Kate Madness [[Dos y Tres -Double Stuffed for Katli-]]

I drove through the suburb towns and came across the big city. All around me were hotels, fast food restaurants, and hookers on the corner. I sighed and thought about Chica...what if she resorted to begging on that corner. I shuddered and continued my course. PPD was just one block over. 1

As I pulled into the parking lot, steering clear of the jerk that tried to maneuver his car in as well. "Fuck Off!" I yelled, giving him the finger. He smirked and parked in the farthest space, giving me the closest spot to the entrance. I was relieved. He had some manners left in his system, I suppose. 2

I got out of the car, the sun blaring on me now. I lived in Florida, warm all year. Thank god. I hated the winter nowadays. I thought about pulling my sunglasses off but objected immediately. I watched men pass me by, some with their girlfriends or wives. They stared profusely. Great...another day of all eyes. I stepped in and there was a loud rush of sound. I could hear laughter, screaming, cheers. Then I heard Jacob's voice. 3

"Kate! So glad you could make it! And Scotty! I thought your plane didn't come till later?" I turned around to see the man that had totally pulled in ahead of me. I kept my composure and looked back to Jake. "So, shall I meet ALL of your idiot friends?" I said, also referring to Scotty-boy here. He looked at me, closely inspecting me as well. Jacob saw me just about every day. Nothing special he saw in me, thank goodness. But then I realized, that Jacob had all guy friends. And worst of all, my old drug dealer was here. 4

"Kayla." He said, politely kissing my hand. I didn't say anything at all. I pulled my hand away and walked over to the booths set up for us. I sat down and Mr. Scotty had to sit next me. Daniel has situated himself next to Scotty, and Jacob has taken the initiative of sitting on the corner of my other side. He lets three guys I have never met sit closest to me. The one right next to me smells like expensive cologne and I cough a bit. Scotty takes notice and takes a pack of cigarettes out. 5

"Need one?" He noticed my smoker's cough? Odd, but I took one anyways. "Thank you?" I say, taking out my blue lighter. I light for both of us. Jacob cringes his nose and the man next to me takes out chew. Daniel already had his dose- you can tell he's high on something. He's never nice to me. Or rather, this nice. Normally he is glaring and throwing a fit about something I did. I take notes in my head about this. I have to find out his new miracle drug. 6

Scotty seems nice. I smile at him, but I need to be careful. He seems like the type of guy that gets on your good side and tries to fuck you later. Or worse comes to worse, rape me. I didn't need that. Daniel fucked up my life once. I didn't need another male screwing it up for me. But what did I have but an overly bitchy roommate that can't tell the difference between cheap brands and name brands? And a loft that was spot clean due to the maid I hired some time ago. I had nothing left to lose. My virginity was already stolen from the man sitting next to Scotty. 7

Ok, so maybe I was a bit concerned. But the guy next to me was a savior. I felt blessed by the Gods...right. As if one even existed. I add a note in my head that Scotty has naturally curly hair, but he loves to straighten it. His hair is like mine. Dry from all the heat and exposure. His skin is pale and his eyes sparkle from the overhead lights. I notice all the men are looking at me. Even other tables...men stare. 8

Now I haven't been in some good movies. In fact, I've only been a stand-in for crowds and chaotic sequences. I'd never gotten a lead or semi-decent part and I was happy. But these men kept looking at me like I was a porno star. "Jacob..." I asked quietly, some heard me. Their hearts were melting from my male-like voice. Eww. "Yes, Kate?" He was confused now. "Why is everyone looking at me?" I asked, wishing I had a jacket or hood. A pack of women walk in. Some, from experiences, I know are lesbian. They giggle and wave as they see me. I wave and Jacob winks at them. Scotty stares at their asses. I was right. Pervert alert!9

Well it couldn't of got any better. Scotty is the one to answer the question, "Um...is she naive or really that stupid?" I want to smack him. Jacob gives him the 'you shouldn't say things like that' look. Scotty doesn't care. I turn to him. "I guess I'm stupid then. Explain why the hell you're all looking at me?" My voice has an edge now. The cat is out. "You're fucking hot, that's why." More rage seeps in me. 10

All of PPD is looking at me now. Waiters, waitresses, cashiers. The whole nine yards. I have multiple men in the back fighting to see who gets to take my order. I have two girls behind us giggling and talking about my skin and hair. I have two guys next to me with boners. And I know Scotty is staring at my boobs. I want to get up and leave. Instead I ignored everything. "Could we get a fucking waitress please." That pisses the men off. I want a girl. Some men take notice and speculate. 11

A brunette walks over with her notepad. I smiled. "Thank you, Miss." I state, handing her a fifty. "Tell the boys in the back to split it and please take these boys' orders." She obliges, all of them stuttering the rest of the time. By the time they're done eating, I had finished four plates of chicken. I ate more than all of them. Jacob laughs and says I have eight stomachs. I nod and agree. It's got to be going somewhere. 12

The brunette comes back with the check and Jacob pays. I tip her with a hundred. The boys ask me where Jake and I get our money. We zip our lips. We all decide to head out to the friend's house. It turns out it's the house of the man I sat next to. He gives me a look of fire, like he's ready to aim...too bad he can't pop me. I wouldn't let him if I was still Virgin Mary. He's over-rated looking. I learn later that his name is Nick. 13

Before the party at Nick's, I overhear Scotty wants to go home and change. He's in a business suit, which he hates. The guys don't want him to go alone. None other than me of course is chosen to take him. I start to wonder if they are trying to get me to go out with Scotty. I don't think I would like that right about now. However, I am nice enough to follow him to a big ass hotel. I do not even see what it's called. I ignore all signs and ushers. I follow him up to his room. I keep my phone out. I stay near the hotel phone as well. He is rummaging in his bag, most likely looking for a slutty outfit to turn me on.14

He comes out of the bathroom ten minutes later. He is wearing blue jeans, a black shirt with a guitar on it, and black nikes. I just now notice he's got a guitar case on the bed. Great, I knew where Jake was going with this. Scotty smiles and looks sincere now. "I'm sorry about earlier. But it was the truth." He said, trying to help me up from the chair. I take his hand, reluctantly, and he is happy I did. However, on my way up, I stumble. I realize now that I was stupid to think my anemia wouldn't act up tonight. A major party killer. And I totally forgot to take my medicine. Not good. 15

Before I fall to the ground he's got me. He looks at me with a look of terror. "What's wrong? Do you need help up?" My eyes close. Everything's hazy. I can hear him and I say I'm okay. He is not believing me. He digs into my purse, to find identification. I have a card in the back of my girly wallet that states my health problems. He reads all of them. I stare at the white ceiling for a while. 16

"How far away do you live?" I shrug at him. "An hour." I can't just drive and get them. I am unstable now. And I don't want Jenna running into Mr. Pervert here, even if he's somewhat compassionate. "Iron pills...you have to take those?" I shake my head no. "I can take those Flintstone's chewables, but there's barely a pharmacy open today." I say, holding my head. I'm getting sleepy fast. Scotty evidently knows all about my condition. Perhaps, an old lover had my condition? He then takes a pocket knife out of his pocket. I shiver and my eyes go wide.17

"Relax. I have to give you something, or you're going to spend New Year's in St. Alley's Hospital." That got me. He slices his arm and I watch blood ooze out. "Drink." He commands and places it near my mouth. I don't want to. "I refuse" I say, pushing it away. He then takes his arm and shoves it in my mouth. Iron, copper, phosphate, everything blood contained...all in my mouth. I already felt better after swallowing, but to make sure I sucked more. He was saying good things to me, trying to get me to stop convulsing. My body was still completely scared. I wasn't. I was hungry, and I didn't know why. 18

Scotty tasted like nothing in this world...19

And I liked it.
