Destined to be Theirs

21 Questions Mechi POV

I just stand there at the top of the stairs stunned, mouth dropped down to the floor with Midus' revelation. He smirks at me and says " Don't tell me you thought I was just the bartender." He looks at at me now and says " you may want to close that jaw don't need to catch any flies." While holding back his laughter and gently guides me further into the VIP section with his hand on my lower back. I quickly shut my mouth, head bowed and I know I am blushing because I can feel the heat coming of my face and ears. I don't say a word as we make it to the booth at the far back. Thoughts swirling out of control, not knowing how to proceed with Midus, I just made a fool of myself back there.

Standing next to the booth not yet sitting with my head still hung low in embarrassment I feel Midus' hand gently lift it with his thumb on my chin. As soon as he touches my chin with his hand I feel like I have been zapped lightly. Tingles and sparks erupt from my chin down my neck to the rest of my body. It's not a bad feeling just unexpected and I gasp as it reaches down into me. I snap my head up and look directly into Midus' eyes which seem to be glowing? I don't know what to do I'm stuck, these warm tingles are still going through my body like waves, staring up at him unable to move or talk just breathing heavily, like I just ran a marathon. I see Midus' glowing golden eyes widen and a smile slowly makes its way into his face, "I knew it!" I hear him whisper. That jolts me back into being " You knew what?" I say. " What is going on Midus I'm starting to freak out and I feel this warm tingling sensation and I... I... I....don't know what to do or say..." I'm starting to babble and stutter really bad because I'm scared of what is happening.

I see Midus look around us and then says to me "Would you like to go somewhere more private so we can discuss what's happening here?"

I'm not sure I should we just met and now all this new information is coming out I don't think I should go with him. He must notice the thoughts going through my head because I still have yet to say a word. "Look I'm not going to harm you but what I have to say really shouldn't be discussed out in the open like this." Now I'm starting to back away from him as soon as I leave his touch the tingling stops. Midus reaches out for me like he doesn't want me to leave his embrace. "Please?" he asked with a sound of desperation in his voice.

I look around the floor quickly seeing a restroom I make an excuse that I have to use it. Midus nods at me and seems to understand the hidden words that I'm not saying "I'll be right here when you come back."

In the bathroom I'm pacing the little walkway in front of the stalls. what do I do we just met?

This thought and so many other keep spiraling in my head. So I trust him, do run away? I could but then I'll never know what he wants to say. I didn't run from earlier when I caught James with Stacey. NO I tell myself if I can stand there and endure that fiasco then I can trust Midus and see what he has to say.

With my mind made up I splash some water on my face quickly patting it dry with a paper towel, thank God I don't have a full face of makeup on. I see Midus standing close by as I walk out. He makes his way over to me with a look of hope in his eyes. Squaring my shoulders I look up at him and finally utter out an "Okay let's go" to him. The smile that lights up his face make him even more handsome and almost unreal. I smile back but mine is more on the weary side of thing.

Midus leads us to an employee door the goes into a hall where I'm guessing is office is at seeing as he is the owner and all. I almost forgot about that detail in the midst of all the tingling and freaking out . Quietly we enter and it's a very lux office, with a nice mahogany desk with one of those big boy expensive black leather deck chairs behind it. all this sets in the back of the room and we're we are is the sitting are that has been set up with two sofas facing each other and nice lounge chairs and opposite ends facing each other. It's in like a rectangle but with a coffee table in the middle and enables at the end of each couch. This sitting are is where we go, instead of sitting in front of each other we sit next to one another with one leg on the couch while the other is on the floor.

"I know you are nervous and you have lots of questions." Midus begins, then he gets up and walks over to a mini bar that I totally miss and pours us both a glass of whiskey and comes back. With everything that's happened I shoot it back in one gulp and look into his mesmerizing eyes. "Yes I do have lots of questions and for the sake of my already gone nerves let's start with the simple one first." I say proud that my voice didn't waiver.

Midus smiles and nods his head. "Alright, so my easy question for you is, what's your name? You know mine and you never said yours." I gasp in shock realizing he is absolutely right I never did tell him my name. Giggling at that revelation I say "It's quite unique, my name is Mechi." (pronounced Meesh) He smiles at me saying what a beautiful name it is. I blush to this because it's usually a point where people always make fun of it and especially when they see it spelled out so I don't know how to take this small compliment to my name.

We spend the next hour or so playing twenty-one questions and the more I ask about him the more nervous he seems to get like he is working his way up to something big. Its making me nervous because I'm constantly coming up with reasons why he is so nervous to tell me. The voice in my mind is hopping to all kinds of things like he's a gangster, or a Mafia don. Yes my mind goes from the worst case scenario only to get worse as it goes down the line. I am so nervous I'm starting to shake an I halt the conversation "Midus just tell me what has you do nervous because honestly I'm getting ready to jump and run because I'm trying to some up with all these things you're not saying and my mind is going from one bad scene to another and I don't know if I can half that and..." Midus cuts me off from my rambling and word vomit.

"I don't know how to tell you without you freaking out and running away, but I can guarantee it's none of what you are thinking." Midus goes to explain as I blow out a breath I was holding and nod for him to continue. "I'm not from here, I'm a dragon shifter from the DraKon territory of The Realm." I cut him off with my laughter, I just keep laughing to the point of tears, I know I'm hurting his feelings because I can't see his face shifting from one emotion to the next. Once I'm finally done I look at his sulking face, "I'm so sorry about that I was unprepared for that statement and I think my laughter was a release of pent up nerves." I comment " I am not laughing at what you said but the things I was convincing myself of to what you just confessed to me."

Midus still sulking and looks like he doesn't believe me but still says "That most definitely was not the reaction I was thinking of you having, but I'm glad you didn't run away, or call me a lunatic."

Giggling i say "I bet" he finally smiles and says "what did you think I was going to say?"

Almost bursting into laughter again I tell Midus that I had come up with everything from him being a thug to an assassin and everything in-between. We break out laughing after I've explained my thoughts to him.
