Paradise Reawakened-Chapter 2

Blue knocked, she opened the door closing it behind her. Cheza walked from the kitchen, she smiled.
“Hey, you still wanna come with me today?” Blue asked. Cheza nodded her head walking back into the kitchen. Blue followed her looking to Kiba as he turned looking to her.
“Hey Kiba” she spoke.
“Hey Blue, Hige at work?” Kiba asked.
“Yeah, he gets off at eight” Blue spoke.
“Where are ya’ll going?” Kiba asked.
“She’s going to help me deliver flowers until I get off, then we’re going out to dinner” Blue spoke. Cheza walked over to Kiba in front of the sink
“Do you mind?” Cheza asked as Kiba smiled shaking his head.
“No, have fun” he spoke. Cheza smiled, she kissed his cheek then turning as her and Blue walked out of the apartment.


“Hey Tsume” Hige spoke walking up to him at the clock in/out station. Tsume turned his head a little looking to Hige. The manufactory was a huge building, with plenty of machines, and processing computers. The humming of the machines played in the air making it a bit hard to think in peace with a humming in your ear.
“Hey” he spoke as he punched in his digits, then started walking. Hige began following him.
“So you found yourself a girl yet?” Hige asked walking beside Tsume. Tsume looked to Hige for a moment.
“No, why do you care?” Tsume asked.
“Because their nice to have” Hige spoke putting his hands on the back of his head. Tsume rolled his eyes as Hige looked to Tsume.
“You’ve been working a lot, things okay?” Hige asked.
“Yeah, their fine” Tsume spoke turning a corner as some of the machines further ahead began to get louder.
“No wonder why you haven’t found a girl yet, because you work all the time” Hige spoke, Tsume glared at him for a moment.
“Watch it porky” Tsume spoke. Hige shook his head bringing his hands down.
“Later” Hige said walking past Tsume as Tsume took another corner down the stairs to the machine room. Tsume walked past a few other guys and their machines doing their own work, a few nodded their hello’s once making eye contact with Tsume. Tsume did the same in return. Once he got to his station, he put his gloves on, he sighed deeply looking to the machine, pressing a few buttons. Tsume stopped suddenly thinking about someone who he never really thought he would be thinking about. Tsume shook his head as he continued pressing the buttons turning on the machine for it to help support to the Energy lines that went to the other machines, kinda like a power line. The job wasn’t hard, he had to watch the lines, make sure there wasn’t any knots, then he went on down to the other machines, making sure they worked properly. Then once this work was done, we went to the computers to get supplies ready to ship out for the next day.


I opened my apartment door setting my small purse on the stand beside the door with my keys, turning I closed the door locking it along with the deadbolt. I turned walking into the living room kicking my shoes off, sitting on the couch. It was about 9:30, and I was more tired then ever for some odd reason. I laid on my back on the couch for a moment closing my eyes. The AC kicked on as the low humming filled certain areas in my apartment The place was completely dark except for a light on in the kitchen, kinda like a night light. I opened my eyes sitting up. I grabbed the remote turning the television on not really caring what was on T.V. A loud knock on the door startled me, I turned standing up walking over to the door. Unlocking the locks leaving the chained lock still on, I cracked the door until the chain became tight. My eyes widened as I looked at the man on the other side of the door.
“Go away Luke” I spoke closing the door, Luke placed a hand between the door and the door frame. I looked at his hand, then opened the door again.
“Let me in, can we talk….we really need to talk” he spoke. I looked to him for a moment, I closed the door unlatching the chain lock then opening the door all the way. Luke stood their looking at me for a good moment. I arched an eyebrow.
“Nikcorra, look, please…” I stopped him holding a hand up.
“Your drunk” I spoke. He arched an eyebrow.
“I can smell it” I spoke.

“Two drinks I swear, I am not drunk” he spoke. I looked at him for a moment more.
“Luke, no, I don’t trust you” I spoke, I started closing the door again, he put his arm in between the door and the door frame, he pushed the door open as the door flew out my hands hitting the wall behind it. I looked to him for a moment, he walked in grabbing the door closing it.
“Luke, get out” I spoke. He looked to me.
“Nikcorra, shut up, Five minutes is all I need” he spoke.
“That’s what a telephone is for” I spoke putting a hand on my hip.
“Look, listen to me. I am sorry, just please hear me out” He spoke. I shook my head.
“No, your going to give me the same crap” I spoke.
“What are you going to come up with now?” I asked.
“I didn’t do anything, Your dad is the one who told me to do it” he raised his voice. I shook my head looking to him.
“Don’t bring him into this, we have argued enough and we finally got things straight, I trust him more then I do you. He told me that you came to him asking him for his advice. He told you what he thought, and you assumed that he meant for you to do it. Then you went a head and took things into your own hands, and came here, and almost got me arrested for being with you that night…and what are you going to do everything people tell you, even if its advice?” I spoke placing a hand on my hip eyeing him.
“No, look. It was a screw up, things are good now” he spoke taking a step towards me. I took a step back.
“Luke, you tried to kill a guy because you went behind his back and took stuff from him, and he caught you and you didn’t want to get ratted out, then you came here, and the cops found you here and tried to arrest me as well” I spoke.
“You told them I knew about it…”I spoke.
“I didn’t know one damn thing about all of this until the cops showed up here at my door” I spoke.
“Look, like I said it was a screw up, and it was a miss understanding…” he spoke.

“Bullshit, Luke, stop lying to me, get out” I spoke grabbing for the door handle, Luke grabbed me by the arm slamming me up against the door. I looked at him wide eyed for a moment. The smell of beer on his breathe. He was drunk.
“Look, don’t be stupid, if you know what is good for you, you would take me back” he spoke. I starred at him for a moment.
“Luke, get off of me” I spoke firmly. Luke tightened his grip on my wrist.
“I’m not taking you back” I spoke up in a low voice. Luke brought a hand across my face slapping me hard, his ring leaving a stinging sensation across my check. I gulped as I narrowed my eyes.
“Get out” I spoke.
“I made a mistake, we all make them” he spoke as he let go of me walking a few feet away from me with his back facing me. I leaned up off the wall looking to him. Luke turned looking to me.
“I don’t care, if it involves you pulling shit on me and my father, I don’t need you” I spoke. Luke starred at me for a moment.
“Luke, get out” I spoke looking to the door. I grabbed the door handle. Luke walked over to the door, he stood in front of me looking to the door handle at my hand for a moment, he turned with his left hand holding a gun at my face. My eyes widened as I took a step back.
“You don’t want to do this” he spoke. I narrowed my eyes.
“Yes I do” I spoke.


Hige laid on his back untop of the comfy bedspread, he closed his eyes sighing. Blue walked out of the bathroom with a towel around her.
“Hey, I didn’t hear you come in” she spoke, Hige turned his head, he smiled as he sat up.
“Why don’t you ever greet me like that when I come home?” he asked. Blue arched an eyebrow looking to him placing a few strands of her wet hair behind her ear.
“Hige, because, what if Kiba came here or something?” she asked.
“I doubt that” he spoke. Blue shook her head, she turned walking back into the bathroom as Hige came up behind her hugging her nuzzling his nose on her neck tickling her. Blue laughed as she turned in his arms. Blue smiled as they looked at each other for a moment, Hige kissed her as he held her close against him. Blue wrapped her arms around his neck. Placing his hands around her sides, after a few moments they broke the kiss. Hige leaned his head against hers as he closed his eyes. Blue cuddled against Hige as he ran a couple of fingers along the cape of her back over the towel
“Cheza says Hi” Blue spoke softly running her fingers along the back of his neck.
“Hmm…okay” he spoke softly closing his eyes. Blue smiled nudging her head against his.
“Long night?” she asked.
“Yeah, we had a lot of work to do” he spoke leaning back looking at her. Blue placed a hand on the side of his face as he kissed her forehead gently
“I’m hungry…what’s good to eat babe” he spoke tickling her side for a moment turning walking out the room. Blue shook her head laughing.


Kiba walked into the house closing the door behind him locking it, Cheza walked out of the kitchen, she smiled looking at him. Kiba turned looking at her, he walked over to her smiling.
“Hi” she spoke.
“Hey” he spoke. She hugged him as he held her gently against him. She leaned back in his arms.
“How was your day?” he asked.
“It was fun…the flowers are so beautiful” she spoke. Kiba smiled.
“Yeah..” he spoke. Cheza smiled as kissed him gently on the lips. Kiba smiled at the taste of her sweet lips on his as she broke the kiss.
“I made something for you, come” she spoke grabbing his hand walking him into the kitchen.


I fell on the floor holding myself up with my arms, I gulped as the door slammed shut behind me. I closed my eyes tight as the feeling of weakness began to fall over me again. I shook my head standing up, stumbling to the door, I slammed against it. I locked the locks with my hand trembling, I turned my head walking to the phone on the end table grabbing it dialing a phone number with my finger tip as my hand trembled.
“Hello?” a deep male voice spoke up. I turned walking to the couch plopping down
“Daddy” I spoke. The man on the other end of the phone stopped walking in his tracks as his associates stopped beside and behind him.
“Nikcorra, Sweetie, are you alright?” he asked as he nodded to the men to go on. They nodded in return as they started walking.
“Daddy, Luke came by, we got into a fight” I spoke as my voice began to crack as tears formed in my eyes.
“Sweetie, what happened?” he asked as he turned walking to the wall for a moment walking out of the middle of the hallway.
“He stopped by, I told him to go away…when I went to close the door he pushed it open, the door flew out of my hands hitting the wall…we started arguing, then he started hitting me..” I trailed off. My father sighed deeply shaking his head.
“Alright baby, you know I have two more days up here, I can’t come down” he spoke.
“I know…” I spoke as a few tears ran down my face.
“Do you need to go to the hospital?” he asked.
“No, I’m alright…” I spoke.
“I can tell your not sweetie. Look, don’t stay there tonight, go to a friends, how about Kat?” he asked.
“She’s not home remember, she’s at her moms” I spoke.
“How about that boy you know from the library, what’s his name?” he asked. I arched an eyebrow.
“Toboe?” I asked.
“Yeah, him, go to his house if he will let you. When I get back, I’ll take care of this” he spoke. I gulped as I sighed.
“I don’t want you staying there by yourself tonight baby” he spoke. I gulped as tears formed in my eyes.
“Alright, I’ll ask Toboe if I can stay the night..” I spoke.

“Are you feeling alright…how bad did he hurt you?” he asked.
“I don’t feel good….he didn’t hurt me to bad” I spoke whipping a couple tears off my cheek.
“What’s to bad in your database?” he asked worried.
“He kicked me a couple of times and hit me….that’s it” I spoke.
“Alright baby, as soon as I get back I’ll take care of this. Now call your friend alright, I’ll call you tomorrow sweetie” he spoke. I gulped.
“I love you daddy” I spoke.
“I love you too sweetie” he spoke as he hung the phone up, he sighed deeply turning walking down the hallway.
