Chapter 18
“So Sicario huh”! I said
“Listen, Chloe is my ex okay, she just can’t seem to get it in her head that I and her are over and I like you and I want to see more of you, I know all the impression you have of me is not what you thought but I’m not really a good guy but I like you”
The waitress brought in our food and just then Chloe pulled up to the restaurant with her friends
“Looks like we have company,” I said to Mark
“Just don’t mind them, Chloe is all talks”
“If you say so, but I’m telling you now if she even put her finger on me, I won’t play nice”
“I won’t let her do anything to you, you’re my guest”
“Okay,” I said and continued to eat
We ate and talked at the corner of my eye I could see Chloe coming towards us so I just kept my head down
“Well well, look what we have here”
Chloe said with her friends behind her
“I didn’t realize we brought outside people to our spot Mark, you do realize that this is our spot right Marky!?”
I watched the exchange and cut my steak and ate, I had enough drama with Brandon and Stacy as it is I didn’t know these two well enough to be caught in their crossfire
“Chloe this is my territory if I remember correctly and you know of what I’m capable of, so please don’t tempt me”
“Oh please Marky, she surely can’t mean that much to you”
My steak has never tasted so much better, I’m nearly finished I guess confrontations give me an appetite, Mark stood in front of Chloe I could almost see he was going to hit her, now I’m thinking should I or shouldn’t I save her but my steak is still nice and warm… Oh f**k it, might as well so I stood so I can see if my charms work on the beast that needs calming down
“Mark dear, please don’t do this on my watch, I’m nearly done with my steak we can just go back to your place”
“You better watch yourself, Chloe, I won’t hold back because you’re a female I don’t hit women but with you, I’ll make an exception”.
Mark held my hand, I took money from my purse and left it on the table and we walked to the car and I’m thinking to myself, what a ruined lunch it is we drove back to his place, meanwhile I’m not sure whether I want to be in the den with him alone, we ain’t spoke since we left, no music is playing, the car is speeding, I’m just like added furniture in the car, that how I feel.
“Uhm you mind dropping me off at the hotel”
“You want to leave already?”
“It’s a bit awkward so I might as well”
“We’re almost there please bear with me”
We got back at Mark’s mansion, he led me back upstairs to his room, he locked the door behind me and took a gun behind his back which I didn’t notice was there, he put it on top of the table and took a small bag out of the shelves he took a stack of money
“For you, I wanted to give it to you earlier to spoil yourself,” he said
“But this is a lot of money, you don’t owe me anything so this much money is fine”
“I insist,” he said
He took the money and put it in my purse, he looked hot doing it, he put coke on the table and made two lines and smoked in front of me, to say today's experience is eye-opening is beyond an understatement, I don’t know what the f**k, I’ve gotten myself into he just sniffed cocaine right before my eyes, wtf?
“Today wasn’t such a great start was it?”
Mark sat back on the couch closed he’s eyes and leaned back
“You’re a really beautiful girl Vanessa, the fact that you’re still here after today’s event show’s how brave you are and I like that it makes my attraction for you to intensify”
“I’m a bad guy but I really like you, I’ve probably told you this a thousand times but that because I mean it, I will not bring harm to you I won’t force you into anything I just need a chance, get to know each other better, explore with each other”
I looked at him, did I tell you how hot he generally looks my mind is a mess he’s beauty with he’s deep voice is hypnotizing me the fact that he’s looking at me like I’m about to walk out of this door makes me want to kiss him for dear life
“I don’t know Mark, I don’t want trouble I have enough drama as it is going on with my life, you seem like a smart guy and someone who knows what they want, so I’ll be honest with you, I’m not exactly single and I’m not in a relationship it complicated so I don’t want to add fuel to the fire by adding you”
“I don’t care about any of that Vanessa, you caught my eye so I want you, the rest shall sort itself out”
“But you carry a gun Mark, you smoke coke God I’m scared please just give me more time to wrap my head with all of this yeah”
“yeah”
Mark grabbed me and brought my legs to straddle his
