“I’m not going anywhere with you, now move!” When I turned to walk away, he hit me in the back of my head with something and everything faded to black.
Six Hours Later
I woke up from what felt like a damn spell and I looked around, not recognizing any of my surroundings. I was lying in a bed, and when I looked down I noticed that I was completely naked. Where the hell were my clothes? And why was my vagina hurting like this? It felt like how it would feel after Dre and I had sex.
“You’re finally up, sleepy head,” James said, walking into the room in a pair of boxers with my car keys in his hands.
“Where are my clothes? What the fuck did you do, James?” I asked, pulling the covers up to cover myself up.
“They’re over there on the floor. You’re the one who put them over there. You don’t remember? Oh, and no need to be shy now, I’ve already seen everything that you have to offer. No wonder your little boyfriend beat my ass like that. If I had a girl with a pussy as wet and tight as yours, I would go out acting crazy as well,” he said with a sinister smirk on his face.
“You raped me?” I screamed, jumping out of the bed.
“No, Toya, we made love! I would never take advantage of you like that, sweetheart. This was all I wanted from you in the beginning, so you can actually leave now because your services are no longer needed. I don’t have to worry about your little boyfriend retaliating this time because while you were getting fired today, I was busy getting a promotion. There’s no point in you telling him what happened because I’m pretty sure he won’t find me. Now hurry up and get the fuck out before I decide to sample that pussy again,” he said.
I quickly got up and threw on my clothes. I snatched my keys from him and hauled ass out of there. When I made it outside, I didn’t have a clue as to where I was. So, I did what I had to do, and that was start walking. I walked for what felt like forever until I saw a CVS pharmacy. I went inside the store and went over to the cashier.
“Hey, do you mind if I use the store’s phone so that I can call a taxi?” I asked her.
“I’m sorry, ma’am, but this phone isn’t for customers. But here, you can use my phone, though.” She went in her pants pocket and pulled out her iPhone. She unlocked it and then passed the phone to me.
I didn’t know if she was doing this for me out of the kindness of her heart, or if she felt bad for my appearance, but either way I was appreciative. I used her phone and called a taxi. They told me that they would be there within ten minutes.
“Thank you, I appreciate it,” I said and handed her back her phone.
I couldn’t help but to feel the soreness that was coming from my vagina, which is why as soon as I made it back to my car, I was going to head to the hospital to see what was going on with me. I went outside and stood on the corner, waiting for the taxi to arrive. Surprisingly, I was handling this situation really well, even though I wanted to break down and cry. I could have easily called up Toya or Monae to come and get me, but honestly I was embarrassed right now and I didn’t want anyone to see me in this condition.
After waiting for what felt like forever
, the taxi finally pulled up, and I told him the address to my office. For the entire ride, I stayed silent, but my brain was loud. I was thinking about where the hell I was going to tell Diandre I had been for the last six hours because I’m pretty sure that he had been calling my phone. I couldn’t tell Dre about what happened today, I just couldn’t. I would go to the police and just let them handle it, but other than that, I just didn’t want to risk Dre’s freedom.
We finally pulled into the parking garage of my job and I had him take me directly in front of my car. He waited while I went and got my purse from the back seat and quickly paid him. After that, I headed back to my car, got in and that is where I had my moment. The tears that I had been holding in were finally let out. I didn’t want to admit this, but I know that I was raped. I don’t know what James did because the last thing I remembered was turning my back and then I was knocked out with something in the garage. He claims that I took my clothes off myself, so I’m guessing that he must have given me something once he got back to his house. I don’t know what happened from there, and I was scared of what could have happened.
Later That Night
“Okay, Ms. Diaz, we have the results back from your tests,” the blonde haired doctor said, stepping into my hospital room.
I had been there for the past two hours, and I had completely shut my phone off. Prior to that, I had numerous missed calls from Dre, but I wasn’t in the right mindset to deal with him right now. Plus, Dre had a way of forcing shit out of me, and I was too embarrassed to confess to him the events that had taken place earlier.
“Okay, what’s going on?” I asked the doctor nervously.
Honestly, I felt fine, but I still wanted to know if James had forced himself on me because honestly I didn’t remember shit after the garage incident.
“Okay, so there were some traces of GHB found in your system. GHB is basically a powder, but most will use it as a liquid and it will make you pass out. I’m pretty sure you’ve heard of the date-rape drug before, and that’s exactly what it is because it can be secretly put into your drink and it will prevent you from defending yourself. After examining you, it is quite evident that you were taken advantage of, which is why you’re complaining of soreness down below.” As she spoke, tears fell from my eyes because my biggest fear had come true.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Diaz, that this happened to you. Whoever put this in your system didn’t use a large dose which is why you were able to get out of there, call yourself a taxi and then drive yourself here. I understand right now that you may be a little confused, and that is quite normal because that is one of the side effects. We should have all of this out of your system within the next few hours,” the doctor said, giving me a look of sympathy.
“Few hours? Do I have to stay overnight?” I asked her.
“Yes, you do, so that we can keep a close eye on you. We’ll keep you hydrated with plenty of water and I’ll have you discharged in the morning.” She patted my thigh and then walked out of the room.
I knew there was absolutely no way that I would be able to go through this alone, so I had to call Diandre and let him know what was going on.
Chapter 20: Dre
It was going on eight o’clock at night, and I had yet to get in contact with Toya. I had been in meetings damn near all day, and it wasn’t until I saw that she hadn’t called a nigga all day, that I started to believe that something might be wrong. I never had to call Toya this many times to get her to answer the phone because she knew how I felt about her not answering the phone the first time.
I knew she was set to start back work today, but her ass wasn’t so busy to the point where she couldn’t at least shoot a nigga a text to let me know that she was at least still breathing. I was on my way to her office to see what was up with her, when my phone started ringing and it was her ass.
