HER NIKOLAI (Her Volkovs Book 1)

Chapter 16. Found and Kissed.

David told me not to go back to the shop anymore because the Russians might come back for me. I'm walking on the sidewalk two blocks away from the motel. And I have this strange feeling that someone is following me. I speed up my pace and glanced to my back every once in a while.

When I arrived at my motel room I made sure the door's locked. I took a quick shower and jumped to bed. I'm alone, heartbroken and possibly the Russian Mafia has put a target on my head to turn me into a sex slave or something. I know I once said I wanted a free and exciting life, away from my comfort zone that's why I went here, but things just turned from bad to worse so fast.

I don't know why but I found myself laughing so effin hard. I rolled in bed laughing at my possible demise. Oh I am so dead. Last time, my worst concern is to lose my virginity to Nikolai, but now, I am scared shit because most probably I'm going to be sold to the highest bidder, to a man so gross no girl ever want to have sex with.

I'm in the middle of my crazy thoughts when all of a sudden I notice a shadow walk back and forth in front of my door. I can see it in the gap between the door and the floor. I quickly grab my pillow and hugged it tight. Oh my god. Is this it?

My heart jumped in surprise when someone knocked on the door. The shadow now stood still in one place. The knock on the door turned louder and louder.

"Belle."

I listened again. "Belle! Open the door."

I know that familiar voice. I ran towards the door and opened it immediately.

"Dylan!" I hugged him so tight.

"Belle! Shit what happened to you? You're shaking." We sat on the side of the bed. My hands are so cold. I think I'm turning purple already. Dylan took his jacket off and made me wear it.

"I have been looking for you Belle. You made everyone worried."

Dylan hugged me tight, my head is on his chest. I did not say a word.

"Let's go home."

"Home?"

"Yes, you and Amy will live with me now."

"Amy? Amy's here?"

"Yes Belle, she flew in the moment she knew that you were gone."

My bestfriend is here. She flew in just for me.

"Do you still hate me Dy?"

"One can never hate you Belle."

"I'm so sorry Dylan."

Dylan and I left the motel. My bags were sent first to a taxi while Dylan and I rode his bike. A few minutes later we arrived at the house. Dylan's house is painted in white. It has a garage to the left and a lawn in front.

Moments later I see Amy on the door, holding her arms together in front of her. I wanted to run to her but my legs are doing it again. I can see Amy run towards me. We cried in each other's embrace.

"You got us all worried B!"

"I'm sorry A. I miss you so much!"

"I miss you B. Let's go inside."

We are inside Amy's room. Dylan hurriedly cooked dinner for us while Amy and I are on her bed cuddling each other.

"You have lost too much weight. You look like you have not eaten for like forever. What happened to you B?"

I remember everything that has happened to me. I asked the heavens what I have done wrong to deserve all these. I sob. Amy knows that I'm not ready to talk about what happened yet. I feel like my whole body has been slammed a hundred times to the wall. My eyes are tired and my heart is shattered into pieces.
