CHAPTER FOUR
Sarah Pov
“Are you following me?” I asked and his brow rose. “Is this some kind of sick joke to payback for bumping into you?”
“You’re getting ahead of yourself Toph-” My mouth dropped opened and i stared at him, did he just refer to me as a character from a kids cartoon?
“I’m not toph, the name is sarah.” i said but his lips spread on his lips.
“Well whatever princess-” he said completely ignoring the correction. “And don’t get ahead of yourself. None of this is to spite you, you’re not that important.” He muttered and i clenched my fists together.
“Is this what you do for a living?” I asked and he stared at me confused. “Be a jerk.” A small snicker comes from behind me and i can tell that Andrew is equally enjoying this.
“Is your mouth always this sharp?” He snapped back, “Because i can think of ways to shut you up.” My cheeks warmed at the thought of him shutting me up.
“Well- well- at least i’m not an overgrown hot child in a man’s suit.” I slapped my hands over my mouth and scolded myself for my statement.
“You think i’m hot?”
“No i think you’re annoying like a child.” I said avoiding his gaze.
“But you also think i’m hot-”
“For christ sake, in as much as this is entertaining to watch you two should stop.” I turned to the sound of the guy standing far off by another car. He was dressed in simple shirt and plain jeans with glasses covering his eyes.
“You said you weren’t coming in until Four-” the guy from the bar said.
“It is three thirty, same thing.” The man answered with a shrug and his attention on me. “You are one brave lady, putting my brother in his place.” So they were brothers, noted.
“She wasn’t putting me in my place, she is outrightly being annoying.” Suit guy said turning his attention to me.
“But you have to give it to her christian, she is quite giving it to you. I mean, an overgrown hot child- even i wouldn’t think of that.” I turned to the suit man, so his name was Christain, he was hot, rich but has a terrible personality, a red flag.
“Whatever, you can’t stay here- this place is under demolition.” Christian said with fiery eyes.
“I’m not going to leave,”
“Fine, get crushed for all i care, it’s none of my business.” He said briskly and moved past me. I turned and watched him. The sight of him infuriated me and i wanted nothing more but to knock him out of himself.
“Such an ass.” i muttered to myself.
“I’m sorry about my brother, he can be difficult sometimes.” I turned to the ohter guy, he had a small smile which was to let me know he was nothing like his brother. He extended his hands to me and i eyed him carefully.
“The name’s Daren, older brother to that hot headed man right there.” I didn’t take his hands and chewed on my lips instead, these guys were rich and rich dudes weren’t what they claimed to be, they were pompus, loud, arrogant and everything christian is.
“In case you’re thinking, not every rich person is as you see them.” He said and tucked his hands back.
“Your brother is exactly as i project every rich person.” I stated.
“Look, i’m sorry that you two didn’t start off on the same foot but he’s only doing what he ahs to.” Daren explained and his eyes swept over the space and then back to me. His soft blue eyes were nothing electric like his brothers.
‘Then where am i going to stay? Where am i going to put my mother when she gets out of the hospital? Tell me, huuh- what the hell am i supposed to do?” I said in utter furstration, my nails dug into my palms.
“You-” Daren closed his mouth when he heard of my situation. “I’m sorry about your mother Sarah, and i am really sorry that this is happening right now, it might be a whole lot for you but you have to understand that my brother is just doing what he has to do. This is not an excuse on the other hand but-” he reached into his pockets and pulled out a card, it was white with black streaks done professionally at the top, he handed it to me and reluctantly i accepted it.
“I know it might upset you but as a token to say that i’m sorry can you give this number a call so that we can set you up in a better place.” My eyes snapped up to him.
“What are you saying?”
“I’m saying if you want to get other options of where to stay in then you should give me a call.” he said.
“I can’t take this.”
“But you have, please do not throw it away, just think about it and give me a call, please.” He said sincerly and i chewed on my lips, i had already collected the card, there was no need to discard it now. Daren lookeed sincere and i wanted to trust his words, maybe i should just be calm about this.
“So will you call?”
“You’re giving her your card?” Christian said from behind me and he was awfully close. I could feel the heat radiating of him, i swallowed and made sure not to turn back to look, he reached for the card in my hands and the warmth from the his strong fingers enveloped me, and the heat that radiated the first time he touched me spread again.
“Yeah, just incase.”
“You think she’ll put down her ego and call you- you must be delusional.” He said and as his deep baritone rumbled from behind me, i finally tuned to face him.
“You,” I pressed my pointer against his chest which startled him. “Don’t,” i pressed again.
“Have.” Push.
“The.” push.
“Right.” Push.
“To.” Push.
“Talk.” This time he grabbed my wrist and stopped me from pushing at his hard chest any more. I tried to wiggle out of his hold but he didn’t budge.
“What? I don’t get to talk about you like that? You know it’s true Toph, you are too stuck up to place the call.” he said and my face hardened even more. He was right. I might not place that call since i was stubborn.
“You know why?” He said and before he could respond he pushed back at me taking me by surprise. “Because you’re a stubborn woman who has spent most of her life doing thing by herself and likes to take the head of things.” He said and my eyes widened, he read my entire life in a single deduction.
“That’s not true,” I denied but he wasn’t having any of it, i was now against the car and his presence swept over me.
“You know it is Princess-” I swallowed and chewed on my buttom lips.
“You guys know what?” We were torn by the sound of Daren’s voice.
“What is it?” Christian asked with his eyes still on me.
“I think Sarah might be that girlfriend you need.”
