Amberly

I watched as Saint wrapped up the plate of food I hadn’t eaten and put it in the fridge. I was very thirsty. But for some reason, I just couldn't eat much. I mean, I knew the reason. I just didn’t want to think about the reason.

About how starvation was used as a tactic to break women in that place.

I stole glances at Saint as he cleaned dishes in the sink. His back rippled with muscles I didn’t know existed and his long legs called to my fingertips. I drew in a deep breath as I forced my eyes away from his body, then settled against the kitchen seat. I gripped my coffee and drew in its scent. It’d been years since I’d had a decent cup of it. I closed my eyes, remembering back to the first time Dad caught me drinking coffee. The first time Dad caught me “defiling my body” with something other than what it needed.

Which was water.

“What are you doing!?” he roared.

I flinched as I whipped my head around, watching my father storm through the coffee shop. My mouth gaped open as his hand jutted out, ripping the plastic cup from my hands. He tossed it into the trash before gripping my arm. I watched my new friend’s face drop before she quickly pushed away from the table. And as my father dragged me out of that coffee shop, I knew two things were for certain.

That girl would avoid me at school at all costs now, and I wouldn't be able to sit down for three whole days.

“Amberly?” Saint asked.

I jumped at the sound of his voice. “Sorry. Um, yes? What is it?”

I peeked over at him and saw him staring at me carefully.

“Do you want more creamer for your coffee?” he asked.

I shook my head. “No, no. I’m okay. Thank you, though.”

“You’re welcome.”

I felt him staring at me and I closed my eyes. I took another sip of my coffee, trying to push the memory of that moment away. How I’d lost yet another friend due to my parent’s actions. How much my ass cheeks burned after my father was done with that fucking belt. It made me sick to think about. But it didn’t stop me from sipping my mug of coffee.

It did, however, keep me from enjoying the coffee to its fullest.

“Morning,” Sutton said.

I peeked over my shoulder and saw her drag herself over to the table. She picked up a plate and started scooping up food, then plopped down beside me in a chair. She gave me a lopsided, tired little smile before Saint placed a mug of coffee down in front of her. And as I gazed up into his face, I saw him toss me a little wink.

A wink that filled my stomach with a thousand happy butterflies.

“Sleep well?” Sutton asked, yawning.

I nodded. “I did, yes. Did you?”

“Better than I have in a while. I always sleep well when I’m with Cage.”

“Cage?”

“My boyfriend,” she said, giggling.

“Oh, that’s right. Sorry, I’d forgotten his name.
