INTOXICATED

CHAPTER 2

BLAIR GANNON

I laid on my back at my living room staring at my peach ceiling. What the fuck just went down today? 

My eyes became heavy until I heard my lovely neighbours quarrelling. A loud knock on my door startled me. Maybe it was Laville, wanting me to clean up my vomit stained on his office floor. Trust me he is crazy enough to do that. 

"Hi." I greeted the kid standing in front of me. The neighbour's twelve year old son. He didn't reply but I invited him in my apartment.
"Liam." He stretched his arm towards me. I shook it.
"Blair."
"Pretty name." He stated. I smiled at him.
"That's a first but thank you. Rough night?" I asked. He nodded.
"Today's been horrible."
"Pretty sure mine was worse kid. So, Liam, what do you wanna do?"
"Can I request something?" I gave it some thought...
"Okay, but your request must be something sensible." He glared at me for a minute or two.
"Show me your tits." He said and my laughter lashed out filling the room.
"Bold of you to ask for that."
"It will brighten up my mood lady. Show me your tits." He demanded now. It felt good to laugh after what I faced today.
"What is so funny?" He pouted.
"I like you kid. You ever watched porn?" I asked and he shook his head. "Are you lying?" He nodded. 

I gestured him to sit down as I was flipping through some videos on a porn site I found on my TV. 

"You can watch this, just don't tell on me."
"Are you kidding me? I don't want to die early." He replied.

I left him alone to do whatever he wanted. Showing kids pornographic films is not advisable but it made him slightly happy. I got in my room and dropped on my bed as curiosity took over. How did he dispose the body? Who was he calling when I walked in his office? Maybe his driver. No. How did they carry a dead body from the fiftieth floor of that building? But Laville looked hot with the blood spilled on his gorgeous face. I could stare at him all day without getting exhausted. I sighed.

I woke up to the bright sunlight. My phone kept ringing, it was annoying. I had a bizarre weekend but I somehow felt refreshed.

Holy Shit! Twenty eight missed calls from Laville, ten messages from him and four missed alarm notifications. I was basically dead. I didn't even take a shower, I just put on the nearest dress, put on my trench coat and heels, grabbed my phone and keys and left my apartment. Laville called again and I had second thoughts about answering it.

"Hel..."
"Where the fuck are you?" He screamed.
"I'm sorry. Just give me thirty minutes I'll be there."
"Ten minutes." He demanded then hang up. I had to take a taxi. My usual bus rides would have been the beginning of my painful death.

Twelve minutes later I arrived at his office. It was seemingly embarrassing to see my co-workers laughing at me while I was running towards the elevator. Why does it have to be me? 

I bolted in his office and it was neat and clean, they way it usually is. No dead rude blob on the floor.

"You are really brave showing up at my office," He glared at my dress, "fashionably late!" I looked down at my short green dress. Fuck! "Why are you late?" He asked. My eyes went back up at him.

"Erm... Someone broke in my apartment this morning." That was random. I just blurted it out without thinking. "I was with the cops earlier and..."
"Who do you think you can fool with that obnoxious lie?" He asked. "If its your down-and-dirty one night stand keeping you just say that." I scoffed.
"Are you mad that my 'down-and-dirty one night stand' wasn't you? I mean, if you want me that bad just say so." He slightly tilted his head leaning towards his desk.
"So I was right... Is that one of your dirty hobbies, Gannon? Dressing up like that its clear you desperately wanted to impress."
"You're an asshole!"
"Watch your tone when you are speaking to me..."
"Why? I already quit." 

My mind went blank when he calmly fished out a gun from his desk. He stood up and walked towards me. 

I was going to die. I was going to fucking die. He was probably going to bury me next to dead rude blob is some forest far away. He pointed the gun on me and a hot tear ran down my cheek.

BANG!

I flinched. No bullets.

"Don't test me. I won't hesitate to kill you. As I told you, nothing changes." He went back to his office chair. Jeez he is so intimidating. He doesn't like to lose, got me worked up and for what?
"Leave my office." He said and I hesitated a little bit.
"Nine o'clock."
"What?"
"Time of arrival. Nine o'clock. Please?" At least he should give me that.
"No!"
"Come on, Cut me some slack." He immediately gave me a death stare. I sighed. As I was about to leave, I heard, "Be here at eight thirty and strictly in appropriate clothing" I smiled a little bit. Gosh I shouldn't, he pointed a gun at me not long ago and supposedly called me a slut. What if it was actually loaded? 

---

Two weeks had passed and everything was just... normal. There weren't any missing reports of dead rude blob, maybe he had no family of his own.  I'm pretty sure that is not how it works. Laville probably paid off his family to shut up or worse, killed the whole family. As much as he is dangerously hot, those are people's lives he is messing with. It doesn't need to involve me. It shouldn't.

"When is my meeting with Aleksandr?" He asked glaring at me.
"This week, on Friday. He requested you to meet him in Florida."
"Florida?"
"Yes sir." He fell into silence for a minute or so.
"Join me. I want you there with me." I found that absurd. Lord knows whatever psycho thing he would do to me if I go.
"Why?" I asked him and his eyes mocked me. He didn't need to say anything else. I sighed. "Sorry sir, but I don't understand why me being there with you is necessary."
"Who do you think you are to defy me? Keep up and you'll see what happens. We leave tomorrow for Florida. I'll pick you up at ten. Now leave my office."

He has never done this before. Florida seems nice. Laville is the problem. I was hundred percent sure this was going to be the most painful trip I'll ever experience.
