Master turned Soft

(8)

Kendall's pov-

"Drink this" Julian handed me a glass of water and sat next to me on the couch.

"Thank you" I said quietly and took the glass. I stared blankly at the wall. I shouldn't have been so friendly to a stranger and this wouldn't have happened. Or almost happened. Thanks to Julian who somehow rescued me. Again. "How'd you know where I was" I asked softly.

"Was there. For about an hour or two watching you dance with him. My buddies and I were going out for a drink." He said. I glanced down to his wrist and saw the bands. White and blue. "I looked away for a few minutes and you disappeared. Found your friends and they said you and him had gone to the bathroom."

"Polly." I looked at him.

"They know I took you." He rubbed his face.

"I didn't mean to anger you." I looked down at the glass I was clutching.

"What? No." He grabbed my chin lightly, "I'm not angry at you. You did nothing wrong. I'm angry.. at blondie. And your two friends for allowing it to happen. I'm angry because his hands were all over you. I'm angry because I looked away."

I furrowed my eyebrows.
"It's not your job to babysit me."

"Look what happens when I don't" he said softly. "I'm angry because you were put in a situation that terrified you. I've never seen you look like that before. Pale. Panting. Scared for your life."

"But you stopped it so it's okay" I tried to reassure him.

He let go of my chin and took my glass away, setting it on the coffee table. He grabbed my hand and shifted the bands around.

"Blue?" He chuckled curiously.

"I dunno" I looked down at it. His touch making me nervous. And not in a bad way.

He fiddled with the band and sighed, "let's get you to bed."

"Julian" I said as he was getting up. "Thank you. For always rescuing me."

He pet my hair softly, his fingers making their way through even though I know it's knotted.
"Come on."

He lead me to his room and pulled the covers back, then went to his closet and grabbed a shirt and some sweats.

"They will be big but more comfortable then what you have on" he laid them down. "I'll be in the guest room down the hall if you need anything."

"Thank you"

"Stop thanking me" he chuckled. "Feel free to shower if you want."

"Okay tha-"

He gave me a stern look before bidding me goodnight and leaving me alone. I went to the bathroom and grabbed a towel and started the shower. I wanted to wash that man off me.

Julians soap smelled so good. And he had actual shampoo and conditioner- not some 1 in 9 shit that you could use to clean your car, mop your floor, and wash the windows with too.

I finished up quickly and dried my hair and body before getting dressed and turning the light out.

I sat up in bed and looked around. I was scared. And didn't wanna be alone.

I got up and held the large pants up as I walked down the hall. I knocked on the door softly.

"Yes?" I opened it slowly and twisted my hands together. "Needing something?" He asked as he laid in bed with some paperwork around him.

"Uh-" you idiot, he's busy. "Nevermind"

"Kendall" he called out. I turned around and he moved the papers to the table beside the bed and flipped the covers back. "Come on."
