Anna pov
The three of us left the hotel. We walked around the city. Lucas gave us a little tour. Chicago is beautiful. We were hungry and decided to go for lunch. He knows a restaurant that always comes when he is in town and fortunately he has an outdoor area so fluffy will be able to sit with us. We sat at a corner table and then I saw him. What is he doing here? No, this can't be happening to me? Now that something is going well in my life this is happening. Why is he here?
"Baby what are you going to eat?" Luke's voice wakes me up
"Baby?"
"Can we go somewhere else?"
"Why baby? You dont like it here?"
"Please can we leave?" I say and start to panic. I try to hide so that he doesn’t see me
"Baby. What's going on? What happened to you?”
"Please," I say in my panic. No, I will not cry. I have cried a lot for him.
"Honey please tell me what happened?" I look into the panic in Lucas's eyes. Lucas doesn't deserve this.
"Please. Can we leave and I will tell you everything as soon as we leave from here. Please"
"Ok love. We will do whatever you want. Come" I get up carefully after looking at him and make sure he doesn’t look my way. Back to me is the exit so I turn around quickly and almost run out. I go out first and take a deep breath.
"Baby what happened in there? Are you okay?" I turn and look Lucas with Fluffy. He looks at me worried. I don’t want another man next to me. Only him. He is for me and I am for him. I start talking, telling him to leave and I will tell him everything on the street, but at that moment I hear someone shouting his name.
"Lucas my boy" I see a man in his fifties approaching us.
"Mr. Thompson, how are you?" they hug after Lucas gives me Fluffy to speak freely. I look around in case he follows me outside
"And who is this wonderful lady?"
"My girlfriend Anna. Anna this is Mr. Peter Thompson a very good friend of my father."
"Nice to meet you," I say and give him the hand
"Nice to meet you too dear" we talked for a while and then they talked to both of them about something that Peter wants. I didnt pay much attention, I went a little further from the point so that Sam would not see me. At this moment that I thought I found a good spot to hide I hear his voice behind. Panic and fear overwhelmed me
"Hey, cupcake. What a wonderful surprise. I was looking for you everywhere and look where I found you." My hair stood on end and I heard Fluffy growl
"Calm down tiger. I'll not do anything, I just want to talk to this slut here," he says and looks at me.
"We have nothing to say. Please leave" I say and try to leave and go to Lucas. He grabs me by the elbow, Fluffy starts barking
"Listen carefully to what I will tell you slut. You made a big mistake to leave me. And I dont understand why. We had such a good time"
"Only you had a good time. Let me go." "No cupcake, you will come with me" and he starts pulling and Fluffy is barking. He takes the fluffy leash from my hands and puts it down. No, my God, memories from the past come to life in front of me. Fluffy runs after us and barks. I try to escape but it is possible. Tears are running from my eyes. If Lucas doesn’t stop him, I don’t want to know what will happen.
"What do you think you are doing? Leave her now." We stopped turning and I see Lucas so angry, I have never seen him like that.
"And you are her lawyer?"
"No, but if you don’t leave her now you will not like what happened to you" oh no
"Do it, you will not like where you will enter"
"Luke please he is not worth it"
"Oh yes Luke you do it, you don't know what connections I have. "
"Are you sure? I think I will be fine as the nephew of the Minister of Justice. What do you say?" Sam looks scared now
"Is this the man you lived with before I met you?" I nod
"Well, you don't look so manly now." "What do you say? Or better to call the Minister now to ask him who will have a bad time"
"Sam?" oh that voice, I look behind Luke and I see Sheriff Cooper, Sam's father.
"Sam we're leaving."
"But Anna ..."
"Leave her. We're leaving, I'll not lose my job for a slut. We're leaving" Lucas gets angrier
"Maybe the Minister should make a phone call to you. A seminar on good manners would help a lot. And maybe a reminder when a citizen is asking for help to look into the case and not to turn a blind eye for the sake of your son."
"Come here, Anna." Sam squeezes me a little more.
"Leave her now" Lucas yelled
"Sam leave her and let's go" his father say
He leaves my hand abruptly and tells me
"We're not done,"
"I think you're done. Anna come here" I run and hug him
"Please, can we leave now?"
"Yes let's go," he says and he takes me and Fluffy and we leave without looking back.
