“The gentlemen’s code-always protect her.”
Dominic POV??
I felt someone bump into my body and I manage to catch her before her body hit the cold concrete.
I was so shocked when I saw her face. It was her, the one that filled my mind with so many questions.
We stared at each other under the dim light. My hand was behind her back while hers clutched my shirt tightly.
“Hey, what’s going on?” I couldn’t help but noticed the nervous look.
“Please, let me go.”
She chided while release her grip and ready to escape again but I manage to catch her waist before pulling her to the corner.
I leaned her back onto the wall and I stood in front of her tried with my hands caged on both side, covering her from the guy that kept screeching for her name.
We stood closely to each other in the corner. I could feel her breath fanning on my neck. I looked down at her face while my hands on her waist.
She tilted her head up and stared at me as she could feel my eyes on her. She buried her face on my chest when she heard footsteps coming closer.
“Are you running from that guy?” I asked when the guy ran to the other side and out of our sight.
She keeps silent and avoided my question. “Are you the guy that-”
“Yes, It’s me. From the hotel room,” I cut her sentence knowing what was in her mind.
“Thank you.” She removed my hand from her waist.
“Thank me later. Now, you need to follow me,” I said and I gripped her hand walking out from the bar before she could say anything.
I brought her to my car. I helped her to open the door and signaled her to enter.
“Where are we going?” She looked at me with curious eyes.
“Helping you to escape from the guy,” I answered her and pushed her body gently to the car seat and buckled the seat belt for her.
“What? No. No. I can’t go with you.
My friend still waits for me inside. I need to let her know plus I can’t leave with a stranger.”
She tried to unbuckle the seat belt and get out of the car but before she could escape I pushed her body causing her stumbled on the seat.
“I’m not a stranger. I know your name, Ara.” Her eyebrows arched, shocked that I called her name correctly. Cute.
That was the most suitable word to describe her face. I almost chuckle but I suppressed it.
“Now, listen to me and just follow me. I can ensure that you are safe with me.
I will not do anything that harms you. Trust me.” Doubt, that was all I can see from her face as she tried to push my body away from the car.
“No, I won’t follow you.” She snapped while her hand tried harder to push my body that blocked her way out from the car but I did not budge.
“Don’t move or I will kiss you,” I lowered my body and made my face leveled to her face. I stared at her face closely and our faces were just few inches away from each other.
“Say one more word and I will kss you,” I warned her when I noticed she tried to utter something. She shut her lips tight which earned a smile from me.
She pressed her lips tight to avoid any words escape from her lips and to be sealed with a kss.
“Good girl.” I ruffled her hair which caused her to groan annoyingly.
In the car
“Can I borrow your phone? I need to make a call to my friend and I forgot my phone in the bar,”
Ara break the silence at the moment she realized that her purse and phone weren’t with her. She must forget to take them when she saw that guy.
“As you wish,” I handed her my phone while my eyes still focusing on the road.
She pressed the screen and placed the phone to her ears the next second.
“Hey, Jess. It’s me Ara,” she said when the line connected. “I’m safe and I forgot my purse and phone in the bar.”
“Oh no, hmm,yes..this is my friend’s number. I will explain it to you tomorrow.” I silently listen to her conversation and I smile at the word ‘friend’ that she mentioned.
“So, I guess now we are friends,” I said to her when she ended the call and handed the phone to me. I looked at her with a smile curved on my lips.
“Thank you and no. We are not friend.” She answered emotionless.
“Not yet, but soon,” I corrected her and turn my sight back to the road. The phone rang before I took my phone from her.
“Can you please answer for me?” I asked her. She realized that I need to focus while driving, so she pressed the answer button with the loudspeaker on and moved the phone near to me.
“Hi, son. Where are you?” The familiar voice on the other line spoke. Without looking at the name, I know the person on the line.
“Hi, mom. I’m on my way back to my penthouse. I’m with my girlfriend now,”
I glanced at her to look at her reaction. She frowned and her jaw hardened. With her slightly parted lips, she glared at me with furious eyes.
“Oh my God. Did you say girlfriend just now?” Mom questioned with excitement. As I expected, she loves the topic. I chuckled at her reaction.
“Yes, mom. Girlfriend,” I purposely highlighted the last world.
“I will introduce her to you next time. Let me enjoy my time with her alone now, mom.”
“Oh, sure! No problem son. I will not disturb you two for now but please make sure to introduce her to me next time.”
I could imagine hen expression even though I can’t see her face now. We ended the phone with a goodnight.
“Why are you lying to your mom?” She pressed the red button immediately. I smirked, with no intention to answer her.
“Where do you want to bring me? Can you drop me somewhere? I can take a cab back to my house.”
“Nope, just tell me your home address and I will drive you home.” I definitely won’t allow her to take public transport alone. It was late at night plus she is so attractive.
Someone might do something bad to her. My inner voice convinced me.
“No, I can go back on my own.” She can’t hide her hesitation. Ok, now I know she won’t let me know where she stays. I know she doesn’t trust me. Smart girl, play safe!
“It’s ok if you don’t want to tell me your address. I will bring you back to my penthouse.
You will stay with me tonight until you tell me where you stay.
I will not let you take the cab and don’t forget that you don’t have any penny with you right now,” I said to her and snatched my phone from her hand.
I know she might end up calling her friend to take her home. Well, I need to play smarter than her.
“What are you trying to do? I don’t want to go to your place.” She raised her voice, pissed off.
“Do you have a choice? I won’t let you go tonight,” I said firmly. I had decided to keep her with me tonight.
I need to know about the guy in the bar. I know it will not be easy to get the answer from her but at least I can keep her safe with me tonight.
