He stands over me like a fucking cloud until eventually the glass shoots straight for me, I roll missing it by not even an inch.

"Can we not do this?" I say with completely with bore, he simple smiles though shrugging his tense shoulders up a notch.

"Give me the flash drive and I'll think about it"

We circle around each other, carefully watching every step the other person makes. The quote in the room heightens every breath, every muffled footprint of his in the soft carpet and I can't for the life of me see him coming to any understanent here. At least this gives me some sort of advantage, the longer he prowles around in circles like some caged animal finally set lose I get to figure him out, except there's really not much to gain from this at all, his steps are wide, calculated and heavy. Toros only slightly hunched over to me yet his build is clearly all muscle, I could very much punch him all I want but a man like him has been trained day and night through punches far stronger than mine, no, I need to avoid him best I can, sometimes distant is the power move, the further I get the more I can do.

"I don't fucking have it "

He stops fast, so fast I was still taking my third step until having to halt too. Now we're no longer across from another, I'm too close to his side. "Well then tonight is not your lucky night is it little girl?"

He jumps for me and I move forward sliding hard to the side only to realize I fucked up big time as he ducks down cutting my leg in the process. I hiss out instantly feeling my teeth light on fire as I press down biting all the pain away, not now, focus. I grab hold of my leg in case of it being a bleed but as it all but tricked past the gaps of my fingers I know it's manageable, bad, but manageable. Suddenly the glass piece is thrown to the side, the power of shattering even against the soft carpet and for a moment I stand there confused. But that feeling goes away fast when he pulls out another goddam gun.

"I mean seriously how many do you have"

"Enough to kill you and that full of shit prick"

"You're here for Nicholas and yet you're trying to kill me, are you like stupid or something?"

He lowers the gun slightly, looking at me all confused. Dark eyes peak at me through the longs of his hair in such a way that it makes even him uncomfortable, so much so that he physically moves some strands apart, letting his face finally breath in full view before returning his grip at the gun with both hands "He cares about you, that's enough for me" he shrugs.

"Donte cares about me, Nicholas is just someone who's related to Donte and-"

He shoots a bullet right by my foot stopping me from talking, the carpet sizzles letting a rise of smoke swirl from the burning hole "I saw him push that guy out the window for you, I also saw how close you two got by the swimming pool so I have to warn you here, do not lie to me"

"I'm not. I'm telling you the truth, if he cared I wouldn't be her at gun point would I?" My skin behind to heat as I lean on my better leg, I'm losing blood too fast.

His head tilts for nothing but to mock a sadden frown "I wish I cared I really do but if you're too stupid to realise what's in front of you then so be it, die like that"

"I'm not going to die" I state.

"God you really are stupid, are all the women this empty nowadays or were your parents just tapped in the head and had you anyways?" He chuckles and the metal piece joins him, the both of them laughing like no care in the world "you're going to die" suddenly sobered and completely silent I watch as his finger tightens at the trigger.

"No, she's not" Nicholas says out of nowhere standing right behind the man.

A knife enters his throat to the point where the very tip of it comes out the other side. He chokes out a chunk of blood, spitting it across the whole white carpet before dropping his gun to get a better grip on his throat, but Nicholas doesn't give him a second to feel better. As he falls to his knees Nicholas rips the knife out letting more blood pour out of him. He picks the man up with such ease I feel like this might be some fucked up nightmare, he throws him onto the edge of the bed snapping his back in half along with the wood.

I turn around not wanting that in my head. I know I've done things but it doesn't make it any easier. I level my breathing as best I can still feeling the relentless flow of blood trailing down my leg, I've made a small pool at my foot, the whole carpet around it has begun to glisten now. Then suddenly a hand gently touches my shoulder, turning me around slowly. I don't fight him as I quite literally have no energy left in me to even begin yelling at him.

"Mia" there it is, my name coming out of his mouth, I could fall asleep to that. I close my eyes not wanting the feeling to end, once again his fingers trace over my jaw before tipping it up making me look at him. When I do it's Nicholas and not the man I saw a few second ago, he looks like he's about to say something when his men rush in with guns pointed in all directions scanning the place.

I don't look away from Nicholas, I watch as he stares at his men with nothing but vengeance. There he is again.

I lean on my the bad leg as the only dependent one has run completely numb, but as I do my head rolls slightly back trying to loosen the painful knots forming in my shoulders, I sigh as I do but to that he instantly notices frowning with both anger and worry "you're hurt" he snakes his hand away from my jaw and onto my waist as he leans down picking me up. Im trying to get away, truly, but apparently my version of running away right now is leaning closer to the crook of his warm neck.

"All of you meet me downstairs in twenty" his chest vibrates from his voice and I would honestly hate to be any one of them right now "you know, if you wanted me to carry you there was no need to be so dramatic"

I chuckle "and if you wanted me in yours so badly you didn't have to wait so damn long before helping"

"I guess the next time we could just skip this part"

"Oh I don't know actually, this whole drama scene is kinda fun but if you say otherwise I guess I can do without the whole bleeding out thing"

He smiles tightening his grip on me "cmon love, let's get you cleaned up"
