Never Enough by Ashley Johnson Read Free Book Online Page B

violated me. He took everything away from me and she fucking believed him!" I suddenly realized I was screaming and I prayed Halley and Marcus were back in her room and couldn't hear. She knew already but Marcus didn't need to. He had no reason to know anything about my past. Him knowing would make him being here too uncomfortable to me.
    Uncle Gary's voice softened as he replied," I know Mace, and I'm sorry. I thank God every day you called me when you did and we got you out of there. If anything I wish you would have called sooner but the most important thing is you got away."
    Tears were flowing now. Great I needed to fix this before I saw Trevor. No one likes a tear stained face. "I know Uncle Gary. Thank you."
    " I’m sorry I wasn’t trying to upset you in any way Macy. Relax today kiddo don't show up at the bar." He chuckled and I couldn't help but smile.
    "Ok I will and it’s ok I shouldn’t have overreacted. Love you Uncle Gary."
    "Love you too kiddo."
    With that I hung up the phone and finished draining what tears were still at bay waiting to fall. After a minute or two, I fixed my face and smiled in the mirror. I am a bright, beautiful woman. Nothing or no one can bring me down anymore or ever again. I opened my bedroom door and when I didn't see Hales or Marcus, I dashed out the front door leaving that previous conversation behind.
    I plugged my IPod in during my brief ride. It wasn’t that long but it was long enough to hear a song or two from Breaking Benjamin. I sang along as I pulled into where I was meeting Trevor. I parked my Honda Civic to where if Uncle Gary went to The Lounge anytime soon he wouldn’t be able to see it. I glanced at my reflection in the mirror. My cheeks were still a little puffy from crying but hopefully Trevor wouldn’t notice. I opened my door and before I could walk two feet I noticed Trevor standing by the entrance with a sexy grin on his face. He wore a worn pair of jeans that fit him perfectly and a vintage Guns N Roses tee that clung in all the right places. His messy hair hung just almost covering his eyes like always. This boy was going to be the end of me if I didn’t keep my guard up. I took a deep breath as I slowly approached him. It was now or never.
    He reached out for my hand. Part of me hesitated but I placed my hand in his and he brought it immediately up to his lips and placed a kiss there. I felt my face flush several shades of red and tried to turn my head away. He chuckled, "Sorry, I didn’t mean to embarrass you."
    "You didn’t, it was just really sweet." It was. Nothing like that has ever happened before to me. No guy had ever even attempted it, but then I never gave them the chance.
    "Good." He looked relieved as he let out a long breath. "You hungry?"
    "Ohmigod I’m starving." I gave him a big smile then reached up to peck his cheek. I could probably get used to this, if I could ever put the past behind. That was going to take quite a bit of work.
    "Good me too." He smiled and brushed his hair from his bluish gray eyes with his other hand. He gave my hand a reassuring squeeze and we began walking.
    We walked into the little sandwich place and stood in line until it was our turn. A few people stared I’m assuming trying to figure out if that were really Trevor James. He chatted with a few of them politely then would turn back to me and grin. When we reached the counter I ordered a turkey poboy on white bread with just about everything that could fit in it. Trevor ordered a grilled shrimp poboy that looked amazing. Halley had told me before they had these stuffed pistolettes that were to die for but I didn’t feel like trying one. We ate and made small talk about nothing in particular really. I made him look at something on the wall and stole a shrimp. He caught me and I began laughing I can’t believe he fell for that one. It was the oldest trick in the book. I am usually scared of talking and eating at the same time for fear of spitting food at
