Covering my mouth with my hands, I closed my eyes tightly. My cell phone began to ring, causing me to snap my eyes open. Fuck! I left it in the kitchen. It had to be the alarm company.
“Is that your lawyer calling, Sierra? How long were you fucking him? The whole time? Maybe before he took your case for his daddy. Is that why Mr. Walker’s son took your case, Sierra? Because you were fucking him, you damn whore!”
Jumping when Robert yelled out, I fought to contain my sobs. Shaking my head, I dropped my arms to my side and took in a deep breath. No. I will not let him do this to me again.
The doorknob to the bedroom began to wiggle. “You locked me out, baby? That hurts, Sierra. That really hurts. Open this damn door or I’ll kick it in.”
Quickly running to the closet, I looked at the small safe I had sitting there. For some reason I decided to keep it and walk out of the house with it last. Dropping to the floor, I started spinning the combination.
Robert began banging on the door. “Open the fucking door, you bitch!”
My hands were shaking so bad, I kept messing up the combination. One more number to go.
The door to the bedroom busted open as I screamed. The next thing I knew, Robert had grabbed a hold of my ponytail and pulled me backwards and dragged me out of the closet.
“Robert! Stop this! Please stop, this is not you!”
Reaching down, he picked me up and grabbed a hold of my arms as he began to shake me. “This isn’t me. You drove me to this, Sierra! Do you know that? I only fucked those other women because I wanted it rough. I like to fuck in the ass, Sierra and I would never do that to you. You were my perfect angel. So beautiful and untouched.”
Tears began to slide down my face as I looked into the eyes of a man I once loved. “Why are you doing this? You didn’t want me, Robert! You just said so.”
Dropping his hands from my arms, Robert took a few steps back as he looked at me with a look of horror on his face. “W-what?”
Swallowing hard, I fought to keep my tears from falling. My heart felt like it was going to pound right out of my chest as I struggled to get air into my lungs. “What do you mean I didn’t want you?”
Taking a step away from him, I said, “You cheated multiple times on me, Robert. You don’t go looking for something somewhere else. That’s something you don’t do to someone you love and want. You don’t treat them like a piece of trash.”
Pulling his head back he repeated my words. “Treat them like a piece of trash? Is that what I did to you, Sierra? Treat you like trash? I gave you a nice home, took you on trips. I adored you.”
His words cut through my heart like a knife. “You adored me?” Letting out a laugh, I shook my head. “You didn’t fucking adore me! You fucked my best friend in that nice home I helped pay for, you dickhead!”
Robert balled his fists together and took a few steps toward me. “Why do you have to make me angry, Sierra? Do you know how many times I had to stop myself from getting rough with you during sex? I wanted to fuck you so hard you’d feel me for hours after I dumped my load into you. I couldn’t do that to perfection though, so I had to go looking for them. They had to be blonde like you. Blue eyes were a must so that when I was fucking them, I could pretend I was with you.”
Looking away, I felt sick to my stomach with the way he was talking to me. “Look at me, Sierra! I don’t want to hurt you. I love you. I wanted you, Sierra. They were all just fillers.”
Backing up, I bumped into the bed and had to stop. “Robert, you don’t love me.”
Closing his eyes, he yelled out, “I love you! Fucking don’t tell me how I feel.” Quickly walking up to me, Robert grabbed my face with his hands and looked down at my lips.
Air. I can’t get in any air.
My whole body shook in fear as he squeezed my face. “You’re. Hurting. Me,” I whispered.
Moving his lips to my ear, Robert spoke softly. “Tell me you love me, Sierra.”
Closing my eyes, I felt my tears fall. “I don’t love you, Robert.”
“Open your fucking eyes and look at me, Sierra.”
Doing as he said, I quickly looked in my closet. “Do I need to remind you of the love we had for each other?”
A sob escaped my lips as I whispered, “No.”
Aaron. Oh God. I need you, Aaron.
Before I knew what was happening, Robert forced me onto the bed and began unbuttoning my shorts as I kicked and punched at him.
“No! Stop this now, Robert, or I swear to God I’ll kill you!” I screamed out. My cell phone began ringing again, but this time it was Aaron’s ringtone. Where in the hell were the cops? I didn’t answer my cell when the alarm company called, so they should have called the cops.
