Promised Love

Chapter 3

    ----Cooper----

This girl is really getting on my last nerves. I've never had anyone be so disobedient before. Something about her drives me crazy and I don't even really know her. Is the way I am going about things, the right away? Maybe, I could have come over prior to this and introduced myself and got to know her and let her get to know me. Things would have gone by so much smoother had I've done that. But if you know me, then you know I love the challenge. Challenges is how I got to where I am today. 

I go back into the room where she is to notice that she is sitting there with her knees pulled up to her chest, not moving or saying a word. I've really put her in such a disarray, how will I ever get her to trust me? "Stassi.." her head shoots up with such a sad look in her eyes, before a tear rolls down her cheek, "I'm sorry I did it this way, I should have been more gentle, I should have done it a different way, there were so many different ways I could have approached this and I did it wrong. For that, I am truly sorry." I smiled, in which she returned the smile to me. "I promise you though, you will have a good life. An adventure awaits you and I. If you give me the chance to show you, you won't be disappointed."

I sit next to her and to my surprise, she doesn't try to move away but turns towards me. "Will you always be that rough with me? I can't promise you, that I won't have my moments where I'm mad at you and will do anything to defy you. If my dad told you anything about me at all, then he would have told you that I am a very stubborn girl," she chuckles and I can't help to notice that it was nice to hear her chuckle, maybe this will work, "What is so special about me though? Why did you have to go through all this trouble just for me?"

I am shocked that she has this kind of view on herself, if only she could see herself the way that I see her. The way I am sure her family sees her every day. "You're extremely kind, in a world where its nothing but ruthless, mean people. You care about everyone you meet and you try to help them. You're extremely attractive. You're beautiful on the outside as well as in the inside. You're special and you will see it one day. And I can't wait to be there when you realize it," I smile as I clear my throat, "Your father, showed me pictures of you. Your eyes light up when you smile, your laugh is contagious." 

Before I get a chance to say another word, she starts bawling. Damn, I really messed up when I shot her father. Why did I have to do that? "Thank you.." she whispers and my eyes shoot up, in shock, "What?" 

With tears falling down her cheeks she did something I wasn't expecting, at least not this early on, she hugs me, "Thank you.. My father has been abusing me.. ever since I can remember.. My mom never knew about it because I was so scared to tell her... " My body tenses up and anger rushes over me. How did I not know this? I did extensive research on him, how did I not know he was abusing this girl.. Now I don't feel so bad about killing that son of a b***h. 

Trying to calm myself down, I hug her back, "To answer your earlier question, I can't promise you that I will always be gentle. I am a very powerful man and I have a temper. All I can promise is that I will try. I will try to be more gentle and not lose my temper when something doesn't go my way. I want what I want and I always get what I want.. But I promise to try."

We should be landing soon. I am a little excited, to show her, her new life and the penthouse.  Being the person I am, you wouldn't think I would be giddy about something like this, but I am. I wouldn't let any of my men see me this way. They wouldn't respect me and do as I wish, if they did.

"Babygirl.." She looks up at me and as she does, I notice a faint blush hit her cheeks. "We are about to land, you should put the seat belt on." She nods and does what she is told. It's nice that we have some sort of understanding. It's nice that she is doing what she is told. As long as this continues, there should be no problem.

"Cooper, will I be able to have friends? Meet new people? Have someone other than you to talk too? And don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed our conversation thus far, but a girl needs friends." I look at her for a minute, thinking about what she is asking of me. Would friends be plausible? Would having friends give her enough freedom to where she could leave me? After all, she did try to state that she would. "I don't think having friends right now would be a good idea.." Before I get a chance to say anything else, her soft lips are on mine. This is new, no woman has ever taken charge like this. I feel her sweet, delicate tongue against my lips, beckoning me to open them. As I do so, her tongue is in my mouth, like a firefighter rushing inside of a burning building. 

I cup her face with my right hand and my left hand is on her thigh, right above her knee. Her skin is soft, her kiss is intoxicating, I start to lose control but then she pulls away. "Please, daddy..Let me have some friends." She bites her lower lip and I have to control myself to not attack her with some tlc. "Okay, maybe friends will be a good thing, but no boys, only girls. That is my one condition. Oh before I forget to tell you, you will meet the rest of the guys that work for me, that will help protect you. Only them, if you choose, can be friends with you of the opposite s*x. And since when did you decide to call me Daddy?" I raise an eyebrow in anticipation of her answer.

"Well you called me babygirl, I figured I could call you the same type of nickname, just to see your reaction." she giggles and looks out the window of the plane as it hits the tarmac. "We've been so engrossed in this conversation, that I didn't get a chance to see the view of New York from the sky." she pouts. 

I chuckle, "You will get plenty of times to see the city from the sky view. We will take a lot of trips, trust me." I unbuckle our seat belts and extend my hand for hers. "I'm scared.." she exclaims, "This is all happening so fast..  What if I'm not happy? You said, you had guys that would protect me, protect me from what? Did you put my life in danger?" I can see her expression change from the happy one she had, to a serious, angry one. I can see that it is going to be a struggle getting her off the plane, this didn't last very long.
