CHAPTER FIVE
“f**k” Clara kept on tossing on the bed over and over.
After she ran out of the restaurant like her body was on fire, his laughter kept on ringing in her ears and the crazy part was she didn't even know his name.
“Are you okay?” Mark asked for the hundredth time.
When he left her in the restaurant, he had a feeling that something was going to happen and he was right, every since she came back , she has been acting so weird.
“I'm fine, have you called Allison?” She asked diverting the topic, she knew how worried Mark would be when he finds out what happened.
“Yeah, I have, they said we should not worry, they will be back in the morning and they have good news for us” Mark sounded from Allison's bed he was sleeping on.
“Ohkay, that good” Clara replied.
Her mind drifted back to him, he looked so dangerous, his words and attitude screamed of danger.
“I need to stay away from him” she said to herself, he wasn't good for her.
Eliot felt pleased with himself when she ran out of the restaurant, she looked like a deer running away from the big bad wolf.
“Clara” he whispered her name softly.
His ears caught her name when Mark called her and since then, her name stuck to his mind. She smelt so divine when he leaned towards her, he felt like burying his nose in the crook of her neck.
He didn't know why he felt a pull so strong whenever he was with her, his mind was at peace with the few minutes he spent with her.
“I don't deserve peace” he said looking at his reflection on the window.
He still blamed himself for Lyra's death, if he didn't force her, she would have still been alive, the only way he could repay her was by finding her killer and joining her whenever she was.
“Guys, wake up we have good news” Stephen shouted immediately he came in with Allison.
He jumped on Mark who was still sleeping and shook his body.
“Oh no” Clara grumbled when she felt Ally tickling her feet.
“What's the problem?” Mark muttered while sitting up on the bed.
He didn't have a peaceful sleep, he dreamt about Clara and that stranger kissing themselves, he felt so frustrated and annoyed. He needed to separate them and never let them see each other again.
“ We have big news” Allison said with her tiny voice.
“Should we tell them babe” Stephen asked keeping both of them in suspense.
“Yes baby, let's tell them” Allison replied.
Clara felt her head about to explode but she decided to calm herself, she knew they must be tired because the stayed outside throughout the night.
“Guys, tell us details so you both can rest and Mark and I will watch over today” She suggested.
“Awwwn, captain is so sweet” Allison leaned towards her and squeeze her tight.
“Huff, Allison you are killing me” she replied when Allison grip on her tightened.
“Oh my bad” Allison quickly released her.
“During our stakeout, Starry night Club is filled with a lot of top influencer people” Stephen said as he spread out all the pictures they took of the people entering the club.
Clara quickly joined him on the other bed and Mark sat up, they both took the pictures and looked at each other in surprise.
“You are both surprised right, that's how we felt when we saw all the pictures” Stephen told them.
“My goodness, these are top people in the police department and even in the government” Clara looked shocked with all the pictures.
“Yes, we were so surprised and everyone of them was seen shaking Mike's hand” Allison pointed at all the pictures.
“ Clara, with everything, I have a feeling Mike knows we are here” Mark said looking at their reaction.
“I thought about it too but we have to do our job, it would get tough now because they would be careful but we have to c***k them down” Clara said feeling anger towards all the officials that were in support of the crimes.
“You both, take a rest you really tried, I'll go and freshen up” Clara walked into the bathroom.
“Well done guys” Mark told them.
“When are you going to tell her?” Stephen suddenly asked.
“Tell her what?” Mark looked at him.
“That you love her” Allison laughed at his expression.
“Only a blind person wouldn't see how your eyes always follow her movement and how you are so attentive to her” Stephen said.
“I never knew it was that obvious” Mark smiled.
“It is, but I don't think she can see it, she just think you are been caring because she's your captain” Allison looked at him.
“Just tell her” She said.
“I'll tell her when the time is right but for now, let me keep on protecting her” Mark looked at the bathroom door.
“Alright man, I wish you best of luck” He patted Mark's shoulder.
“Let's sleep babe” he pulled Allison to her and covered them both with the duvet.
“I feel so sleepy” Mark yawned for the fifth time.
“Didn't you sleep well?” Clara asked feeling concerned.
“I did, I just don't know why I'm still feeling sleepy” Mark lied, he stayed up thinking about her and the guy then spent half of the night staring at her.
“Go and get coffee, I'll be here” she suggested.
“Alright, I'll be right back” he got down from the car.
Clara kept on looking at the club when she saw a familiar figure walk inside.
“That's the guy I met at the club and restaurant, what is he doing here” she asked herself, feeling curious, she got down from the car and entered the club.
It was afternoon so it wasn't packed with people, Clara kept on looking around for anyone like him but he seemed to have suddenly disappeared.
“Are you looking for me?” A familiar voice said behind her.
Clara turned and saw his black eyes staring at her, she took a step back when she saw how close they were.
“Why would I, I'm looking for someone else” She replied him.
“Really, I can see you aren't running away” he challenged her.
“Why will I?” She felt her cheek getting hot with his words.
“Oh really, have you forgotten my words” he smirked.
Clara felt lightheaded with the distance, she could remember his words so clearly, he threatened to eat her up when next they met, that was what made her run out of the restaurant that day.
“You remember, but I guess you didn't think I mean every word” he took a step closer.
Clara took steps backwards when he came closer soon her back hit the wall.
“No place to run” he teased.
A lot of people were moving around not minding them, Clara felt small in front of him.
“ I have things to do” she wanted to brush him off but he held her waist and raised her chin towards his face.
“Here's something to remember me” he said before his lips crashed against hers.
Clara felt everything seize when he kissed her, his lips felt so good that she found herself kissing him back.
Eliot felt his heart beat fast when she kissed him back, he just wanted to tease her but he found herself wanting more.
She tasted so sweet and her waist to soft when he squeezed it and she let out a moan, he felt like taking her right there and now.
“What the hell” A voice roared and yanked him away from her.
Clara reagined her senses when she saw him laying on the floor, when she looked up she found herself staring into Mark's eyes which was burning with anger
