~Miguel POV~
"This place is awesome! We're so going back here. Right, Miguel?" Cate looked at me pleading.
She scheduled our night out a week before. She heard that a new club opened and wants to try it out. And knowing me, she had it planed ahead of time.
"I'll get drunk and wasted tonight. And you'll take care of me, right?" she said with a puppy eyes.
I could never say no to that face. So I went ahead and stroke her hair lovingly. "Anything for you sweetie," I said with a soft voice. Goodness! I love this girl so much.
"And look who we have here."
I felt my body stiffen when I recognized the voice of an unwanted presence. Cate probably felt my reaction because she gave me a worried look before paying our intruder attention.
I can see how surprised Cate was by her reaction. She almost drop her jaw to the floor and her eyes were as big as a saucer. Is he that handsome for her to react that way? Damn him!
I took my time looking around before I faced the guy I ran away from earlier this day. Our eyes locked at each other as I stare at him. His dark eyes are swallowing my blue ones with the intensity of his gaze. I'm amazed how I can look in those fierce eyes and not drop down on my knees.
"Mr. Graveman," I greeted him with the coldest voice I could master.
We kept staring at each other without a care in the world. It's like I am being hypnotize by his eyes. But was pulled back to the world by Mr. Simpson voice.
"It seems that these two gentleman forgot their manners," he said stepping in between Xander and me. I didn't even noticed that he's here until he spoke.
He offered his hand to Cate, which she reluctantly take.
"I'm Michael Simpson, but you may call me Mike. I'm Stone's boss. And this scary guy here," he stepped back and tap Xander on his shoulder. "Is none other than Alexander Graveman, but he goes with the name Xander. And he is Stone's new other boss."
A wide grin appeared on Cate's lips. She may be speaking with Mr. Simpson but her eyes keeps stealing glances at Xander. And she have this smile on her lips that she's trying to suppress.
"I'm Cate. Catherine Sto~"
She wasn't able to finish introducing herself since I cut her off. "I would like to say it is nice seeing you here but I don't feel like that. Please excuse us." I took Cate's hand from Mr. Simpson and usher her away.
I was able to take two steps before a hand on my arm stopped us from leaving. "Where do you think you're going?" The words were spoken low but firm. You can sense the anger radiating from him.
I let go of Cate and pushed the hand holding me away. "I'm going where I want to go, Mr. Graveman." I hissed narrowing my eyes on him.
Why won't he just let me go? I made it clear that I don't like him, didn't I? So why is he still here? I observe him and found his eyes staring, or glaring, at Cate. Wait. Don't tell me she's his new target? No way! I won't f*****g allow it.
I blocked his view from Care and forced him to look at me. "Don't you f**king try," I said as he look at me in the eyes.
Confusion clouded his eyes before realization drawn in it. A satisfied and determined smirk came from his lips as he slowly placed his hand on my arm.
"I don't know. She's pretty and sexy. And by the way she looks at me. I can say I can make use of my cold bed with her."
"Don't you dare!" I grabbed the collar of his polo in a tight grip. I felt so angry I could punch his face. Boss or not, no one can touch her.
"Miguel!"
"Xander!"
In just a second, Cate and Mr. Simpson is on our sides trying to stop the fight that is about to come.
His warm hands touch mine. He just let them stay having a hold on his collar and didn't attempt to remove it. I felt hesitant and wanted to let go of his when I felt his thumb caress the back of my hand.
"And what will you do if I dare to?"
I unconsciously dragged my face near his as I tried to threaten him. "I don't care if you're my boss. No one will f**king touch my baby sister."
I expected him to be scared, or even mad. But I didn't expect him to beam with delight. His eyes lighten up and a huge grin appears on his face.
"Sister? Oh my unicorn! You should've told me earlier. I will never touch her. You know I only have eyes for you."
Then he did something that really caught me off guard. I heard the gasp of people around us as I felt his lips touch mine.
