Evelyn’s POV
“Why didn’t you help me? You just stood there and watched,” I yelled at Orion.
“Stop getting you knickers in a twist, Love. You needed to learn,” Ryland tells me, making me glare in his direction.
“Learn what? That doesn’t even make any sense,” I scream at him before walking back in the bathroom and grabbing my clothes off the bench. I go to pull off the towel to get dressed when Orion walks in handing me some clothes. They still have the tags on them, making me question when he had the time to buy them. “Get dressed we will be leaving soon; Thaddeus wants to get on the road.”
“I am not going anywhere with any of you,” I tell him, taking the clothes from him.
“You keep thinking I am giving you a choice, it’s not a choice,” Ryland said, walking into the bathroom. “We need to leave so we are leaving.”
“Whatever, just get out so I can get dressed,” I tell him, shutting the door in his face only for it to remain slightly open with not having a handle and lock. Sorting through the clothes, I find a pair of lace underwear and a bra. Picking up the thin strip of fabric, I groan. Argh, these are going to itch. I hear Orion from the other side of the door.
“What’s wrong?”
“Really lace? You couldn’t have got normal underwear?”
“They looked nice. Don’t girls like pretty things?” he asks, his tone sounded amused. I huff, annoyed before putting them on. Trying to pull the lace down that was now riding up my ass. Pulling the bra on, I look in the mirror. They look pretty but so uncomfortable. Now being able to see the damage, I brush my fingers over the bites mark. His nails were sharp like needles points and really made a mess of my hip. Grabbing a cloth, I try to clean the blood off. The cloth made my skin sting. I was covered in marks even my lips were bruised. Grabbing the shirt, I tug it over my head before pulling the jeans on. Even dressed, you could still see the bite marks on my breast and collarbone from the V neck top.
When I walk out Ryland is still in the bedroom, his eyes roaming over my body make me nervous. Suddenly I hear the familiar ringtone of my phone ringing loudly, and I walk out of the room in search of it. I look everywhere but can’t find it, just hear faintly ringing before it stops.
“What are you looking for?” Ryland asks as I pull couch cushions off the lounge.
“My phone,” I tell him, ignoring him. I continue pulling cushions off when I hear it ring again, only louder making me look at the glass sliding doors. I see Orion pull it from his pocket before pressing a button and dropping it back in his pocket. Annoyed, I slide the door open. Both Thaddeus and Orion lean on the railing overlooking the city, or what’s left of it. They both look over when they hear the door. Walking out, I move next to Orion before pulling on his pants. My phone ringing again from his pocket as I reach my hand into his pocket, pulling my phone out.
Thaddeus shakes his head turning back to look at the city and I glare at him as I answer it. Lisa calling.
“Geez girl, I have rung you about twenty-times this morning, where are you?” she asks. Thaddeus and Orion listening in and I am not sure how to answer that. Do I tell her the truth or lie? Both of them watching me to see what I say.
“I’m running late, I will be there soon,” I tell her before reaching in Orion’s other pocket and pulling his smokes out and stealing one.
“Anything else you want?” he asks, making me raise an eyebrow at him.
Lisa was chatting away about Meranda coming back to work. Thaddeus was glaring at me for some unknown reason. Lisa’s voice pulling my attention away from him.
“Evelyn, are you there?”
“Yes, I am still here,” I quickly answer her.
“Are you sure you’re okay. You are being really quiet.”
