The Act

Stubborn

Sage POV

Pain was the first thing i was met with when i woke up in the morning. My head hurt like a bitch and my feet were sore as hell. A strong and masculine cologne fills my nose and i'm even more confused. Looking around the room I panic not being familiar with my surroundings.

Please don't tell me I went home with a random man.

I try to think back to last night only getting bits and pieces of the story. The only thing I remember is walking in the club with Xan and taking shots. Fuck how could i be so reckless?

I sigh rubbing my forehead.

Feeling down myself i realize i'm no longer in my clothes from the night sporting nothing but a t-shirt and I freak out even more knowing that someone undressed me. Hopefully they didn't try anything.

To my right there was a nightstand with a huge glass of water and Advil.

At least my kidnappers was thoughtful.

Moving the pill bottle I notice a note. Me being the noisy bitch I am picked it up shocked by the words.

You got drunk at the club last night, all our other friends were as well, so i brought you to my house to look after you. I know your head my must hurt from your carelessness so heres some things to make it feel a teny bit better. I'll be at a meeting till 12. Help yourself to anything.

-Xan

So I wasn't kidnapped. Good

I send Xan a text thanking him for looking after me knowing he didn't have to. I scold myself for the 10th time at how careless i was being. This could've ended so much more terribly.

Hopping out of his bed i make my way to kitchen getting lost a few times in all the hallways and rooms. I wave to all the guards as i pass.

I immediately make my way towards the fridge which is stocked to the brim and i feel my fat ass get excited at all the choices of food. Naturally I want to cook something.

I make a quick breakfast——pancakes, bacon and eggs doing my little happy dance while pouring me a glass of coffee. I hum the words to the song 'Forever Don't Last' by Jazmine Sullivan feeling a burst of happiness hit me.

"You seem to be having a blast."

I yelp snapping my head in the direction of the person speaking feeling myself tense. He looked familiar.

Shit he's the guy that was at my restaurant that time with Xan.

Not knowing his relation to Kingman i still remain on defense mode grabbing a knife pointing it at him making his eyes widen. For all i know he could be a crazy business partner thats mad cause Xan didn't except his offer like I've been seeing on Wattpad.

You won't catch me lacking.

"Who are you?" I blink once. "And why are the hell are you here?" My brows raise in accusation. The man chuckles at me raising his hands up.

"Well, aren't you cute. I'm Leo a friend of Xan." He explains calmly.

"Really?" What I actually wanted to say was Xan has friends?  "How do I know you aren't lying?" I ask keeping my eyes glued to him.
