Chapter Six

"N o, no, no, you can not be here!" There was nothing I could do to stop Chastity from blazing straight past me.

She walked right to the living room; brown paper bag in hand which was hiding what looked like a bottle of whiskey. Great.

"I just - I needed... can I just stay here for a while?" She was bleary eyed like she'd been trying to cry her makeup off. It had partially worked and black streaks ran down her face, making her black eye look more bruised than it might have been.

"No! For one I don't even know you and for two my girlfriend will literally kill you right after she kills me. You have to go." I opened the front door with a prayer that she might recognise that this is bat-shit crazy.

"I didn't know you had a girlfriend." She sniffed and took a swig of the brown bag. Her face was puffy and blotchy and her lip was definitely bleeding now.

"Yes, you did." I knew her type intimately. "You had my wallet, you would have seen the picture inside."

Most people looked away when they were caught in a lie but not her. Chastity actually stared me down. For a moment I was scared she was going to flip and murder me, instead a small smile turned the corners of her mouth up which made me want to kick myself because right then I couldn’t stop from thinking how pretty she was underneath it all.

"I just need to lay low for a while..." She didn't take the hint. She was going to make this difficult. "This is a really nice place you have - considering your only source of income is a bar and a salon, just how do you afford this place?" She was looking around but I didn't miss the way her body language had shifted to the girl on the street; the one who was a survivalist.

Explaining my financial situation was the last thing I wanted to do with her and I didn't miss the comment about the salon. If I didn’t know any better I'd say it was a threat but it was too early to tell. I might have just been too tired and old habits, etcetera.

"Let me get you something for your lip."

I walked to the kitchen and she followed. I could feel her eyes touching everything I owned like she was cataloging my life. This was my home, this was my new life. A familiar anger burned up in my throat at yet another person trespassing in it.

I handed her a bag of frozen blueberries to her and she pressed it to her lip, wincing when the iciness touched the swelling.

"Not that I'm offering but do you need me to sort this out for you?" I wasn't one to resort to violence anymore but if there was one thing I couldn't stand by and watch it was someone beating on a woman. A girl, really.

"It's nothing, just a misunderstanding," She said from behind the berries.
