My Sweetheart

"That was amazing! Honestly, it's been months that we are spending time together like this." Julian purposely clung onto Meredith and this was surely being way more awkward for the other two who sat across them, when Mike and Stacy just eyed Meredith and Julian.
 
"Y-Yeah. Um. Meredith? I don't think that, Drew would like this thing between you guys." Mike strangely furrowed his brows when he pointed towards the linked arm of hers with Julian.
 
"Oh, please Mike! We are just friends, okay? Not more than that. And besides, I told Drew already that I'll be spending my precious time with you guys." She took it normally when she thought that this won't hurt her owner but had no idea about how he was fuming back at his office while looking towards everything that was showing over his phone screen through a secret video-call being made by one of his spying guards.
 
"Um. Alright. But still. You should be careful." Mike said with a concerned look.
 
"What are you trying to say? That I'm harmful for her?" Julian confronted him surely behaving a little mad over his thought.
 
"Guys, don't fight! We are here to spent some fresh good times." Meredith prevented their rage to go further as she talked very politely with them.
 
"Yeah, guys. Let's have fun." Stacy also participated in cooling down the environment around them.
 
Just for the sake of Meredith that Mike shut himself for a while when later he stood up and sighed. "Um. I better get going, Meredith."
 
"Why are you leaving, Mike? We still didn't go for the coffee." Her innocent puppy eyes blew him off in minutes but he couldn't just bug around her with Julian like that as he really wanted to explain her how much of a bad guy that Julian was being, but still Mike doesn't wanted to lose such a precious girl like that.
 
"We can have the coffee tomorrow, Meredith. I just got to remember. I've a lot to study." Mike passed her an apologetic smile and she nodded at him.
 
"Okay."
 
She also stood up with her bag and bid farewell to Mike and Stacy when they both were praying that she gets in her owner's safe hands real quick because they both saw that the guy she was being with right now? Wasn't a good one at all.
 
"So. Meredith baby?" Julian once again purposely circled his arm around her waist but she awkwardly kept his hand away from herself.
 
"Ye-Yeah?" She now felt a little unsafe when it was really getting dark as the night could begun to eat you with that darkness, as now they were walking by the side of the road.
 
"I was thinking if, we both can go for the coffee right now?" His eyes now landed on her slightly revealing chest when she still took him as her innocent friend while staring straight in his eyes full of false emotions at the moment.
 
"What? Julian, we planned it tomorrow. Don't you think that, we should go with Mi-"
 
"Meredith." She suddenly heard a call behind her and saw the man who stood at a distance from them when he saw how Julian had his arm around her figure while trying to sink more in her by the minute as soon than he reached them. "Princess, you took so late. I was worried about you."
 
"Drew. I was just coming home. I thought it would be fine for me to walk back home." She now watched him walking at her as he later held her hand tightly and pulled her over to his side, when soon then he softly claimed her lips with a gentle kiss.
 
"I was worried about you." He conveyed politely.
 
"You don't have to. I told you that I was being with my friends."
 
"I know, babygirl." He gave her cheek a mild caress and later averted his eyes over another man who stood besides them. "But still, you need to be careful of the dogs that chases you in night."
 
When while looking towards them both, Julian was definitely burning in pure jealousy and thought of pissing the billionaire's ass off for sure as he laughed hysterically after few minutes.
 
"Sweetheart. Seems like your daddy don't want me to be with you."
 
"How dare you call her that?" Drew's nerves went fire when he heard that particular nickname slipping through other guy's tongue.
 
"Drew, stop that! He's an old friend of mine." She hurriedly held his wrist when he madly eyed Julian who smirked while daringly staring back in his furious eyes.
 
"But no one can call you that except me! You are my sweetheart. Understood?" He turned back towards her and she just stared him with a confusing look over her face.
 
"Wha-"
 
"Let's go home." He announced strictly.
 
"Drew-" Before she could manage to say another word, he slightly dragged her from there when he was so pissed off from the way she was being so comfortable with Julian and the anger escalated even more when Julian called her sweetheart. At the moment she was seated besides him in his ride when she had her arms crossed over her chest while it was also heaving madly out of the temper she was holding right now. "Why the fuck did you do that?! I met my friends after so long and you did this!"
 
"You're acting way more pathetic right now, princess."
 
"Just shut up!!" Her hormones surely didn't made her realize that with whom she was sitting and what's the situation currently, when she suddenly yelled at him and he just closed his eyes while exhaling a heavy sigh when he also turned his face towards the window and let her take out all of her frustration when she pursue to rant him ahead. "YOU ARE BEING SO PATHETIC."
 
"No one else than me, has the right to call you that nickname. And also? I can trust you with Mike and Stacy but not with Julian." He was serious when he delivered his words in a dangerous tone.
 
"How did you even know about my friends?! Were you spying on me!!" She still didn't lower down her vicious tone when at the same time she angrily gritted her teeth and fisted her small hands while raising her voice every passing minute.
 
"Yes. I was, and I will do that even in future. Meredith, you need to be protected at any cost." He now looked her directly in her ember eyes when he asserted his words politely.
 
"Julian and I are really great friends! And you need to understand that." The whole way to home that she argued with him non-stop whereas he still just handled her with care.
 
"Couldn't you see that mischievous glint in his eyes at that time? That I could even from a distance? I'm a man, Meredith, and I can tell you that." The ride now finally reached his huge mansion when she was still being mad at him as without another word that she furiously left the SUV and walked towards the entrance. "Meri--Meredith!! Sweetheart, wait!" No matter how many times that he called her but she just didn't turn when she just angrily kept on stomping her feet on the grass while walking towards the garden. "Meredith sweetie!!"
 
"Don't talk to me!!" That was all that she said and he just sighed while watching her going away as he stood near the van.
 
"Sir, do you want me to set the table for dinner?" Mark reached Drew as he asked politely with respect.
 
"Yeah. Go. I'll be inside in few minutes." Whereas the exhausted businessman huffed after replying with his humble words.
