Mia's POV
I couldn't tell what he was thinking or feeling exactly but I know it wasn't good. Even when we were together ten years ago, it was hard to tell how he felt seeing me with other guys. I tried everything to make him notice me with them so he'd be jealous or something but he didn't.
I regret it all. Wearing skimpy clothes and push-up bras, burying my dignity and respect just to get him to notice me. We'd get together, and I'd think it's for good until he pushes me away again, claiming he feels guilty for f*****g his best friend's sister.
"It's nice to meet you, Mr Scott," Nico said to Dylan cautiously, bringing me back to the present. "Can I give you my business card?"
"I won't be doing any business with someone like you." He rolled his eyes.
Nico chuckled. "Okay then, can I at least buy you a drink?"
"I can buy my drinks, little man. Why the f**k are you trying to act like we're pals?"
"Dylan!!" I gasped. Why was he being more rude than usual? Was he annoyed? Tired? No way..... is he jealous? Mr Confident f**k boy is jealous I'm so close to a hot man like Nico. I wished I could laugh out loud but that would seem weird and make things more awkward.
"Just trying to be friendly with Mia's client that's all. It's not like I want to be buddies with an asshole like you." Nico scoffed and then turned to me. "How do you cope with him? He's going to be a lot of work."
"He's tough all right." I sighed. "But you know me, Nico, I'm good at what I do." I smile at him reassuringly
"Yeah, I know that Mia, but be careful." He turned to Dylan and eyed him briefly before whispering to me, "He has the eyes of a predator. A really hungry one that wants to f**k you in every style known to man."
"You know I can hear you right?" Dylan said before walking over to me and yanking me to his side. My heart started racing, I was confused, pissed and a little bit glad for some reason. I didn't expect him to react this way so what gives?
"Only a predator can recognise a fellow predator. I won't deny it though. If I get the chance, I'll be balls deep in her tonight."
The f**k? This filthy son of a cunt. There are people around us who could hear, for f***s sake; this could affect us. I tried to move away from him but he pulled me in, holding me tighter. This got complicated so fast, I don't want people thinking we have a thing going on.
If the media gets ahead of this, that'd be the end of my career. They'd say I sleep with my Clients or some other s**t, I couldn't let this go on. "Uh Nico, it was nice seeing you again, but I'm really tired now; we had a long day. We can catch up later, okay?" I manage to wriggle myself out of Dylan's hold and move to hug Nico.
"Okay, Mia. I'll be looking forward to it." He glanced at Dylan with malice. "Remember. Be careful around that guy." He kissed my hand before leaving.
After he was gone, Dylan angrily dragged me to a room at the back of the hotel. How the hell does he know about this place anyway?
"You enjoyed teasing me with that little boy didn't you?"
"You dragged me out here to say that? And why are you calling him a little boy?" I sighed. "Look, you didn't need to be rude, and you could've at least collected his business card. You might need him someday."
"I am who I am today without nobody's help. I didn't need help then and I don't need help now."
"Yet here I am, helping you. How ironic" I laughed.
In the blink of an eye, he gripped the back of my neck and pulled me close to him. I tried to push him away, but it was no use; either my arms were too weak, or he was really strong.
"I know your tricks, Mia. I could see the way you were rubbing your t**s into him, I saw your little smirk, I saw you enjoying my displeasure and annoyance." He pulled me closer and rasped, "The next time you pull a stunt like that with some random loser, I'm going to s***k the hell out of that fat ass of yours"
"Excuse you! You wouldn't dare."
"Oh yes, I would, and you know it too, baby girl."
"f**k you, Dylan! f**k you!" I shoved him again harder.
The next thing I knew, he spun me around and pinned me to the wall with his hand pressing my back; there was no way he was going to do this. "What the-"
SMACK
He s*****d my ass so hard I gasped. "You f****d up asshole! Don't you dare do this a-"
"If you don't keep quiet Mia, I'll have no choice but to lift your skirt, pull down your panties and slap your bare ass."
I bit my lower lip hard to stop myself from talking. My ass burned, but it was in a good way and I could feel my p***y getting wet. It wouldn't be good if he found out I was reacting to him. Deep down I wanted him to s***k my bare ass hard.
"Are you going to be a good girl for me now?" He asked.
I nodded my head reluctantly.
"Use your words, Mia."
"Yes."
"Good girl." He let me go and I quickly turned to slap his damn face. I guess he wasn't expecting me to try anything because he looked shocked and really pissed too.
He held my wrist and yanked me toward him. "I'll let this slide so we can be even, but I advise you not to try this with me in the future. You won't like the angry side of me."
"I don't like any side of you." I took my hand away from him.
"Oh really?" He smirked " I could bet anything that you're soaking wet for me right now after that s***k"
"Don't be delusional!" Okay, he was right this time, but there's no way I'd let him know that. "Why the f**k are we here Dylan? What do you want?"
"I want you to spread those pretty legs so I could get a taste of that sweet p***y of yours I've missed so much."
"Are you high on water? I'm not interested in having s*x with you. In case you have already forgotten, you're just my client and the relationship between us is strictly professional." I inhaled and exhaled deeply, "Look, can we just move on from the past? I don't want to go back, I regret doing all those things just to get you. You didn't want me then so please don't want me now"
He sighed. "I've always wanted you, Mia"
"Yeah right", I scoffed. "I'm not the same teenage girl who was blindly in love with you, so go tell that bullshit to someone else."
"Mia, let's talk about this, let's talk about us."
"There is no us. You made it clear that there was never anything real"
"I'm not that way anymore, I'm not trying to play games with you right now."
"And I'm supposed to believe that because?"
"Things were different then; I couldn't be the man you needed then, but I'm a better person now, and I'm a billionaire, too."
"Who f*****g cares if you're a billionaire? Am I supposed to forget all the pain I suffered and jump into your arms because you claim to be a better man? You have no idea how much you hurt me and my family too. You just disappeared, no calls or texts, f**k! Even a postcard would've been great. But no, nothing at all. Hurting me wasn't enough for you, so you had to hurt my brother, too, someone who stood up for you and introduced you to a happier home. He should've let you suffer in the hands of bullies and your shitty Foster dad! You're still a selfish asshole as far as I can tell so don't think you're going to get me back."
I turned to leave, but he held me back, making me face him again. Looking deep into my eyes, he said, "You're still my favourite girl."
"Enough of this, please. I told you I'm not the same girl, you can't use a lie to get into my pants anymore."
"I'm not just trying to f**k you, Mia. You really are my favourite girl, and I could never lie to you; it's part of the reason why I tried so hard to push you away."
"Look, Mr Scott. I've worked with your type a lot. You businessmen are the same, so I know you could lie to me with the most sincere face to trick me, but I won't be fooled this time."
He stepped closer to me, his eyes looking more desperate. "I swear I've never lied to you Mia, the only time I did was before I left when I said I f****d someone else."
"What?"
"I mean it, I didn't f**k anyone that day."
"No way. Michael even confirmed that you slept with a redhead girl that day, so what the f**k are you trying to pull now?"
"I didn't sleep with anyone. I just let them think I did. I paid the girl to follow me to the room, but we didn't do anything I swear it." He sighed, "I had to let your brother see that because he was getting suspicious of the way we were together and he indirectly threatened to kill me if he found out I ever laid a finger on you."
Michael would definitely do something like that. I get that but still.
"You weren't a fling to me, I just wanted to push you away for good. I wanted you to hate me and move on to a better guy."
"Well, congratulations. You succeeded in the making me hate you part, but because of you, I haven't been able to love and trust another guy completely."
That day remains the worst day of my life. He shattered me completely and I struggled to pick up the pieces of my heart alone. Why did he have to bring this up right now? I shook my head slowly to stop the tears from coming.
He stepped closer till our faces were only inches apart and said softly, "Mia, I'm sorry about everything, especially about the second lie I told you..."
I stared into his beautiful eyes, seeing the truth in them before he said it in words.
"I lied when I said I never loved you. I loved you then, and I still do."
