When freedom strikes

XI

"Bitch are you two like... TOGETHER?" Chacha and Jorge are in my office eating lunch with me again, pestering me about my entrance with Kairo this morning. "Not exactly Chacha.." I try to hide the smile that was fighting to take over my face. "So what the hell?" Jorge leans closer as if someone will hear us. I try to find the right words for whatever Kai and I are doing but I can't.

"He helped me out of a really bad situation, I was being pimped out." The pair gasp but say nothing. "Truth be told I've only known him for a week and a half but..." they lean in even closer. "We had sex this morning." They both do a whisper scream before begging for me to give them the dirty little details. "There's not much to tell, one minute he was telling me about his past and the next... well you know." I shrug before taking a bite out of the sub Chacha bought for me.

"Was it good?" The desperation in her voice making me laugh. "He was amazing. That's all I'm saying about it." Jorge gives me a fist bump before rubbing Chachas arm. "Girl you got skills. Practically every woman here minus Chacha has tried to get with this man for the past two years." My mind drifts to what he was saying earlier, he really hasn't had sex in two years? Is that why he called Jason? There's a knock at the door causing all of us to look at each other in confusion.

A blonde sticks her head inside and tells me that Kairo needs me down in conference room four. Chacha and Jorge make kissing sounds as I leave them in my office. What could he need from me? I follow the petite woman into the elevator at the end of the hallway. "So." The woman eyes me before her face turns dark. "Do you think you're special? You waltz in here and get Brandy fired and then you have the boss bring you to work? Tackless." Her words make me angry. "You don't even know me hun." I turn back towards the double doors praying that this elevator would hurry up so I don't end up in jail. "Go figure some worthless whore thinks she's good enough for Kairo." I'm the only person he allows to call him by his first name. "I'm sorry who are you again?" The blonde stares at me with anger dancing in her eyes. "Tiara and you'll see, he's using you for his own petty entertainment." She huffs and stomps out of the elevator leading me to the conference room.

She knocks on the door before opening it and shoving me inside. Kairo has his phone to his ear and holds up a finger signaling for me to wait. It's only a few moments before he hangs up and turns to look at me. "Hello beautiful." His words giving me butterflies but anger still surges in my bones. "Kairo.. who the hell is that Tiara chick?" He frowns but realization covers his face seconds later. "She works in accounting why?" I take a few deep breaths before explaining to him what happened on the elevator. At some point during my story Kai ended up in front of me. His arms pull me against his broad chest, his scent filling my nose. "I'll have her fired." Before I can object he presses a button on his phone and a young blue eyed boy enters the room. "Yes sir?"

"Have Ms.Bosco collect her things and let her know she no longer has a job working for me." The boy disappears and Kai smiles down at me. "Problem solved." Rolling my eyes I attempt to free myself from his hold. His grip tightens and he uses his opposite hand to make me look at him. "Please don't give me attitude unless you want me to bend you over this table." His words making the butterflies in my stomach go crazy. I clear my throat before asking him what he called me down here for. He grabs his phone while keeping my body pressed against his but I make no complaints. "Listen to this." He presses play and the voice id wished left me alone fills the air.

"Good morning Mr.Green. This is James from angel's service, I'm calling about a girl of mine that went to your residence about a week ago. She hasn't returned and I was wondering if you'd be able to tell me when the last time you saw her was. Feel free to call or text me whenever you have the time." The voicemail ends and I find myself sick to my stomach. "He's looking for me.." fear fills my body at the idea of having to go back to him. "Hey agápi mou, he won't have the chance to put his hands on you again. I promise." He cups my face and stares into my eyes. "I swear to you, I'll protect you with my life." The sincerity in his eyes makes me nod. Not only do I believe what he's saying I feel it. "Okay."
Kairo kisses my forehead and then finally lets me go. "He may be watching the hotel though, how do you feel about dying your hair?"

Two hours later I'm leaving the salon with brand new hair. Chacha came with me just because I didn't want to be alone and Kairo couldn't leave work. "That's so scary. Do you think he knows?" She holds my hand as we walk down the street and it makes me appreciate her so much more. I've only known this girl for two days and yet she feels like a sister to me. "I don't know but Kai thinks he may be watching the hotel." Saying it aloud makes the knots in my stomach twist. We make it back to the apartment and I look around before we walk inside, it doesn't do anything for my nerves.

Chacha practically melts when she meets Binx for the first time. "Stop where did you get her?" She holds Binx in front of her face and lets out a 'awww' when she licks her face. "She was a stray." Chacha bumps me with her hip as she makes her way to the couch. "Good pussy and you adopt strays? Bitch you're like an angel." Hearing Chacha speak so American like makes me laugh. Her accent still French but her word choice doesn't match. I join her on the couch and we decide to watch movies until Kairo makes it home.

The door swings open jolting me and Chacha awake from one of the best naps ever. "All you do is sleep Bell." Kai teases me before realizing that Chacha was sitting beside me. "Hello Natacha. I appreciate you staying with her." Chacha stretches as she stands from the couch. "It's no problem Mr. Green. I love Bella." He laughs before nodding. "We aren't at work, call me Kairo. You should stay for dinner. I'm cooking." Chacha looks back at me and I nod enthusiastically. "He's an amazing chef." Once she agrees Kai slips away to change into something more appropriate for cooking. "Let's kick off this night of fun shall we?"

And the drinking begins! Jason's damn crazy, I wonder what's gonna happen.
