The Beginning
What do you do when all your fantasies, late night dreams become a reality only in books you read about?
Were do we start? well...
On a winter evening I decided I had enough, I was beaten down to a point where my only option was to flee or die. My life had become nothing more than a spec mentally I was damaged, My ex had destroyed any light I had left or so I had thought. Beaten, broken I made a choice to wait until John had left for work that evening to pack a bag and leave for the train station. To avoid being found I chose to travel via train instead of my car, When I arrived at the station I rushed to the box office to buy a ticket anywhere which was to arrive at the station the earliest. Finally pacing back and forth the train arrived and without hesitation I rushed onto the first carriage I seen and hid in the darkest corner seat I could see to avoid any prying eyes seeing me, I didn't want a chance for someone to spot me and tell John they'd seen me here or to where I was heading.
A few hours later I arrived at the last stop, I'd never thought to check or ask where to I was going my mind was just in a constant fight or flight state, taking a step off the carriage I looked around until I came across a sign which stated 'GRAND CENTRAL STATION' which could only mean I had travelled all the way to New York. I couldn't believe that out of all the places I managed to come to a place I'd only dreamed of visiting. Leaving the station and I started to head north looking around to find a place to keep warm and collect my thoughts to make a plan. I stumbled onto a little diner I went in and sat down away from the windows into a corner, I was greeted by a older women who filled up my cup with some hot coffee and gave me a menu, looking over the menu the only thing I could afford was a sandwich so that's what I went with. Hearing the little door bell chime I looked up to see a woman I'd say was in her early twenties went up to the counter and started chatting away to the women who served me earlier. Watching them I noticed they were talking amongst themselves but kept looking over at me, Startled the young women sprang to sit down and introduced herself "Hi!, my name is Anika. Hope you don't mind me sitting here, you're not from around here are ya!". With a wide smile spread across her face, looking back at her I could tell she was harmless so I wiped my hands on my napkin and introduced myself "No bother at all, nice to meet you I'm Jamie-Lee. No I'm not from around here I just arrived actually".
That's how our friendship blossomed, from there she insisted I came and stayed with her until I got on my feet. After a while I opened up to her about my past and John and she became my shoulder, helping me anyway she could including a job at her work. I began working as a waitress serving tables nothing too complicated while she tended the bar, it was my first job since John made me stop working taking me away from society. Finally I had become an independent woman again, gaining confidence and feeling like I was worth something again.
A couple of months had passed winter had turned to summer and Anika thinks it's time I get back out there and enjoy what the world has to offer and enjoy an evening out with her, she asked numerous times before and I've always declined to scared to face men while they have had alcohol BUT tonight was the night I was reclaiming my life which meant dealing with fears. Anika was excited I'd finally accepted and she grabbed some alcopops in while we got ready for an amazing evening "You better get in that shower girl! nobody wants a chewbacca!", we both laughed as we looked at each other "Anika what makes you think I want a man to touch me ". Looking in the mirror I couldn't believe what was looking back at me, there I stook 5ft 4 well... 5ft 8 in these death trap heels wearing a silky black tight fitted dress which hugged my curves in all the right places dipped in at the cleavage giving a little peak at the goods, the dress came up to mid thigh a little more on show than what I wanted but I couldn't wrap my brain around how good I looked after all the times John had broken me down name calling and abusing me. Looking back to the mirror my shimmery dark brown hair reached down my back to the dip of my back, Anika looked at me smiling and offered to do my make up which brought out my dark sweet doe eyes, "Damn! Lee if I liked girls I'd fuck you! haha them eyes are going to make a man go wild", Before we left one look and I have to admit I really did look and feel hot.
Arriving at the bar we got in straight away as of course Anika knew the bouncer, we made our way to the bar and ordered a couple rounds of drinks. Time really does fly when you're having fun, me and Anika downing drink after drink dancing away. Then I felt like someone was watching me, looking around my eyes and making contact with what I could only describe as a god. Looking back at me was this man who was clearly well built around 6ft 5 and my god if he flexed that shirt was going to tear in all the right places, black hair short with a side parting kept back which you could tell he kept himself well shaven and tidy but his eyes were like looking into the devil himself his gorgeous eyes were ice blue and looked like they pierce your soul. With my new found confidence I gave him a cheeky wink and smile and began dirty dancing with Anika wasn't even a few minutes until we were approached this tall and handsome man offered to buy me a drink and of course Anika being herself nudged me "go get him girl!" with that she winked and off she went dancing with a handsome stranger.
He offered me his arm and I took it and off we walked to the VIP area he insisted I sit down next to him, introducing himself "Damian and you are?" while holding my hand gently but firmly I felt the electric currents sap through me and stupidly stuttering "Jjjaamie-Lee but people call me Lee" I felt so stupid how this handsome man had effected me by just touching my hand. Damian was just staring at me which made me uncomfortable and my cheeks heated, finally he offered me a drink and we enjoyed each others company without talking until he said " Would you like to come back to my apartment?" which caused me to choke on my drink as it was unexpected, this god looking man wants me to come back to his.. lost in thought he cleared his throat "Erm... yeah ok. But I need to tell my friend first as she will worry". Damian was quick to say I didn't need to as she had been occupied with one of his men and had already left. With that he he winked and smirked, with his look I knew she had found her entertainment for the night so I decided to leave with Damian, he lead me to an SUV which was parked outside and so we headed out into the darkness surrounded by street lights heading back to Damian's.
