To hurt you any more, I was just really pissed at you” he said trying to sound reassuring. She looked at him with the yeah-right look, does he really expect me to buy that. He could already see the bruise forming on her face, which only helped him to feel worse. He wished he could make it up to her. The he had an idea, my brothers going to kill me for this. He turned back to the computer and hacked into Kelly’s bank account.
She wouldn’t need it anyways. “What’s your last name?” he asked “why?” she asked .Oh great were back to that. “Do you have an account were Kelly banks?” he asked, “Yes”, she replied puzzled, “it’s the only bank in town.” She said so he looked her up under her first name. Couldn’t be too many people with the first name Raven in a small town. The screen came back with a ‘Raven Malache’; pretty name sounds French he thought.
He downloaded all of the money in Kelly’s account into Raven’s. Then he closed both accounts, wouldn’t do to get her caught. Then he closed it and transferred it to one of Cobra’s banks. Now with all of the money in both accounts in a bank Cobra controls, she would have no choice but to work for them. “There all done” he stated. “What did you do?” she asked curious. “Oh I just transferred what Kelly took back to our accounts,” he said trying to get a rise out of her.
Figures I go to all the trouble to rob the guy and he steals it back. “I also put some of it into an account for you” he stated, pausing to let the words sink in. Huh, she thought dumbfounded at first. Why the hell did he do that, what was it some sort of hush money? “Of course you’ll only get it if you work for us” he said Damn him, I knew there was a catch. “Oh I also emptied out what was left in there and closed the account.” He said. Damn him, what the hell is he trying to do to me.
“I really meant it when I said you would be perfect for Cobra” he said ‘what happens if I refuse?” she asked, “then I have to shoot you miss Malache” he answered smiling. She froze how in the hell did he know that. “I also have your home address, so if you run I can still find you,” he said smirking at her. That swelling eye was getting worse best get some ice for it. Tomax got up, walked over to the fridge, and opened the freezer. He pulled out a bag of frozen vegetables, guess that will have to do. He walked back over to her and placed it on her cheek for a moment. Realizing that she couldn’t possibly hold it in place.
He helped her to her feet and walked her back to the couch, she was staring at him. He helped her lay down on her side and placed the ice pack under her check. “There that outta help,” he said softly. He gently lifted the edge of her shirt; he wanted to check to see if he had broken anything.
He found himself wishing they had met under better circumstances, and then maybe she would have consented to a date. She was definitely the kind of woman he would have been interested in. He was kneeling beside her; Raven could see him out of the corner of her eye. The hand on her side made her uncomfortable. The fact that it felt more like a caress was very confusing. Tomax reached across and gently brushed the hair out of her eyes. “Please forgive me,” he whispered more to himself than to her. She heard him say it, he actually sounded regretful. His proximity still mad her nervous. He kissed her gently on the forehead, vowing to himself that he would treat her better tomorrow.
He stood up and walked back into the kitchen, guess I should make us dinner. He opened the freezer once again and pulled out two TV dinners, since that all that was in there. He took the two-marked fettuccini and threw them in the microwave. He walked back into the dining room took off his suit jacket and removed his tie. He unbuttoned his shirt and pulled it off so he was in his under shirt. He stood there watching her, trying to decide what to do about her.
Raven was perplexed what was with this guy? One minute she thought he was going to beat her to death. Now he’s making them dinner. If she heard correctly he’s pouring them wine. She shifted her face hurt something fierce and so did her ribs. He set the table while she lies there. She watched him set two candles on the table and light them. Did he think this was a date? Then he started a fire in the fireplace. There he thought nice candlit dinner by a roaring fireplace. “Dinner is served,” he said. She blinked at him in disbelief is he kidding, is he nuts. Tomax walked over to where she was laying. Gently he helped her up not wanting to add to the bruises. He led her over to the table, which was decked out like a romantic dinner. He guided her into a chair.
She swallowed ok was this my last meal. He sat down across from her and started eating. He looked at her wondering why she wasn’t doing the same. Then he realized oops she still tied. He got up walked over to her “if you promise to behave, I’ll untie you” She nodded he looked at her sideways “say it” he said “what?” she responded, “That you will behave,” he said. She sighed, “all right I’ll behave I promise” Raven said He smiled at her then cut the tape from her wrists. She rubbed her wrists and slowly picked up her fork and began eating. She eyed her meal companion curiously. What was going on with him?
The silence was starting to get to Tomax; he finally decided to break it. “I know you hate me, I don’t know of any way to convince you otherwise,” he said. She paused midbite not knowing how to answer that. What could he possibly do to make up for everything he’s done? “Look I know I hurt you, and I’ve been nothing but a prick to you” he said She snorted “you’ve got that right” she responded “I know you have no reason to trust me, but I think that we could work very well together” he said “yeah right” she answered with a snort He smiled now she sounded more like her old self. “My brother will most likely figure out where we are and come up here soon” he said “so!” she answered “If you haven’t joined us by then he’ll kill you” he said “and this bothers you, why?” she sneered, “yes it bothers me, I like you” he said, surprised at himself for saying it. She laughed, “Yeah we know why you like me,” she said angrily. He looked uncomfortable “I’m sorry about that, how many times do I have to apologize about that.” he asked He was talking so he didn’t hear the keys turn in the lock.
