CHAPTER 1: NEW LOVER
Mom dropped me off at Dominoes, that was where he worked. Dillon, my boyfriend at the time, wanted to "show me off" to one of his buddies. When I got out of mom's car I went to sit with him in his Camaro. Of course he went over the "rules" with me, the usual overprotective boyfriend, no excessive talking, no hugging, and above all no contact with his friend at all in any way fashion or form or he'd break his neck. I sat in silence listening to Dillon brag about some cool new move he'd done in his Camaro lately that involved running from cops and threats of jail, I was really fed up with this bullshit. I tried to listen intently though, because if he thought for an instant that I wasn't paying attention to him he'd knock the shit outta me.
Then a silver Honda Civic pulled into the parking lot, I could feel his presence. This 'new guy' was really something. Then Dillon looked at me like a stern father looks at his son while telling him not to touch his porn collection and said," Stay in the car until I tell you otherwise," usually I obeyed his every word, it was either that or get chastised and hit like I was three, but this time I couldn't help myself. I got out of the car and look upon a Greek god, his hair was brown and just below his eyebrows, resting ever so slightly on the rim of his glasses; and his eyes, oh God! His eyes were so deep and full of pain. I couldn't even see what color they were, and yet I could see straight into him. He stared back at me, then smiled after a few minutes and reached out to embrace me," I'm Daniel," he said as his hands slid around my waist. I felt a spark pass between us as we held each other," I'm Cami," I whispered as we parted," it's very nice to meet you."
Dillon didn't like what he saw, he scolded me and was very rough with me that night in bed. Not like his 5 inch penis was much of a tool to be rough with a girl, but since he was my first I considered it rough.
Daniel continued to come around and work on cars with Dillon, the one thing Dillon actually loved in the world. He would put his cars as his number one priority, there were times when we wouldn't go out because he had to wash one of them, or redo something on it. It became more and more difficult not to talk to Daniel, we soon realized we had so much in common. We both loved the arts and were into kickboxing and Japanese culture excited us.
Months rolled by and soon it was around the Fourth of July, Dillon threw a party and invited all his friends, including Daniel, to come get drunk with him. Dillon got wasted and I too was feeling kinda tipsy when all hell broke loose. Dillon is a violent drunk we soon came to know, and a guy who's 6 foot 4 weighing in at around 287 pounds can be dangerous. I remember hiding from him and Daniel staying by my side, helping me walk and keeping me safe from both Dillon and furniture--I'm rather clumsy sometimes even when I'm not drunk--and helping me up when I busted my ass.
I don't know why, but I saw something shiny--a knife--and decided to pick it up," Hey Daniel, it's shiny!" I giggled as I showed him my prize.
"Cami, give Daniel the shiny," he coaxed me, I tripped on the way there and somehow landed on top of him straddling his torso. I looked into those deep eyes of his and saw that he wanted to kiss me. I imagined what it would be like to kiss those rose petal soft lips of his, I wondered if he was a good kisser. Somewhere in the midst of this Dillon was ready to pass out, I was slightly coming off of my buzz and got a cool cloth to dab at his face. I sat next to him and tried to convince myself that I still loved him and didn't want anything to do with Daniel, suddenly Dillon looked up at me and his eyes flashed with anger," Bitch!" he snarled and hit me so hard he knocked me into the hall, Daniel caught me and held me in his arms,' No,' I thought,' you weren't supposed to see this, Daniel.' My ears were ringing as I felt blood trickle down my lips and onto my T-shirt," Hey Cami, baby, you ok?" even though it hurt like hell I opened my eyes and looked up at him, I could see the rage he was trying to contain," Yeah, Daniel," I managed," I'm fine."
"Here, let me get you something for that," he carried me to the kitchen and got ice for my lip and nose, which were still stinging. He talked softly to me as he wiped the blood away," It's ok Cami, don't cry..."
After that night it was impossible to get him out of my head, Dillon kept getting meaner and meaner and soon Daniel was all I thought about. I remembered him giving me his phone number and telling me to call him if I ever needed him. The pain in his eyes was so intense I had to look away when I told him I would. I pulled my cell phone out of my purse and called him, feeling extremely stupid and hoping he would pick up but then again that he wouldn't. Memories of me sitting on top of him that night I got drunk flashed back at me and I remembered the expression on his face when-----
"Hello? Cami? You there hun?" his velvet smoothe voice asked on the other end.
"Yeah, hey Daniel..."
