sleepy during bath time, and by the time I put her down in bed she is asleep. Thank goodness. I need a break. I need some time to calm down from Seamus and from Michael. Both cause me problems, both are going to be a problem.
    I walk over to the window looking out of the apartment and look at all the cars in the parking lot. I have a twenty-year-old Honda Civic. It’s on death’s door in looks but I swear the motor will just never die. It’s the one thing I have that is fully mine. I don’t owe anyone money for it. I was able to buy it with what little money my mom’s life insurance policy left Michael and I.
    Even then he was taking all he could from me. It was a twenty-thousand dollar life insurance policy, we were supposed to split it down the middle. But nope, he swindled me out of seven thousand dollars. He would have tried to take it all, but I was able buy the car before he could hit me up for more money.
    Seven thousand dollars is a lot of money, a lot. I would have been able to pay for my classes so much easier than I am now. I would have had a little padding to help me while I went to school. If I missed a day of work because I was sick? That would bad but I would be able to make up for it with the savings. Now I am so worried of getting sick it almost makes me sick.
    He has taken so much from me over the years, if it isn’t nailed down he has tried to take it. I don’t know where his money goes, I’m pretty sure it’s not drugs. It’s probably used to impress all the girls he dates. He’s a true player from what I can tell. I am also pretty sure he has some children out there but he won’t talk to me about them. I don’t think he has ever had a real job in his entire life.
    Looking out over the parking lot I see Seamus’ new SUV—it’s big and black with tinted windows. Almost like some drug dealer’s car. I would have almost been willing to bet he was compensating for a small penis if I hadn’t felt that fucking monster pushing up against me during the kiss.
    Now I’m not the person to ever go to when it comes to sexual knowledge or advice. I got pregnant with Mina from the one time in my whole life I trusted a guy. It was a onetime deal too, I got knocked up from the one time. He didn’t even stay around after the first sexual episode. From what I found out later he had a thing for taking girl’s virginities. Fucking asshole went to prison and he died there too. I want to be sorry for that because it is some poor idiot losing his life to violence, but I just don’t have that sympathy in me anymore.
    Seamus is a dangerous man; I can just see it. It’s in the way he walks, the way his eyes move as he looks at things. I have seen a couple of guys like him before, and they were always the scary ones just out of prison. Seamus is like them, hard and dangerous. But he hasn’t been to prison I am willing to bet.
    Dangerous and the man can kiss. It’s like they mixed Rambo with a Don Juan.
    I walk back into my bedroom and look at the empty double bed. Its blankets are neatly folded, and the pillows look plump. It’s empty though, just like my love life.
    I have to work tomorrow. Damn. I really wish today would have gone the way I wanted it to. I would be going to sleep happy and content with the world. Instead, I am going to bed horny and worried about the next couple of weeks.

Chapter Four
    Seamus
    I don’t believe those fuckwits will be a problem anymore. I highly doubt they were in a gang. If that would have been the case, they would have come at me much harder and a with a lot more lethality to it. I don’t think they will be coming back either, but I won’t bet my life on that. I set up a small alarm on my balcony doors and the apartment door. It will make a loud, shrill scream if anyone opens one of those doors and I will hopefully be able to get into a good defensive position from there.
    Stretching out in the bed, I roll around it for a few minutes and groan—this thing is a piece of
