Hide By A.J. Brown A political argument gets out of control **Note to my readers: I write Custom Stories for those who enjoy my work that would like a personal story written for them. Please email me at ajbrown2005@yahoo.com if you would like more information on my Custom Stories** "Paul, its really pathetic that ur still supporting republicans at this point after everything. Are u really that brainwashed? Or are u just stupid?" He read Grace's message to him in the Facebook comment section and couldn't believe she was talking to him like that. She was a heavier woman, 36-years-old and still single, but Paul was actually nicer to her than a lot of people were. For the most part they had always gotten along and she had never been this rude to him. He tried to stay cool though, not stooping down to her level. It took some effort for him not to get too heated when he saw multiple people 'liking' her comment already. How could others support how rudely she was talking to him? "The democrats have some good ideas but overall I just think I align better with republicans right now," he typed back, trying to keep the conversation as reasonable as he could. "The $15 an hour minimum wage thing is something I just can't side with democrats on. It's going to cost more people jobs than it helps people and it can really hurt small business owners that can't afford it. Not to mention, what about people that are currently making $15 - $20 an hour? Seems unfair to them as they wouldn't receive any kind of raise while all of those people below them would be brought right up to their level." He immediately got two laugh emoji reactions to his comment, one from Grace, and one from one of the women that had 'liked' Grace's previous comment. He could see that Grace was typing as a few more people liked her previous comment and he still just had the two laugh emojis on his. "LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!" Grace wrote. "r u able to actually think for urself and not just recite everything u hear on Faux News? theres no proof that raising the minimum wage is going to cost ANYONE their jobs so stop with that bullshit already. And if a small business owner can't afford to pay a LIVING wage then their not smart enough to have a business and should be out doing something else. And stop with the bullshit about the people who are currently making 15 an hour. Ur saying other people dont deserve a LIVING wage because of that? When the minimum wage increases that will help the economy and hence those people will be able to get wage increases as well!!!!!!!!" He wondered why he was bothering with this as he thought there were plenty of flaws in what she was saying but he knew no matter what he said she had her mind made up and was not only going to disagree with him but try and belittle him for thinking what he did, despite him trying to keep the conversation respectful. Still, he watched all of her friends liking her rude comment, it got over five likes immediately and he didn't want to back down. He then got a like for his last comment from a name he didn't know - Ellen Accetta - and that motivated him to continue to defend his point. "I think it's basic common sense that doubling the minimum wage is going to cost people their jobs as a lot of businesses wouldn't be able to afford it and there are plenty of other businesses that just won't pay that much when they can automate. I don't watch Fox News but I've seen other articles supporting that. And I find it a bit hypocritical that you seem so interested in helping the people making minimum wage but show no concern for small business owners and even go as far as calling them stupid if they couldn't afford that kind of payroll increase. I think thinking that business owners will pay their other employees more based on people spending more due to the minimum wage increase is equally na�ve as those who think giving business owners tax breaks will cause them to pay more to their employees." His response was long and he saw Grace respond to it with another laugh emoji, faster than there was any way she could have actually read it. He could see that she was typing a response and he could picture her sitting there on her phone with a dumb smile on her face, just so eager to roast him. While she was doing that he got two more laugh emojis and her comments had gotten multiple likes and a couple of loves. But he did get another like from Ellen Accetta. As he waited for Grace to finish her mean response, he clicked on Ellen's profile. She looked absolutely beautiful, with pretty eyes and a nice, confident smile. She was 39 years old, four years older than Paul. He briefly thought about friend requesting her but then quickly thought better of that. "LOLOLOL!!!!!!" Grace wrote. "where do u get this republitard bullshit?????? let me guess, ur one of the ones that thinks it was a fraudulent election too???????" "I don't know about that," he wrote. "But I did find it a bit odd that 95% of the votes that came in through the mail after the fact were democrat votes." Grace hit his comment with a laugh emoji immediately and he got hit with a couple of more while Grace typed her response. He got himself another 'like' from Ellen who was silently supporting him. He started to scroll through her pictures and she looked stunning in every one of them. He wished he knew more women like this and less like Grace and maybe he wouldn't be single. "OK, i cant even deal with this," Grace wrote. "you brainwashed republitards will believe anything Faux News tells u. im not wasting anymore time with this bullshit." He tried to think of one last thing he could say to try and make her look dumb as he watched her get multiple more likes from her friends, but then he saw he got a message request. He was pleased to see if was from Ellen Accetta and he accepted. "Hey!" her message said. "I like what you said about your concerns about the legitimacy about the election. You are definitely not alone in your thoughts. I have some extremely compelling evidence that shows that this election was actually a fraud and it was completely rigged. I was wondering if you'd like to meet up for coffee sometime so I can show you some things that are mind blowing." While Paul wasn't a fan of what the democrat party had become over the years, he wasn't a fan of a lot of the conspiracy theories that he heard from republicans either. He considered himself a true independent, one that was open-minded to both points of view and that he made his decisions without a bias. He still accepted her offer. **** He recognized Ellen immediately as he sat at the table in the coffee house and saw her walking towards him, even though the scarf that she had on was covering her nose and her mouth. He recognized her beautiful eyes immediately and he enjoyed seeing them in person. She removed the face covering once she had a seat and greeted him with a warm smile. "Paul?" she said and he nodded. "Ellen Accetta. It's a pleasure to meet you." She offered to shake his hand and he accepted despite the fact that he wasn't big on shaking anyone's hands during the current time. She spoke softly and her words were extremely clear, making him feel good just listening to her talk. Her hair was on the shorter side but it was well taken care of and looked feminine. She wore a warm, expensive looking coat which he understood considering that it was only in the high twenties outside and she carried a handbag as well as a computer bag. She wore jeans but despite how cold it was outside, she wore white flip flops and he could see most of her bare feet underneath them. Her feet were on the bigger size, probably a size 9, but the combination of her long toes and the smooth skin on her feet made them look sexy. Her toenail polish was a dark blue. Feeling how cold his hands felt even when he was outside wearing gloves, he thought about how cold her feet must have been outside and that made him more interested in them so he couldn't look away from them. "I'll take an espresso, please," he heard Ellen say to the waiter which broke him out of the trance of looking at her feet. He looked up and luckily she didn't seem to notice where he had been looking. He ordered as well. Ellen got right down to business, pulling out the laptop, connecting to the Wi-Fi and showing him the first video she wanted to show him. He watched with an open mind and although the narrator seemed to make some legitimate points about ballots being thrown out and democrats bullying people to not count the republican voter ballots, there was no proof and he didn't find the video to have any information that he hadn't already heard. Ellen was frequently pausing the video to add her own commentary as to why she thought the election was rigged and that was what he found the most enjoyable. Not because anything she said changed his mind about anything but because she spoke so softly and calmly, yet seemed so interested in what she was saying that it gave him ASMR to listen to her. He could have sat there all night listening to her talk about what she thought was a fraudulent election, just because it gave him tingles throughout his body as she spoke about it. He also snuck a few looks down at her feet when he got the opportunity as that was making this experience with her even more enjoyable. At one point she had lifted up her heel creating quite the distance between that part of her foot and he flip flop. He wished he could get his head lower so he could get a look at the bottom of her foot. "So that's what I got," she said when they were both finishing up their coffee and she closed her laptop up. "Hopefully that gives you something to think about." Her not pressuring him to agree with her on the spot just gave him more tingles. "Would you like me to walk you to your car?" he said to her. "How sweet of you to offer," she said. "I'd be delighted if you did that." They stood up at the same time and he realized that she looked to be about 5'8, only two inches shorter than he was. He wondered if he should try and kiss her when they got to her car. It was the first time he met her and this wasn't even a date but he felt like they connected well and he wasn't getting any younger. But then he watched her cover her face with the scarf and when he put his face mask on he realized that would make it more awkward and he remembered why he hadn't been on an actual date in over a year. Once they got outside under the light that was at the entrance, the only light there was under the cloudy night sky, Ellen immediately pulled the scarf down from her face. He didn't need to be wearing his either so he pulled it off and threw it in a trashcan that was nearby. He was going to go for this kiss, there was nothing that he had to lose. "Well look at these two," he heard a voice say. "Why am I not surprised that the two of you are hanging out?" He looked to see Grace walking towards them from the parking lot as he and Ellen had walked away from the light. Grace was with a female friend, one who was thin and tall, the same age as Grace, a couple of inches taller than Paul was, and the two of them looked to be just arriving at the coffee house. Grace stood at 5'6 but she was a thick girl and the winter coat that she had on made her look even thicker. "So why don't you say that shit to my face that you were saying to me behind the safety of your keyboard," Grace yelled at Paul. He could see the look of intensity on her entire face as she wasn't wearing a mask either. "Let's see you call me a hypocrite and call me na�ve now!" She moved towards him and she looked like she legitimately wanted to fight him. She might have been a girl but she was thick and heated and Paul couldn't help but be a little intimidated. "Well you did say I was brainwashed and call me a republitard," he said. "That's cuz you ARE a republitard," she yelled back at him, so fired up over all of this. "You got a problem with me saying that? Why don't we step over to the side of the building and we can settle this?" He looked over to the side of the building which had no light whatsoever and with such few people at the coffee house that night during a pandemic they could definitely go fight there without anyone noticing. Grace shoved him in the chest hard enough where it almost knocked him off of his feet. He looked at Grace who looked so ready to fight. He looked at Ellen like he was asking her what he should do. "No need to hold back on her," Ellen said to him. "I'm a witness that she physically instigated this so you don't have to take that." Grace was already on her way to the side of the building to fight. He thought about just walking to his car but he didn't want to look like a pussy after Ellen had already encouraged him to fight, plus he couldn't just walk away and leave her with this psycho if she didn't quickly get to her car either. He felt afraid as he walked to the side of the building, hearing Ellen walking behind him and not even looking back so she couldn't see the look of fear on his face. When he got to the side of the building it felt like he had just stepped into the ring and now there was no turning back. It was considerably darker than the front of the building and seemed secluded from everything else, unlike the front of the building where he could see the road, the cars, and the street lights. "Come on you asshole!" Grace said. "You wanna call me na�ve??" She shoved him hard enough to get a reaction out of him. He moved to shove her but her thick hands grabbed his wrists in the air and he felt how strong she was. She pushed him backwards and his skinny body could do nothing to stop her. She pushed him right against the outside wall of the building, his back hitting it first, then his head jerking back and the back of his head hitting it hard. Grace grabbed the front of his coat with both hands, yanked him towards her downward, and put him in a headlock, pulling his head into her hip. He tried pulling her arms away but her strength and positioning was too much to overcome and he remained trap. He felt her fist punch his face twice and his eyes watered up. "Who's na�ve now??" she said. "Looks like you were na�ve not realizing that a girl could kick your ass." She punched him in the face again and he was about to start crying and begging already when she let go of him. He stood up, his whole equilibrium off, and he stumbled around a bit like he was drunk, barely staying on his feet. Now smiling about the punishment she was administering, Grace moved closer to him and he felt the bottom of her sneaker drive into his hip when she kicked him. The awkwardness of the kick showed that the heavier girl was fairly uncoordinated but she had a big leg and with the weather being so cold, the kick definitely hurt. He lifted his leg to kick her and his gangly body, only weighing 150 pounds at his 5'10 height, threw a kick that was even more awkward than hers had been. She saw it coming and smiled excitedly as she watched his leg coming towards her. She caught his leg in the air. He tried to pull away but her thick arms wouldn't let his leg go. He pulled his leg hard and he still couldn't free it, now feeling humiliated that he couldn't get his leg free from a girl's arms. Grace then pulled his leg backwards which swept him right off of his feet. His tailbone hit the concrete right before both of his elbows did and the fall really hurt. He tried to get up but between the beating he had taken so far and the cold, he felt too weak to get up. Grace had plenty of energy as she started to squat down. She pushed her crotch into his chest and pushed him down, pinning him down on his back. He struggled underneath her but her skinny upper body was no match for her big ass and thick legs holding him down and he was trapped. She was pushing her crotch into his chest and her weight was causing him to have some trouble breathing. As she wound back her right fist to punch him and he saw the huge, confident smile on her face he actually thought she looked pretty for the first time. He saw her fist coming and he put his hands up to block it. But his hands may as well have not even been there as she just punched right threw them and slugged him right in the face. She pulled her left fist back directly and pushed it forward straight, giving him no chance of defending it as she punched him in the eye. He couldn't remember the last time he felt the kind of pain that her thick, closed fist connecting with his face made him feel. Two punches were enough to make him unable to get his guard up and her next punch hit him squarely in the cheek without any kind of deflection. Desperate to stop this thrashing, he put his hands over his face to cover it. She was easily able to pull his hands away and punch him in the nose. Now he was crying and all he could do was hope that she would stop as he felt blood coming out of his nose. But he saw that terrifying fist of hers come at him again and strike him, showing no sympathy for his tears. She struck him again and he cried more. He asked her to 'please stop' as he cried which was answered by another fist to the same eye. He cried for her to stop again and he could hear how pathetic he sounded. She punched his face again and now knew for sure that she had no intention of stopping any time soon. This beating was worse than anything he had ever imagined and he decided he had learned his lesson. He was not going to challenge the minimum wage increase anymore or any democratic ideas. He would believe whatever Grace wanted him to as long as he didn't have to suffer any more of these beatings. He wished he could tell her that so maybe she'd stop but she was punching him too rapidly and he was too out of breath to the get words out. But once she was done, he would tell her, and make sure he never had to go through this again. For the time being, he just cried as she punched him more. "Grace stop!" he heard Ellen's voice say. "That's enough!" He didn't think there was a snowball's chance in the sun that Grace was going to stop based on Ellen saying that but he looked up to see a look of terror on Grace's face, her eyes wide open, as she looked up at Ellen. Paul turned his head and the first thing he saw was Ellen's feet which actually made him feel a bit better. But when he looked up and saw Ellen pointing a pistol right at Grace's head, he felt his entire body freeze. He had never seen a real gun before except maybe on the belt of a cop. They scared him and gun control was one thing that he did agree with democrats on. As much as he didn't want to get beaten up anymore, he would rather have taken a longer beating than watch Grace get her head blown off. The fact that Grace was sitting on him had him fearing plenty that if Ellen did pull the trigger than he could end up accidentally getting shot as well. In the coffee house when Ellen had been explaining her thoughts on the videos to him she had had a sweet but intense look in her eyes like she believed passionately in what she was showing him. He had found that comforting at the time but now she had that exact same look in her eyes only now it looked like she had that same passion about putting a bullet into Grace if she felt she had to which he found terrifying. She also looked like her belief was to do what she felt like she had to do and that making sure Paul stayed safe in the process was secondary. "Put it away," Grace said and even though she was trying to still sound tough, Paul could tell how afraid she was. "You want to spend the rest of your life in jail for murder?" "Well I could just shoot you in the leg just to get you off of him," Ellen said her tone just as cool and calm as it had been back in the coffee house. Paul's body completely tensed up seeing how close Grace's leg were to his chest. "But even if I missed and hit you somewhere else - I have a witness underneath you that can verify I did it to protect him and the bruises you've put all over him are even more evidence. A quick screenshot of all of your aggressive comments to him on Facebook would also show the kind of person you are when he was just trying to speak cordially to you. Now I'll give you till the count of three to get off of him." At first glance it looked like Grace was still going to try and stand her ground and Paul felt paralyzed as his entire body clenched up preparing for a gun to be shot in his direction. But before Ellen even began to count, Grace jumped to her feet, looking terrified. She started to run away and her friend followed. "I'm unfriending you on Facebook, Ellen!" Grace yelled and even though Paul was still just looking straight up at the cloudy sky, he could tell that Grace had ran quite the distance away from her before she yelled that. "Actually, I'm not just going to unfriend you I'm blocking you! Blocked - forever!" He heard a few steps softly walking towards him and then saw Ellen kneel above him. "You OK?" she said. He tried to get up but he couldn't move. His body still felt paralyzed, so tense, so cold, and he could feel the bruises growing on his face. He wanted to beg her for help but he couldn't even open his mouth. He felt trapped inside himself, all of his fear bottled up since he couldn't speak. "You're in shock," she said to him. "You just got the shit beat out of you and had a gun pointed in your direction. Come with me." He still felt like he couldn't move, feeling like he maybe needed to be picked up or needed medical attention, but he knew she wouldn't be able to lift him. There was something about her pulling a gun out like that that made him wonder how much he could trust her and he wondered if she wouldn't just leave him there if he wasn't able to get up on his own. But then she grabbed his hand with her hand. Despite the cold weather, neither of them had put gloves on and feeling her soft hand touching his gave him a good feeling and as she gave his arm a little tug he started to get up. He still felt extremely stiff and tight but with her assistance he managed to get to his feet. He also felt like he was able to speak. "You gonna walk me to my car now?" he said, almost like he was making a joke, and he was surprised he was able to find a bit of a sense of humor. "No, you are in no condition to drive. You are going to come with me." If before the incident with Grace happened he had been told that he was going to be getting in her car and going with her he would have been excited, but with everything that had happened he froze up again as he thought about getting in the car with this stranger. He felt like he couldn't speak and he was only able to take little steps. "Yeah, you are definitely in no position to be driving," she said, noticing his anxiety increasing. "Don't worry, I will take good care of you." She had a compact car that looked red but he was too dazed to know what kind of car it was. She put him in the back seat which was soft and comfortable. She drove carefully and played some soft music as she drove which made him feel a bit better. He still felt like he shouldn't be doing this but also felt like he was drunk and didn't have it in him to object. She pulled in the parking lot to her apartment building, took him inside, and took him in an elevator that took them up to the third floor, Paul still walking very slowly during all of this. The inside of her apartment looked very soothing, nice leather furniture, some plants, and a large fish tank. She sat him down on one of her couches. "So we need to do something to get you relaxed," she said in her soft voice. "I saw you keep looking at my feet at the coffee house. Want me to rub them on your face?" He felt embarrassed she noticed that and at first thought she may be mocking him but she still had a look on her face like she genuinely wanted to help him. Having her rub her feet on his face actually sounded great but he wasn't sure if that was appropriate or if he'd embarrass himself by accepting the offer so he just kind of stared at her. "OK you don't have to answer, I can tell that you want me to," she said as she gave him a comforting chuckle. "Go ahead and lie down on the ground on your back." When he first saw her feet at the coffee shop he never would have imagined he would be offered such a treat. It was helpful that he was still in a bit of shock which took a bit of the awkwardness away from the situation. Her nurturing but take-control attitude also made him feel more comfortable as he got down on the hardwood floor and lay on his back. He saw her looking down at him beneath her with a warm smile on her face as she took her flip flops off and put them to the side. He watched her raise her legs and soon her bare soles were completely in the way of him seeing any of her face. They were smooth but firm looking, looking like they'd feel so good to touch, but also like they could deliver a firm kick if they needed to. He watched them come closer to his face until he saw nothing but bare soles. The moment those bare soles covered his face, any stress he had about fighting, politics, or anything in his life was gone. They felt quite cold from being outside but other than causing him to shiver a bit initially, that did not bother him at all. He felt the smoothness of them and smelled how fresh they smelled as she rubbed those perfect feet in his face and he felt the balls of her feet, her arches, and her heels all pushing into different parts of his face. This was exactly where he wanted to be, everything he wanted out of life. The fact that he was experiencing these feet made him never want to worry about anything else again. Her feet pushed into his face as she rubbed them in but that just kept feeling better. Sometimes he thought that life was unfair and that he didn't get enough in return for how hard he worked and how nice of a person he was but as he felt the bottoms of her long toes starting to play the side of his face like it was a piano, he realized the day had finally come when he was getting everything that he always desired. He could feel his cock growing in his pants like it never had before without any contact. This was far from just a sexual experience for him, though, as the feeling of her soles on his face was also soothing, comforting, and putting in his mind in a place of paradise. But that sexual feeling was really starting to catch up to him as he felt like his dick was bigger than it ever had been. "Drop your pants," she said to him. "I'll give you a foot job." He had never heard of that before but it sounded like the best thing in the world right about then so without any question he pulled down his pants and his boxer shorts for the woman. He looked down at his rock hard cock that was twitching and then looked at the smile on her face before he looked at those two wonderful feet that were coming towards it. She took the arches of her feet, hugged his dick with them, and then started squeezing them around tighter. She started jerking him off with her feet and it felt better than any hand doing it, even better than any vagina doing it. Her feet touching him there just felt so amazing and they were able to squeeze it tight enough to get a good squeeze but it still lacked some of the tightness that a hand or a vagina might provide which left him feeling a bit teased. Up and down she moved her feet and he could feel the cum inside of his cock thickening it though he wasn't as close to cumming as he normally would have been if he was getting a hand job or having sex. Her feet were pleasuring him just enough so it kept the buildup inside of him but was prolonging his release. But as she kept doing it, he felt like he was close to cumming anyway which was excited him beyond belief. She started to pick it up a little bit as she tightened her feet around him more and then moved them up and down more rapidly. He could feel himself about to blow his load, the soles of her feet controlling him and being the ones that were going to get him to that point. It made him feel so submissive to her feet and like nothing in the world other than those feet mattered. He let out a yelp as a bunch of cum shot out of his cock and she responded by making his foot job even more rapid. She was squeezing more cum out of him than he had ever seen as he watched it get all over her hardwood floor, her not caring about it. His dick was getting weaker and more tender the more she did it but he felt those dominant, beautiful feet not let up until they got out every last drop. When he was all done and his dick was close to limp, she just kept doing it making sure there wasn't anything left. He watched his dick just flop down when her feet finally let go of it. He lay on this woman's floor with his pants down, his dick out, and his mess all over the place. He looked up at her looking so pleased about what she had done. He'd listen to all of her crazy conspiracy theories as much as she wanted if it meant she would do this for him again. "Paper towels are up on the counter for you to clean that up," she said to him with a smile. After he cleaned up the mess he had a seat next to her on the couch. He moved in to kiss her on the lips. She smiled but looked a bit uncomfortable as she turned her head so he just ended up giving her a peck on the cheek. What was she doing? Would she have preferred that he just say 'Oh, thanks for the foot job, can you give me a ride back to my car now that we're done?' He couldn't figure women out. "So you want to hang out sometime?" he said. "I had a great time tonight but I'm sure we could both also have a good time hanging out and doing something other than talking about politics." She looked at him. "What you are trying to do now is very sweet," she said. "But it's not necessary. I'm actually gay and I have a girlfriend." She didn't look surprised at his look of shock and she even looked a bit amused by it. "But ... " he said and as he pointed to the floor where she had taken care of him he couldn't think of what else to say. "I just did that for you," she said. "I personally didn't get any pleasure out of it, other than being happy how successfully it changed you from looking like a zombie to looking like some relaxed smooth dude." "Alright," he said. "Gotta admit, I'm still surprised though. Most gay people - I mean I know I shouldn't stereotype ... " He started to feel nervous again. He didn't want to get on her bad side after they had gotten along so well, especially since knowing she had that piece on her made him fear her. "They're democrats, I know," she said, taking away any nervousness he felt with the comfortable way that she said it. "Believe me, it is not easy living like this. I have to be very careful who I share my views with so I don't have every democrat, especially the gays and the women, treating me like I'm an evil traitor. I ... " The pounding Paul heard on Ellen's door that cut her off almost sent him right back into shock as it was so incredibly loud and he was not ready to hear a violent sounding noise after what he had been though that evening. Ellen looked unpleasantly startled too which didn't help matters. "Ellen, you in there??" he heard a female voice that sounded pretty but also loud and angry on the other end of the door. "Open up, I saw your car. I've called and texted you fifty times tonight. What's going on??" There was more loud pounding. Angry sounding noise was something that always made Paul feel afraid and that was especially the case on this night. "Oh Jesus," Ellen said in a whisper. "That's my girlfriend." "Is it a big deal?" he whispered back. "Just tell her we met up to talk about the videos you showed me. She knows you like girls." "Yeah, it's not that simple," Ellen said as Paul heard more pounding on the door and more angry sounding yelling of Ellen's name. "No one's going to be happy seeing their girlfriend alone in her apartment with another guy, not even a girl. And if you can't tell, she is scary when she's mad." "Alright well there's two of us here. We can explain to her why we met up and I'll stick around with you and make sure everything looks cool before I leave. Don't worry, I'll make sure you're OK." He put his hand on her shoulder and she pulled her shoulder away. "You can't protect me from her. You needed me to protect you from Grace. My girlfriend's ten times tougher than Grace is. She's like six feet tall and she's a bodybuilder. She's also only 25 so she's in her physical prime. She could pick Grace up with one hand and launch her across the room out that window over there. She's going to rip the two of us apart if she sees you in here, I am not joking. And she's like a mind reader when she's talking to people, she's going to know something just happened, no matter what we tell her." Ellen looked terrified which was quickly rubbing off on him considering how cool and calm she had acted back in the parking lot when he was fighting with Grace. "Ellen, open up the damn door!" the girlfriend was now shouting as she kept managing to pound on it even louder. "I hear something going on in there so I know you're in there. I'm not mad yet but I'm about to be!!' "You got your gun, right?" Paul said, not being able to hide his fear as he spoke. "I'm not pulling a gun on my girlfriend!" she said with a loud whisper. "Alright Ellen, you're worrying me now!" the girlfriend yelled. "Looks like I'm going to have to get in there on my own and make sure everything's all right. When I kick the door down, just know I had to do it!" She kicked the door hard enough where it felt like it shook the entire apartment. It sounded like just a few kicks from this woman could take that door right down. Paul cringed thinking about taking one of those kicks from her himself. She did it again. He looked over at the window. He had seen the third story windows from the outside and they had sure looked high but he thought, maybe ... "No way," Ellen whispered, knowing exactly what he was thinking. "It's way too high and the window is so small you wouldn't even be able to get good positioning going out for a smooth jump. You'd break your neck." The door got kicked again and it sounded like it was about to come down. Ellen pointed at a door that he wasn't sure if it led to a closet or a bedroom. She looked at him intensely and said: "Hide!" **Email ajbrown2005@yahoo.com if you would like more information on my Custom Stories**
