Tink
The dinner with Markus’s parents was interesting, I felt like such a fraud in the dress. The heels I loved, but the effort I had to put in just going out to dinner just didn't feel worth it. “So, KC, where are you from” Markus’s mother, had asked me
“A small town in Idaho,” I tell her, and she scrunches her nose slightly but smiles
“Idaho well I can honestly say I haven't been there, are your parents still there.”
“No” is all I say not wanting to elaborate on my upbringing.
“Do you have any siblings.”
“No”
“Mother please leave Tink be” Marcus tell her
“I'm just curious about the women my son is dating that's all, I'm sure I haven't been too nosy isn't that right KC,” she asks me.
“No” is all I say again and Markus’s Dad clears his throat, and Maria looks at him
“KC's business is her own dear, I'm sure if she wants us to know anything she'll tell us” I smile at him but his mother seems pissed. The rest of the night I sit and watch how Markus and his family interact and it's a lot different from Lilly and I where we just flow, they all seem very uptight and very formal. How can anyone live like that? By dessert, I just wanted to leave and rip this horrible dress off and lay in a pair of sweats on the couch and veg. I smile at that thought and try and imagine Markus’s mother being like that I bet she doesn't even own a pair of sweatpants. As we walk out of the restaurant, Markus has his hand at the small of my back guiding me through the doors. He's so sweet, and I really like that about him, but I just don't feel that electric buzz I get when I'm near Jaxson (damn Jaxson where are you) even after bugging Stryker and Tiny they wouldn't tell me anything so I tried Socket and Cuff still nothing. I was so annoyed I just wanted to make sure he was ok.
“You ok Tink” Markus whispers but I just smile.
“All good” he kisses me on the cheek opening the car door for me.
“Well KC dear it was a pleasure to me you,” Markus’s father says kissing me on the cheek as well his mother stepping forward to kiss me on the cheek but never makes contact.
“Lovely to meet you KC” is all she says kissing Markus on the cheek
“Good night mother, Dad,” he says, and I wonder why he's so formal with his Mom and not with his Dad. As we pull up to his house, I turn to look at him
“Are you not taking me home.”
“I thought you would like to stay the night” I really don't, but I don't say anything. I get out of the car, and Markus waits for me at the front of the car
“You really do look stunning Tink,” he says, and I smile
“Thank you” we walk into his cold black and grey house, and I shiver
“Are you cold,” he asks me
“Just a little” even though it's not the heat of the house it's the atmosphere of it.
“Would you like a drink.”
“That would be nice.”
“Wine”
“Do you have anything stronger.”
“I have some brandy.”
“Sounds good” I head over to the sofa and sit.
“Here you go” he hands me the amber liquid in a small crystal glass, and I sit back
“Something on your mind,” he asks.
“Not really.”
“Tink, you've been quiet all night.”
“Just thinking about life lately that's all,” I tell him.
“Life,” he says, and I nod my head “A life with me” I bite my lip, and he smiles “I've been thinking a lot about you Tink” I look at him
“You have.”
“I have” he leans over the side of the sofa and opens the side drawer pulling out a black leather ring box.
“Markus,” I say in shock (fuck is he going to propose)
“Tink,” he says, and I shake my head
“Markus, please don't” but he gets up and kneels down on one knee in front of him.
“I wanted you to meet my parents before I done this and they love you,” I think he's on something because his Mom hates me
“Markus, please don't do this,” I tell him again.
“Look Tink I know your nervous but I lo...”
“Markus stop” I jump up and step away from him.
“Tink,” he says looking confused
“No Markus I don't want to marry you,” I tell him.
“But where great together,” he says
“We haven't even slept together, and we've only been dating a few months.”
“I love that you’re waiting, it means our wedding night will be amazing.” (Oh god he's crazy)
“No Markus, I can't marry you” he stands up frowning at me.
“Is it that biker” I look at him
“What?”
“One of the twins.”
“Markus”
“It is, isn't it, what the fuck does that fucking criminal have that I don't?” I'm taken back it's the first time I've heard Markus shout let alone swear
“Markus, Jaxson has nothing to do with this”
“Bullshit, I see how you pine over him.”
“Don't you fucking dare, you don't know me you only see what you want to see,” I tell him getting pissed off.
“What don't I know?” he asks.
“Look, Markus, we've had fun, but I just don't have those sorts of feelings for you,” I tell him honestly
“You fucking cock-tease,” he says
“Excuse me.”
“You heard me; I bought you a nice dress and shoes, did you say thank you know I pay for everything.”
“What the fuck are you talking about, I told you I would pay for myself, so don't you dare accuse me of taking you for a ride.”
“Oh, I wouldn't dream of it, are you even a virgin or have you fucked all those men at that clubhouse your sister is marrying in to”
“What the fuck did you say?”
“You heard me, I bet you've fucked them all” I grab my bag and pull my phone out to call Lilly to come and get me, the phone is slapped out of my hand and goes flying against the wall smashing.
“You, asshole” I yell and as my back is turned Markus grabs my hair.
“Let’s see if you’re a virgin or not you little slut” the fight to stay alive kicks in, I spin around and slap Markus in the face even though he still has my hair in his grasp. He slaps me hard, and I fall to the floor hard my four-inch heels are not the ideal shoes to argue in. I hit the floor hard landing on my side pain radiates through my hip, and I scream, my arm that I tried to stop my fall me burns with pain. I don't think it's broken, but it fucking hurts. Markus pulls at my legs, and I kick out at him, his face contorts into a face of a person I don't know “Come here you bitch” he yells pulling at my legs, trying to get them open but I kick, and one of the heels gets him in the thigh. He pulls me to him more punching me in the face. I'm stunned for a minute as he pulls me closer to him, pulling my dress above my hips and rips my panties off. My head is screaming in agony, and I feel his fingers at my entrance, and he slams them in, and I scream, he covers my mouth with his hand trying to unbutton his trousers. I bite his fingers hard and he leans up giving me time to kick him in the balls. I scramble back grab my phone and bag and run out the door as fast as I can my hip arm and head screaming in agony. I run as much as I can, and when my lungs are burning, I stop. I walk as fast as I can, looking back the whole time to see if Markus follows me. I make it home in about an hour and sit out on the front step; I just can't go in. I sit there for what feels like hours when Lilly comes out
“Tink why are you sitting out here,” she asks as she sits next to me and I burst into tears “Tink what's wrong what happened”
“Lilly” is all I say holding onto her so tight
“You're frightening me Tink what happened?” I cry so hard drenching her t-shirt with my tears when she lifts my face up and freezes “What the fuck Tink what happened?” I cry harder my head now pounding my hip on fire and my arm screaming with pain “Tink please do you want me to call Stryker” The guys have been away for their annual run to Sturgis, I shake my head no “Tink what happened?”
“Markus tried to rape me.”
“WHAT?” I cry so hard again the tears just don't seem to stop
“Come on.”
“Where are we going?”
“The hospital.”
“No, I can't.”
“Move it now Tink; I'm not fucking around” I go to stand up and scream in agony
“What hurts?” she asks worriedly
“My arm and hip.”
“Come on” she helps me up and to the car
