened one eye, picked up the black hair tie
and stretched it between his thumb and finger, thinking about Alley being in
his bed, almost feeling guilty for being so mean to her. He flipped the springy
hair tie across the room and shook his thoughts. It had to be this way and was
for the best.

Trevas
called Chase later in the day and told him to meet him at the Breeze around
nine because he was free from the Fletcher nightmare for two days, and didn’t
have to be back until Monday morning.

Trevas
spent the day in his apartment trying not to be bored. He tried to call Selena,
but she answered briefly, telling him that she was in the middle of a shoot,
and she would talk to him later and hung up. He definitely needed relief after
the last couple of weeks, and who knows maybe getting that with Selena would
calm the fires burning within himself about Alley. He tried his best to keep
Alley off his mind, but she kept coming back and he had to will himself not to
call or text her.

He
made himself a steak and then showered and got ready to go out, get drunk and
have a good time. He wore jeans, a white knit shirt and a black jacket.

 Chase
and his wife Sara were already there, and they waved him to their table. He
smiled when he saw them and then lost it when he saw Selena with them. Yes, he
had tried to call her earlier, but when he saw her he wasn’t interested
anymore. He knew that she would want to go home with him and for some reason,
and he knew what that reason was, he didn’t want her to.

Selena
stood, and he tried to kiss her on the cheek, but she turned and he was forced
to kiss her on the lips. He shook Chase’s hand and kissed Sara on the cheek.
Chase ordered them all drinks and Trevas looked around. He saw a couple actors
that he recognized and the rap singer J-ling.

The
club was pretty full, and the music was a little loud, but after a couple of
drinks,  he did relax and was having a good time, except for the fact that Selena
was all over him and he was trying to figure out a way to get rid of her. He
didn’t want her to go home with him, and he didn’t want to have sex with her,
which made no sense at all. She was a beautiful blonde that loved sex, and he
was crazy for thinking the way that he was, and he knew it.

“Oh,
I love this song,” Sara told Chase, pulling him to the dance floor.

Selena
tried to get Trevas to dance as well, and he lied, telling her that he had
twisted his ankle and got out of it.

“That
was fast,” Trevas told Chase when they were only gone for a couple of minutes.

“Yeah
and so was your fun night,” Chase replied.

“What?”
Trevas asked, not understanding.

“You
just got put back on the clock my friend.”

“What
the hell are you talking about Chase,” he asked, wondering if he was already drunk.

“Look
to the middle of the dance floor.”

“I’m
looking. I don’t see anything.”

“Look
harder, right toward the middle.”

“I still….”
Trevas started to say, when he saw Alley dancing, wearing extremely short black
silky shorts, and a transparent longed sleeved black shirt covering a black
bra. She was dancing with a muscular man covered in tattoos, a lot older than
even Trevas was.

“Son
of a bitch,” he yelled and got up.

“Trevas
what are you doing?” Selena wanted to know. “You are not even on the clock, you
are not going anywhere,” she demanded.

Trevas
looked down at her. “Chase explain to Selena how this all works,” he said only
talking to him and not looking at him.

“He
has to go Selena if her dad found out Trevas knew she was in here and didn’t do
anything about it, we would never work for him again,” Chase explained.

Selena
got close to his ear. “If you leave Trevas, I will not be going home alone,”
she threatened.

“I’m
sure it wouldn’t be the first time,” he countered and walked away from her. Chase
followed not sure if there was going to be a fight with the guy she was with.
He was shocked when Trevas walked to the dance floor and punched the guy in the
face. He didn’t even try to talk the girl out of there or explain to the man
that she was only seventeen.

“What
the fuck are you doing?” Chase asked, grabbing him as the guy came back
swinging. Alley stood back shocked herself, and Trevas went after the guy again
and the bouncers were there in a split second, breaking it up.

Trevas
took his jacket off and slung it at Alley. “Put it on,” he demanded, and she did.
He grabbed her by the arm pulling her out of the club.

“Get
off of me,” she yelled, jerking away from him, once they were on the sidewalk.

He
grabbed the jacket again and pulled her to where his car was parked, unable to speak
to her at that moment, he was so mad at her.

“I
am not your problem Trevas,” she yelled. “You are not even on the clock.”

“You
fucking put me back on it when you showed up here dressed like that. What the
fuck are you doing here?” he asked, fuming.

“The
same thing you are,” she screamed.

“And
what is that?” he asked.

“Go
ask you little girlfriend in there?” she screamed.

“Get
in the car Alley,” he talked through gritted teeth.

“I’m
not going anywhere with you.”

“Fine,
then let’s call daddy,” he threatened and took his phone from his pocket.

“Hang
the fucking phone up Trevas.”

Trevas
put it back in his pocket and opened the door for her. He got in the driver’s seat
and ran his hands through his hair.

“How
did you get in there?” he wanted to know, trying not to yell.

“The
same way I always get in,” she snapped.

“Why
were you there?”

“I
told you why, and furthermore it’s none of your business.”

“It
is my business, and I don’t want you doing anything like that again,” he
demanded, and she snickered.

“Hey
Trevas,” she said. “Fuck you, you’re not my dad, and I don’t need you. Why
don’t you go back in there and take your little girlfriend home? I bet you
don’t even have to worry about her being a fucking virgin.”

“I
wasn’t going to take her home Alley,” he told her in a more calm voice which in
turn calmed her down.

“Do
you promise?” she asked, and although he wanted to now, tell her that it was
none of her business, he didn’t and only replied, “yes.”

“Where
does your dad think you are?”

“In
my room, he’s having a party.”

“I
have to take you home,” he said, starting the car and pulling out.

“Call
him and warn him first,” she said, knowing that he was going to take her home,
and her dad was going to be furious with her.

Trevas
didn’t reply and continued to drive.

“Where
are you going?” she wanted to know, when he was going in the wrong direction.

He
didn’t answer and continued to drive, turning down a dark alley and came out on
another street where he turned down again and parked in a dark abandoned
warehouse parking lot.
