At the sight of him, her mind ran with different thoughts, already knowing that the night wasn't going to end well.
People should at least be allowed to finish the course of their disobedience before being punished because getting caught sucks. She thought.
He was in a white long sleeve tucked into the black trousers with three of its buttons undone from what she could see from the distance and even though he was angry, he looked good.
He also looked like trouble and she was terrified of him and what he was thinking about doing and the last thing she wanted was a commotion at this event, Anita and George would never forgive her and she wouldn't forgive herself either.
She didn't know which was the right thing to do, go up to him and ask him what he was doing at the event or ignore him and pretend as though she didn't see him and hopefully he would go away. She realised the second option was dumber than the dumbest idea she ever had and she decided to go with the first.
She tried to rehearse a good line for an escape as she got closer, but her brain went blank of ideas and all the words she had learnt throughout her entire life faded away. She cursed under her breath and the closer she got towards him the more nervous she became and sweat broke out on her skin and her grip on the tray tightened. She finally got to him and her eyes lifted to stare at the big man standing before her looking like he wanted to strangle her that very instant.
"Cainan," she said, dragging a deep breath as she saw the fury brewing in his eyes. "W-what are y...ou doing here?"
"I'm here to take you back home, Jasmin. Go to the kitchen, drop that thing in your hand and come back so I can take you home." He ordered with a tight tone that was not asking for a debate.
"No," the single objection was all she could utter even though she feared for the worse. "I can't go with you, Cainan."
He stepped up towards her so that there is almost no space between them, his teeth clench and his nostril breathing out hot air, "You will do as I say, I've had it will your unruly attitude!"
She stood her ground even as the ground beneath her trembled, "I can't go with you, I still have thirty minutes to go, once I do that, we will leave." She retained her firm voice.
"I wasn't making a suggestion, I was making a statement."
She stepped back a little, her head held up and her eyes fixed in his, "Then you will have to drag me out."
He raised a finger and she saw him fighting to keep his fury in check, "Do not push me, Ms Whyte, I will drag you out."
She raised a brow and scoffed at his threat, "And ruin a perfect religious event because of your ego? I think not. Thirty minutes more and I'll be done."
She had no idea what came over her and gave her such boldness, but being around him for the past five weeks made her a little nonchalant about his words in form of threats.
Red flashed in his eyes and he grabbed her by her arm, "I make orders, I make the rules. Your job is to follow and you already went against my words which were to not come here and you will get your punishment for that, do not add to it." he warned through gritted teeth.
Her stomach tightened at his sudden move, she had taken it too far and caused him to snap and he was furious with her.
"Is everything okay?" Anita asked, coming over to where they were.
He released his grip on her arm and she turned immediately to her and the look of fear on her face disappeared, "Cainan came to take me home, but he seems to be thirty minutes early." She replied with a forced smile and gently patted Cainan on the chest and she shivered when her hand felt the muscle underneath his clothes.
