Chapter 10

—Melissa

How did I get here so quickly with Shawn? One minute I was scared to be with him and now I have gone from having sex with the guy to moving in with him. It’s crazy and sudden but yet I feel like maybe this time I will get things right. He doesn’t want me dancing but I can’t let him pay mine and Jimmy’s way, so we are compromising. I will dance this weekend and at the New Year’s Eve party but after that I will still be the daytime manger part-time, so I can go back to school. I just worry that when I enroll Jimmy in preschool that it will make it easier for Jim to find us.

It’s weird that I haven’t heard from him. I figured the that the first thing he’d do was track down any of my relatives to see if I had run to them. Though I pretended to be indifferent to Shawn when I spoke of him to Jim. But still there has been nothing. Most days he doesn’t cross my mind but today as Shawn and I decide to take a big step he’s in the back of my mind haunting me.

I lean on the counter waiting for Jimmy’s fish sticks to get done. I look at the time on my phone’s display and get irritated. I have no new messages. I try Carmen one more time to see if her daughter can keep Jimmy tonight. I’m frowning at my phone when Shawn looks over my shoulder. “What’s wrong?”

“It’s Carmen. She’s still ignoring me about Marcella watching Jimmy tonight.”

“Listen, about that. It’s not you. It’s me.” I look back at him as he rubs my shoulders.

“Why do you say that?” I get an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach.

“She’s got a thing for me. I keep telling her to leave me the fuck alone, but she won’t listen, and I checked the records at the Cherry Room. I couldn’t find any proof of her working there. I am afraid she’s stalking me or some shit.”

“Stalking you?” I laugh. “Seriously?” I crinkle my nose thinking he’s exaggerating. “Have you given her any encouragement?”

“I’m not going to lie to you. She gave me a blowjob.”

My chest tightens and a pain I wasn’t expecting to feel strikes me right in the heart. “Are you for real? When? No. You know what, Shawn…don’t tell me.” I push him away and go to the oven to get Jimmy’s fish sticks out.

“Don’t be mad. We weren’t together.”

“Were you even going to tell me? Ouch. Shit!” I burnt my finger on the pan. I suck the throbbing digit into my mouth and Shawn comes up behind me hugging me around the waist. His lips brush over my ear and he squeezes my hips.

“I was watching you dance, and she just happened to be there.”

“Was this last night?” Tears burn in the corners of my eyes. His silence is all the confirmation that I need. I played with fire and like always I got fucking burned.
