Bleeding Asshole

SONG FOR THIS CHAPTER:

THE SCIENTIST-COLDPLAY

CHAPTER 6

CORINNE

I closed up the studio and waited for some uber driver to accept my booking. But I know it is impossible, I might get to walk back home again since this place is shady and crime do happen more often, so almost all the drivers are dodging the booking from here because I think they thought that this was sort of a scam to hold up them, not that I am blaming them.

The sirens on this place is evident, and it grew louder and louder. the place where my studio reside is dark and the front is a dandelion field, or I might say a neglected dandelion field.

I can't say that I'm used to this place and I'm not scared anymore. Because every day, I am afraid that what else can be shown to me that is the ugliness of this place. I can afford to buy a decent place for my studio, but I think the reason why I am drawn to this place is because of its undeniable resemblance to the neighborhood I grew up in.

The sky is so dark along with the streets surrounding me. the air is chilly and the only sound I can hear is the chirping and the siren.

I checked my phone to see that I had no luck in finding an uber driver, I sighed and decided to start my walk back home when I heard a loud footstep behind me, as if it’s running towards me.

I dared to turn around to see who was running towards the direction I was standing now. My chest was pounding so hard that it felt like my heart was going to come out of my chest.

And I am right, it’s a very tall man who is running so hard towards me, and the police siren grew bigger and louder each step he took near me.

It is so dark that I can’t even see who is this man, but when I did, When I saw who he was, my chest pounded harder. Because I know the capabilities of this person. He can make me vanish too if he wants. I could hardly move from where I was standing while waiting for him to come to me.

Run.

That’s what my mind kept saying, but my body is refusing to do so. It’s as if I am paralyzed in fear. I never thought that Blaze Mayhem will make me this scared off of him. The first time, that he tried to kill me, I didn’t feel any fear, because all I can feel is the madness of what he did to Gian.

But now, every fiber of my bone is squeezing hard. I can’t even breath as he took every step near me.

It’s as if he was so ready to pounce on me.

When he was in front of me, he kept telling me the word "Keys" while he was holding me by my waist, I don't know what happened next because I gave him the key to my studio. And when the pull-up door was opened, she shoved me real hard inside and immediately closed and locked the door.

The place was so dark, I can’t even see him. I heard the police siren just outside my studio, just when I am about to scream a hard body and a huge hand pressed my lips close while making me lean on the pull-up door. I can feel his chest pounding, I can hear his breathing.

“Don’t even think about it, baby girl.” He growls. And I just nod.

I can hear the police officers got out of their car and search for him, what did he do this time that even the police officers were after him?

“Where did that punk go?” the other police asked, from what I can hear he was just standing outside my studio.

“I don’t know, that rat is so fast.” The other one said.

“We f*****g almost got him.” He sounds so pissed.

What did he do? Why does this people doesn’t seem to know him, because as far as I know Havoc Mayhem also holds the police, not only in Oklahoma but all over America?

I heard their footsteps retreats and along with the opening and closing of their police patrol car and they drove away.

When Blaze was sure that I won’t scream again, or at least I tried he release me from his hold.

I opened the light switch to find him standing just so close to me, looking at me intently. But what I noticed is the blood that’s been flowing on the side of his stomach non-stop.

I gasped “What the f**k?”

He looks at it too and touch the blood that’s been oozing on him. He groans but he doesn’t seem in so much pain, given that he still able to run that fast away from the police.

“What happened?” I didn’t move from where I am standing.

“s**t happens.” He winced as he took a sit on my couch.

Now, he looks in so much pain. I can just leave him here to bleed to die, but off course I wouldn’t do that.

Where can I throw his body if that happens? And I am sure I won't be able to get through this time because the Mafia Prince has already died.

And why am I even thinking about this?

I sighed and get the first aid kit then took a sit beside him on my couch, I prepared everything I might need when I can feel his gaze lingering on my every move.

“What are you doing?” he asked.

“Saving your ass.” I shrug as I shove his shirt out of his torso. And I don’t know why I suddenly felt the urge to look at his muscle’s contracts.

I even swallowed hard.

“Liking the view?”

I wanted to punch his smirk as he figured out that I am in fact, checking him out. I am so f*****g stupid.

Instead of answering him, I pressed the gauge deeper on his wounds that made me squirm.

It’s my time to smirk when he looks at me intently.

“Are you saving me or f*****g killing me?”

“Both. I might say to the police that I even tried to save you but it’s too late.” I shrug as I start to treat his wound, it’s just a small stab but it’s deep.

“Too bad, I will not die from a knife stab."

“So, this is a knife stab. What did you do this time for you to earn a deep wound?”

“If I tell you, you would let me kiss you.”

I stopped and look at him, he’s dead serious. I chuckle “f*****g pervert.”

“Come on. Aren’t you curious?” he smirks.

“I am not. I am not even a little bit interested in you or what you have to say, Blaze Mayhem.” I shrug as I start to sanitize his wound.

“Really? So, why bother stopping me from bleeding?”

“Don’t flutter yourself Mister Cosa nostra Prince. I will gladly let you bleed for life; the only problem is you’re here in my f*****g studio.”

He chuckles “That. And I will haunt you for life.”

I looked at him intently and close up his wound “I can’t stitch it close. I suggest you go to the nearest hospital here.”

“I am fine.”

I stood up and looked at him, he was far from fine, his wound can even get infection if wasn’t closed up properly “No, you’re not.”

“Then kiss me and I will run to the nearest hospital you’re telling me.” he crossed his arms and pout like a spoiled kid. Why would suddenly he wanted to kiss me? is he high? Or is he drunk?

I scoffed “You know what, I don’t f*****g care. Can you just leave my studio so I can go home?”

He stood up and took the time to drink in all my paintings and my sculpture inside my studio, and suddenly I feel I vulnerable.

“You’re fascinating.”

“I am not, and don’t ever find me fascinating. I am far from it.” I shrug.

He looks at me, his eyes held an emotion that I can’t quite pinpoint. This is the first time I had an alone time with the Angry god. And I don’t know why my every nerve is shaking uncontrollably. And I don’t like this.

“I might kiss you.”

I swallowed hard at the tenderness and seriousness of his voice, but I have to think carefully.

Think about Gian.

“I am not Gian.”

“Who told you are?” he took a painfully slow stride towards me, and when he’s in front of me he put his huge calloused hands on my face.

My face is mall compare to his hands. He can squeeze the life out of me he wants to.

“You’re going to kill me too if you had enough of me?” I didn’t even try to hide the venom on my voice, and he didn’t even flinch as he looks at me straight in my eyes.

He leans closer to me, our lips are almost touching, I can even smell the cigarette and coffee on his breath “Yeah, but I will f*****g make sure you’re going to enjoy every second of it.”

The lust in his voice is evident that even shoots electricity down my core.

He affects me. the angry god affects me.

I thought that he’s not going to make me squirm and tighten the knots on my stomach, but surprisingly he did.

There is a sudden tension between us inside my dark studio while he is bleeding in front of me. and the way he’s hand wrapped around my neck, I wanted him to choke me until I can’t breathe anymore.

He leans even more closer and I closed my eyes and instantly, I see Diesel.

If I do this with his cousin, we’re done. And I can’t afford that. I have to cling on even a little hope that there is a future between us. But if I put my lust first, it’s the dead end of it.

Blaze stops as he looks at me “It’s Diesel, right?”

“What?”

“You’re thinking about my f*****g cousin while I am in front of you.” He looks mad.

“I am.”

He scoffed and stands up straight away from me “Too bad, I wasn’t him.”

“Who told you, you are?”

He looks at me smile “Because I f**k hard and dry. While him? He f***s like a pony.”

I swallowed hard at his words. Rumor has it that Blaze was into rough s*x. Yeah, too rough that I see the bruise on Gian’s body before she passed.

My phone rings and it was from my father, I answered instantly “Yes, Father. I’m on my way, I just closed up the studio. Sorry.” I hang up and look at Blaze still looking at me.

“I need to go home.”

“I’ll drive you.”

I shake my head “No, I am fine. I can just take an uber.”

“There’s no uber that’s going to pick you up here. It’s either, I’ll drive you home or someone will make sure you can’t go home. You choose.”

I sighed, he’s right. It’s passed ten o’ clock now in the evening. And it was so dangerous in here to stay outside.

“Fine.”

“Stay here, I’ll get my bike.” He runs off and hugs myself because the air went so cold.

A loud roar booms and I can instantly see Blaze’s Harley. A f*****g big bike.

He stops in front of me and gives me his helmet. “Hop in.”

“It’s a f*****g big bike.” I didn’t mean to be a b***h, but I am just wearing a short skirt, too bad it is our uniform.

He smirks while he didn’t even hide the fact that he is checking me out. But I love it, it’s twisted to be attracted to someone who knew that painted in your mind who is a monster.

But I can’t deny the fact that this Angry god is a f*****g epitome of s*x.

“You can just scoot closer to me; don’t worry I’ll take care of you.”

“Did you say the same thing to Gian?”

“I won’t. Actually, I would never. Because I didn’t f*****g date her.”

I sighed and get the helmet on his hands “Fine.”

I hop in and scoot closer to him, he made me scoot even more closer and hold my lef bare leg. The wind is cold, but his hands were warm. And his hands on my bare skin makes the hair on it stood up.

And I know given the smirk he’s wearing right now, he noticed it too.

Fucking asshole.
