The Stranger Behind My Orgasm novel Chapter 168

Chapter 168: A NEAR BRUSH WITH DEATH

Abigail

I squeezed my eyes shut. Annette’s hand found mine and I grabbed it so hard I felt her knuckles grind together.

The roar of the trailer filled my ears covering everything around us. The ground vibrated under the car, the headlights bled through the windshield and just when I was sure the trailer would hit us, nothing happened.

The roar reduced to a deep, growling rumble just outside the car window. My heart was hammered so hard against my ribs I could feel it in my throat and forehead.

My fingers locked tighter around Annette’s hand, every muscle in my body tensed with fear.

Slowly, I opened my eyes.

The trailer that almost hit us, sat inches from the driver’s side door.

Mere fucking inches. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

It was so close to our car that I could see the rust and grime along the bottom panel of the trailer.

The window of the trailer on the driver’s side rolled down and a man peeked out, his face half hidden under a black cap. All I could see was a shit-eating grin on his face as if almost hitting us with a freaking trailer was a joke.

Annette wheezed next to me, her free hand flying to her mouth. "Oh my God. Oh my God we’re alive!"

"Abigail Kellerman." The jackass in the trailer called, pointing a gun finger at me. "This is your final warning. Live your life and let sleeping dogs lie."

"It would be a waste to kill you, honey. This is the last and final warning you’ll be getting. Keep sticking your nose in our business, and it won’t be pretty."

The window rolled back up and the trailer pulled away. Annette screamed, grabbing something from the dashboard and hurling it at the retreating trailer.

"You absolute BASTARDS!" she screamed through the windscreen. "YOU COWARDS. COME BACK HERE AND SAY THAT TO MY FACE,"

"Annie." My voice sounded strange even to me. Hell, it felt like I had floated out of my body and was watching the whole thing play out in horror.

We almost died!

Breathing heavily, Annette turned to look at me.

Then we grabbed each other at the same time, her arms wrapping around me and mine around her. Her face pressed into my shoulder and mine buried in the crook of her neck.

Her whole body was trembling with raw, dazing fear. Mine was too, I realized. A full body tremor ran through both of us.

"We almost died," I forced out, blood rushing loudly through my ears.

"We’re okay," she whispered against my shoulder.

We stayed like that a few minutes, my head replaying the trailer barrelling towards us over and over.

Annette pulled back first, wiping her face roughly with the back of her hand.

"Let’s get out of here," Her fingers trembled as she turned on the ignition.

We didn’t say a word on the drive back home. I watched the streets move past the window, stunned to my bones.

This was different from Gavin stalking Anette or trying to choke me at the fucking bathroom. At least I could do something about those things.

I couldn’t do shit when that trailer approached us. Annie would have died because of me I could have died.
