At his disposal

Chapter 13 - Spill the tea love

Nathalie POV

I was staring out of the window trying to ignore him and looking anywhere else but at him as we drove through the city. Luckily, I knew the ride home wasn’t that long so I could see the end of this nightmare.

“So, you’re mad at me?” he asked breaking the silence.

I didn’t even look at him, just shrugged my shoulders and replied “I’m not mad at you, I just don’t know you, and I have no interest in getting to know you when you are that much of a mystery jerk disappearing and reappearing as it pleases you.”

“A jerk really?” I could feel his frustration even though I was not looking at him. “I’m not disappearing and reappearing as it pleases. If I did what pleased me, I had never left your side from the moment I first laid my eyes on you, but there is so much more to it and so much you do not know about. It’s complicated okay.” His voice turned more frustrated and even a bit desperate as he stated this, so I couldn’t let myself leave him hanging like that.

“Then tell me what I don’t know and why it’s complicated.” I said with an emotionless tone not wanting to make him misinterpret anything.

“I… I just can’t… Not yet…” He sighed defeated. But it irritated me to my gut that he couldn’t just tell me what was going on, and right as I was about to answer we drove up in front of my house. I didn’t give him the time to get out of the car and open my door I just jumped out while answering.

“Then just leave me alone until you can, I don’t have time for this I need to be somewhere.” I said as I closed the car door behind me and started walking towards the front door. But he was quicker than me and grabbed me by my wrist before I reached the door, turning me around to look at him.

“I can’t leave you alone.” He said as our eyes locked and I stared into those beautiful brown ones of his, him still holding on to my wrists and taking a step closer so that we were only inches apart. I let out a breath as my lips parted but no words came out. He bend down taking a deep sniff at the curve of my neck and having him this close was so intoxicating, I could smell how nice he smelled and it almost made me pass out.

“Where are you going, why are you in such a hurry” he continued with his warm breath striking across my skin and his lips so close to my ears. In that moment all I wanted was to just give him whatever he wanted so I leaned my head to the side to give him full access as I let out a small moan when trying to reply.

“I’m… going… speed-…speed dating uhm with friends…” I finally stuttered out, but I wish I never had because as soon as the words had left my mouth, I felt him stiffening and tighten the grip he had at my wrist. I don’t even know why he reacted like this. He had no right. We were nothing but strangers.

“You. are. MINE” he growled out at me with such possessiveness I had never experienced before as he took me in his arms lifting my head up by the chin and looking me deep in the eyes, his filled with something raw, maybe lust? Before he crashed his lips down on mine. I wasn’t expecting it and he took me of guard, so I let out a sigh which parted my lips enough to give him the access he clearly wanted. He kissed me with such passion and tasted every corner of my mouth and I could not deny how much I wanted this too never end. In fact, I wanted more, he tasted and smelled so delicious and I wondered what else his lips could do of wonders. He parted from me to catch a breath and I let out a moan as he whispered against my neck.

“Sooo f*****g sweet, you taste so sweet baby” he said as he kissed me down my neck, then he took a step back looking down at me.

“You’re not going to the speed date tonight.” He stated just like that.

I was still trying to recover from his touch and collect myself, but I managed to answer him;

“Of course I am, you are not my dad, neither my boyfriend, you have no right to tell me what I can or cannot do” I spit at him and before he managed to process what I had just told him I ran to the door, swooped in and locked it after me.

I looked through the window and I saw him standing there restless walking back and forth as if he was at war with himself about what to do next. He tugged at his hair running his finger through it before he turned around jumped into his car and drove away. I felt relief and ran upstairs to quickly change into something for the night before heading out to meet the girls at Alice’s place, I needed to leave now before my parents got home and would make me be even more late than I already was.

…

As soon as I walked into Alice’s room the girls stared at me.

“So, spill the tea honey” Emma said as the first one to break the silence.

“Arh come on girls there really isn’t much to tell” I said as I looked down at me feet fiddling with a stray of hair and put it behind my ear. As I looked up, they were all staring at me with arched brows not believing a word that had left my mouth.

“Okay okay” I sighed in surrender and continued “He picked me up, drove me home kissed me and then he left.” I said trying to sound cool, but I could feel the heat in my cheeks knowing I was growing red…

“OMG”

“Awww”

“He kissed you?!”

They all gushed at me…

“It’s really no big deal girls can we please change the subject. I need your help to do my makeup before we leave” I said trying to switch the focus. I could see they were hesitant but after a bit more persuading, they agreed and helped me with my makeup so we could head downtown.

As we entered the club it was already packed with people and in the middle of the room, tables were set up in a line stating that girls should sit on one side and boys on the other. The rules to the speed date tournament were that you got 2 minutes with each person of opposite gender and when the time ran out the girls moved one chair to the right. In the end everybody was supposed to vote for the person that had been their best speed date and the one with most votes would win 3 bottles of booze for the night.

When the conferencier told us to, we all found a place and waited for the game to start, but just seconds before the clock went on the door to the club swung open and he walked in. Alexander.

He looked through the room and I could hear the girls gasping as he started to walk towards me. He stopped when he reached the chair across from me and looked down at the poor guy who was supposed to speed date me.

“I think you’re in my seat” he stated ice cold, shooting daggers at the guy who didn’t even manage to get a word out. He just raised from the chair giving it to Alexander as he walked away and took a chair in the furthest corner. As Alexander sat down, he stared into my eyes.

“Hey” he just said as if everything that had just happened was completely normal and then I heard the clock go of which meant the speed dating had started. People around us started small talking but I just looked at him with nothing to say.

“What are you doing here” I finally managed to get out.

“You said you didn’t know me, I’m here to change that” he said.

“By interrupting my fun outing with friends” I asked him raising a brow.

“You didn’t say anything earlier about friends” he just stated.

And with that I heard the bell ring, the two minutes had passed, and it was time for a new speed date. I rose from my seat moving one to the right but then I saw Alexander do the same, telling the other guy to take his place.

As we sat down, I stared at him in disbelief “Are you just here to make sure I am not dating anyone else?!” I asked

He smirked at me “Maybe…” and with that I rose to my feet instantly. I looked towards my girls.

“Hey guys I’m leaving, I’m not feeling that well.” And before they could stop me, I stormed out of the club. I could feel him behind me, feel him following me, so I turned around and he almost bumped into me not expecting me to stop moving all of a sudden.

“Please just leave me alone!” I yelled at him staring into his eyes filled with confusion.

“I don’t want you near me until you explain what is going on and why you are acting this weird, following me around” I continued in a stern voice.

“I promise I’ll tell you everything” he answered me sounding so desperate. “But not here, okay? Please just come with me then?” he asked of me…

I didn’t know what to do or what to say but I felt something inside of me longing for him so deeply, longing to be near him and kiss him again and I needed to know why it had to be this mysterious and complicated. Why we couldn’t just date like normal people. So I nodded at him and before I knew it he lifted me up and threw me across his shoulder as he ran away with me through the woods only lit up by the light of the moon getting through small cracks in the ceiling of trees here and there. I felt the air across my face and realized he was running at a non-human speed. So fast I had never experienced it before. I just closed my eyes and thought to myself; what have I gotten myself into.
